I grew up in Orange county in the 50"s & 60"s , I thought this would be a great present for my brother, we were both dissapointed in the amount of information that it contained. However the shipping from vendor was quick.

If I had not had to read this book as part of a class assignment I would have thrown it away halfway into the first chapter. I had been asked to write a 25 page book report on this book. That would have required me to write out the book verbatim and add even more fluff than was already in the book. I believe it was chapter seven that was nothing more than a chapter long advertisement for A Beka Books. I had to plead with my professor, who I do not believe has ever read this book, to allow me to only write a ten page report and add the other 15 pages onto another report that I had been assigned. DO NOT waste your money or your time!

This coffeemaker makes a great cup of coffee, and looks very stylish- BUT- the pot dribble everytime you pour. If you buy one, keep it next to the sink and a supply of paper towels!

I highly recommend this machine, but be careful when you pour--coffee tends to dribble down the side if it's not tilted juuust right......and if you're looking for the PERFECT CUP OF COFFEE, go find a tin of D'Aquino Italian Espresso coffee (mostly available on the west coast). It is sublime.

Kristy runs for class president, and gets wrapped up, as usual. She forgets about stuff, makes a big deal out of little things, and most of all, she's rude to her friend Pete Stone. He's also running for president. I thought this book was not going to be a good one at first, but it's ok. Kristy finally realizes that winning's not all that counts. Friends like Pete and the Baby-sitters club is most important.This did turn out to be a good book. Don't let the beginning make u not read it.

Kristy wantedto be president but in the end she didn't want to be at all. Ann why like that?
