Book Description
Poignant, funny tales about a man and his dogand the lessons learned about responsibility and enduring friendship It is love at first sight when Carlo De Vito, an aspiring book editor, first meets Exley, the rambunctious, rescued German Shorthair Pointer he adopts and who becomes his faithful companion. In 10 Secrets My Dog Taught Me, De Vito writes about their experiences growing up togetherand the life lessons that invariably result from their adventures. Ultimately, when his beloved friend is gone, De Vito discovers some truths about love, loss, and lasting friendship. It had been Exleys job to raise me. All that time we had been having fun, going for walks, getting into trouble, being companions and friends in some great adventure. And I had spent so much time teaching him to sit, stay, lie down, roll over. But all along, he had been teaching me. It is the child that makes the man, and in this case it was a dog. All along it had been the dog doing the teaching, not me. How do you like that? And I love him for it to this day and will for the rest of my life. Writing in the heartwarming, bestselling tradition of Pack of Two and My Dog Skip, De Vito captures the spirit of that tie in a way that will resonate with not only dog lovers, but all those who share their heart and home with a pet.

Not what I expected..........2007-08-29
This book is okay I guess, but for some reason I just couldnt get into it. It wasnt like "Marley & Me" (which I loved. It lacked a little bit of emotion and it didnt seem like someone was just telling me their story about their dog, it just seemed like he was trying to teach me a lesson or lecture me.
10 secrets my dog taught me: lifes lessons from a mans best friend.......2007-05-12
This bookd was so enjoyable i coul hardly put it down. Being a dog lover it brought both laughs and tears. I recommed it for any kind of animal lover who can learn a lesson from a four legged person.
Excellent!.......2007-02-05
This book is so well written and a must read for any dog lover. It truly teaches you life lessons. I learned so much about my dog and myself as I read this book. Fantastic!!
Even better than Marley & Me.......2007-01-27
The author's style and story-telling ability are terrific and the story is touching. Marley & Me was a good book but this is the tale that belongs on the NY Times best-seller list!
Great lessons in a short book.......2005-12-12
As a dog lover, this book really hit the mark. It was short, entertaining, emotional, and provided life lessons (or reminders) to help each reader become a better person. I really enjoyed the story - I laughed and cried. A must read for dog lovers - particularly those strapped for time and tapped for patience.

Antique Trunks, Refinish, Repair, Restore
ASIN: 0764306170 |
Book Description
The variety of packing trunks and carrying bags for salesmen, tradesmen, bankers, doctors, and travelers that are shown here will astound you. Whether of light or heavy weight, large or small size, and specific or general purpose, they all were made with a job in mind. Taken from the pages of sales catalogs of the 1890s, these illustrations are advertising pieces to the new mail-order business. They evoke the time when objects were made to last forever, and today there are trunks and bags of these types available in the antiques market. The Price Guide reflects what their values are today.

Pass on this book.......2007-09-09
If you are at all interested in learning about trunks, this is not your book. I ordered it as a companion guide to Morse & Edelstein's "Antique Trunks" and was extremely disappointed. The book only contained drawings of trunks (no photos), many of which looked like they had been badly copied and were so dark that it was nearly impossible to see any details. Perhaps even more annoying was that it appeared that the author focused only on one particular trunk manufacturer. After reviewing it for about 15 minutes, I just gave it away (that's how annoyed I was).
It isn't what I expected.......1999-08-13
Looks like a nice collection of photocopied Sears catalogs from many years ago, but contains little info on trunks or bags, who made them, etc. Claims to be a price guide but actually lists just a few prices for items, and, in my opinion, the prices were pretty far off from what I've seen in shops.
Book Description

Book Description
Introducing tile and stone into the home gives designers and homeowners an artistic medium like no other. Reclaimed, antique terra-cotta tile can transform a high-rise city kitchen into a French countryside retreat. Italian mosaic tiles hand-assembled in geometric borders and colorful murals can turn an ordinary bathroom into an oasis of luxury.
This book traces the latest designs using tile, stone, and mosaic. Through beautiful photography and illustrative text, installations for every room in the house-kitchens, bathrooms, living rooms, and more-are presented. Renowned designers and tile manufacturers from around the world share their exquisite creations.
In this high-tech world, tile, stone, and mosaics can fulfill our innate desire for tactile design. With these materials, we can create homes that are sensual places where the feel of cool stone beneath bare feet is as important as its deep, rich color or how the sunshine illuminates it.
For interior designers, homeowners, and apartment dwellers, this book is an essential guide to using tile and stone to decorate. It will surely inspire.

Although more-experienced mosaicists will want to look elsewhere, Decorating with Mosaics offers a decent introduction to the craft. Clear color photos illustrate every step of the directions, as well as the finished product. Utilizing shards of china and ceramic tiles with the occasional array of seashells or terra cotta, projects include bowls, plates, flowerpots, boxes, a small table, a birdbath, and a bathroom backsplash. The designs are not exceptional nor are the colors especially exciting, but the presentation is less intimidating than more-advanced guides and should prove helpful to the novice. --Amy Handy

Decorating with Mosaics.......2000-02-05
This book is great for the begginer such as myself. Pleanty of ideas to try, and also the start of designing something on your own. I looked at several other books on mosaics, and found them interesting , however, for the begginer and/or the craft person who dosent need to know the why's and wherefores, these other books, I found, were for the art student, or perhaps art teacher. For someone who wants to learn how to do mosaics in her/his home for the FUN of crafting, this book answered my questions, and gave me the oportunity to make some very wonderful mosaics projects! My friends are asking me to make some projects for them. What better compliment can one have! Thank you.
hard to recommend this one.......1999-12-15
Besides being a mosaic artist, I am a collector of mosaic books (more than a dozen in all) and I can't recommend this book. Not only have you seen these projects executed in a more interesting fashion in other books, the technique (what technique?) is really poor. If you follow it, you will get poor results. Buy Cheek, Goodwin, Dierks or Biggs/Hunkin instead. They are mosaicists.
