Customer Review: The best yet
I have just been given this wonderful book and am having trouble holding on to it. All my friends want to disappear with it. It is the best gardening bible I have had.The information is first rate and it has fantastic photography!
Customer Review: My favourite plant book
Loving this book but there are down sides! Im not sure about the way its layed out. The book is split into two sections the first is layed out in a strange mix of plant type and flower colour. The second is the description etc that is layed out in the normal alphabetical way. Still all the excellent colour pictures make up for any bad points.

The elaborately packaged Salival is a reminder of how creative and powerful the hard rock group Tool can be. One disc of this deluxe two-disc set serves up 74 minutes (eight songs) of live material and outtakes; the other offers a VHS compilation of Tool’s four grotesquely artistic videos plus the bonus clip, “Hush”, from their 1992 “Opiate” EP. Although there’s little that’s new here, it’s put together with as much intensity and attention to detail as the quartet’s other releases. The musical high point is the driving but delicate take on “Pushit”. It’s also entertaining to hear singer Maynard James Keenan in a Neil Young kind of mood on “Lame”. –Janiss Garza

Customer Review: quick, but it before its too late…
Having shelled out on this on import i was always going to be biased towards this album, but im ecstatic so say that it didn’t disappoint me in the slightest. As usual Maynards gorgeous vocals add to the powerful music. Every song it a treat, with the possible exception of “LAMC” (but that the point of the song!). clearly yht best thing on the CD is “No Quarter” and the amazing version of “Pushit”. The videos are so artfully and amazingly well done they stand up to repeated viewings, with the standout “Stinkfist” being the most obvious. As this band have progressed they have gone to strength to strength, with this closing one chapter of Tool’s career, it was the perfect prelude to the majest that was “Lateralus”. You have to buy it. Now!!
Customer Review: A stopgap, but still the best thing in ages.
I’ll admit it. I’m an absolute Tool *fantatic*. I first heard them in New Zealand (where you can actually - shock, horror - hear them on the radio!), and saw them live out there in 1997. In my book Aenima is a good contender for best album of the 90s, and Undertow and Opiate are impressive too. As for Salival? Well, you KNOW you’re being suckered into buying a load of stuff you’ve heard before, but I really didn’t care. The live version of Pushit is fantastic, and it’s nice to hear You Lied in a decently recorded form at last (bootlegs having been available for years). The clear high-point in my book is No Quarter though - somehow they managed to sound enough like Led Zeppelin for the song to sound authentic, while still maintaining their own identity. Well done! Admittedly, Salival isn’t an album I’m going to be playing front-to-back for the next five years (like I have with Aenima), but it’s a great album to dip into. And the video content is always good, if you don’t mind the fact that they’re a little “inspired” by the Brothers Quay. The one thing that bugs me about this album, really, is the fact that the release delay is absolutely typical of the UK. What is it with this county? If people aren’t out there buying disturbingly bad CDs like Hear’Say or Robbie Williams then they’re being “alternative” and buying Limp Bizkit! The more transparent the marketing ploy, the more desperate people in the UK seem to be to buy something?!? I’m confused. Ah well. Buy this CD, and take some small consolation that you can still get music like this over here. It won’t last. (And a note for any drummers who might happen to read this: Just get the album. Danny Carey is one of the most underrated players in rock today)

Customer Review: A book for the experienced and beginner alike.
I have a few years experience of doing traditional upholstery. I found this book gave me a fresh insight into upholstery as a very personal art form. The writer really knows how to enthuse the reader with the creative spirit. This book is not some dry and dusty manual on how to do it. This book treats upholstery as a fine art, and encourages experimentation, whilst warning against those things she has found do not work artistically. A good book for the creative artist wanting to express their feeling in some original upholstery. This book is going to make a big difference in my home!
Customer Review: A book that will last for years
This is the first time I have bought a book specifically about upholstery. I was delighted to have a list of relevant books to choose from and selected this one of the basis of disappointing or no reviews for other books in this section, that it was English (UK) rather than English (US) and… the cover looked lurverly, though they do say.. don’t judge a book by …..”. However, this book has not disappointed. I’d say this was a book for the beginner, but it contains enough inspiration to last through the years as you progress through and tackle the series of more and more advanced projects (10 in all, from drop-in seat to Chesterfield). The book begins with a potted history of upholstery, illustrated with examples of furniture in art from the 17C and goes on to describe tools, equipment, materials - all well described. The lovely illustrations and text with which the various stages of upholstery are described are excellent and even I, a complete beginner, found the early stages in the process very familiar and recognisable. The advanced stages are every bit as easy to understand and there are useful lists of suppliers of fabric and tools, and a glossary of terms.Described as a “Practical Guide to Upholstering Traditional Furniture”, it is comprehensive and will serve as a good clear reference, as it’s well written in digestable sections. If I have a critisism it is that, the notes accompanying some the photographs drew my attention away from the text from time to time - but still, that probably says more about me than the book !
