Comprehensive and easy to do.......2007-05-19
This book is excellent. It is easy to understand, cheap to implement, comprehensive, and effective. The book covers maintenance as well as storage. I wish my ancestors had been able to access to this book.

I don't need this book. I thought it was a book on saving things that don't matter, or that does matter. Files, odds and ends. I needed a organizer of house items Its primarlily antiques.

"The most comprehensive book on preserving every type of collectible..." Don Williams, Senior Conservator of the Smithsonian Institution, has written a concise volume dealing with how to preserve everything from baseball cards to furniture. Easy to understand preservation practices. No hard to understand museum jargon. An excellent work for anyone who collects anything or the small museum.
ALEX SHELDON...THAT LITTLE DEVIL!.......2005-11-10
I absolutely loved this BRILLIANT book! I am a long time antiquer/yardsaler and I found the book extrodinarily useful! I have been able to preserve things i never thought possible, like my grilled cheese sandwich with the virgin mary on it! I also learned to never keep valuable coins in a jar where my daughter may be able to reach them and turn them into Coinstart (that silly hooligan). This is definately one of my top 3.14 books of all time! IT IS A MUST READ FOR THE AGES!
PS. YAY FOR SCHOOL AND BOO TO CRYSTAL METH!

A superior atmospheric historical mystery.......2004-02-25
Josiah Beede, "Boy Hero of New Orleans" who fought at the side of Andrew Jackson in the Battle of New Orleans, is a farmer in New England in the year 1837. He accompanies his freed slave and now friend, Randolph, to New Orleans in an effort to locate and free Randolph's wife Louisa. Meanwhile, Louisa decides to flee her plantation after she becomes pregnant by the white foreman. What she doesn't know is that her owner was murdered and Louisa is now the prime suspect. Josiah and Randolph must search the slave markets of New Orleans to try to locate Louisa before she is caught and possibly tried for murder.
Clyde Linsley has written a very compelling historical mystery that very much brings to life New Orleans of the 1830s. He seamlessly intersperses the political and social issues of the day including the problem of dueling and cruelty of slavery. Characters are quite likeable and very well portrayed. I had some problems with the dialogue. For example, would a recently freed slave use words such as 'lascivious' or 'onerous'? The solution, however, is quite clever and satisfactory. A strong recommendation.
