Jacket

Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary, 11th Edition (Red Kivar Binding with Jacket)

Merriam-Webster

Merriam-Webster, 2003

Merriam Websters Collegiate Dictionary
It pays to buy the 'real thing' and not paperbacks and school district and college 'throw aways' whose versions of the English langage were okay fifty years ago but, not now? Amazon has it for more than a affordable price and the finished product will last till ...

Cy Tymony

Andrews McMeel Publishing, 2005

Silly Rabbit! This book is ALSO for kids!
I'm not sure why some readers don't seem to understand that Cy Tymony obviously wrote this book series for kids. Boys, most likely, under the age of 10 or 11. An audience of that age will find this book quite interesting, like its prequel. I'll repeat, if you've ...

Tailoring: The Classic Guide to Sewing the Perfect Jacket

Editors of creative Publishing

Creative Publishing international, 2005

Learned a lot from this one!
This book is great, as long as you are an experienced seamstress [sorry for the possible sexist misunderstanding]. Really great tips and hints for someone who has significant experience with sewing and/or tailoring. Wonderful photos!

Fatherhood

Bill Cosby

Berkley Trade, 1987

Fatherhood
I am a senior in high school, and I have just finished the popular book Fatherhood by Bill Cosby. As most of us already know, Bill Cosby is a comical man. He puts a comedic twist on most everything he says, yet in a serious way. I enjoy how he can mix reailty with ...

Knit Kimono: 18 Designs with Simple Shapes

Vicki Square

Interweave Press, 2007

Before you buy the yarn, read this review!
I rate the book high because of the ideas. Now that I have tried to do a few, I would give it 3 stars, but the system won't let me edit that. I knit by hand and with machines. This book is easily adapted to machine knitting. The author provides a basic platform ...

Why Vietnam Matters: An Eyewitness Account of Lessons Not Learned (Blue Jacket Bks)
Rufus Phillips

Naval Institute Press, 2008

In The Best and the Brightest, David Halberstam described Rufus Phillips as a man one could trust telling President Kennedy during the Vietnam War about the failures of the Strategic Hamlet Program, 'in itself a remarkable moment in the American bureaucracy, a moment of intellectual honesty.' With that same honesty, Phillips gives an ...

Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus: A Practical Guide for Improving Communication and Getting What You ...

John Gray

HarperCollins, 1993

Great Guidebook
A lot has been said already about this book over the years since it first hit the shelves, and I'm not sure I can offer any new information. I believe everybody should either read this book or books like it. We all need a greater understanding; not just of others (our ...

The Kid in the Red Jacket

Barbara Park

Yearling, 1988

Great for teaching character!
I'm a fourth-grade teacher and I read this book at the start of ever school year. It teaches a great life lesson about not judging people until you know what it's like to be them; the kind of person you have to be to have nice friends; etc. I use it as a read-aloud and ...

Knitting Simple Jackets: 25 Beautiful Designs

Marilyn Cohen

Lark Books, 2006

Knitting Simple Jackets
I was impressed, and plan on making one or two of the patterns. I was particularly thrilled with the fact that it doesn't specify a particular yarn, but simply gives you the weight and the gauge. This is good for knitters whose cupboards are overflowing with a yarn ...

Jackets, Coats and Suits (Threads On)

Taunton, 1993

Very little about coats, but excellent jacket information
If you're looking to make a jacket or a blazer, this is one book you don't want to miss. It's got more information about fitting, pressing, sizing, facing, and construction than any I've seen before. Unfortunately, it doesn't have much information on winter coat ...

Gunn Sights: Taking Aim on Selling in the High-Stakes Industry of International Aerospace (Blue Jacket Bks)
Thomas Gunn

Naval Institute Press, 2008

Tom Gunn had a life-altering career change in 1975 when he went from an eight-year stint as staff lawyer with the U.S. Senate to a job in aerospace sales and marketing at McDonnell Douglas. He knew a lot about military appropriations and classified developments, but almost nothing about marketing. Over the next twenty-two years, however, Gunn and ...

Chip Kidd: Book One: Work: 1986-2006 (Chip Kidd)

Chip Kidd

Rizzoli, 2005

Why are you reading this itstead of buying the book?
This book is bound with a split hardback/softback cover, so if you appreciate design -- which I assume you do since you're considering a compilation of book designs -- the book is worth buying for this odd cover arrangement alone.

Snitch Jacket

Christopher Goffard

Overlook/Rookery, 2007

Smart, funny and entertaining
That Christopher Goffard could suck me into a tale this outlandish and have me laughing my (posterior) off at the same time is a testament to his skill as a novelist. Incredibly, a debut novelist. I'd heard that this book was published to acclaim in the UK last ...
