Book Description

At last, a book about your dog that emphasizes total care, training and companionship! While you learn about all the wonderful traits that make your Brussels Griffon special, you'll also learn what the world is like from your pet's perspective; how to feed, groom and keep your Griffon healthy; and how to fully enjoy your unique companion through training and the many activities that you can both share. The Brussels Griffon is written by a breed expert and includes a special chapter on training by Dr. Ian Dunbar, internationally renowned animal behaviorist, and chapters on getting active with your dog by long-time Dog Fancy columnist Bardi McLennan. Best of all, the book is filled with info-packed sidebars and fun facts to make caring for your dog easy and enjoyable.

1 out of 5 stars Not a good book........2005-07-07

This book will do very little to help you understand the Brussels Griffon. There are only a few pages about Griffs. The rest is about any kind of dog, and Griffs are not like other dogs. They have many unusual traits. Save your money and buy a book that is really about Griffs. The only one I know of is Doone Raynham's.

5 out of 5 stars Wonderful Photos and Descriptions of a Great Breed.......2004-06-01

I thought this book was a wonderful guide to the breed; the last 1/2 of the book consists of standard guidelines applicable to any breed. The first half has beautiful pictures of representatives of the breed and gives forth knowledge of their specific personalities. I especially love the dog on the cover of the book.

3 out of 5 stars The Brussels Griffon : An Owner's Guide to a Happy Healthy P.......2000-05-19

It's a nice book, well printed with good pictures. Has good basic info about the Griffons. I get dissapionted with the training section. This section is for general dogs, not special for the Griffons. I think if you want general info (you don't know anyhing)about this dog you can by the book, but if you look just how you train your Griffon or want very deep info, don't buy it.

    Book Description

    To date, no single book has shown decorative artists how to design and paint beautiful decorative borders and ornamentation. Part of the problem is that decorative painters have trouble seeing that borders, just like any other design element such as a rose or a leaf, are "built" one brushstroke at a time in a repeating pattern.

    This one-of-a-kind book shows readers how to create an amazing variety of borders and embellishments using the simplest of strokes-comma strokes, C-strokes and S-strokes. It also provides hundreds of ideas that can be copied directly from the pages. This combination of "how-to" and "swipe file" content make The Big Book of Decorative Borders a must-have reference for decorative painters, crafters, do-it-yourselfers and interior decorators.

    Readers will find more than 500 different border designs made out of dozens of different elements, including flowers, leaves, vines, scrolls, shells, lace, ribbons, bows, children's themes and more. Also included are guidelines for blowing up patterns to the proportions needed for any size job, from decorative boxes to entire rooms!

    5 out of 5 stars How many ways do I love this book.......2000-02-06

    Although this book is at present out of print a friend managed to pick it up in England having borrowed mine. This truly is a superb cross-stitch resource. The alphabets are divided into various sections such as floral,antique,elegant,baby,kids etc. As with all The Better and Homes And Gardens imprint this is downright lavish in its use of colour and the size of charts. The alphabets are shown finished in myriad ways. It is all here, boxes, cushions, throws, towel borders, afgans and of course alphabet samplers. It is yet another book to make me wish to live and stitch for a thousand years. If I could only ever take one cross-stitch book to a desert island this with be a real contender.

    I have this in hardback plus dust jacket in perfect condition and despite what it is worth I could not bring myself to part with it. It has beautiful alphabets and borders for every occasion and is laid out in sections for various life events such a birth marriage etc.The charts are large and easy to use with wonderful ideas of how to display your stitching to the best effect. Truly a book to drool over with an american slant.

    5 out of 5 stars EXCELLENT BOOK.......1999-04-26

    This book has some beautiful alphabet charts and great ideas for using them. I use it as a reference when adapting poems into cross-stitch. Please tell Better Homes and Gardens to bring this book BACK to printing.

      Book Description

      Wire and canvas decoys were popular around the Eastern shore of Virginia and the Carolinas near the turn of the 20th century. Because an abundance of good carving wood was not handy, decoy makers in this region used ingenuity to create clever replicas of large birds such as the Canada Goose. This book includes patterns for ten different breeds, a colorful gallery, helpful reference charts, and a lot of tried-and-true advice for carvers motivated to take on these projects, or to design their own. Al Streetman guides the reader step-by-step through making one of these wire and canvas decoys, through constructing the body and carving the head, to painting the finished project. He even demonstrates how to antique the decoy for an elegant weathered look., 90 color photos, 10 patterns , 8 1/2" x 11"

      5 out of 5 stars Wire and canvas decoy pattern review.......2000-01-11

      I wrote this book for people who want to make some different types of decoys. Maybe you don't have access to large chunks of wood, or maybe you don't have the tools to saw out large decoy patterns, even if you have large chunks of wood. This book will show you how a form of decoy was made around the turn of the century by people on the Eastern shore who were in the same predicament. It requires a minimum of materials and carving skill, but when you are done you will have a fine looking decoy. If you are an experienced carver, you can use your skills to add more details to the head area (such as glass eyes, more details on the face and bill, etc.).

      This is the second Tova Martin book I have purchased. There are so many beautiful photos that you won't even look at the text the first time through! Once you do, though, you'll find the text very informative on plant types and other wonderful tips.
      Window boxes and container gardens are a must in our mountain community -- this book will give you terrific ideas for anywhere in the country, beachfront or Rocky Mts! Great coffee table book too.

      Book Description

      Windows and window treatments can influence and enhance every decor: opening a room to a glorious view or securing privacy; letting in light or keeping it out; accenting, complementing, or unifying a decorating scheme; taming a large room or expanding a small one. In House Beautiful Windows, all facets of window treatment are explored, including such considerations as scale, proportion, color, and harmony. Window treatments appropriate to every decorating style are offered, from ultra modern to historic homes. The "mechanics" of window treatment-how and where to use them-is presented, along with a look at the traditional and offbeat materials and accessories. House Beautiful Windows, with its more than 125 full-color photos, concludes with profiles of six homeowners throughout the country who have devised their own approaches to windows and window treatments.

      I own most of the House Beautiful books and I just love them!! This one has so many great ideas for people just moving into a new home and ready to design their own space, or for those just wanting to add to their already stylish surroundings. I have clips marking pages throughout all my books and the clips come off and change pages as time passes. It's amazing that I keep finding new ideas, every time I look at this book! I highly recommend these books to a novice, an expert, or anyone in between for decorating inspiration. Have fun!!

      5 out of 5 stars Truly a problem-solving guide.......2005-02-04

      As an Interior Decorator who is really just starting out in this career field, I found window treatments to be my biggest challenge. There is nothing difficult about choosing great drapes, but I know from experience that window treatments can be true problem-solvers too, and I wanted to master the ability to match a great look with a great solution. This book offers ideas for filtering light to reduce a harsh afternoon glare, as well as how to combine modern window dressings with more traditional furniture settings. There are plenty of pictures, and I especially like the sections on various types of hardware and problem windows. There are plenty of books and magazines that inspire with beautiful photos but as a decorator, I do have my own inspirations for the look I want to achieve. What I needed was a practical guide that taught me all the basic options so I can now turn my ideas into practical window solutions that are also beautiful. This book is it!

            There are some great projects, but they seemed a bit too advanced for me. I was scared to try them, fearing miserable abject failure and mockery from my mate. I don't have mosaic scissors to "nibble" the tiles into the proper shapes. The directions seem clear, but I think probably are for people with some experience with home crafts.

            2 out of 5 stars just okay.......2004-03-27

            this book is okay -- the projects are very ordinary and the fabric shown is not very designer like. There were some good project ideas but nothing very splashy. Much better books available.

            5 out of 5 stars Excellent instructions, fun to read.......2003-07-25

            As a former technical writer, I am very critical of most instructional materials. This book, however, contains the best organized, clearest, most thorough, and best illustrated instructions I have ever seen. As an experienced sewer, I was impressed by the many sewing tips that I picked up from this book. The sections on decorative trims and buttons and buttonholes were especially helpful. The book was simply fun to read. The layout is pleasing, and the writing style is casual without being condescending or chatty. The ideas for window treatments are wide-ranging and creative. I originally borrowed this book from the library; now I'm going to buy a copy for myself.

            5 out of 5 stars Looking smart and fashionable without spending extravagantly.......2003-01-06

            5 out of 5 stars More Splash Than Cash Window Treatments.......2002-10-24

            Home decorators from Dunces to Divas will love this book.The treatments are lovely but once again, Ms Babylon has outdone herself on the instructions. This book is packed with details, suggestions, hints, tips, all in easily understood, easy to follow instructions. I've been sewing my own window treatments for years and even I learned many time saving, workroom tips. I loaned my copy to my teenage daughters and they were able to design and complete window treatments for their rooms. This book gave them the tools and the confidence to tackle the project!

            Thanks Donna and Victoria for another great hit!
