New York: Global Liaisons, 1995. "A Musical Feast: Recipes from over 100 of the world's most famous artists" was compiled by Wendy Diamond to benefit the homeless. It is a September 1995 first edition in mint As New condition. The book has hardbound pictorial boards with no dust jacket, as originally issued, and measures 8 1/4 by 10 1/4, with 114 pages. See photo. Pig out on such desserts as Madonna's Cholesterol Cherry Torte or Tim McGraw's Peanut Butter Kiss Cookies or Randy Travis's favorite Oreo Cheesecake. Melissa Etheridge's Red Bean and Rice Soup is to die for, while the Grateful Dead's Smoked Corn Chowder could put hair on even a deadhead's head! Compare the chili recipes of Johnny Cash, The Charlie Daniels Band, Hootie and the Blowfish, The Jayhawks, Paul and Linda McCartney (vegetarian), and Travis Tritt. As for breads, Peter, Paul and Mary's Jalapeno Maize will water your eyes in the morning, as will Tracy Lawrence's Jalapeno Hush Puppies. Frank Sinatra's Italian Chicken, Potato, and Onion Dish is easy to prepare and sinfully delicious, as is Billy Ray Cyrus's garlic-flavored Steak in a Brown Bag. Cher's special Tuna Pasta would be great for picnics. And if you're in the mood for something a bit heavier, you can't find an Irish Stew more authentic than the one provided here by The Chieftans. If you like Indian food, Mick Jagger's Shrimp Curry is mouth-watering and goes nicely with Aerosmith's Vegetable Vindaloo. In short, if you've ever wanted to eat like a star, this is your chance!. First Edition. Hard Cover. New/No Jacket. 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall., Global Liaisons, 1995, Sterling Pub Co Inc, 10/01/97 12:00 AM. Hardcover. Very Good. 0806998253 From Library Journal These two books cover several aspects of working with greeting cards. Sienkiewicz, author of several books on applique for quilters (Applique 12 Easy Ways!, C & T, 1991), provides instructions for handmade cards containing cloth cutouts "appliqued" to paper with fusible plastic bonding. Her projects take the form of "lessons" of increasing complexity with full-size patterns and instructions. Each lesson includes a gallery of photos of similar finished cards made by artists. The cards are in "country" style with a very professional finish, and are certain to become keepsakes. Lawrence takes a different approach to greeting cards, using them as raw material for making and decorating household items of all kinds. This book is crammed with projects, several to a page, with very small color illustrations. The quality of the material really deserves a larger format. However the instructions are good, and the book is full of ideas for dealing with those accumulations of cards that are just too nice to throw away. Copyright 1998 Reed Business Information, Inc. From Booklist Chapelle seems to be the arts and crafts equivalent of a Disney, with mainly anonymous artisans turning out dozens of projects for the mass market. In fact, the studio often creates a new niche--as is the case with the more than 300 adaptations for old greeting cards. Both small areas and large items, from a fridge notepad to the sweet dreams chair, are covered with this modern-day version of decoupage. Ideas tumble one after another, explained in a how-to format resembling a recipe, with ingredients listed first, extremely brief instructions, and "in other words" (variations on the first project). The clarity of the directions is, unfortunately, obscured by a confusing and cramped layout and constant references to the up-front "general instructions." Although color photographs of finished projects do guide readers somewhat, they are less than 100 percent helpful because of poor reproduction quality. A cachepot of craftables for anyone.

The Lyons Press, 11/01/00 12:00 AM. Hardcover. Very Good. 158574204X Amazon Review Banishing clutter is a noble objective, but far easier said than done. If your possessions are overflowing, your space is limited, and your imagination is stymied, turn to The Storage Book for clever ideas on neatening up every room in the house, plus the yard and garage. Stylish photos and sensible text provide countless hints on finding, adapting, and/or making interesting containers, shelving, cabinets, and other items to organize, camouflage, or highlight all kinds of stuff. An array of handwoven baskets on open shelves, a rustic pine peg rail, a compartmentalized display platform, a stack of decorative hatboxes, a series of neatly tailored canvas sacks hung on a dowel--there are plenty of ways to sort things attractively in the open, as well as many more that utilize store-bought or custom-built storage items. There are also 12 step-by-step projects, from fabric-covered boxes to a roll-around bin to a pocketed shower curtain. --Amy Handy --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
