Cutting up good time.......2007-01-09
Many great projects to get your creative juices going. Photography was
excellant; was able to enjoy beauty of pieces but not too artsy to interfer with point of the book. I've now found a new textile art to add to my passion.
Glue Anything.......2006-11-11
I saw the author Marion McEnvoy on an Oprah episode and thought this woman was amazingly creative with her simple glue gun tool. Most arts and crafts books have very traditional projects, so I never buy them. This one is not. The glue gun projects finish to look like something that you would find in Elle Decor. I just wish the book had more ideas because it's limited with projects; but for the price, it's good for inspiration.
Not what I expected.......2006-08-23
The decor used in this book looks like the 70's era. It's too outdated for me. I was expecting more.
Glue Gun to the Rescue.......2005-11-13
I have so many ideas I've wanted to try, but felt stymied by the sewing part. Now Marian McEvoy's book shows that a glue gun can work on furniture, curtains and other home projects. Glue guns are not just for crafts anymore.
There are holiday ideas too in the book.

Great Ideas for Re-decorating with what you already have.......2005-10-08
I recently needed to repair a library chair that my cat has made a nasty scratch on. I was going to have the chair professionally reupholstered until I saw Marian McEvoy on The Oprah Winfrey Show. When I saw what she was doing with a glue gun and how she decorated her gorgeous home with one, it gave me an idea that I could fix my precious chair with a glue gun and some fabric. I ordered her book and was delighted to see that it was filled with projects that not only taught me how to cheaply make my chair look like new again, but also gave me inspiration to make my curtains look new, redo my old throw pillows and dress up my lampshades.
If you like to redecorate often, this is a must-have book because it's all about redoing what you already have or how to buy affordable objects and room accessories and make them look unique and expensive.

Jeff's review.......2007-04-03
The cover gives 14 color examples. The 78 pages are packed with
an average of 8 black and white outlines to a page.
This is a lot of ideas but would be challenging to enlarge for
pattern making. A limited range of symetric styles are divided
into four groups.
Design by eras/styles.......2007-01-10
This book is not my cup of tea, but it's great for someone who's looking for a design from a certain era. The book is broken down by the different eras or styles: Victorian Geometric, Art Nouveau, Victorian Floral, Edwardian, and 1920's. All the designs have a lot of horizontal and vertical lines in them. Also, it's all in black and white so you have to use your imagination to color it. The back of the front cover and back cover has examples in color.
Stained Glass Designs from Dover.......2006-08-08
This is an excellent resource book for stained glass artisans. It has a variety of styles and eras in easy to duplicate drawings. Projects range from easy to intricate, designs (in some instances) can be mixed and matched.
Dover has a good selection of stained glass books which provide wonderful references to many and varied types of stained glass design.
Helpful!.......2006-07-21
I've been looking for ideas for simple patterns; this book helped me a lot!
Great book and great ideas.......2006-07-06
This book is great for traditional patterns, specially for the ones from Great Bretain. It shows different types of patterns depending on the period of influence, like Edwardian, Art Deco and others. I wished the patterns showed some color!!!!
Book Description
On the planet of Elsewhere, the Council had always enforced the governing of each province in the manner the people had chosen, so long as each respected its neighbors' local customs--and so long as the people remained within their homelands. Generations later, inhabitants have begun to question this tradition. The Council has received mysterious messages and reports of strange manifestations across the planet. Now, Enforcer Fringe Owldark has been sent with a small crew of seven, each possessing an unusual talent, to investigate their worst fear--the arrival of the Hobbs Land gods. Free will and the reality of God are just too of the timeless issues this courageous band of humans must confront as they strive to decide if complete tolerance and leaving others alone is evil. . .and what they should do if it is. Vividly imagined and exquisitely rendered, Sideshow is Sheri S. Tepper's most controversial novel yet.
Customer Reviews:
A MUDDLED MESS.......2005-11-24
I REALLY WANTED TO LIKE THIS BOOK. I LOVED ALL OF THE OTHER TEPPER BOOKS THAT I HAVE READ. UNFORTUNATELY, I HAD TROUBLE FOLLOWING THE PLOT TO THIS ONE. I WAS SO CONFUSED THAT I HAD TO START OVER HALFWAY THRU. BELIEVE ME IT WAS NO MORE PLAIN THE SECOND TIME AROUND. THE ONE THING THAT REALLY STANDS OUT IN MY MIND IS THE CENTRAL THEME. IT IS TRULY AN UNIVERSAL QUESTION: WHY ARE WE HERE?
A *very* good book.......2004-06-13
I do not often write reviews here but this time I simply had to share. I had never heard of Sheri S. Tepper before reading this book so I started reading it without any pre-conceived notions of what to expect but already from the first page I was convinced that it was a great book - and all the rest of the book, every page of it, was just as good as the first one!
The book has just the right mix of mystery, a good action-laden plot and loads of interesting philosophical questsions all mixed together into a convincing and enjoyable package.
The plot of the book has already been described by others on this page. I'll just say that I think that the Great Question (what is the ultimate destiny of man?) is something that we DO need to answer.
Plot-heavy but fascinating.......2002-11-03
This was my introduction to Sheri Tepper and, while I didn't understand all the references to the previous happenings in this trilogy, I couldn't tear myself away. I liked the characters a lot, I loved the world (altho it is a little similar to one of Jack Chalker's series), and I thought the overall plot was good. If you like plot-driven books (as most SF books are), you probably will enjoy this one. Plus, the sheer variety in this world is fascinating. I would probably recommend that you start off with Grass, tho it didn't hurt me to do it backwards. This book will always have a place in my heart since it introduced me to a great SF writer.
Brilliant.......2002-02-23
I enjoy science fiction, especially science fiction by women. Sheri Tepper is one of the best sci-fi writers in the world and this is her best book. She creates great stories that also have relevance for life on earth today. Don't miss this one.
Wonderful!.......2001-10-25
I loved this book because of its intricate detail and the way it deals with the problems of humanity. I absolutely could not put it down. I want to run to the library now and check out everything written by her.
Book Description
The Last Sideshow is a wonderful chronicle of an American community of traveling circus performers. As a contributor to Vogue, GQ and Elle, Hanspeter Schneider's professional life has focused on the artifice of beauty. In his new book he challenges popular assumptions and captures beauty with charm and understanding, in perhaps the most unusual of places. The portraits have humor, dignity and vivacity but above all they are a fascinating account of a disappearing community.

AS SEEN BY THE CZAR.......2005-02-20
ALTHOUGH I WAS PHOTOGRAPHED BY SCHNEIDER SOME YEARS BACK, I'D NEVER SEEN THE BOOK UNTIL THIS WEEK WHEN I SIGNED A COPY AT THE FLORIDA STATE FAIR. I'M NOT BUYING BECAUSE I'M IN IT, I'M BUYING IT BECAUSE IT'S IN A CLASS OF ITS OWN---ABSOLUTELY MAGNIFICANT ! CERTAINLY COMPARABLE TO RANDAL
LEVINSON'S "IN SEARCH OF THE MONKEY GIRL" AND THE NUMEROUS STUDIES
DONE ON SIDESHOW PERFORMERS BY DIANE ARBUS. EACH PAGE EVOKES A VARIETY
OF EMOTIONS THAT WILL ENGRAVE THEMSELVES IN YOUR MIND !

Revenge of Chronos.......2000-04-05
I've read all of the Guyver graphic novels from volume one and I must say that it is by the far the greatest manga series out there. Revenge of Chronos is no exception. the story is about Sho Fukamachi who comes into contact with the Guyver which is a symbiote being created by an ancient alien people who created several organisms while on earth thousands of years ago. The end result of their research was...Well I wont spoil it for ya so read the series and find out for yourself! Now Sho must fight to protect the life of his girl friend and her brother from Chronos the enigmatic corporation who lost the Guyver unit in the first place. Too make things hotter Chronos have been tampering with the alien research and as a result created an empire of shape-shifting beasts known as Zoanoids! On his journey Sho will meet Agito Makashima another Guyver and a dark mysterious stranger named Murakami... an utter must to read!
