Renaissance music comes alive!
Finally, a Renaissance dance music compilation that allows the music to live. That is, wonderful melodies simmering with great harmony and rhythm. Along with country dances, one finds Morris tunes, courtly tunes and Celtic mainstays such as Road to Lisdoonvarna and Blarney Pilgrim/Banish Misfortune (not to mention a great drinking song featuring the virtuoso belchpipes of a ripe mandolin player). There are 23 dances pieces on this CD and each one will have you moving! Check out the free downloads for this album and find out why this album comes highly recommended.
Below usual standard
I like the C. Muffin series, but this book does not live up to the usual standard where there is very little violence and a lot of outsmarting each other.In this book there is more violence than usual, torture even which I personally find unnecessary and somewhat tasteless.Also, the description of Charlie's smarts seems postulated as if the author has tired with it and believes that since reader already knows how smart Charlie is, he doesn't need to come up with story lines that support it.
100 Years of Vintage Watches: Identification and Price Guide
Disappointing. Little if any information about European and English watches. Misleading title should be call American watches and a few others.Unless you are into American watches - a waste of time and money
A nice coffee table book.
The book has thousands of pictures of watches, mostly pocket ones. However, it does not cover the history of such watches It's just a picture timetable of watch development.
'if it ain't broke...'
Shugart's 'Price Guide' has received some flack in Amazon's past reviews. However flawed, it's still the gold standard for valuing timepieces. I found Judy's book both disjointed in its organization, and naive in its assessment of watch pricing. Bottom line; if you're looking for a coffee table book with some pretty pictures, '100 Years of Vintage Watches' will fit the bill. If you buy, sell, or collect watches, stick with Shugart.
I couldn't put it down!
Dean Judy has hit the bull's-eye with 100 Years of Vintage Watches, A Collector's Identification & Price Guide. Unlike Shugart's reference, Judy has written a book that will appeal to everyone who has an interest in, not only collecting watches, but appreciating the visual beauty of a bygone era. The illustrations are nothing short of phenomenal.
