Paper

This is the only book I have ever seen over the Solitario. This collapsed dome has represntitive strata from most of the geologically significant areas of Texas. This book is a treasure trove of information and comes with very informative full sized maps of the solitario.

George Beneath a Paper Moon is an account of a man's life (not told first person) that is interesting all the way through. The man, George Hare, owns a small travel agency that booms with success. However, he isn't affected by money; he only likes to help people by fulfilling their travel desires. Through Gerorge's life, he is unappreciated and feels that his being is ludicrous. The book is his story, his experiences, his love life, his personal thoughts, his (and Nina Bawden's) brilliant insights, etc. The style that Nina Bawden writes in is fabulous! She includes her own remarks in parentheses as if she were reading along with you. She takes a risque plot and portrays it as completely normal. I was through this novel before I knew it and find myself wishing I could be reading it for the first time all over again. ...And as for the last line, it is a clincher.

I remember buying this book when I was in the 5th grade ( I am now 20 years old) on a trip to Washington. I bought this book at the top of the washington monument. I remember how I could have looked through the pages a hundred times. His illustrations are to date and very detailed. I remember there being several dolls of Washington and his family and a good amount of outfits for each doll. This will be a collectors item one day.

Directed primarily at students in high school or college who don't know how to get started in writing a paper, report, thesis or similar project, my college son read it and passed it on. I found it helped enormously with my writing of corporate reports, clear and precise office memos, etc. It's in a chatty, easy to read style but I still found lots of ideas that will continue to be useful in clarifying and focusing what I'm trying to say and getting it down on paper quickly, sharply and without rambling.

This paper doll set, like the others, has a great deal of charm and a lot of character. In this case, the characters are also namable and have beautiful clothing items and the ever-helpful hints on the inside of the cover and back. I think this will appeal to many girls, especially those who like dressing up...these are a great deal of fun.

This book has some of the best gift wrapping tips and ideas I've ever seen.

This Christmas, I was getting bored wrapping gifts the same old way, so I began surfing for some ideas to spice it up a little. This book did not disappoint. It has ideas for all skill levels, and uses materials that are widely available. It also has great wrapping ideas for gifts with unusual shapes and sizes.

It comes complete with simple instructions, step by step photographs and diagrams, and even has all the templates you need to get started.

From now on, all gifts will be spectacular, inside and out.

Geoffrey Glaister's "Encyclopedia of the book" is a resource that cannot afford to be out-of-print. It is so all-encompassing as to cover all aspects of the book, from specific biographies of publishers, book designers, printers, et al, and histories of the book's development from all angles. I cannot stress enough the need for a collector or book enthusiast to track down this volume to include in their resource library. There is, and probably never will be, nothing like it.

A beautiful collection of paper dolls with excellent reproductions of original costumes worn by some of the most famous and glamorous stars of the thirties. I purchased this collection when I was in my teens and still have it in my collection today. I highly recommend Glamorous Movie Stars of the Thirties for your paper doll collection, Tom Tierneys work is fantastic!

If you want to gain insight into the goals, motivations, and tactics of the antiglobalization social movement, this is the book for you. The editor, who is a professor of international development at American University in Washington, D.C., has selected more than 40 documents (mostly written by activists themselves) that illustrate both the diversity of the movement and its underlying themes. Whether your interest is in indigenous peoples, the environment, the labor movement, fair trade, or development, you will find valuable and illuminating information in this volume.

This paper doll book covers the years from 1922 to 1927. In addition to the five 8-inch dolls and their outfits, there is a journal. The journal tells the story of the characters and the clothing they wear. Each doll has a variety of costumes including uniforms, everyday wear, and dressy clothes. Various hairstyles are provided for the females. This book is very well done. The dolls and clothes are printed on glossy cardstock and paper. The colors appear to be the correct hues for the time. Beside each costume is a short description with fashion notes and the year. The fashion notes vary in contents. They may contain the materials used, the names of the colors, the source of the clothing, or when it was worn. Many of the outfits came from the Sears catalog. Unlike many paper doll books for the Twenties, this one shows ordinary people not movie stars or the rich and famous. The book also includes a brief glossary of fashion terms and a bibliography. The back cover has a map showing where the events of the journal occurred and a picture of Fred Harvey. It packs a lot of information in its few pages. After carefully removing the pages of dolls and costumes you can reassemble the book and have the complete journal. If you cut out the fashion notes and attach them to the back of the outfits, you will have them for future reference. If you're interested in fashion of the Twenties, the history of the West or the Harvey Girls get this book. (I was personally disappointed in the book only because I wanted the Harvey Girls of an earlier period. The description of the book didn't include the dates when I ordered it.)
