Amazon.com: Books: The World's Finest Mystery and Crime Stories: Third Annual Collection: Vol. #3 (#)
„In the former category, there is Ed McBain with "Activity on the Flood Plain" which, on the surface, doesn't appear to belong in this collection at all. What begins as a story of a beleaguered artist dealing with a nattering nabob on a planning and zoning board takes a left turn near the conclusion. And, yeah, it definitely belongs in this volume. Jeffrey Deaver is included as well, with "Beautiful." This marks the first time I have ever been able to guess the conclusion of a Deaver work and it did not diminish my enjoyment of the story, which concerns a woman who finds an effective, if drastic way, of dealing with a stalker.“

„While Silverton offers new takes on such standards as the grilled cheese sandwich, she does satisfy those craving a less traditional and more innovative experience. Her open-faced sandwich combinations include Asparagus, Poached Egg, Prosciutto and Fontina Cheese; Bacon, Avocado and Watercress; and Piled-High Pork. Served closed face are the Monte Cristo; Fried Oyster Sandwich; and Ham, Creamed Spinach, and Stewed Leeks. Sandwich sweets (such as the Carrot Cake Club Sandwich or Blum's Sandwich Cake) and an assortment of tea sandwiches and finger foods round out the menu.“

„This is a mediocre machine that makes steamed milk and coffee. However, it is advertised as a latte maker. It does not make latte's. Personally, I think it is false advertising.“

Amazon.com: Books: Quilting Masterclass: Inspirations and Techniques from the Experts
„The quilts have been divided into sections called Traditional and Beyond, Illusion: Two Dimensions into Three, Pictorial and Story, Contemporary Abstract, and Textured and Embellished. I admired quilts in every section, but my particular favorites are Open Gate (a reverse applique of black fabric gate over a watercolor garden that is 5 X 7 feet), Glass Carafes (I've always loved watercolor paintings of glass items, but it never occurred to me to attempt something so delicate and luminous in fabric), The Greek Quilt (the earth-toned applique reminded me of the painting on a tribal piece of pottery), and Quilt for a Hot Night (five brightly colored strips of piece work connected by narrow cloth strips reminescent of bead weaving and Africa).“

Amazon.com: Books: Farewell to Shady Glade
„Shady Glade is the peak of Peet's storytelling and artistry. It's a great story about a group of forest creatures who's home is about to be destroyed by the progress of man. They leave their home, ironically, on the very instrument that brought man so quickly across the continent, a train, in search of a new shady glade.“
