2 out of 5 stars Done by a decorator........2007-06-13

Photos of over decorated sterile rooms. Source list is only decorators. Not helpful to the average person who does his/her own designing. Much better books available with the "real secrets".

1 out of 5 stars Secrets of French Design.......2006-07-03

Great coffee table book; A quick read for decorators who are new to French design.

1 out of 5 stars Secrets of French Design.......2005-06-04

I didn't care for the book. Not enough pictures. More for the advanced decorator who wants the fine details in writing rather than pictures. I'm more of a 'visual' person rather than literal so I need pictures. You may find it 'just what you need". Not for me.

5 out of 5 stars The je ne sais quois of French Design.......2005-01-14

Blue - once believed to keep all manner of misfortune away - lands in a wave of favorite shades, from the sapphire blue that bathes the sweeping coastline to the sky blue in the cloudless countryside to the violet blue of lavender beds faded by the sun. ~Betty Lou Phillips

Betty Lou Phillips is a best-selling author and her books are a celebration of French design secrets. In her new "Secrets of French Design," she shows you how to furnish a chateau, a manor or an apartment. Each picture has a feeling of indescribable comfort and luxury. As the secrets are revealed, Betty Lou Phillips discusses the power of color, texture, window treatments, art, fine dining, bed culture and personal touches.

I have rarely seen such a beautiful array of sumptuous sentences as in Betty Lou Phillips' books. She has an artist's eye and is an artist with words. She reveals the secret of color and how it can elevate ceilings or cause a room to shrink in size.

There is more writing in this book and more ideas to jot down for future decorating. There are some unique ideas for kitchen design and some beautiful ideas for displaying photographs.

Since I'm always interested in redecorating my bedroom, the chapters on La Chambre were of great interest and there is even information on why beds are a symbol of wealth. Please don't ever make me live without a down comforter or two. The picture of a bedroom with a fireplace looks ideal.

If you enjoy this book, also look for Emily Goes Wild, her award-winning children's book. I also loved Villa Décor and Unmistakably French.

I brought a copy of this book a few years ago and have enjoyed many hours of quiet contemplation. I am transported to the Vieux Carre in an instant. Layers upon layers of visual details are revealed to you. The secrets of this hidden world are yours to uncover over and over again.

5 out of 5 stars This is a magical book that needs to be re-issued.......1999-09-21

I bought this book some years ago and use it as a vacation-in-an-easychair escape to New Orleans. It is a treasure, written by a New Orleans insider who had access to the most wonderful gardens. I hope that it will be reprinted soon, so that I can buy it and send it to a dear friend I was telling about it.

5 out of 5 stars I should have goten it when I could have........1997-06-13

I was in New Orleans recently and fell in love with the courtyard gardens that were hidden away beyond thick stone and brick walls. You could see these beautiful green, quiet oasis in contrast to the loud and sometimes bawdiness of the streets of the French Quarter, behind wrought iron fences, tucked away, for just a few to see and enjoy. I went to several bookstores in New Orleans, asking if there was a book on courtyard gardens of the French Quarter. I finally found one, The Secret Garden of the Vieux Carre. It was a beautiful book, with photographs that depicted the character of the gardens in a way that words could not. It was large and heavy and I did not have any room in my bags for another purchase. I thought, no problem, when I return home to California, I will find the book or order it. It is out of print! This could be worth a return trip to New Orleans in the very near future. I highly recommended this book.

Book Description

A Well-Kept Home re-creates the natural rhythms used by earlier generations to manage their homes, offering a wide range of practical advice with over 120 traditional recipes and tips that are still highly appropriate in a modern setting.

The frantic quality of modern life and our increasing reliance on technology and on manufactured goods to ensure the smooth running of our homes has submerged our awareness of the inherited and seasonal patterns of effective domestic household management. A Well-Kept Home revives the more natural methods used by our forebears to run their homes, reflecting on the traditional way that earlier generations cooked, cleaned, decorated, groomed and gardened.

In this exquisitely illustrated book, Laura Fronty draws on her own grandmother's life experiences in the home and the garden, providing helpful tips and natural solutions for effective food preparation, cleaning methods for clothes and the interior, restorative beauty treatments and basic approaches to gardening. She emphasises the satisfaction gained from even the most mundane of tasks and offers indispensable tips for activities that cover a variety of domestic themes. They range from making bitter orange marmalade or instant shortcrust pastry, lighting a wood fire, treating wooden floors with wax, protecting clothes from mothballs, mixing ivy water for cleaning delicate fabrics, pruning rose bushes, to preparing lily oil as a face moisturiser.

A Well-Kept Home transforms our approach to the daily chores surrounding the upkeep of our home. The practical advice and natural recipes make it possible to take real pleasure in those essential household duties, while at the same time evoking the atmosphere and spirit of a time gone by.

3 out of 5 stars Warning -- Same Book, Different Title.......2004-07-16

I only gave this book three stars because it is the same book as "Secrets of Good Housekeeping" also by Laura Fronty -- same content, lovely photo's, etc., only difference is the title.

1 out of 5 stars Pictures are best component.......2003-10-02

Disappointing content. Pictures are nice but not worth more than a quick browse.

1 out of 5 stars Disappointing.......2002-07-28

This book is nothing but a hardcover magazine. Gorgeous pictures, useless content. These are not the memories of a French grandmother so much as a big... ad for you to buy a whole lot of products, try out some weekend project that never ends, give up and go out and buy more useless products. There are much better books on this topic for people who are serious about the running of their home but are mostly, unfortunately out of print.

2 out of 5 stars Not very useful or safe........2002-04-06

About 50% of this book offers advice that is either useless or dangerous. A few potted geraniums on your windowsill will NOT keep away mosquitoes. You do not make "Homemade soap" by squashing together the remains of previously-used soap. Ditto for "Homemade cheese". Anyone who tries to "save" rancid butter by massaging in a few tablespoons of baking soda and water is just asking for a bellyache. Do you have any "Spanish White" around your house? Neither do I. If I'm going to make a special trip to "any local hardware store" to pick up a tube of Spanish White and a vial of "methelated spirits" so I can blend them into silver-polishing paste, why wouldn't I just snap up a cheap tube of silver polish and save myself the added expense and mixing effort? The worst advice in the entire book is this: "Give your apricot, plum or cherry jam an almond taste by cooking a few crushed fruit stones, enclosed in a small muslin bag, at the same time as the fruits." That almond taste you've just added is CYANIDE, a deadly poison found concentrated in fruit pits and usually used to execute gas-chamber prisoners in a really horrible way. Do you really want to add that to your jam? Wouldn't you rather use an inexpensive and non-poisonous almond extract, almond milk or even marzipan paste instead? And for those of you who argue that a little can't hurt - how much arsenic or lead do you usually like to add to your food? Cyanide is MUCH worse. How much is too much? The authors certainly don't say. They don't even mention that it's poison.

If anything, the photographs in the book are exquisite, and if you study them for decorating ideas, gardening ideas and color combinations, the book is certainly worth a dent in your credit or library card. The prose, however, needs more than a little tightening up and perhaps some fact-checking.

5 out of 5 stars A breath of life from an older time.......2001-11-14

A little of everything...cooking, cleaning, beauty products, garden lore. Lovely photographs.

If you're interested in "old ways" or in France, you might also enjoy REALLY RURAL, a book by Marie-France Boyer.

        Book Description

        Advocates for the arts have contributed significantly to the philosophy and practice of early and elementary education throughout its history. Yet the nature, value, and purpose of arts experiences in the lives of children seem to remain puzzling and problematic to those most directly involved in teaching the young.
        Conversations between scholars and teacher educators in the arts and in education occur all too infrequently. Seventeen authors, whose work represents the best of contemporary research and theory on a constellation of issues concerning the role of the arts in children's lives and learning, address critical issues of development, context, and curriculum from perspectives informed by work with children in formal and informal settings. This anthology strives to reinvigorate dialogue on the role and significance of the arts in the education of children drawing on various cultural and institutional context and traditional and contemporary practices from different parts of the world.

        I received this book after attending Rick Schafer's workshop a few years back and have learned so much from it. The illustrations are so beautiful and really show how wonderful the Oregon Coast is. I have returned many times to photograph it myself since the book is inspiring. Rick has a trained eye that matches no other. If you want to see Oregon's beauty or just want a coffee table book that takes you away this is the one to buy!

          Book Description

          In a school where martial arts are standard curriculum and disputes are settled by officially recognized duels, Ryoko is kicking butt and taking names. But this otherwise innocent high school girl is in for the fight of the year when she is challenged to a K-Fight by Azumi. The whole school soon becomes their battlefield in the biggest grudge match yet.

          Customer Reviews:

          5 out of 5 stars Ryoko what happend...........2003-10-26

          Ryoko so heart broken not knowing what to do because her world is just falling apart she doesn't know what to do anymore, but then we are at azumi's house and she recieves a call, from who, it is still a mystery,she goes to school and challemges ryoko to a fight, well while they are fighting it starts to get personal and they really fight, but ryoko just runs away hides in the bathroom and starts to cry, she has never cried, it is like a faucet that won't stop, and we see azumi waitng and shizumas personal employee asks azumi if she will come back, azumi says she will, she has to clear her mind, she does come back all fresah but with a look that you do not want to see they fight but the winner ends up to be azumi, of course the principle was watching the whole thing and said no matter what ryoko does when she falls she always falls forward and never back, you see her lying on azumi and azumi half alive, then we see ryoko in the hospital and hitmoi comes to check up on her, and then you see shizuma coming and he is standing there and says hey, he goes closer and closer to her and dshe is like get away, they are close and you think he is going to kiss her and then he says"whyda always have to hog the fun" shaking her, it is hilarious!!

          5 out of 5 stars Jealousy rears its ugly head...........2003-03-20

          If you have read the first two books, then you know that Ryoko Mitsurugi thinks she is a samurai, that she and a girl named Azumi Kiribiyashi are vieing for the chance to date a certain young man, and that their school uses the revolutionary K-fight system. None of this should be news to you.

          But Ryoko's world is starting to fall apart, and her sanity is slowing crumbling away. After hearing some bad news, Ryoko is shaken to the core and starts to lose herself in grief. She is no longer able to be the samurai that she was just days before, and loses fights that her old self would have won in moments.

          She's not the only one affected by this. Azumi also goes off the deep end, only not as far and in a different way. And the school feels the backlash when the two best female fighters suddenly go at it in a K-fight. But this K-fight is not being filmed like the others, and the grounds of the school become the arena where a fight to the death takes place.

          This is nowhere near as funny as the other books, but it wasn't meant to be. This is meant to change the story, and the lives of the characters. It is serious because it needs to be serious; the story wouldn't work otherwise.

          Go out and buy this book! Or at least read it. I promise, you won't look at Real Bout High School the same way ever again.

                            Waynes World
                            The book review of Frank Fortuanos "Wayne Gretzky: star center

                            Frank Fortuanos "Wayne Gretzky star center is a marvelous book full of facts and career statistics of Wayne Gretzky. He tells a great story of his upbringing and even why he tucks his jersey in one side. But, the book does slow down. When he gets into a career it is repetitive to some degree. In each chapter he tells how many points he had in that season, and how hard he worked to win the Stanley cup. But it gives a great story of his life. I highly recommend it to anyone who is doing a report on him
