Book Description
Even now that we're all grown up, we can't help but look back on our childhood holidays and hope to recapture that elusive spirit of joyful anticipation. Celebrating Christmas is so often about nostalgia. With a nod and a wink to the days of Christmas past, It's a Wonderful Christmas presents classic images of the Yuletide icons of mid-20th-century America.
Bubbler lights and glow-in-the-dark icicles. Catalogues crammed with toys. Norad bulletins tracking Rudolph's red nose through the nighttime sky. Along with hundreds of such quintessentially American illustrations, author Susan Waggoner stocking-stuffs her lively text with fascinating bits of information, lore, and lists. Wonder what the all-time most popular Christmas song is? How the tradition of the department store Santa got started? The answers are here. Loaded with images of vintage Christmas cards, wrapping paper, magazine ads, Lionel toy trains, and more, all in full color, this charming book will appeal to anyone who associates Christmas with home movies, "The Chipmunk Song," and Santa relaxing with an ice-cold bottle of Coca-Cola. AUTHOR BIO: SUSAN WAGGONER is the author of several illustrated books, including Vintage Cocktails (STC). A native of Minnesota, she currently lives in New York City.

Lady, ya need to make it longer!.......2007-09-15
I am a Christmas junkie, always have been, so this was a great gift idea for one such as me, and my wife saw this and pounced on it straight off.
I don't think I'm the only one, either -- Christmas is the whole reason for having a calendar, for enduring summer, a reward for keeping our yaps shut during Near-holidays, or Faux holidays, like Labor Day or Valentine's. Christmas is life at its surreal best, the time when we get nostalgic for stuff that didn't really happen. We might be the first group to confuse recollection of television shows with our own lives, and, hey, we REVEL in that.
One moment is typical -- the window stencils and the spray junk that made the images on one's windows. It came right off, but it still irritated the bee-whosis out of our mom. Here is where things get slightly mystical for me. The photo brought back smells and sounds and body memories -- I can think of no other way to describe them -- in a heady and bittersweet rush. I wanted more -- I want more.
This is the one criticism I had -- don't you think something so crucial to American life and light should be a trifle more exhaustive? Couldn't this have been a coffee-table sized book? Are there sequels planned? Maybe year by year, throwing wide the focus? This felt more like an article that was beefed up a bit, and I think Ms. Waggoner could cast a wider net and make her and her publisher much more money and make us Christmas junkies much happier.
Nevertheless, it is highly recommended, buy yourself a copy and a few for friends -- it would make a great Christmas gift, actually -- and get a few copies of the real MIRACLE ON 34TH STREET while you're at it. How are you coming on memorizing the dialogue in A CHRISTMAS STORY, by the way?
JOURNEY TO THE PAST.......2007-07-16
I absolutely loved this book, "It's A Wonderful Christmas: The Best of the Holidays 1940-1965. It took the reader back to the traditions and simpler times of the era. The book gave the history of Christmas' past.
Great pictures of all the Christmas nostalgia!!! I really reminisced about the toys of the 50's and 60's. I had most of them!!
My parents enjoyed the book also!!! My Mom used to work at Woolworth's and it brought back many memories!!!
An awesome book to purchase and put on your coffee table for the holidays!
Love this book........2007-05-13
I really like this book. It covers all the topics and has plenty of photos. Though I missed most of this time period, I just love this era. Full of nostalgia.
A great look at back at they heyday of Christmas' past.......2007-05-10
I spotted this bok while temping at one of Amazon's fulfillment center and purchased it as from my quick perusal of said book I thiought it looked interesting.
Oh boy, it very much is and I'm glad I bought it even though it took several months before they could send it. It was well worth the wait as I love seeing the items for sale back in the day. Then again, I enjoy estate sales and such so this was right up my alley.
I thoroughly enjoyed the book and wished it went in deeper into the psyche of the times but oh well. It was still a very good read non the less and it's more of a coffee table book than anything else
Definately worth it for that alone.
christmas book.......2007-03-31
I love this book. It has things in it from when i was a kid. The pictures are great too.
Book Description
Do employers pay less for predominantly female jobs than for predominantly male jobs that involve different tasks but are "comparnble" in their demands of skill, training, effort, responsibility, and working conditions? Are anti-discrimination policy and wage systems based on "comparable worth" a reasonable idea?
This overview of the controversial issue of comparable worth integrates perspectives from sociology, economics, industrial psychology, law, philosophy, and interdisciplinary feminist theory. After providing a detailed description of the situation of women in employment today, the volume considers how sociological and economic theories of labor markets illuminate the gap in pay between sexes. The book also contains chapters on how job evaluation can be used and misused, the legal status of comparable worth in federal courts, the stance of different feminist philosophies on normative issues of comparable worth, and contemporary policy debates on pay equity.

Book Description
Here's a rich world of blues harmonica instruction and music for beginning through intermediate players.
Inspired by the idea that most music instruction literature is boring and irrelevant to most people most of the time, Rock n' Blues taches improvisational blues harmonica in a way that gets through the even the most instruction-hating, throy-phobic, eye-closed, "leave-me-alone-I'm-jamming" harp player. THE BOOK includes choosing your harp, first sounds, getting sweet tone, playing chords, playing single notes, basic blues riffs, I-IV-V blues progressions, bending, tongue-blocking, octaves and splits, vibrato, headshakes, mics and amps, positions 1 through 6 plus 12, reed tuning, famous cross harp melodies and more. The audio index tells you the key of harmonica you need to jam with the great blues recordings.
On THE CD, Jon plays every major harp technique over an easy-jamming, blues-band background for your C harmonica. Turn off the instruction to hear only the band. Turn off the band to hear only the instruction. This fully indexed 74 minute audio program will be a constant companion as you develop your tone and techniques.
THE HARMONICA is a Hohner Bluesband in the key of C, regularly retailing at $6. It is capable of sweet tone, bending and blues.

Rock n Blues Review.......2007-08-23
I had previously purchased other instructional material by Jon Gindick, so I knew the guy was a good teacher, but this exceeded all expectations. I could see an improvement in myself after listening to the CD the very first time. The book is illustrated and specifically written for us "musical dummies". I would like to mention, however, that while the book is directed towards raw beginners, it takes a great deal of practicing to be able to Jam along with the CD. But, then again, that's probably the idea. If you were already that good you wouldn't need to be buying it. Overall, this is a great product.
Great Product!.......2007-05-23
Yeah--the caveman story line is a little tedious, but you gotta love Mr. Gindicks attempt at making it less technical and boring to study music. The material is great--the CD is wonderful--I've been getting better and better just playing the CD and jamming along--every now and then I even learn something new.
If you want to learn blues harp--this is a great place to start, in my opinion.
Ray
A Harmonica Book that Teaches the Fun Way!.......2007-05-15
If you're new to harmonica, or just want a few tips on how to improve your sound or technique, then this book is worth a look. John Gindick is a super teacher and this book is testament to that. Both entertaining and informing, this book has what the beginner/intermediate harp player is looking for.
Forget all the rest, buy this book.......2007-04-15
I have an impressive stack of "Learn to Play the Harmonica Instantly" books and none of them helped me in the least. This book got me playing the harmonics very quickly. The Caveman aspect of the book is a bit corny, but what the heck, why not? It's just Jon's way of making a unique approach to the music. If you really want to play music on your harmonica, buy this book. If you want excuses for why you don't play harmonica, stay with the others.
Rock n' Blues Harmonica.......2007-02-18
Exellent CD, book is very informative however drawn out with the caveman storyline which I would have preferred that it did not have.

Why is this book so hard to find????.......2002-06-20
This book answered questions I've had for years about my collection of hot rod music. There should be many people out there looking for this book. It may not be completely comprehensive, but who'd know. If it had had better distribution, maybe there'd have been revisions and second editions. Personally I'd really like to see a 1950's version of this book.
Buy this book and check it against your list. You'll be glad you did.

An excellent encyclopedia of scandals!.......2003-02-04
This wonderful book is simply jam-packed with information on scandals both recent and old. I picked up the book to read something about the scandal that ruined Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle, and found an excellent synopsis of it. Reading on through the book, I read about many scandals that I had heard about (such as Father Coughlin, the 1982 Congressional Page scandal, and much more), and quite a few that I had not (Supreme Court Justices forced to resign, murders, divorces, sexual scandals, and much, much more).
As might be expected with a book that is organized like an encyclopedia, this book covers many subjects, but none of them to any great depth. But, I do not consider that to be negative. What this book tried to be, it succeeds at being, quite admirably. It covered everything scandal I could think of, and succeeded in giving me a basic understanding in the shortest time possible. Therefore, if you are interested in reading about the many scandals that have flamed up throughout American history, then I highly recommend that you get this book!

This is my 2nd Geeks on call book and again it is a real helpful book. Easy to understand and very helpful, and what a bargain.
