1. I really like this book. It is so simple to understand. It has real life photographs showing exactly how to do it yourself. I am a woman and find it hard to find a book that makes it so simple. It is well worth it's price considering the money you save by doing it yourself. I checkeed it out at the library but will be purchasing my own for sure!

1. Great car, great book and I want to buy the first copy when it's reprinted! Publishers: hint, hint.



2. Anyone who is serious about the classic cars made between the two world wars knows that the Alfa Romeo 8C 2900 stands out as one of the all time greats. In fact Phil Hill, the first American to win the world Formula One championship back in 1961, stated that he thought this was the greatest car built before WWII. It was also the fastes road car built before the war, with a top speed of over 140 mph.
   
   Simon Moore has written a book more than worthy of these great cars. Not only does he trace the history of the car and get into the details behind its design, he actually devotes a full chapter to each and every single model ever made. (There were somewhere between 40 and 50.) The title of each chapter is the serial number of the individual car. He has photos of what the car looked like when new (no two cars were identical), how it changed over the years, and what it looks like today (provided that it still exists, which the vast majority of them do). Mr. Moore was able to track down all but about 4 or 5 of the cars. He has the extra added distinction of being the owner of one of them.
   
   When this book first came out, it won various awards of excellence. It is now one of the most sought after automotive books ever written. I'm glad I bought one when it was new.

1. Salvage Style is the perfect book for anyone with a passion for recycling and a love of beautiful, creative things. It features gorgeous, decorator-style photos that provide plenty of inspiration, but it balances them with a wealth of information about the importance of reusing perfectly good materials and the process of doing so. All of the projects have detailed, step-by-step directions---complete with photos for the more visually minded folks out there---and most of them are easy to replicate. If you're looking to expand your mind and look at common materials in a new light, this book will fan the fires of your creativity in ways you never imagined!



2. A lot of the home decor books that come out have beautiful plans, that are virtually impossible for the average person to accomplish. This is not the case with Salvage Style in Your Home. All of the projects they show are not only easy, but very pretty too!

   The pictures and instructions are very user friendly, and easy to follow. And the items that they use are not hard to find. It's not like when you watch a home decorating show and you think," I love how that looks, but where do I find it!? " The book uses things like slate roof tiles and axe handles to create the most appealing things. I mean, when you see how they use and old shutter to make a cd rack you will be amazed!

   Salvage Style for Your Home is every frugal home decorator's dream book! It's a book of inspiration and I highly suggest you give it a read!




3. This book is a very good guide to recycling old items and creating new uses for them. Environmentalists everywhere will certainly appreciate the reuse of older items. The book is illustrated very well and the photographs are nicely done.
