› Find signed collectible books: 'Anne of Avonlea'Book summary:The Girl from Green Gables
It seemed only yesterday that the skinny, freckle-faced redhead had first come to the island. Now here was Anne, teaching at the Avonlea school, sixteen, pretty, and all grown up. Well, not quite grown up. In fact, Anne was not very different from her restless young pupils -- mischievous and spirited as ever and headed for hilarious predicaments with a cranky new neighbor, a hungry Jersey cow, a parrot with an embarrassing vocabulary, and a truly dreadful mistake!
The Anne Books
Delightful, unpredictable Anne Shirley has been charming readers of all ages, in every part of the world, for over three-quarters of a century. Bestsellers from the moment they were published, the Anne Of Green Gables novels have allowed generations of children to grow up right along with Anne. [via]

The Art of Mexican Cooking : Traditional Mexican Cooking for Aficionadosby Diana Kennedy, Michael Calderwood, Susana Martinez-OstosISBN 0553057065 (0-553-05706-5)
Hardcover, Bantam Books
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'The Art of Mexican Cooking : Traditional Mexican Cooking for Aficionados'Book summary:The Art of Mexican Cooking is the ultimate guide to creating sensational flavors of authentic Mexican food in your own kitchen. Her classic, The Cuisines of Mexico, established Diana Kennedy as the authority on Mexican cooking, and now she brings thirty-two years of living, traveling, and researching in Mexico to a dazzling masterpiece of culinary adventure. The Art of Mexican Cooking is a brilliant exploration of one of the world's truly great cuisine, including more than 200 extraordinary recipes, many for dishes previously unknown north of the border, as well as more than 50 evocative illustrations and 150 photographs.
These dishes, favorites throughout Mexico, range from sophisticated to pure and simple; all share an amazing depth of taste. Aficionados will go to great lengths to duplicate the authentic dishes (and Kennedy tells them exactly how), but here too there is a wealth of less complicated recipes for the casual cook who longs for the unmistakable flavors of soul-warming cuisine.
Kennedy shares the secrets of true Mexican flavor: balancing chile flavors with a little salt and acid, for instance, or charring them to round out their flavor; broiling tomatoes to bring out their character, or using cumin for a light accent. By using Kennedy's kitchen wisdom and advice and carefully selecting tropical produce that is now readily available in most American markets, American cooks can at last serve truly authentic Mexican food.

Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'The Delia Collection Soup'Book summary:Soup, part of Delia Smith's four-volume The Delia Collection is, in some ways, the most interesting volume in the series. The image of soup has undergone something of a transformation in recent years. This most unglamorous of foods has become a chic accoutrement of many a dinner party, and the possibilities of soup are now seen as many and varied.
As in other volumes in the series, Delia divides her recipes seasonally and the variety of soups available here is surprisingly wide. In spring, Delia presents such basics as Carrot and Coriander Soup (although her recipe may hold some surprises, even if you count this soup in your repertoire), alongside more ambitious recipes such as Shiitake Broth with Sesame Toast (this is a light soup that is not too calorie-heavy, made with Japanese miso stock and dried shiitake mushrooms). Summer sports some unusual and tempting recipes such as Chilled Almond Soup (called Ajo Blanco here) for which Delia dispenses with what might be seen as almost cursory instructions. But this is the secret of the four books in The Delia Collection: not a word is wasted, and adjectives are kept to an absolute minimum: after all, we know we can rely on Delia to pick only the most interesting recipes. For autumn, there's a piquant Wild Mushroom and Walnut Soup, perfect for the colder weather, while winter has such delights as Slow-cooked Root Vegetable Soup and The London Particular (which is, in fact, yellow split pea soup). Whether you buy individual volumes of The Delia Collection or all four books (much the best course of action!), your kitchen library will be enriched. --Barry Forshaw [via]

Entertaining Light: Healthy Company Menus With Great Styleby Martha Rose ShulmanISBN 0553071505 (0-553-07150-5)
Hardcover, Bantam Dell Pub Group
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Entertaining Light: Healthy Company Menus With Great Style'Book summary:Martha Rose Shulman is famous for her supper clubs, where she entertains up to 25 paying guests at a time in her apartment in Paris. But, as she points out, if she has even one guest for dinner (and he's not trying to sell her something), she's entertaining. An enthusiastic advocate for healthy eating, Shulman describes her attitude towards entertaining as "light on the pocketbook as well as the arteries."
With years of catering, teaching, and grand-scale entertaining behind her, Shulman is the perfect person to turn to when you have company coming. The key, as she explains in her introduction, is organization. Every recipe includes an Advanced Preparation note, in which she describes what part of it can be made ahead and when. And her instructions are so precise--down to the number of minutes to sauté the first ingredient before adding the second and how many minutes to do this before your guests arrive--that you'll always feel confident that you are prepared. The first section of the book is dedicated to hors d'oeuvres, and it begins with a list of "aperitifs," basically a terrific list of recommended wines for pouring while your guests are nibbling. To keep the party moving, Shulman suggests that all hors d'oeuvres should be able to be eaten with one hand. The almost 50 recipes that follow ensure that your guests will never need to put down their drinks. And with recipes such as Spicy Zucchini Purée on Red Pepper Pieces, Tuna or Salmon and Horseradish Tartare, and Crackers with Goat Cheese Spread and Sun-Dried Tomatoes, your guests won't know that they're watching their fat and calories.
Shulman follows generally accepted healthful guidelines, but notes that this is not a diet cookbook. Rather, she keeps fat to a minimum--with the emphasis on flavor--avoids rich meats, and serves a lot of fish and fresh vegetables. Her menus are well-rounded and there's no chance that anyone will leave hungry. Some of her menus are more elaborate, such as An Elegant April Sit-Down Dinner, which starts with a Pinot d'Alsace, then Dried Porcini Soup with Tarragon Bruschette, followed by Asparagus and Herb Lasagne, Savory Baked Tomatoes, and Simple Salad of Arugula and Lamb's Lettuce. For dessert, there's Rhubarb, Honey, and Blood Orange Sorbet and a bottle of Tokay Pinot Gris d'Alsace. For those of us easily intimidated, she has wonderful, friendly menus such as A Simple Menu for Friends, which starts with a Piperade au Basilic (a Provençal dish of peppers, onions, eggs, garlic, and basil) and Christine's Baked New Potatoes, followed by a Tossed Green Salad (with a wide array of vinaigrettes to choose from), and then Apricot Tart for dessert. Whatever your occasion, Shulman has a menu for you that will leave both you and your guests smiling. --Leora Y. Bloom [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Letters from the Hive: An Intimate History of Bees, Honey, And Humankind'Book summary:They work hard, are devoted to family, love sex, and know the importance of a good piece of real estate. Honey bees, and the daily workings of their close-knit colonies, are one of nature's great miracles. And they produce one of nature's greatest edible bounties: honey. More than just a palate pleaser, honey was once an offering to the gods, a preservative, and a medicine whose sought-after curative powers were detailed in ancient texts . . . and are being rediscovered by modern medical science.
In Letters from the Hive, Prof. Stephen Buchmann takes us into the hive--nursery, honey factory, queen's inner sanctum--and out to the world of backyard gardens, open fields, and deserts in full bloom, where the age-old sexual dance between flowers and bees makes life on earth as we know it possible. Hailed for their hard work, harmonious society, and, mistakenly, for their celibacy, bees have a link to our species that goes beyond biology. In Letters from the Hive, Buchmann explores the fascinating role of bees in human culture and mythology, following the "honey hunters" of native cultures in Malaysia, the Himalayas, and the Australian Outback as they risk life and limb to locate a treasure as valuable as any gold.
To contemplate a world without bees is to imagine a desolate place, culturally and biologically, and Buchmann shows how with each acre of land sacrificed to plow, parking lot, or shopping mall, we inch closer to what could become a chilling reality. He also offers honey-based recipes, cooking tips, and home remedies--further evidence of the gifts these creatures have bestowed on us.
Told with wit, wisdom, and affection, and rich with anecdote and science, Letters from the Hive is nature writing at its best. This is natural history to be treasured, a sweet tribute that buzzes with life.

› Find signed collectible books: 'Nutrition: Concepts and Controversies'Book summary:NUTRITION: CONCEPTS AND CONTROVERIES, TENTH EDITION focuses on nutrition principles and their application while offering outstanding coverage of the biological foundations of nutrition without assuming previous knowledge of them. With its new design, contemporary coverage, and engaging writing style, it remains the leading Nutrition text for the non-majors or mixed majors/non-majors introductory course. Drawing readers into the study of nutrition, the authors have created a number of learning tools that are both appealing and accessible. From the chapter content and new "Do You Ever?" sections to the "Food Feature" boxes and end-of-chapter "Controversies," students find the information they need to better understand important nutrition concepts and to make informed and responsible decisions about their own nutrition. Additionally, the "Do It" activities, now available online, on the student CD-ROM, and in a free booklet that can be packaged with the text, students can practice applying their nutrition knowledge. There is also the accompanying NUTRITION CONNECTIONS CD-ROM, a unique resource that includes animations, chapter quizzes, a comprehensive glossary, "Do It!" activities, and Web links. For instructors, we offer a newly redesigned Multimedia Manager that includes PowerPoint® slides, animations, videos, and test questions. We also offer a new JoinIn? on TurningPoint®, a classroom resource to assess students' knowledge, take attendance, and more. So, whether looking for a text full of up-to-date information, a text that students enjoy reading, a text that offers a robust supplements package, or a text that can engage students and get them excited about studying, NUTRITION CONCEPTS AND CONTROVERSIES is the text for you!

The Pickwick Papersby Charles DickensISBN 0553211234 (0-553-21123-4)
Softcover, Bantam Classic & Loveswept
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'The Pickwick Papers'Book summary:The high-spirited work of a young Dickens, The Pickwick Papers is the remarkable first novel that made its author famous and that has remained one of the best-known books in the world. In it the inimitable Samuel Pickwick, his well-fed body and unsinkable good spirits clad in tights and gaiters, sallies forth through the noisy streets of London and into the colorful country inns of rural England for a series of sparkling encounters with love and misadventure. From the wit of cockney bootblack Sam Weller to the unforgettable Fat Boy and rascals like the amorous Mr. Jingle and the unscrupulous lawyers Dodson and Fogg, The Pickwick Papers reels with joyous fantasy, infectious good humor, and a touch of the macabrea classic work that G. K. Chesterton called the great example of everything that made Dickens great&[a] supreme masterpiece. [via]
