Book Description
Explore The Universe Of Stamps!
Stamps represent so much more than the fee to mail a letter. In their own small way, they remind us of what is unique and special about America, highlighting the people, places, events, and issues that are important to us as a nation.
The 2000 commemorative stamp program celebrates the vast universe of stamp collecting with several new stamps focusing on space exploration. In a year that carried us into a new century and a new millennium, it's fitting that the United States Postal Service shows us the beauty of outer space as captured by the Hubble Space Telescope. These extraordinary images symbolize not only humanity's achievements in space so far but also the infinite possibilities of our future space endeavors. The Stampin' The Future contest resulted in four delightful new stamps depicting children's views of life in the twenty-first century, proving that the future is indeed as limitless as the imaginations of our young generation.
From historic events to charitable causes, influential people to natural beauty, the 2000 collection pays tribute to the same spirit of exploration here on our planet. Whether it's the exhilaration of track-and-field competition or the awesome power of U.S. Navy submarines, the vivid flora and fauna of the Pacific Coast rain forest, or the intriguing creatures found in the depths of the world's vast underwater wilderness, this year's collection depicts a genuine diversity of subjects. A fascinating selection of men and women are featured: four distinguished soldiers; a Cabinet member; an actor, an artist, and a novelist; an astronomer; and twenty legendary baseball players--all pioneers in their respective fields and, in their own special way, representative of what makes us uniquely American.
Beautifully illustrated and designed as a cherished keepsake for stamp collectors and enthusiasts of all ages, The 2000 Commemorative Stamp Year Book is the perfect way to capture the excitement of this year's stamp program.

Excite a child about something not related to technology!.......2004-02-21
I love these books and buy them every year. I was started at the age of 6 by my dear departed uncle on collecting stamps. I can now share this simple joy with my own nieces and nephews. The book is full of information and photos relating to each postal issue (complete commemorative issues for the year). And the copies I have purchased new from the original vendor, obviously the US Postal Service, have come with the stamps and the protective sleeves to insert each stamp into before mounting them in the book itself. (I have noticed some offered on the secondary market are without the stamps.)
They are each different in design each year and covered in a durable laminated type cover. A collection of these in the book case would provide many hours of entertainment year ofter year, without turning on a tv or a computer. They would offer a great family activity to work through and study upon the subjects included in the yearbooks. You know what they say about learning something new everyday....
Great gift idea.......2000-12-13
If you know someone who enjoys collecting stamps, or enjoys learning about Americana, then this is the a good book for that person. The very nice hard bound book contains the commemorative stamp series for the year 2000. What is cool is that the actual stamps are enclosed. Surrounding each stamp is about two pages devoted to describing the history and background of the stamp and its subject.
I do not keep books on my coffee table, but I would assume that this would be a good book for that purpose. I enjoyed receiving this book as a gift, and I am sure others would as well.

Book Description
The Philadelphia Flower Show is a visual celebration of the world's most spectacular indoor flower show. Organized by the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society, the event is staged each year in early March and attracts some 300,000 visitors to the Pennsylvania Convention Center.
Covering more than ten indoor acres, the event features a breathtaking array of horticultural subjects. Included are elaborate flower-filled landscapes with blossoming trees, exquisite floral arrangements, impeccably groomed perennials, cacti and other succulents, orchids, topiary, bonsai, and much more. All proceeds of the Show are dedicated to the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society's education and urban beautification programs.
This beautiful book is a behind-the-scenes tour of the Show with interviews and profiles of exhibitors, organizers, and designers. Lavish full-color photographs of the prizewinning plants and large displays capture the proceedings in stunning detail. Also included is a brief history of the Show along with a passionate foreword by gardening guru Ken Druse that captures what makes the Show so compelling and popular year after year.
Wonderful stories, inspiring advice, and gorgeous photography combine to make The Philadelphia Flower Show the ultimate companion to the greatest plant and flower show on earth.
Customer Reviews:
The Book is Great!.......2007-03-15
Its just that I'm very dissapointed that there were no landscapers, who included Leprechauns in their "Legends of Ireland" display for the 2007 Flower Show at the Philadelphia Convention Center :-(
Philly Flower Power.......2004-03-04
Having been to the Phildaelphia Flower Show for the past 20-odd years I am thrilled to finally see a book about this amazing annual event. And what a book! It's filled with page after page of gorgeous photos and wonderful stories about the exhibitors. The subtitle is Celebrating 175 Years and that's just what this book is, a fabulous party of flowers and plants, just like the show!
An amazing look at an amazing show!.......2003-12-16
I love this book! Beautiful pictures, and the text really makes you feel like you are a Philadelphia Flower Show insider. A wonderful present for gardeners, even armchair gardeners!
Like a bouquet of plastic flowers on your birthday..........2003-12-04
What a disappointment! I love the Phila Flower Show and have been attending since the days at the old Civic Center. That was what I was hoping to see -- photos from the old days when the escalator lowered you into a garden of Eden. Instead, the book contains photos (very nice indeed) of recent shows, most from this past year's show (2003). Only a few photos of old appear in the beginning of the book. I would have liked to see photos of the shows through the years, diagrams, layouts and photos illustrating what it takes to set up this immense show. The interviews with show stalwarts such as Lee Radon, were great, but just not enough. The show has been in existence for 175 years. The book does not demonstrate this phenomena or the passion of its staying power. All-in-all, its just another coffee table book with pretty pictures. Too bad!
Book Description
This informative and encouraging book is written by an author with more than 35 years' experience. It explores flower arranging as an art form, with special emphasis on creativity and developing one's own style, while not neglecting functional uses such as table settings.

Creative Flower Arranging by Betty Belcher.......2007-03-11
Received the new paperback promptly and in excellent condition. It was exactly what I expected. Good job!
Dare to be Different.......2007-03-09
My promptly delivered Floral Design for Home and Flower Show is excellent!
A book filled with wonderful ideas, helpful hints and top class photographs.
I enjoy 'thinking outside the square' and am looking forward to trying out ideas as I get the opportunity.
Top quality printing and layouts.
Loved by garden club members!.......2006-03-10
Cover to cover, this book shows and explains many of the aspects of working with flowers and design.
Creataive Flower Arranging.......2003-09-09
For a garden club member who wants the most concise and helpful guide to arranging for Flower Shows, this is the best text I have seen. Although I have been entering shows for over 25 years, I found it very educational. The detailed descriptions of each type of design, along with great color photographs, were able to provide a framework to try new types of creative arrangements.
The title of this book should read creative vases.......1999-11-21
The entire book is devoted to most unusual vases which would be used by very few people. The actual floral designs used do not require a great deal of creativity.

Actually learn the language Tired of spending money on language courses that don t work? Did you ever think the problem could be with the course and not you? With Linguaphone s unique learning sequence: Listen, Understand, Speak, you will find yourself actually using the language in no time at all! You are presented with a unit of the language, it is then broken down and explained to you, then you put it back together with greater understanding than just repeating what you may not have understood in the first place. . . . and learn it well! The all Talk methodology not only teaches well, but will have you speaking and understanding basic spoken Spanish in no time at all.

This book makes it easy for you to teach your little one about the Gospel of Jesus. It also taught me alot! It has examples of current day problems and how they are handled according to the Bible. I would recommend this book to every mother and grandmother who have a desire to teach their child about our Lord. Thank you.

Wow- This is a great family book that is sure to become an hierloom! A strong charachter building collection of short stories that can be read at bedtime or during family home-evenings! If my children learn just part of what is covered, they will be richer for it!
