THIS BOOK IS GREAT TO HELP YOU IDENTIFY TRUE FIRE KING GLASSWARE. I'VE NOT FOUND THIS BOOK ANYWHERE ELSE BUT AT AMAZON. I'M SO GLAD YOU OFFERED IT, IT HAS BEEN NOT ONLY INTERESTING BUT VERY INFORMATIVE WHEN PURCHASING FIRE KING.

4 out of 5 stars Required addition to glass buyer's library.......2005-08-24

If you are just starting antiquing and are active in buying and selling glassware, you really need this knowledge. You see a piece of Fireking you have never seen before and the seller want $5 for it. Will you get a bargain or a piece you will live with forever? This book has pictures, sizes and realistic pricing on Anchor Hocking glassware. You can finally find out what that strange piece of glass you bought was used for. If you shop e-bay you can find out that those four Big Top Goblets listed for sale are really tumblers as I did this week.
If you want to sell glassware on E-bay this book will pay for itself. I just wish they would add to the book. I'd pay more. It would be worth it. The book has paid for itself in a month.

I have been an avid glass collector for years, and just recently began collecting vintage tableware and cookware too. This is my first book on the subject, and the informational text is only surpassed by the wonderful pictures of all my favorite pieces that I currently own, or hope to soon. This book covers alot of ground on the history of each piece, collection and patterns that are out there. In this particular editon, I found the section on Early American Prescut and Wexford, two of my favorites in pattern, particularly informational. I also found out information on some pieces I've had for years and knew nothing about too, which is always a fun and enlightening experience. ..............While the pricing gives you a rough idea of what pieces are worth, you need demand and a a buyer to get the value. Of course that is only when a piece is mint. .............. Price guide aside, if you are just an a person like me, who enjoys hunting down and amassing collectible glass and glassware for the sheer joy of surrounding yourself in it's beauty, as opposed to those folks who just buy everything they can find to make a profit, or do a bit of both, this and all Gene Florence editions will no doubt fascinate you too.

Book Description

“To produce quality work in an efficient manner, Guidice contends that woodworkers need to be proficient in seven essential skills: joint making, measuring and marking, sawing to a line, sharpening, using hand planes, making mortise-and-tenon joints, and wood finishing...Required reading for every woodworker, this is an essential purchase.”—Library Journal.

5 out of 5 stars Back to the Basics.......2007-01-10

This book was very good at explaining how to get back to the basics with simple hand tools. He describes how to sharpen blades to a razor sharp finish. He explains how to use your basic tools properly so as to use them as effieciently as possible. I really like this book.

4 out of 5 stars hand tool woodworking essentials.......2006-09-12

The 7 essential of woodworking are 1) Wood, Glue surface & joint making, 2) Measuring and marking wood, 3) Sawing to a line, 4) Sharpening tools, 5) Using Hand Planes, 6) Making Mortise and Tenons, 7) Wood Finishing.

Through out the book he advocates the use of wood tools to a point that on some occasions it is an obsession and therefore quite opinionated, such as using the bow saw ("... only 2% of woodworkers can use one..."). Some of his methods, such as how to find the center of a board by over measuring a greater distance then the know half amount, from each side and then splitting the distance between the two marks by eye and adjusting the amount and after 3 or more times you will be exact. That is tedious and there are far more easier and exact ways to determine the exact middle of the board quicker then this trial and error method. Being an teacher and he not using or mentioning these methods, made me a little skeptical to accept his suggestions at face value.

In the section labeled "Marking techniques for end planning", his instructions were very confusing and required a little analyzation.

On the section about sharpening chisels, the author points out that he has settled on Japanese water stones, but since they can be confusing to use, he explains how to use diamond stones and a leather strop. Not bad to know, but would have liked to know the best way too.

I found the book to be instructive, informative, because in areas it deviated from what the majority of other books I have read, advocating for using hand tools and methods in woodworking. I think some of his view points are more for an intermediate woodworker who has some experience to evaluate his point of view, than a novice or a beginner. Yet a novice or beginner can find value in the book.\

From a Novice point of view I rate it a 3 and from an intermediate point of view, I rate it a 4.

5 out of 5 stars The seven essentials of woodworking.......2005-05-21

I really enjoyed reading this book .It breaks down the basics of woodworking in to essential steps, that one can use to build up their woodworking skills. I wish I had read this book 26 years ago, when I went to maple ridge vocational school in B.C. Our teacher taught us to do most of the work with power tools,There was very little instruction on using hand tools properly. The focus was on power everything . When I taught woodworking classes in adult education. The focus again was on power tools. This book is a great introduction on the use of quality hand tools to start your woodworking carrer or hobby.

4 out of 5 stars Brings the Fundamentals into Focus.......2003-07-04

After trying to learn woodworking "the right way" over the past several months from the current crop of woodworking periodicals, best sellers, Web sites and older woodworking texts, I felt like I knew the lingo but still had no idea about some of the basics. My last shop class in school was 30 years ago, and making a gun rack back then was not the definitive education for quality woodworking. Reading The Seven Essentials has given me a good grasp of the fundamentals of woodworking and how they fit together. Thank you, Mr. Guidice.

This book is not a treatise; I read it (and reread parts) in an evening and was in the workshop practicing cutting to straight lines with my limited arsenal of hand tools the next day. Over 3 weeks I've read it maybe 3 or 4 times. Its brevity is key to its appeal--one man's methods for what works and how to develop the skills to get there. Oh yeah, he talked me into getting a bow saw in the process, too!

Unlike the Magazines and the Web, Guidice cuts to the chase and says this is what I do, this is what I teach, and this works. Sure, he's opinionated but he isn't afraid to let the reader know it. He wants his readers to be working with wood ASAP and not caught up in high tech machinery and debates on methodology; he wisely wants his readers to learn to walk before learning to run. We've probably all made things with butt joints and no glue, struggled with basics of marking, cutting, planing, and finishing, and wondered in bewilderment why it looks so easy in the magazines and with Norm and the NYW.

If you want a place to start your serious woodworking, a straightforward approach to know what to do and why, and some exercises to build your skills and confidence then this is the book. It's actually made all the other stuff (Web, magazines, etc) more relevant given the frame of reference Guidice teaches. Machines are great fun, but realizing that I didn't have to buy a planer and jointer to flatten and square a board was a relief.

What kept me from giving this a 5-star rating was Guidice's insistence on expensive planes (Lie-Nielsen, but in my dreams). The experience I've gained from resurrecting old Stanley wood planes was worth it, and I'll take issue with his position that it can't be done. My 90-year-old jack plane can take tissue paper thin shavings, my 40-year-old fore plane will hold its own as a poor man's scrub plane, and my grandfather's block planes from the '20's and '30's work like a charm when unpacked after 50 years. Tuning a plane is as fundamental as sharpening a saw or chisel, and these old planes provide big bangs for few bucks.

I'm finishing my workbench and organizing my basement workshop right now. I'd like to build a table as my first "real" furniture, and Guidice's book on building tables has climbed to the top of my list!

5 out of 5 stars Seven Essentials of Woodworking review.......2003-01-25

One of my recommended books for woodworking. The others being Ian Kirby's Dovetail book and Tage Frid's set of three woodworking books. All of these authors have opinions and are not afraid of stating them. All of them tell you how to get the job done with hand tools, practice, and perseverence. And that is the key with most things. Get the right tool, get a technique that works, and practice until you persevere. You don't need to argue about the subtleties of a dozen different methods, you don't have to collect old tools and restore them, you just have to cut and plane wood to get good at cutting and planing wood.

My biggest complaint is the book is not long enough. I wish Guidice had written similar chapters on a few other important aspects of woodworking. I also wish there was a bit more technique in the planing chapter and mortise and tenon section. I would have liked to have seen shoulder planes demonstrated. And spokeshaves. And maybe the use of a few other planes besides the scrub and jack and smoother. And the chopping of mortises with mortise chisels instead of drilling with a brace and paring the sides.

The truth of this book came to me as I was practicing my rip cuts with my new bow saw. It was the Putsch saw mentioned by Guidice, now sold by Woodcraft. The set on the blade is awful now so Guidice will have to rewrite that portion of his book. I followed the directions to pound the set out of the blade and reset it. Did it several times until I was no longer mystified by saw sharpening. If you do something enough you get good at it and comfortable with it. Finally made the blade follow a line and ripped some oak with it. I also tried ripping with a Stanley Shark tooth saw. The bow saw put the western style saw to shame. I have a super slow cutting Japanese saw too.

Guidice also says to get a good plane (Lie-Nielsen is his recommendation) and plane wood with it. He says you will learn more about planing wood with a quality plane for a year than reading 10,000 magazine articles. Or engaging in 10,000 internet discussions I might add. Hard to argue with that fundamental advice.

If you really want to learn how to be a competent woodworker, follow the instructions in this book. Buy a few good tools and use them to work wood. Practice the fundamentals. Planing and sawing.

If your woodworking goal is to collect tools, argue about tools, polish, file and sand old tools, and argue about which technique to use to accomplish a task, then this book is not for you.

3 out of 5 stars HMMMMMM.......2007-05-13

I thought this book would give me resources to purchasing seeds to grow. It just tells you how to grow them. If you are a gardener you dont need this book.

4 out of 5 stars Great info on herbs.......2007-04-19

The first section on growing hops is decent, but it's nothing you can't find online.

But the section on herbs is great. Not only does it give a list of brewing herbs but, more importantly, how much to use and how. I've researched gruits and know what types of herbs were used, but I never knew how much to add.

There's also a section on grain. While I'd like to grow some grain, I'm not keen on malting. I may stick with unmalted wheat as that seems the easiest. Rye and Oats would have been nice, but they strongly advise against malting those items.

Overall, a good book- mainly if you have the land and time to grow your own ingredients. With the large amounts and quantities I brew, it doesn't make sense for me to go this route. Especially when I can get grain delivered for about 30 cents a pound.

5 out of 5 stars An Indispensable Guide for Homebrewers of All Levels of Experience.......2006-05-23

The Homebrewer's Garden is an expertly written guide which will teach you how to take your homebrewing to a whole new level. Whether you are a newcomer to the hobby or a seasoned veteran brewer, Homebrewer's Garden will be a book that you'll go back to again and again. The book repeats little if any information found in a homebrewing primer, so advance knowledge of the brewing process and terminology will be helpful. However, little (if any) experience is needed in actual brewing to take advantage of this book.

The book is broken up into four main sections. The first teaches you everything you need to know about how to grow your own hops, the differences between the varieties, and how to use them. Included in this section are instructions that will take you from planting your first hops plants to drying and storing your hops with your home-built oast, or hops dryer.

The second section is a comprehensive list of herbs that can be used in brewing. This section includes information on which varieties to use, how to grow them, which parts of the plant to use, when to add them, how much to use, and expected resulting flavors and aromas. Also includes a section on herbs that are poisonous or should otherwise not be used.

The third section covers growing, harvesting, malting, and using your own grains. There's far more than just barley covered in this section! Also covered are amaranth, corn, oat, quinoa, rye, sorghum, spelt, and wheat. Each grain has a breakdown of different varieties and how to grow and use them.

The fourth section is the obligatory recipes section. Many traditional herbal beers are here, as well as some more innovative beverages that I'd never heard of--Gotlandsdrika, anyone? Where applicable, both extract and all-grain recipes are listed.

Even if you never expect to grow your own hops, grains, or herbs, The Homebrewer's Garden will make you a better brewer. Also recommended is the book Clone Brews, which feature recipes adapted from popular beers of different styles from around the world.

5 out of 5 stars Inspirational Book.......2004-09-15

I hadn't tried making home made beer or wine in years - this book rekindled the interest (plus emigrating from the UK to the US, where the beers, to put it nicely, are fairly bland -although local micro breweries are helping to address this).

I am also a very keen herb gardener, and learnt alot from the plant descriptions that have some great suggestions for additives. I planted some hop runners, but my back yard is too small for a decent crop.

The cautions in the book are important - it is best not to take a chance with some plants. I have some old recipes that will result in the production of wood alcohol, if followed to the letter (e.g. potato - fermented for wine, distilled into Poteen and some ciders will make you understand the term blind drunk. OK, they aren't the herbs in the book, but the old ways aren't always the best). That said, I'm all in favor of experimentation - nettle is a great additive.

Excellent interesting book.

4 out of 5 stars A good book on herb growing and malting.......2003-06-28

A good book with lots of information and some history. Some very interesting recipes and information on how to grow and use herbs and spices and malt and roast your own grain. Unfortunately this book unnecessarily errs on the side of caution regarding some of the more potent and historically used brewing herbs that make great additions to a brewers herbal repertoire. This book also unfortunately has few recipes without the addition of hops which can make for an even more unique brewing experience. If your looking to grow and use herbs and hops, and to malt and use unusual grains this book can definitely point you in the right direction.

    When searching Google for vegetables that grow in alkaline soil, Amazon came up with this book. So I purchased it, it was a big disappointment. Firstly, it was from England, and there was just one small paragraph in the whole book about alkaline soils. I have learned alot through this purchase.

    5 out of 5 stars My new veggie bedside book.......2005-08-21

    I found the book really easy to read and to consult on the different vegetbles. It really covers everything, I particularly loved the section on making compost like 'Black Jack' Liquid Manure. Great ideas everyone can use, like using nettles and comfrey for manure. The book is so detailed but yet not over the top. It tells you how to plant then manage the veg then harvesting. For me it is the only book I will need to grow my own veg. Thank you Joy Larkcom

                  Book Description

                  Not so long ago, people thought attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder was a condition that only affected children-- whirling dervishes who careened through life leaving a path of destruction in their wake. We now know, however, that there is a sizeable group of quiet daydreamers whose inability to organize themselves and focus on the task at hand makes it impossible for them to meet the demands of everyday life. And we know that many children with ADHD continue to have symptoms as adults. But this increased knowledge has sometimes contributed more confusion than clarification.



                  In Daredevils and Daydreamers, Ingersoll--one of the foremost clinicians and researchers in the field--looks at what we've learned in a decade. From obtaining a good diagnosis through the most recent, cutting edge medical and psychological solutions offered, Ingersoll's examples and research have an immediacy missing from the other books in the field. In addition, she tackles a number of peripheral issues other books ignore such as the problem of the ADHD child in adoptive families, divorced families and step-families, and she handles "real-world" issues (like soiling and bed-wetting) that others disregard.

                  As grandparents that did not know the first thing about ADD, this book has helped us to understand our Grandson and also helped us to understand what our daughter as a single parent has been going through for the last 5 years. The chapter on what the School Systems SHOULD do was very inlightning. We now have a guide to use in talking to Doctors,Teachers and other family members.

                  4 out of 5 stars Great Insights!!.......1999-01-22

                  I really enjoyed Dr. Ingersoll's book. As an educator who worked primarily in Spec. Ed and encountered ADHD/ADD kids in the regular and special ed classroom settings and a parent of an 11 yr. old with ADD, I particularly appreciated her expanding the very clinical statements of the DSM-IV into very human recognizable examples. As a professional educator and a parent this book worked for me; it was interesting to look at how much our knowledge of ADD and related disorders has grown over the past decade.

                  5 out of 5 stars Excellent.......1998-06-01

                  Whether this is the first book you will read on ADHD or the hundredth, you will want to own this book. It is an excellent resource you will want to refer to often and share with others. What I like about all of Dr. Ingersoll's books is that they are so easy and enjoyable to read, yet so jam-packed with valuable information.

                  This comprehensive work includes information from her other books, yet is in no way a "rewrite." It contains almost 200 citations of cutting-edge research -- many of which I have circled for future reading.

                  Each chapter begins with a "Then and Now" section to show how far we have come in our understanding of ADHD in the past decade and where we are headed. The book defines ADHD and related learning, emotional and behavioral disorders which so often coexist with it, and discusses how to obtain a comprehensive evaluation. The chapter devoted to medical management makes it clear that medication is recognized as the first line of treatment, and often the only intervention necessary to treat individuals afflicted with ADHD. But, since many people require a multimodal treatment, Dr. Ingersoll also provides a comprehensive discussion of psychotherapy and training approaches, and the treatment of associated problems such as lying, stealing, social interactions, etc. I especially liked her chapters "Bless this House: Holding it Together on the Homefront" and "School Days, School Daze." While the book is geared toward helping children, it presents a wealth of valuable information for adults with ADHD as well.
