Karon Phillips Goodman
Equilibrium Press, 2002
Very helpful

Simplifying Sugar Flowers (Merehurst Cake Decorating)
Alison Procter
Merehurst, 2004
Beautiful, impressive and easy to make flowers.
Contrary to the opinion of some reviewers, this book does not teach flowers taught in Wilton classes. I was a Wilton instructor for 5 years and taught all of their classes including the new fondant and gumpaste class. These gumpaste flowers are incredibly lifelike ...

Simplifying Complex Scenes in Watercolor
Malcolm Beattie
International Artist, 2003
This one's a keeper.
As a beginner-to-intermediate painter, I have bought several watercolor books and this seems to be one of the best ones for me. It is not a beginner book, as it is targeted more for the intermediate painter; short on fundamentals and long on technique. In reading it, ...

Simplifying Timeshare: Vacation Ownership-The Complete How To

Simplifying Timeshare reviewed
I am biased because I know Karen Holden and was part of the editing process.

If you're lost in the prenatal fog like me...
I have never written a review on Amazon before, but this book compelled me to do so because I have found it so helpful. While I agree with the reviewer who said the book is biased (Huggins' preferences for breastfeeding, natural birth, etc. come out loud and clear), it ...
