› Find signed collectible books: 'Always a Bridesmaid: 89 Ways to Recycle That Bridesmaid Dress'Book summary:Like most bridesmaids, the author had a post-wedding problem: what to do with the expensive formal gown now languishing in her closet. With a gold-sequined top and gold lame floor-length skirt, it wasn't an outfit you'd throw on to go to the grocery store. Then again, she thought, maybe it was. Since 1989, Whitlinger has donned her bridesmaid dress at every imaginable opportunity. She has worn her gown for her passport photo, her driver's license, voting, white-water rafting, on a treadmill, skiing, parasailing, scuba diving, hot-air ballooning, and to play volleyball. She has also worn it into the Pittsburgh Steelers' locker room, to an alligator farm in Florida, the White House, and the Eiffel Tower. On every outing, a friend accompanies her to take a photograph documenting the appearance. It is these photos, along with written tips, that the book will collect together for the delight of every past and future bridesmaid. [via]

Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Cakes'Book summary:A man in Texas wrote to Maida Heatter looking for her Bullseye Cheesecake recipe; he and his wife had divorced, she had taken the recipe with her, and he was desperate for it! No wonder--it's a stunning work of art with its impossible-looking concentric circles of rich chocolate and vanilla-almond-flavored cheesecake. That recipe can be found here, along with other treats such as Chocolate Soufflé Cake, Boston Cream Pie, Florida Rum Cake, Kugelhopf, Swedish Leaf Cakes, Portuguese Sweet Walnut Bread, and West Indies Ginger Cake. Heatter, deemed "the legendary baking maven" by Food & Wine magazine, is a member of two cooking halls of fame: James Beard's and Chocolatier's. She has been cooking for decades and clearly indicates how to make classics perfect; she shares her tricks and tips freely like a good friend. (She swears by Philadelphia Brand cream cheese, for example.) She also steers clear of unusual or hard-to-find ingredients, even for the more exotic-sounding cakes. The book includes plain, chocolate, layer, and fancy cakes; cheese and nut cakes; yeast cakes and sweet breads; muffins, cupcakes, and gingerbreads; and ice cream and sauces. Simply divine. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Maida Heatter's Pies & Tarts'Book summary:There is no better way to impress a houseguest than with a dessert by Maida Heatter. While this is not a cookbook for beginners (some of the recipes run three pages in length), those who venture forth to try Heatter's masterpieces will not be disappointed. The Queen of Desserts, as she has been called for decades, has included handy cooking basics, from the best way to wash blueberries to how to tell if you really have a pint of strawberries (it will actually measure a quart and will weigh a pound). Her recipes are the stuff of heaven: Savannah Banana Pie with Macaroon Crust, Coffee and Cognac Cream Pie, Pear and Almond Tart, and Washington State Cherry Cobbler. Heatter's recipes, while on the longish side, are simple to follow. You'll pick up tips for making pies perfect and learn the difference between a buckle, a crisp, a cobbler, a crumble, and a betty. The book goes beyond tarts and pies to include other desserts such as bread puddings, flans, soufflés, ices, sorbets, and mousses. [via]

Over My Head: A Doctor's Own Story of Head Injury from the Iside Looking Outby Claudia L. OsbornISBN 0836254198 (0-8362-5419-8)
Hardcover, Andrews McMeel Pub
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Over My Head: A Doctor's Own Story of Head Injury from the Iside Looking Out'Book summary:Locked inside a brain-injured head looking out at a challenging world is the premise of this extraordinary autobiography, which describes the rebuilding of a shattered self. Since the author's view is unique and often wacky, dispel the notion that this story is either somber or a medical diary of ailments. It is, in fact, quite entertaining.
Over My Head could be to traumatic brain injury what Oliver Sacks' The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat is to neurology, or The Cracker Factory is to alcoholism recovery. It is a triumphant story about coming to terms with profound loss and rebuilding a happy, productive life. The author, a 42-year-old doctor and clinical professor of medicine, describes the aftermath of a brain injury nine years ago that stripped her of her beloved profession and her livelihood, and for years deprived her of intellectual companionship and the ability to handle the simplest undertakings including reading a book, shopping for groceries, or sorting the mail.
She finds help when she is admitted into the prominent Head Trauma Program, a part of the New York University Medical Center Rusk Institute.
Her progression from confusion, dysfunction, and alienation to a full, happy life is told with restraint, great style, and considerable humor. Scenes such as the great meltdown, her urology exam, her hilarious practice job, and a graduation luncheon at a Chinese restaurant with her rehabilitation peers will make you laugh out loud.
Just as powerful is the other side of her story -- coming to grips with what she and her eleven fellow trainees lost and can never have back. Through their daily adventures and struggles, we learn the effect of scrambled neurons in thatawesome computer called the brain.
In non-medical language, we are introduced to the process of rehabilitation and the techniques for coping with daily living. It is a story made all the more poignant because of the restraint in its telling, and the genuine absence of self-pity. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Total Hockey: The Official Encyclopedia of the National Hockey League'Book summary:Hockey has come a long way from its humble beginnings on the frozen ponds of Nova Scotia in the late 1700s. It has come so far, in fact, that many of its earliest practitioners may not recognize much of the game in the modern era. But the same thrilling combination of speed, strength, and skill that drew schoolboys onto the ice in the early days continues to pack arenas with hockey fans. Now, with the publication of the monster-sized Official Encyclopedia, every piece of information any dyed-in-the-wool hockey nut could ever hope to have is available. But you really don't have to be a stats junkie to welcome this excellent compendium. In fact, you don't have to know much about hockey at all, because the book covers everything--from the origins of the game on the lush fields of Ireland (surprisingly enough) to the 2006 Winter Olympics, and every imaginable point in between. Six thoroughly researched sections are broken down into more than 70 chapters covering the NHL and other North American leagues (including Junior, Minor, and Women's associations), international hockey, facets of the game, and yes--the number cruncher's most cherished friend--biographical and statistical information on just about anybody who ever touched a hockey stick. Make no mistake, this book is a load. Tuck it under your arm and you won't be going anywhere fast, but you'll go there well informed. --George Laney [via]
