Description:
Review: "A remarkable, laugh-out-loud book." - The New York Times.From back cover: "When George Hodgman leaves Manhattan for his hometown of Paris, Missouri, he finds himself - an unlikely caretaker and near-lethal cook in a head-on collusion with his aging mother, Betty, a woman of wit and will." George can't bring himself to force her from the home both treasure. Betty speaks her mind, but can't quite reveal her heart, and has never really accepted the fact that her son is gay."Hodgman reveals the challenges of Betty's life and his own struggle for self-respect... The result is both an indelible portrait of a family and an exquisitely told tale of a prodigal son's return."Good Condition. Spine is uncreased. Some edge and corner wear, light stains on top and page edges. Text is clean. Cover is not "slick". A good readable copy. Please see photos.278 pages including Acknowledgments.

Description:
From back cover: "Applique is painting with fabric. Your needle and thread become your brush, and the fabric becomes your paint." - Kathy Delaney. This book is a definitive guide to doing hand applique. It covers instruction, tools, and proper stitch, then offers hints for creating the blocks. Lots of instructional photographs. All of the patterns are flowers in hearts. The patterns in the book appear to be full size. From the photos, it appears that Kathy traces the pattern onto a clear vinyl in order to transfer it to the fabric.The book also has an Index of Patterns that gives the year the pattern was published in the Kansas City Star (since 1928).Condition: Very Good. Very slight bumping on back cover. Soft crease on top front corner. Very minimal edge wear. Spine is NOT creased, and the pages are clean and tight - as if the book was never used. Please use photos as part of the description. 126 pages including Index.

Description:
From the Publishers' Note on the Fifth Printing: "In the past few years, it has become increasingly clear that a wholesome approach to sex education is gradually replacing the pruriency that used to be prevalent. It is gratifying to observe this trend. The publishers hope that this book, now in its fifth printing, will continue to be of use to those seeking reliable sex information.Fair condition. Stapled booklet with orange card stock covers with black text. Covers show much soiling, tears, holes, and chips. The back cover has shifted toward the stapled spine so it no longer lays quite right. First page has inscription in ink. Front and back pages have age spotting, maybe from the covers. Surprisingly the rest of the pages (except the stapled center pages) are very clean and the stapled booklet is intact.Please use photos as part of the description.61 pages.
