Helpful Score: 1


This book contains futuristic models and ~Modern~ style kitchen design.
It seems to be more of a coffee table book than a guide to be used in kitchen renovation. The designs encompass studio apartments, ships interiors and even a Hermit's Cabin (something like a souped up fishing shack.) Probably would be good for a student of interior design.

Not very original. A re-hash of well known methods.

Published in 1969 this book is for those who would like to explore the possibilities of creative work with fabric and thread. It is not a how-to book in today's standard but is better utilized as a reference and inspiration source. I think it would be appreciated by art and design students.

Some of the painting techniques are a bit dated, but if you can get past that, there are some interesting designing ideas and instructions found within this book.

If you already read the ingredients and nutritional values of your food, this is not the book for you.


Feast of Sunlight: The Sumptuous Cusine of Key West's Master Chef
Review Date: 4/5/2007


"With 200 recipes, Van Akens cookbook gives the reader and the chef a whole new and imaginative perspective on cooking." - Chef2Chef.net

New World Cuisine by Chef Van Akens of Key West.
A little too rich for my tastes, as in "Caesar Salad Steak "Tartare"" and "Fricassee of Rabbit with Corn Cakes, Root Vegetables and Bell Pepper Cream".

Call me simple but I like my steaks cooked and my rabbits hopping..

If you are a new fan of the TV show "Cold Case Files", this is good book to compliment it. It recaps many of its previously aired shows.


Style on a Shoestring:  Simple Ideas for Fantastic Rooms
Review Date: 9/17/2010


I'd classify this as a nice inspiration and idea book. Don't look to this book for details. The cover says it includes 42 step by step instructions-They are very basic and rudimentary. If you are searching or youthful and trendy projects, this could be good source.
