Book Description
Choosing a bottle of wine should be fun, not frightening. After all, one of the most important elements of enjoying wine is not so much the vintage or the vineyard but the occasion on which it is enjoyed.
In their new book,
Wine for Every Day and Every Occasion, Dorothy J. Gaiter and John Brecher, authors of the popular weekly "Tastings" column in the
Wall Street Journal, give you the kind of honest, accessible wine information that is hard to find.
In
Wine for Every Day and Every Occasion, Dottie and John, as they are known to their fans, answer the most frequently asked questions about what wine to drink on specific occasions. They cover all the bases: What wine should I put away for my newborn's twenty-first birthday? What wine is best with Thanksgiving turkey? They also suggest ways in which wine can make every day a little bit more of an occasion -- how to throw a wine tasting, how to start a wine-tasting group, even how to add wine to your tailgating party. And they share scores of tips from people like you.
Chapters include lists of specific wines and provide readers with suggestions for choosing Champagne to ring in the New Year and for chilled whites (and even reds) to drink in the summer. There is no stodginess about vintages and there are no numbered ratings.
Wine for Every Day and Every Occasion gives you simple, straightforward advice to help you choose the best wines for life's best moments. As Dottie and John say, "The problem with most wine books is that they are about wine. Our book is about life."
So raise your glass to
Wine for Every Day and Every Occasion. And drink to life.

Enjoying wine.......2006-01-26
Easy and entertaining reading. Enables you to learn some things about wine without feeling like you have to study to do so.
The Love of Wines.......2004-12-02
This is the third book (plus one revised) on wine authored by Dottie & John, two very talented writers for the Wall Street Journal. If you enjoyed their first two books, you will love this one. As you probably already know, their books are not intended to be atlases of viticulture, but are "how to books" on the enjoyment of wine and how wine impacts our day to day life. How wine makes daily events more meaningful and helps to rekindle memories of remote events. The book should be read as a novel -- cover to cover -- as there are pearls of information in every chapter, including hints on how to tour domestic and foreign wine regions, on shopping for wine, gift suggestions, wine websites, and of course multiple suggestions for wines for any occasion. Most importantly, this book describes how hundreds of others across the world and you the reader can integrate the love of wine into your daily life.
A fantastic book that introduces people to wine! .......2004-11-19
It is a very unpretentious book that helps people choose and enjoy wine. I tremendously enjoyed the writing style of the two authors, as it was down to earth and very personal. A great book!
Book Description
Champagne is optimism in a bottle -- pop a cork and ordinary moments turn into sparkling celebrations. Indulge in 40 different Champagne cocktail recipes, plus learn Champagne history, lingo, food pairing suggestions, and toasts. This deck is a perfect hostess gift -- and an inspiration for a party of your own!

That cuddly chromatic pup of the television series Blue's Clues is at it again--this time Blue is taking a splash in the bath! And while she's soaping up and sudsing off the dirt, little ones will learn some basic hygiene, anatomy lessons, and a bit about numbers. "Will you help Blue shampoo her two... (Blue's ears poke up out of the suds)? And scrub her two front... (two dirty paws hang over the edge of the tub)?" This puffy plastic book is perfect for your favorite youngster's bathtime--especially as the whole thing is waterproof! (Baby to preschool)
Book Description
Look for additional Blue's Clues books -- board books, sticker books, and more!

INFANT BOOK.......2001-07-17
I THINK THAT THIS IS A GREAT FIRST BOOK FOR A CHILD. IT IS DURABLE AND EASY TO READ. MORE BOOKS LIKE THIS NEED TO BE OUT THERE. MY KIDS BOTH LOVE BLUES CLUES AND I AM REALLY GLAD THAT THESE ARE AVILABLE FOR THEM.
In or Out of the Bath - this book is tops!.......2000-03-27
My child has really enjoyed "reading" this book along with me! Although my twenty month old already knows most of her body parts, she has fun naming and picking them out on Blue. The illustrations are simple, yet interesting and the part of Blue that you are to name dominates the picture to give your child a "clue" as to which body part to name. This is a great way for children to learn sequencing as they wash each of their body parts while following along in the book. This is sure to be a favorite!
Thanks Blue!!!.......1998-07-30
I can't tell you how many times after we finish Blue's bath and turn the last page that I hear "Read it again Mommy". The children love to name all of Blue's Body parts as they help me read this cute little bathtime story. It's the perfect book to take in the bathtub, or give to a baby. The waterproof pages have stood the test of time. Keep up the great work!!

Book Description
Nothing beats a glass of champagne or sparkling wine for celebrating the special occasions in life or for pepping up an otherwise ordinary day. Jonathan Ray's "Bubbly" has all the vivacity and elegance of a glass of your favourite fizz. In it he reveals the essential facts and illustrious history behind champagne and sparkling wines, explains how the wines are made and looks at the wealth of styles available. With the basics considered, he comes to the best part--how and when to drink bubbly. Be it pure and unadulterated, or as part of a gorgeously decadent cocktail such as Bellini or a Black Velvet, fizz is impossible to resist. -As seductive as a tall flute of lightly chilled fizz, "Bubbly" celebrates the magic of champagne and sparkling wine -Wise and witty text form leading young wine writer Jonathan Ray
Customer Reviews:
A pretty trifle.......2004-01-10
This little book, the size of a CD jewel case, stretches a few short articles on champagne to fit 64 pages. There are pretty pictures, and some amusing type design. It might make a nice accompaniment to a gift of champagne, but if you're looking, as I was, for something substantive on the history and making of champagne, forget it.
In any event, I'm deeply suspicious of any book that comes with a list of places to buy "glasses and other bubbly accessories."

Delightful!.......2001-07-23
What an adorable story! I read it to my four-year-old every night before he goes to bed and he can't get enough of it and continually wants to play with bubbles. I think I've spent more money on bubbles this month than groceries! The quiz-wiz page in the back helps him remember the story and pay attention too... I wish more books did that! Kudos Mrs. Hitchcock!

Book Description
Ceramics of the 1950s and 60s are now a distinct collecting field—and, best of all, the items are both widely available and affordable. This Miller’s guide covers factories from Britain, continental Europe, and the USA, and contains information on designs and marks to help with identification.
Book Description
The 1960's witnessed more style changes than any other decade in the 20th century, and pieces from this period are becoming increasingly popular. Collecting the 1960's is packed with information on the classics of the era, from exclusive creations to neglected treasures that can be picked up for next to nothing. Topics covered include furniture, ceramics, glass, kitchenware, pop memorabilia, technology, fashions, toys, books, and psychedelia, with a price guide for every item.
Customer Reviews:
For British collectors.......2002-03-03
If you're into American collectibles from the sixties, this isn't recommended. This book is almost exclusively British products. I didn't recognize any of the items as being available in the US either during the sixites here, or widely collected here now.
Book Description
Starsky and Hutch, Elton John, Charlie's Angels, flared trousers, and platform boots are just some of the cultural icons to come out of the 1970s. This guide is full of information and advice on where to spot a bargain and uncover a classic piece of 1970s memorabilia.
Customer Reviews:
Didn't Remember a Lot of It - Lots of British Items.......2006-02-21
I grew up during the 70's, but did not remember many of these items. I should have realized the book would be that way(mainly British) since I already own the "50's" and "60's" edition, but since the 70's was my decade, I felt I had to get it as well. Disappointed, but still enjoy perusing the pages for the patterns and colors of the 70's.
Nostalgic fun - a great read.......2002-04-23
I had no idea this would pay off in an instant but all those things I grew up with in the 1970s - from calculators to clothes - do have a value today! It's real good-value reading - groove-on baby!
Book Description
Whatever they are purchasing, collectors need portable references that have the information they need to make informed buying decisions. And that’s especially true for glass items from the 1950s and 60s, because there are so many affordable and accessible options out there to choose from. Which would make the best investment? This compact Miller’s guide provides an excellent entry point to this area. It covers the wide range of techniques, shapes, colors, and textures of 50’s and 60’s glassware, and all the major manufacturing centers—Finland, Sweden, Czechoslovakia, Italy, Britain, and the US. There are full-color photos of more than 125 items; price guides for every piece displayed; and Fact Files with additional special details to enhance a collector’s knowledge.
Book Description

Book Description
Let the indulgence begin with a look through luscious photographs of bathrooms luxurious, utilitarian, and whimsical. The number of possibilities is endless, from Early American to Modern Minimalist, from old-fashioned claw-foot tubs to sleek granite-topped counters; will take your breath away (including one by Frank Lloyd Wright); super-luxury items, such as a sky-lit shower with inset windows, are all part of the fantasy
Customer Reviews:
Many photos.......2005-06-16
In Sensational Bathrooms, you will find pictures of everything from Victorian to ultra modern to traditional. We are going to add a master bath to the front of our house and needed ideas from which to start. This book helped us decide our preferred style. I like the thickness of the pages, too!
Great pics.......2003-07-27
Lots of good color pictures of bathrooms. Very helpful when starting a remodel to find out what look you want, or ideas of what can be done. I'm glad I got it.
