Makes a great bridal shower gift!
I received this book as an engagement gift and loved it! It has space for recording (via text and pictures) memories of courtship, engagement, wedding plans, ceremony and festivities as well as the honeymoon and first home. And each year I add a couple lines of text in the space provided to record what we've done on subsequent wedding anniversaries. It's a very special book and has become my favorite gift to give at bridal showers. The reactions of the brides I've given it to have been just as enthusiastic! (5stars!)

Synopsis
This guide explains what is required by law and what can be individually tailored to meet a couple's particular preferences and circumstances. It will enable couples to personalize their vows, select their own readings and prayers, and include children of previous marriages where appropriate.

The author, Rowena Edlin-White , 29 November, 1999
This book, though based upon the Church of England wedding service, draws from the richness of other denominations, faiths and cultures, suggesting original readings, music and symbolic rituals to make your wedding really special. Whether you intend marrying in church, register office or another kind of venue altogether, there is something here for you! For example, because readings used in a civil ceremony may not have religious titles or content, we have supplied some meaningful alternatives. Many people may be marrying again, or already have children when they marry - there are items to be inserted into the service which recognise those things and include the whole family. Think you can't afford to get married? Here are some affordable ideas which will in no way diminish the importance of the occasion. Lots of practical help too about who does what, who to contact and what is possible (or impossible!) and a handy check-list to use as the big day comes closer.

Excellent historic document of a modern grand prix
This is a book of pictures taken at a few grand prix wekeends during the 1998 season. It gives the reader an excellent look, often from the view of the spectator at a modern grand prix.

The great contrast between the "poor" spectators and the drivers and teams in one of the richest sports in the world is even more obvious when all pictures in the book is black and white. Every picture in this book feels like a frame taken from the "movie" of reality and preserved for all to see, now and in the future. Some pictures are pure art and could well hang on my wall in a big frame. Some photos are really of our time, and some could well have been taken 20 years ago. Some things dont change, much.

The only negative bit about this book is that there is not a single photo in colour. Some might say that this gives the book even more "feel". As i fairly seasoned amature photographer i think that both formats have its place in the art of photography. I think that considering all the time and money spent on modern cars paintscheme to make it look good on tv and film, this is a part of the era of formula one missed in this book.

But, apart from that, it´s a must have. Buy it. Now.

Mole returns still clutching his morals
A great return to the mole series. I could not put this book down. It turned out perhaps a bit more serious than the previous mole books but Adrian returns still a bit out of the loop and yet endearing. The only complaint I have is that I wish he would get over haughty Pandora. Truly, however, a fantastic return!!!

wonderful plot twist when Adrian becomes a celebrity chef
Wonderful plot twist in Adrian's life when he becomes a celebrity chef ("but I can't cook!") in London with his own cooking show. I was very down when I started reading this but I laughed out loud when I got to the very end of the book. Same old bad judgment with women. Previous reviewers have complained that Adrian is still the same old guy with the same old problems. Well, from the perspective of age 50, I can tell you it's pretty realistic that despite all efforts our basic characters may not change all that much. I have great faith in Adrian. I hope someday he'll publish a monstrous best seller called "A Yob's Life", the main character of which will be (of course) Kent Barry.

Book Information
"The Harry Potter books have become a phenomenon... parents squabble over who gets to read them to the kids, and teachers say a chapter can silence the most rowdy of classes. --The Guardian

"JK Rowling has woken up a whole generation to reading. In the 2020's thirty-something book-lovers will know each other by smug references to Diagon Alley and Quidditch." -- The Times

"Children's play at Harry Potter: the ultimate compliment" --The Scotsman

"Rowling's first title Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone started a cult. The emergence of each of the remaining books in the projected series of seven deserves to become a major annual event. Rowling creates a complete and perfect world." --The Times

"But where the Harry Potter books move into a class above the general run is in their handling of fear and loss. The emotional heart of the first book lies in Harry's longing for the parents he never knew. The Harry Potter stories will join that small group of children's books which are read and reread into adulthood. I imagine that the number of readers waiting impatiently for the next instalment grows by the day." --The TLS

Simply the best
It really is the most useful wine guide on the market and fantastic present for anyone whether they know their wines or not. It's guide to what to expect from any wine and which year to buy is something I've so far found infallible. Buy it.
