Customer Reviews:

Excellent book on Vista.......2007-06-13

You don't have to spend much time with Windows Vista to know you need a good reference book. This book fills the bill. It is unfortunate, however, that the screen shots are so small. The book is large as it is, and I know that larger illustrations would increase the size, but I still feel the screen shots should have been larger.

Captain Caveman-Been into Computers since DOS 3.0.......2007-06-12

This book is Not for NEWBIES, but if you have used Windows 95,98,Me,or XP, then this is the book you need. Start reading at the beginning and try the different approaches to Vista on your computer is the best method to get the most out of this book. But if you are like me, I just read, underline, and hilite what I did not know or was unfamiliar with, then apply this new knowledge when I sit down at my computer. I use the book quite often to find programs and change settings that seem hidden and undocumented, and you will too. You will find the book quite entertaining and extremely useful, especially the triangle shape " Secrets ". BUY AND APPLY!

A book for newbies ..........2007-06-03

This is everything but a tech book, most of what is inside can be discovered by anyone who's a literate computer user. It's full of screen capture of Vista usage, but if you're new to computer and need a step by step guide to understand what you can do in Vista, this can be a solution ... If you're literate or an ITpro, forget it.

Windows Vista Secrets.......2007-05-21

Easy to read and informative. I am not a geek so it was important to me to be able to follow along with what the author was saying. I can do that with this book.

A great reference.......2007-05-20

This is the book for anyone who is trying to learn the new Vista. A wonderful understandable reference.

For energetic toddlers (are there any who aren't?), here's a book that invites them to wiggle along with the story. Told in rollicky, wiggly rhyme that begs to be read again and again, Doreen Cronin's latest romp will have toddlers wiggling, giggling, and then (hopefully) falling into bed, blissfully exhausted!

When viewing the magnificent floral forms that Candace Kling creates, it's sometimes hard to believe that they are actually pleated, gathered, ruched, and twisted ribbons--not the real thing. Her gorgeous ribbon flowers appear to be extremely intricate and complicated, but her extensive directions and diagrams take the mystery out of recreating everything from roses to pansies to poppies to daffodils. After nearly two decades of researching antique ribbon work, her knowledge of vintage pieces is evident in much of her work and in her finely tuned sense of color. The many photos of vintage ribbon-work flowers, not to mention those of her own artistry, are themselves worth the price of the book.

If you've been laboring under the illusion that your grandmother just smashed berries into a jar or that pickles grew on exotic pickle trees, prepare to be enlightened with Linda J. Amendt's Blue Ribbon Preserves: Secrets to Award-Winning Jams, Jellies, Marmalades & More. Canning, as shown in this exhaustive edition, is as much a science as an art, and this book includes every detail to educate the uninformed on what it takes to make great preserves.

Her recipes include the standards, such as strawberry jam, and the obscure, such as Garlic and Onion Jam. Amendt also does the public service of explaining the real difference between jams and jellies. Special caution about food safety holds a prominent place in Blue Ribbon Preserves and Amendt teaches us how to chose optimal foods for canning as well as how to safely store preserves to avoid potentially lethal food contamination. Be prepared for a bit of a chemistry lesson, which can be a long and sometimes didactic read, but it's well worth it for the critical food-safety information.

So complete is the book that Amendt, herself a recipient of countless state-fair awards for her preserves, includes pointers on how to succeed at such competitions (in a very thorough chapter which includes insights into how judges pick their winners). Blue Ribbon Preserves covers everything that goes into a ball jar and more, and in the process earns not only a tight seal of quality but its own blue ribbon. --Teresa Simanton

Book Description

Blue Ribbon Preserves features the award-winning recipes, canning tips, and methods for making preserves that have made Linda J. Amendt one of the top prize-winning cooks in the nation. This handy and helpful volume explains how to make the finest jams, jellies, marmalades, preserves, conserves, butters, curds, fruit, vegetables, juices, sauces, pickles, vinegars, syrups, and specialty preserves. Plus, it has a complete canning guide with the latest methods and safety precautions.
