A great journal!
My best friend gave me this journal for Christmas '04, and I've been using it since. I absolutely love it! The paper is a nice weight, and the wire-o binding is great for opening the book all the way up. My only problem is trying to find a suitable replacement, as I've almost filled up the one I have. ...

Practical GMAW (MIG) and GTAW (TIG) Welding made Easy
This book is divided into two seperate and distinct sections, one covering all aspects of GMAW and the other the GTAW welding process.If your interest is purely in joining metals rather than weld specifications and metallurgy, this is the book for you.It covers everything from specific machine setup, gas pressures and welding techniques to the shade of eyeshield lens that should be used.There are also dedicated sections on weld defects and probable causes which assist in overcoming welding technique and equipment setup faults.I found the book to be excellent value for money and to contain most of the useful information found in other books available on this subject, presented in a format that does not require the reader to wade through pages of text to find the information required.If the GMAW and GTAW processes are new to you and you have previous Oxy-Acetylene and/or Arc welding experience, this book is a must. ...

Classic Children's Story from bygone years
Water Babies is a story that nearly all children with access to books before 1960 would have encountered. Beautifully written - usuallyexcellently illustrated - with a whimsical story line provoking young imaginations in the same way as Wind in the Willows.
Even older children and today's parents might review the book to consider giving their young ones of today a taste of a bygone literay gem.

Classic Fairytale
I loved the movie when I was little, now I have the book to read to my own child.

Annotated edition of "Water Babies"
Handsome new edition annotated with the latest scholarship reflecting Charles Kingsley's acceptance of Darwinian thought.Highly recommended.

Beautiful story, beautiful book.
Reading this really makes you want to get away, just like Tom does in the story. Although this is sort of a longish fairy tale, it is delightful and intriguing. For me, though, this book's biggest selling point is the illustrations by Warwick Goble. As a fairy tale fan, I first came across Goble in The Moon Maiden and Other Japanese Fairy Tales, where all the color illustrations are in the middle of the book. Here, they are sprinkled throughout the book, more closely accompanying the story, and adding that much more to the reader's enjoyment. While the text is crisply printed on stone-white paper, the color illustrations have a glossy finish that really makes them pop. Old and young should derive plenty of satisfaction from this book.

Just a beautiful tale
I read this book nearly half a century ago in my native England, then I read it to my American step daughter, and saw the same sense of wonder and delight in her face that I probably had on mine.It taught me Karma, it taught me the value of home, that kindness can be a gift; and it still provides the subtitles to emotions I feel today - "to the sea, to the sea".Perhaps it struck a chord with me, the father of another man's child, rereading Tom's struggles to find his way without a parent.It was a sweet return. ...
