A very sweet little book =).......2006-02-09

I loved this little book! It is like a baby book for your dog. lol It's not big, but heck it's only $6.95 and for the money it is packed with just the right amount of beginner information for a new dog owner or for a kid getting their first dog. Well done fun photographs and cute large text. This book would be great for a first grade class room learning to read. For the beginner's info packed into this tiny inexpensive book, breeders should consider buying a crate of them and sending one home in each puppy care package!

Wish they discussed Chihuahua ADOPTION!!.......2005-05-10

Wish the authors had discussed chihuahua ADOPTION!! Due to the fact that Chihuahuas are a "fad" breed these days, there are lots and lots of wonderful Chis available for adoption at shelters and rescues across the country.

The authors also need to advise readers about the dangers of "puppymill" puppies.

It would have been nice to see references to great groups like Chihuahuarescue.com that are so helpful in placing dogs and educating chihuahua owners about care of these little dogs.

There also should be info about protecting chihuahuas from attacks from big dogs, a dangerous possibility with these small dogs.

Many topics left uncovered!

Adorable little book!.......2005-01-20

I bought this book for my daughter who is thinking of getting a Chihuahua. It is a cute little fun gift. Really cute pictures and fun little tibits of information for somebody considering this breed. It's like a baby book for Chihuahas. There is a place to record immunizations and a "love journal" to record birth parents, birth place, when adopted, ect. We love it!

Great for kids.......2004-12-26

This is actually a darling little book - perfect to give to young owners. Hints on housebreaking, training, etc.
And, as a bonus - 4 detachable post cards at the back.
I'd buy them now while they are available- will really be a neat collectible in the years to come.

Book Description

This photographic survey is richly illustrated with images of one of the world's largest private collections of bicycles from the 1850s to the 1950s, and includes some never-before-published photographs. From antique high wheelers and "boneshakers" to tandems, tricycles, and circus cown bikes, it provides a fascinating historical retrospective of the bicycle's development and evolution.

The next best thing to an actual visit.......2006-09-23

I too have had the privilege of visiting Mr. Metz's garage-cum-museum, which is only a half hour's drive from here. If you can't get to see his collection first hand, this is the next best thing.

fascinating reading and a fascinating museum.......2002-06-28

this book is an excellent pictorial trip through one of the world's finest collections of bicycles and related items. i have actually been to the Metz Bicycle Museum in Freehold, New Jersey and have had a personalized tour by David Metz, the owner of the museum which is the basis for this book. this book is a very good introduction to the history of bicycles and the photograpy is excellent. however, on an actual tour of the museum you get some of the most interesting stories first hand from David Metz. this 87 year young collector is only too happy to share his knowledge of bicycles with any visitor to his museum. the book and a trip to the museum if at all possible will both be something to remember

The smells of the great outdoors are captured in DK's small, sturdy board book Scratch and Sniff Garden. "What can you smell in the garden? Is the scent of the rose sweet?" the book begins. When you scratch the lovely yellow rose, it does indeed smell quite realistically roselike. Kids can also experience the pungent smells of lavender, a log, a newly mowed lawn, and a bunch of mint. This is a great way to introduce your kids to the aromatic wonders of the plant kingdom. And, DK's Scratch and Sniff Food is fun, too. (Baby to preschool)

Book Description

Two new books, chock-full of rich DK photography and lots of specially encapsulated sniffs, make these the board books toddlers will be itching to get their hands on!

Customer Reviews:

Great Book.......2007-10-03

My two-year-old and I really love this book. After I initially took off the shrink wrap, I thought the smells were a little hard to take; however, after the book "aired out" for a couple of days, the smells were not so strong and were very pleasant. The pictures are fun with the ladybugs, butterflies, beetles, etc. A great little book!

Like Real Life.......2007-08-01

I got this for my 2 toddlers and they love this book. The smells are very strong and they have nice big pictures. The smells really do smell like the real thing. It is a short story so a busy toddler's mind can consontrate long enough. I enjoyed this book.

Very Smelly.......2006-02-23

This is a very nice book. Good pictures and very potent smells. I would have given it 5 stars if 2 of the smells didn't smell VERY much the same. The smell is put on the page not with stickers (like I am used to when I was little some 30 years ago) but with a texured surface that is only visable when you look at it from an angle. Very large areas of smell make it easy to get a good whiff. I am hoping this new way of smell application also lasts much longer than the old way!!? Happy sniffing!

Scents of Summer!.......2005-05-09

Santa brought my little 2 yr old daughter this book for X-mas! She loves this book and so do I as it is a delight to smell fresh cut grass and fresh cedar wood in the dead of winter here! Am even getting a copy of this book for my 90 yr old grandmother who lives in a nursing home. How she would love to revisit these "warm weather day" smells!

Great to teach little ones to smell!.......2004-08-07

My son who is 11 months loves this book and he loves to smell (and lick!) the different items. It has simple text in the form of questions ("Does the rose smell sweet?") alongside with real-life photos.

The smells are: Rose, Lavendar, Pine, Grass, Mint.

It has lasted for a few months of abuse so far except for the last page (Mint) which the scent has faded.

I would definitly recommend this book and I look forward to owning the others in the scratch and sniff series.

Scented Containers comes to us from the garden author Sue Fisher (also known from radio and TV) who began writing following a career in the nursery and garden-center business.

In the modern world, visual images and technology tend to dominate, so that sight and sound become the chief senses, leaving smell lurking in the background. This is a shame, especially where gardening is concerned, as scent is often the most delightful of the pleasures that plants and flowers offer. This book sets out to redress this imbalance by showing how plants with scented flowers or aromatic foliage can be easily grown in portable containers to give ever-changing, year-round enjoyment in different positions in the garden. Whether you are new to gardening or are a seasoned gardener looking for fresh ideas, you will find an abundance of information here, ranging from which plants to choose and how to grow them to tips, projects, and seasonal reminders offering encouragement to gardeners of all abilities.

The text is clearly set out, straightforward, easy to follow, and liberally interspersed with truly magnificent color photographs, watercolors, and black-and-white diagrams. Of particular interest are the projects, the most glorious of which is the creation of a fragrant evening garden. Others include making herb hanging baskets and constructing and growing a cone of spring bulbs. The book concludes with a comprehensive directory of scented plants and herbs for easy reference, containing practical information on how to plant and care for your containers in order to obtain maximum results with minimum work. Scented Containers succeeds in providing fragrant inspiration for any gardener. --Susan Naylor

Book Description

90 pages in color! Turn your entire house into an aromatic paradise! Imagine walking through your living room and whiffing the rich perfume of a pot of lilies; then, as you cross the dining room, pausing to crush a few leaves of calamint in your fingers to release their pungent, minty aroma; then, strolling into the kitchen to inhale the scent of a few stems of sweetpeas; and, before heading for your bedroom, luxuriating in the evening aroma of gleaming white tobacco plants. A host of ideas and instructions show you how to arrange scented containers--"portable perfume"--indoors and outdoors, for every season and mood.

"podex" isn't in my dictionary though........2002-04-07

I'd be honored to be the first person to review this book. It seems odd that nobody bothered to before me; nearly every other work by Crowley has been reviewed by a representative selection of lunatics with bad grammar. Hmmm. I wonder what it is about this one.

Whether or not you "buy" Crowley as Prophet of the New Aeon and all that other crazy stuff, you have to concede that a) he was an extremely prolific writer, and b) nearly everything he wrote is extraordinary, if only for its audacity. The man had some nerve. In the present case, he dared, in 1910 London, to publish this volume of "ghazals" (sonnets on the Persian mold) treating vividly and explicitly of homosexual intercourse. This is no sublimated Oscar Wilde stuff either. Crowley gets down to plumbing. True, he does it from behind several pseudonyms - a "Major Lutiy", a "Reverend P.D. Carey", and of course, "Abdullah el-Haji" himself, the supposed original seventeenth-century Persian author of these crimes. The Major, it seems, had infiltrated a Sufi sect and acquired a rare copy of the "holy text" so jealously guarded from Westerns (hence its absence from the local library) and prepared it for publishing. But he was killed in S. Africa before he could complete the task; so a colleague picked it up on his behalf, and got the Reverend to put in his two cents on the general subject for the introduction.

This gives Crowley an opportunity to vent his own ideas on homosexuality from three different points-of-view, and while nobody today will read this book unaware of its true authorship, it was also intended to impart the credibility of three "respectable" men to this rare amalgam of oriental mysticism and hard-core gay sex. They speak of "sodomy" with absolute frankness as though it had never been considered socially tabu. The Reverend's essay is particularly explicit.

Then we get to the ghazals themselves. The first line reads: "As I placed the rigid pen of my thought within the inkstand of my imagination, I tasted the bliss of Allah..." Immediately you know what you're in for. He doesn't restrict himself to euphemisms for sex - rather sex is supposed to be the euphemism for the mystic "relations of Man with God," and is therefore treated in graphic detail. The text is littered with footnotes containing an amazing assortment of esoteric "odds and ends." There'a a table with the ninety-nine names of Allah, a clairvoyant's description of the 72 demons of the Goetia, a demonstration of magic squares - even an advertisement for "orchitic testicular substance - prepared from the testicals of the goat."

Crowley's major precedent here was Sir Richard Burton with his lush descriptions of Arabic homosexual practices in the footnotes to his translation of the "Arabian Nights," but of course The Beast takes it a hundred times as far in about a thousandth of the volume. Unique, elaborate to the point of rococo, vivid and contradictory and sure to offend practically everybody.

Book Description

Color, leaf, and texture tend to dominate gardeners’ criteria when it comes to plant selection. But in the garden, floral scent is often the most powerfully sensual experience. In this book, expert gardener Ann Lovejoy recommends and describes over 300 scented flowers that will provide fragrant beauty throughout the year. And because night-bloomers have some of the most aromatic scents, they get a chapter of their own. Here are profiles of longtime garden favorites such as roses and magnolia, as well as forgotten charmers like night phlox and the intoxicating datura. The descriptions include expert cultivation tips to attain the best results.

lovely pictures.......2002-03-27

The photographs in this book are gorgeous and the text is interesting, informative and inspiring. Rather than leaping right into a description of flowering plants, however, the author begins with a chapter on smell itself, discussing it's importance, the fragrances that were popular in the Victorian era and those that are sought after today. The plants themselves are divided by type: annuals (which, for some reason, is where he puts scented geraniums); perennials; roses; bulbs, corms and tubers; shrubs and vines; water gardens; night gardens; and scented houseplants. Each chapter describes a large variety of plants and explains where and how to grow them. Also included is a design map for planting a border of annuals; a brief section on the diseases and pests that attack roses; a short chapter on general garden maintenance; and a complete index (but no list of suppliers).

The author has an easy to read, rambling writing style. He tells stories, gives personal reflections, supplies quotes from litereature and horticultural writings, and clearly know his subject. If you are looking for a general book on fragrant gardens, then you'll probably like this one a great deal. But if you're looking for more of a guide to scented plants, which ones to grow where, in a concise format, then this isn't the book for you. The author does supply light/water/soil requirements and hardiness zones for the plants in the book, but it's included in the text, it isn't in an easy-to-find table which means that you have to read through the entire thing in order to find appropriate plants for your garden.

This book is so pretty and fun to read that it would make a nice present for someone who likes to read gardening literature but it really isn't for the person who, like myself, was looking for quick reference guide to the types of scented plants for zone 5 that grow in full sun and under dense trees.

Really fun!.......2003-11-30

This is such a fun book - the artwork that decorates every page is terrific, the writing style is fun, and while I've only played with a few recipes so far - I can definitely say so far so good! The book opens with an intro to faeries, the flowers of faeries, and essential oils. The it gets to drying flowers/herbs (I actually buy mine but plan to expand the gardens next spring so I might be doing some rdying next summer). There's general info on making potpourri in here like using fixatives to keep the scents etc. Then there's a great one-pager that lists the different plants and the type of scent they have so you can be creative if you want too. The recipes comprise the rest of the book and they have great names like "christmas magic", "dance of the morning nymphs" etc. On the facing page to each recipe is a little text of faerie lore pertaining to different plants that were used in the recipe. The recipes are broken out by season so as you welcome the changes of the year you can make a corresponding potpourri. The results are pretty and smell nice too.

a bit of a waste.......2003-04-04

the book is just a bit too cutesy, and doesn't really fit in any category. It is certainly not a guide to scent or perfume blending, nor is it a book about aromatherapy. I regret spending the money on it, and plan to offer it used for the price of shipping.

Even if you don't believe in fairies.............2001-05-27

This is a colorful little book packed with numerous (fairy friendly) recipes for enchanting creations. Lovely as a coffee table book and also makes a great gift for your crafty friends. I can't wait to try all of her ideas!
