The history of the Limoges porcelain industry begins the book, followed by the histories, marks, and examples of the major factories, unidentified Limoges companies, and even miniatures. An index and cross reference to companies, initials, and symbols, are provided.

A Hit as a Gift.......2007-05-07
Purchased this book as a gift for my wife, who has some Limoges dinnerware. She loved the book and has been able to identify much of her collection with its help.
The Collector's Encyclopedia of Limoges Porcelain.......2007-02-08
If you collect Limoges Porcelain this is an excellent reference book, with a large section on marks and their dates. The colour pictures identify many patterns, along with a detailed section on manufacturers and a history of Limoges porcelain.
Do not recommend.......2006-08-14
I purchase books online based on the reviews so lets be honest. Debby DuBay's book Antique Limoges at Home is the book to purchase. Gaston's book has terrible photographs & just can not compare to DuBay's books.
Gaston and Dubay my favorite authors have collaborated........2004-04-27
Mary Frank Gaston wrote the foreword to Debby Dubay's Antique Limoges at Home and the introduction to Collecting Hand Painted Limoges Porcelain and I'm thrilled. Two experts collaborating to give collectors all of the info they require to collect successfully. Please write a book together.
Thanks to Gaston found Dubay's Collecting Hand Painted Limog.......2004-04-16
Gaston recommends Debby Dubay's trilogy: Collecting Hand Painted Limoges Porcelain Boxes to Vases and Antique Limoges at Home. She wrote the intro for Collecting Hand Painted Limoges Porcelain and the foreword for Antique Limoges at Home. She calls Dubay's shop a porcelain's paradise - and she was right. Thank you Ms Gaston for supporting author Debby Dubay!

Scrapmania at its best.......2000-03-14
35 patterns, mostly pieced.There is something for everyone in this book. Top 3 patterns: 1) Sparks : July : easy but incredibly vibrant colors 2) Dizzy Geese: or how to give the impression of a circle with straight lines 3) Star Quilt : I'm actually working on a very similar quilt at the moment - and I thought I was original !

Chances are, you've heard about Internet dating from a friend, or an online banner ad has caught your eye. If you've given online dating a passing consideration, you may have some fears from all those graphic horror stories that jar your senses – and your sensibilities.

Easy and Good, but NOT ALL ANSWERS!!!.......2007-08-09
I liked this book, but it isn't a book of answers. However, if you are a newbie to online dating, it helps a lot to read this book.
Most online daters have no clue what they are doing. The successful ones that you see on TV (doing eharmony commercials) are the lucky ones. That's why this book helps. It first gives you the low down on online dating and why it is completely different from real world dating. Since it is so different, everyone needs to take a different approach to it. Surprisingly, not everyone does.
How many times have you winked at someone and not recieved a response? How many profiles have you read that say, "I don't know what to write?" How many emails have you sent out that just didn't work?
Well, this book explains why these things happen in online dating.
However, it isn't a book of answers. It won't tell you what the perfect profile is, but will give you hints on how to write one. It won't tell you what the best picture is, but it will tell you not to post the same one twice. Treat it as a guide and you will be fine. Treat it as "the way" and you're in trouble.
For me, I was very excited to try online dating and would go online everyday to find new connections. After reading this book, I realized online dating is not a quick and easy way to find the love of my life (like eharmony advertises), but it is more of a long haul and it requires more work than I thought. This book really helped me realize that I needed to work at online dating much like real world dating.
Fantastic Guide.......2006-08-13
I couldnt put the book down, there is some fantastic insights into improving your success in online dating. great book
For People Uncomfortable with Computers?.......2005-11-23
Most of what this book says is either common sense or easy to find out by using an online dating service. They sound uncomfortable enough with computers that they seem to expect readers to prefer reading a generic description on paper to reading the online descriptions that the dating services provide.
Their idea of backing up email is to print it out.
They say on page 183 that meeting in person gives away your anonymity completely, then on page 237 they describe how to meet in person anonymously. That is fairly typical about how carefully they write.
Instead of this, I recommend buying Katz's I Can't Believe I'm Buying This Book.
Why you should buy this book..........2005-11-12
The "xxxx for dummies" always does a good job on breaking down the "hard-to-grasp" concepts and makes it easy for people to understand the complexities that can be involved. The dating scene can be tricky these days and Online Dating for Dummies did a great job. Look for some humor to keep you floating through chapters. [...]
PURE UP-TO-DATE INFORMATION & MORE!.......2004-02-11
As a fellow relationship/dating author and advisor, I'm always looking for new information on this dynamic field. I was eagerly awaiting the arrival of this book because of the thorough nature and quality of the "Dummies" series. After a complete reading of this book where I took a lot of notes, I must say that it does an outstanding job of covering online dating and other related topics.
You get a certain type of quality when you buy a "Dummies" book. I didn't expect this one to be a great literary read or even one that I'd call "entertaining" (except for the hilarious cartoons in the beginning of each chapter). This book is simply stuffed with practical information and helpful tips. I do a lot of research on "Online Dating" issues and this is the best single source that I've found. If you ever come across any of my advice anywhere, you can bet that it won't be out of alignment with what is in this great resource.
This is a book that every man or woman who chooses to play the "online dating game" to win (find a good love partner) should have in their personal library. It's really that good.

If you think dating is a simple process--meet someone, ask him or her for a date or get asked out yourself, try not to come off as a drooling moron, then arrange to get together for a second date or cut your losses and work to meet someone else--well, lucky you. For many people, it's far more complicated than that, and Dr. Joy Browne addresses those complexities in Dating for Dummies. Exactly how do you meet a potential date? How do you present yourself in the most favorable light? How do you negotiate that first date? (One interesting story Browne tells is of a couple who negotiated a weekend together, deciding whether or not they'd have sex, and under what conditions they'd consider marriage and children--all before their first date.) And how do you proceed from there? The process still comes down to chemistry, but Browne shows how many ways there are to make sure you get your best possible chance with Mr./Ms. Right.
Book Description
If you’re looking for a fun Saturday night date or a happily-ever-after mate, this is the guide for you. Whether you’re young and haven’t dated much or older and have been out of circulation so long you’ve forgotten how to flirt, dating can be intimidating. Author Dr. Joy Browne, America’s favorite psychologist, demystifies the whole dating process, from getting a date, plotting the place, and having a great time (or dealing with dud dates) to moving beyond a first date, playing it safe, and how sex can impact a budding relationship.
In this new edition, Dr. Joy offers updated guidance on how to find a date, covering "speed dating," Internet dating services, and singles nights at grocery stores and other unexpected places. She delivers fresh pointers on a whole host of topics, including:
- Building your confidence and polishing your social self
- Determining if you’re really ready to date
- How to meet and approach Mr. or Ms. Intriguing
- Where to go, what to do, what to wear, and what to avoid on the first date
- Taboo subjects, such as your ex, sex, politics, and religion
- Cell phone and e-mail etiquette
- Moving from dating to a successful relationship and the four stages of attachment
- Breaking up (just in case Mr. or Ms. Right wasn’t) and avoiding pity parties and pitfalls
- The dos and don’ts of Internet dating
Dr. Joy Browne’s nationally syndicated daily radio show is the longest running program of its kind. Dr. Joy has won numerous awards for her work including the American Psychological Associations President’s Award and the Talkers Magazine award for Best Female Talk Show Host (two years in a row). She was #10 on the list of the 25 Greatest Radio Talk Show Hosts of All Time, and has been named one of the 100 Most Influential Talk Show Hosts nine times. Dr. Joy can frequently be seen on television as a guest on shows such as CBS’ The Early Show, Oprah Winfrey and Larry King Live. Dr. Joy has authored: It’s A Jungle Out There Jane, Dating for Dummies, The Nine Fantasies That Will Ruin Your Life, and Getting Unstuck.
Dating For Dummies, 2nd Edition includes advice for special dating situations such as long-distance relationships, office romances, single parents, senior citizens, and more.

Packed with real-world wisdom, confidence boosters, and a dash of humor, this is the guide to help you get out of exile, get into dating, and perhaps even get into a meaningful relationship.

Dating Tips for Dummies.......2007-08-16
This book is very comprehensive just like the other books in the `dummy' series. The book consists of 8 parts with several chapters in each part. The first 7 parts go through all the essential for a person to get started on their dating. The last part is more a collection of common sense dating tips listed in groups of 10, such as 10 tips on do's and don't of dating and 10 ways to know your in love etc.
When I first approached this book I thought it would be a collection of facts and pointers without much explanations. Kind of like a cross between a dictionary and an encyclopedia. I was pleasantly surprised to see that this book really does start from the beginning. If begins by analyzing the dating scene to help the prospective dater know what to expect.
Next it starts at the most important place for anyone to start. Self-confidence. Without self-confidence your dating is doomed to failure.
The author, Dr. Joy Browne, realizes this and presents confidence building exercises and knowledge to differentiate between real and false confidence. Next, you learn how you can improve your `social self' , getting into the right frame of mind to meet people and have fun.
Chapter 4 takes this exploration deeper, helping you take a look at some basic psychology. This will help you avoid self-sabotage later when you are dating or trying to build a relationships. The next 3 chapters (5-7) focus on the mechanics of dating, from approaching to setting up a date to acting appropriately on a date.
This book is very comprehensive in the quantity and scope of the dating tips it contains. If you are having trouble getting started with dating then this book is a great place to start. You will learn the basics for long-term success in dating and relationships as well as useful dating tips to get you out and socializing.
Best Dating Book I've read.......2007-07-27
This book is awesome!! Frank and detailed advice on how to date--from where to go for the first meeting, the second date, etc. How to be clear if the person is not for you, warning signs, etc. Will save you lots of time in regard to the common mistakes and thinks of things that I wouldn't necessarily consider on my own.
Goes into great detail but is clear-headed and realistic. I recommend it to my friends, clients and anyone wanting to date or currently dating.
A waste of time.......2007-07-25
Book was too long. Too much information and advise was very outdated! Seemed like she was living in the 50's or something. Some very basic things were questioned. I was confused after reading half the book.
Off the chart waste of time........2007-02-15
Full of contradictions and recitations of conventional wisdom. Her "You cannot date if you are separated" rule that is her mantra throughout the book is contradicted in her "rebound" chapter where she says: "I think formulas are a bit rigid here".... Come on, NO dating within one year of the divorce????? Life is short- our hair is falling out andor turning gray, our brain cells dying and our skin shriveling. Date when you want to date- wait maybe one day, one year, one decade, it's up to the indivdual, not some pop doc.
The "never" and "don't" lists are either inherently obvious or are horrible attempts at some humor.
Abandoned Guy.......2006-08-17
Hey!, my wife left me 2 years ago, I've been through therapy and taking prozac, my therapist says it's ok to date women, even If I'm still married, but Dr. Joyce says you MUST NOT???, come on!, she has no clue about my life and my feelings, she has no right to come and tell me good from evil, bad from wrong, she's not my mother!. Besides that, I like her advice on the reason for approaching someone, get in mind all you want is to get to know the person and see if you both get along, don't think further than that objective. Some useful tips, but some seem too needy and nice for a guy!, the moment you let a woman know you are interested, the moment she losts interest in you!, I've experience on that, believe me.
