        5 out of 5 stars Makes a GREAT gift!.......2007-10-04

        I gave this journal to my brother for his birthday and he loved it! I looked through it and liked it so much I bought one for myself. Perfect for any book lover. I have always wanted to keep track of books I've read, heard about, or loaned out. This is the perfect tool to do just that!

        5 out of 5 stars Keep track of your books.......2007-01-16

        I bought a copy of A Book Lover's Diary several years ago in Colonial Williamsburg. I recently bought a copy for my sister. Not only do I record all books I have purchased but list books I have heard about and would like to remember to read. I enjoy looking back at all that I have read.

        2 out of 5 stars Not what expected at all.......2006-08-22

        I bought this book as a gift for a friend based on the great categories it has to offer for recording book information. I was so disappointed to find that the spaces allowed for writing are so small. Also, the book is hard to navigate. The hard cover and hard binding don't allow for anyone to write it in it (inflexible). I gave it as a gift still, but I had to apologize for what a cruddy book it was.

        5 out of 5 stars A Book Addicts Best Friend........2005-08-19

        I purchased A Book Lover's Diary a few months back, and I am so glad I did. It is the perfect addition to my growing library!

        A Book Lover's Diary is a small hardcover book that has lots of room for the various lists, that are essential to book collecting. Books you want, books you have read, favorite books, etc. It even has space to add if you have lent your books out and to whom so you can keep track of who is borrowing them. I think that is a great feature.

        But, what I believe is the best feature is that is is small enough to put in my purse when I go out. I don't know how many times I have gone to the book store and forgotten what books I want to read, due to the fact that there are so many. With A Book Lover's Diary with me, I have it all down on paper! Which makes my book hunting that much more simple!

        I would buy this book again in a heartbeat, and whole-heartedly recommend it for any book lovers out there!

        5 out of 5 stars A Book Lover's Diary.......2005-08-14

        This diary offers many different ways for you to record books that you love. You can build a list of books you really want to read or buy. This list can go by author, title, or subject. You can build a list of books you have read by author, title, or subject that you have read and write a small review. This diary is a compliment to the two books Book Lust and More Book Lust. Great for adults as well as for the older elementary age child up through college. Have fun recording all you read as well as what you want to read or buy in the future.

        2 out of 5 stars Disappointment.......2007-01-23

        This is a blurb-ridden substitute for the old version of Book Lover's Page-A-Day calendar. In the old days, 2004, you actually got summaries and critical analysis of the books reviewed. In this latest version you get nothing but superficial quotes from USA Today, People Magazine and Entertainment Weekly. The previous calendars gave you reasons to seek out the books they reviewed. The drivel in this year's calendar has created a negative reaction to both the books and authors. We miss the fun of starting the day with a new discovery.

        5 out of 5 stars Book Lovers will love The Book Lover's Calendar.......2007-01-18

        The Book Lover's Calendar is more than a page-a-day. It introduces avid readers to authors and titles they might never come across in the bookstore or library. I pass the pages along to friends if I think the topic is one they are interested in. I tuck the pages in my purse for my next trip to the bookstore. I write my name on a page and hand it to the librarian at the local library. If the book isn't on their shelves, she can order it for me. The page has all the information she needs. The blank sides make great paper for notes and reminders. What is there not to like about The Book Lover's Calendar?

        5 out of 5 stars Book-Lover's Calendar Lover........2007-01-12

        Have been "reading" this calendar for years, and have read several of the titles recommended through it. There's no time like this present.

        5 out of 5 stars Always a winner.......2007-01-10

        This calendar is a must have each year for several members of my family. The variety of books presented and the succinct description of each make it a valuable resource for future reads and for gift ideas, both for yourself and for others. It is also enjoyable to come upon titles I have already read and to see what the editors have to say about them. I highly recommend this calendar for anyone even slightly interested in books.

        5 out of 5 stars My must-have calendar.......2007-01-09

        I have used the Book Lover's Page-a-Day Calendar for ten years. I love the recommendations and keep a stack of the pages handy for when I visit the bookstore or a library. The reviews are not snobbish--you can find thoughtful, enthusiastic summaries for everything from romance novels to histories of science.

          5 out of 5 stars perfect wine journal.......2007-08-23

          I got this for my mom beacuse she was always forgetting which wines she liked. This journal was just what she needed. It has wine info in the front pages- the shapes of bottles, the different countries and other stuff. And then it has MANY pages for pasting lables and writing your notes on the wine.

          4 out of 5 stars great purchase for a budding wine connoisseur.......2007-05-12

          I'm having a lot fun filling the pages of my Wine Lover's Journal. It is a great place to enter my comments on the different wines I've been enjoying and to help me remember what I'd like to buy again!

          4 out of 5 stars good book.......2007-01-16

          I would say that, sure this is a good book to buy. We haven't used it yet, because it didn't come with a wine label remover, which is the only thing I would suggest changing. Make it a package deal with whatever the product is to remove labels. Have fun drinking your wine and filling up the book!

          5 out of 5 stars Great Thank you Gift.......2007-01-10

          I've purchased these books as thank yous for various clients and have always gotten a positive response. Good way to allow people to remember that bottle that they tried!

          5 out of 5 stars Like it.......2005-10-28

          This journal is good for the home bound wine lover, it has a place to paste the wine label,(if you can get it off)but it is big. I like that you can choose to put weather it is red or white because red is favored in our household so the other journal's pages would have gone to waste. It has some usefull info inside too. I like it a lot, but it is not one you would take to a restaurant or tasting, it is just a lil too bulky for that.

                    4 out of 5 stars Lowden on Byzantine MSS of the OT Prophets.......2000-04-25

                    Besides the 128 pages of text, the volume contains over 100 pages of very nice black and white (eight in color) facsimiles of the manuscripts discussed, the photos are on glossy paper and of excellent quality.

                    Lowden dispalys a fine acumen here in presenting these manuscripts to the reader. The main text focuses on about seven Illuminated Greek Prophet books. Additionally he comments upon and shows images of about 20 others.

                    This group of MSS, "Byzantine Illuminated Prophet Books" form a small but homogeneous group. None are dated, but all are a product of the Byzantine scriptoriums and scribes.

                    Lowden cogently discusses the relevant iconography of each MS, and reveals many interesting features. Lowden focuses upon the visual artwork much more so than he does upon the scripts. As a palaeographer, I do wish that he had spent more time with analysis of the scripts, and perhaps more "textual criticism" of the actual written contents.

                    This is a fine reference work displaying scribal and illuminator talents of the (circa) 10th century in or around the Byzantine empire, with a focus upon the art (illuminations and miniatures) aspects and relationships.

                    The volume is well made, sturdy and is smyth sewn. The type is clear and properly leaded for ease of reading.

                    It has an index, and a catalogue of the MSS (with ruling charts). It has good footnotes and fine bibliographic data. Recommended for study of: Byzantine Book Illumination, 10th century scribal practices, and for general information on the Biblical texts of this group of MSS. Lowden's penetrationg analyses are very educational and he is a good writer.
