Cute. A little tiny 'tho.......2007-08-05
I purchased the autumn book and really enjoyed it, so I ordered Christmas Joy. I was tad disappointed to see this was such a small and slender volume. It has the same cute recipes and suggestions but fewer of them. It is also fairly short- only 46 pages. I read it in about 15 minutes.
Overalll, a cute book, but I was expecting more.
Dont you just LOVE Susan? I do!.......2006-08-02
This little book is a great addition to your Susan Branch collection. I enjoy the little recipes and as always her beautiful watercolor drawings! Beautiful!
A wonderful Christmas gift book !.......2003-11-13
This book has it all and is delightful. I bought this as a gift for my sister-in- law and am I ever glad I also got one for myself. Itis beautifully illustrated and is filled with recipes, decorating ideas and special thoughts. Its one of those books that you get out each year at Christmas time and you read it again and again.
Great gift........2002-03-03
Purchased this as a Christmas gift for my nephew's wife. She loved it!

Book Description
Choosing a bottle of wine should be fun, not frightening. After all, one of the most important elements of enjoying wine is not so much the vintage or the vineyard but the occasion on which it is enjoyed.
In their new book,
Wine for Every Day and Every Occasion, Dorothy J. Gaiter and John Brecher, authors of the popular weekly "Tastings" column in the
Wall Street Journal, give you the kind of honest, accessible wine information that is hard to find.
In
Wine for Every Day and Every Occasion, Dottie and John, as they are known to their fans, answer the most frequently asked questions about what wine to drink on specific occasions. They cover all the bases: What wine should I put away for my newborn's twenty-first birthday? What wine is best with Thanksgiving turkey? They also suggest ways in which wine can make every day a little bit more of an occasion -- how to throw a wine tasting, how to start a wine-tasting group, even how to add wine to your tailgating party. And they share scores of tips from people like you.
Chapters include lists of specific wines and provide readers with suggestions for choosing Champagne to ring in the New Year and for chilled whites (and even reds) to drink in the summer. There is no stodginess about vintages and there are no numbered ratings.
Wine for Every Day and Every Occasion gives you simple, straightforward advice to help you choose the best wines for life's best moments. As Dottie and John say, "The problem with most wine books is that they are about wine. Our book is about life."

Enjoying wine.......2006-01-26
Easy and entertaining reading. Enables you to learn some things about wine without feeling like you have to study to do so.
The Love of Wines.......2004-12-02
This is the third book (plus one revised) on wine authored by Dottie & John, two very talented writers for the Wall Street Journal. If you enjoyed their first two books, you will love this one. As you probably already know, their books are not intended to be atlases of viticulture, but are "how to books" on the enjoyment of wine and how wine impacts our day to day life. How wine makes daily events more meaningful and helps to rekindle memories of remote events. The book should be read as a novel -- cover to cover -- as there are pearls of information in every chapter, including hints on how to tour domestic and foreign wine regions, on shopping for wine, gift suggestions, wine websites, and of course multiple suggestions for wines for any occasion. Most importantly, this book describes how hundreds of others across the world and you the reader can integrate the love of wine into your daily life.
A fantastic book that introduces people to wine! .......2004-11-19
It is a very unpretentious book that helps people choose and enjoy wine. I tremendously enjoyed the writing style of the two authors, as it was down to earth and very personal. A great book!

My Flagship Cookbook.......2006-11-26
This cookbook is super! As a single person with not much cooking experience, this was a wonderful book for my cooking ego as everyone who ate my creations was very impressed. My sister kept saying, "Mmmm" while eating the Mexican Chicken and she even asked for the recipe. Never mind the fact that she rarely cooks! The sausage and egg souffle made me seem like a culinary wizard and it was so easy. Love it. If you are single or just want tasty, easy-to-make recipes, get this book!
Great Cookbook!!!.......2006-11-24
Wide variety of recipes which are inexpensive and easy to follow. I use the recipes all the time and my guests love the food!!! Kudos to the creators!!!

Great ideas...for someone else.......2007-07-19
I'm not sure what I was expecting. I loved the personal stories they gave and their ideas are really great. Maybe a little too Martha Stewart for the likes of me, but the ladies in my church could probably do wonders with it.
A lovely book with a heavenly purpose..........2000-06-20
Author Barbara Ball has a heart for people, and this flows into the ministry of hospitality in her community. The book is not only inspiring (why do it?), but also very practical (how do you do it?). She shows you how to invite people, how to decorate your home, what food to serve, and how to share a winsome faith-filled message with your honored guests. If you are a Christian with a passion for outreach, this book is for you.

A superb addition to any kitchen cookbook collection.......2004-04-04
Compiled from recipes donated by The Junior League of Wilmington, Dancing On The Table: Easily Elegant Recipes To Keep The Joy In Entertaining is more than a carefully selected recipe compilation suitable for parties and memorable gatherings; it is also the first official cookbook of the state of Delaware. A medley of color photographs intersperse this spiral-bound compilation and its classy suggestions such as Ginger and Honey Pork Tenderloin; Szechuan Noodle Salad; Punkin Chunkin' Cinnamon Meringues, and more. A superb addition to any kitchen cookbook collection Dancing On The Table is enhanced for the dedicated family chef with a page suitable for do-it-yourself notations added to the end various sections.
A classic Junior League cookbook with a Cultural flair.......2004-01-31
The recipes were original and not too hard to pull together. I especially loved those that featured regional cuisines, like mushrooms (Kennett Square Pa) and seafood from the Delaware and Maryland shore. It makes a wonderful gift - I have given it to hostesses, teachers and family members. Those that most appreciate it are those friends who have moved out of town, because, of the cooperation of the tourism offices from Delaware and historic Southern Pennsylvania the pictures and stories of the local attractions are like taking a mini-trip back home.
These recipes and photo's made me want to dance!.......2003-03-23
Nominated for the prestigious Tabasco award...this book offers fun and easy recipes which have been hits everywhere I have taken them!!! The professional photographs of the area were a nice addition - and I especially loved the pictures of the Wyeth and duPont homes - The sidebars are entertaining and read like a travel guide. You will love this book! I also enjoy supporting a non-profit dedicated to raising funds to promote literacy.

i love this book, everything is written well and the recipes are delicious and easy to follow. the ONLY thing i would say is that it doesn't have a ton of recipes. i may use it for one or two, but i always go back to martha for her huge selection of every kind of hors d'oeuvre in the universe. her book is amazing. but, this is great to have and i use it often.

Joy Says to be Kind to Your Guests.......2005-05-01
This is one of Joy Berry's "Survival Series for Kids" books and I have to confess that my son Devon and I like them all. I've had them in storage for years, way before Devon was a twinkle in my eye, or my gal Sara's, and I'm glad I saved them.
In this book Ms. Berry and illustrator Bartholomew, with your help of course, will show your toddler, or slightly older child, that it's important of be kind to their guests. That they should never ask someone to stay over, without asking Mom or Dad first. That they should never ask Mom or Dad in front of the other child, thus possibly embarrassing him or her. And especially that they should never be like Randy Rude, a rude little boy in the story who is not kind to his guests.
Though this book was written over twenty years ago, it still stands up. The excellent comic book type illustrations will keep your child interested as you read along with him or her. And for the life of me I don't know why these books are not easier to get. Joy Berry is good for children, that's my opinion and I'm sticking to it. If you can get a hold of her books and share them with your child, you'll both be better for it.

UNO student .......2005-05-18
This book is pretty easy to follow, if you can follow simple algebraic graphs and logic (emphasize logic). I thought at first that maybe this book may have been easy, so I looked around on amazon and inferrred from what I read that all the micro books that are making big sales to universities are the same. By that I mean not to math intensive, just schedules, graphs, and definitions. I got an A in the class and feel like I definitely learned something. I recommend this book for those who want to learn on own also.
A good survey.......2003-10-26
'Foundations of Microeconomics' by Robin Bade and Michael Parkin is an interesting text for an introductory course in Microeconomics. The primary academic division at the beginning level of economics is the Micro/Macro-economic divide; often it is taught as a two-semester sequence for students going into economics, political science, history, business or any other such discipline that requires a thorough grounding in economic theory and principles.
Bade and Parkin are aware from decades of teaching experience that students often get lost in a sea of detail, and that many introductory economics texts (as do the introductory texts of many fields) attempt to do too much too quickly in introducing their subjects. Bade and Parkin organise each chapter, therefore, around only a few core principles - three or four at most. They have also built into this text a very extensive set of charts and diagrams to demonstrate the points that are being explained in the text.
Each chapter begins with a checklist, and ends with checkpoints (which follow on from section checkpoints along the way). Included in this is a featured called the 'Eye on...' feature - these are small articles that highlight practical, real life situations in which the principles under discussion apply. They may be domestic or international in scope, and may be current or significant in history.
The book is adaptable to many different uses - the introductory pages highlight four alternative means of focus that the book can take: a traditional micro-economics course approach; a public policy emphasis; a business emphasis; or a shorter policy emphasis. Each of these build on core principles in the early chapters, and then expand from there depending upon the primary interests of the class or reader.
The layout of the book is visually interesting and lively. The use of colour, photographs, and charts and graphs adds tremendously to the feel of the text. The text is sharp and concise, without sacrificing clarity or content.
One very important section that I wish would have more detail and emphasis is the appendix to chapter 1 - Making and Using Graphs. Interpreting and drawing graphs seems to be the single largest problem area for students I tutor in microeconomics, so more emphasis on this part would be appreciated, particularly as the skills given in this section carry throughout the entire book. As a primary tool, the relegation of this to an appendix sends somewhat of a mixed message of the importance of graphs. Perhaps renaming this as a chapter in its own right would help somewhat, with more detail and examples (much like in mathematics, it is in the repetition of the exercises that the students gain mastery of the concepts). Students are indeed called upon to do many exercises during the course of this text (learning by doing, rather than just through reading), but the early grounding in graphical representation is critical.
