The book in the picture is not the book i own. The one i own i couldn't find a picture of. But this picture of this book comes very close to it. This book is about travel, friendship, honor, plane heroism, going on even when everything around you is against you. It takes you into a world far away. A wonderous tale. That keeps you reading. At first the book is hard to read when all the characters and their cultural backgrounds and kingdoms are explained. But then Tolkien takes you on a journey that would stay with you for the rest of your live. A must read.
Stupid series is addicting. Reads like your favorite tv show, I can see why they made it into one.
i read this in Hong Kong, it feels like a book that came out from that country. trashy good read after you've done lots of shopping!
I bought this book years ago because I couldn't resist it. It has gorgeous ideas for making detailed and highly structured quilt blocks--something I don't usually do. Somehow, underneath all the flow that is my usual style, I must be a highly formal, structured individual. Scratch that. Clearly delineated lines give me something to work within. It works with gardens. It works with food creation. It works with quilts. And already, looking over this book again with an eye to the new indigo-like shashiko-looking fabric I found while at a world quilt show last week, I have already begun to see how I would modify the structures to retain the sense, but not the look of the originals. This stuff is really gorgeous, don't get me wrong. But it is not me. That's probably a good thing. Now, this book: It has detailed instructions on completing some real stumpers: inset seams, triangle squares, and special piecing techniques are all explained. Color pictures, and enlargeable diagrams are included. I don't think there is anything she missed. It is a spur to creativity, and an aid to completing one's vision. If it isn't exactly what I need, that is probably because she's written another book that probably covers what I think I need: Japanese Taupe Quilt Blocks: The Calm, Neutral Collection. I'll have to get it and find out. Briscoe did a brilliant job on this series. If you can't create something wonderful from these books, you probably haven't tried yet.
Perfection. After reading it the first time I knew I'd never read anything so perfect ever again. Each word drips divinely from the page. Simple. Pure. Perfection. A true gift to American liturature. Read for the third time June 2007 on my return from Key West. This one never disappoints me. After reading it again...I dreamed of lions.
