Review title: Pie Cookbook is Inspirational! Product review: James McNair's Pie Cookbook is a great book for beginning bakers and an inspiration for more established bakers. It explains the fundamentals of making pie crusts, fillings, and the baking process. The photos are superb and give inspiration for creativity, such as an elegant looking square pecan pie.The book's binding is fragile though, so be careful or you will have pages falling out.

Review title: Pride Product review: Every day when I look at my new Betsy Ross Flag I feel a surge of pride. Pride in what a wondrous thing our founders wrought and pride in the kind of nation we will be when we return to the principle of individual rights.

Review title: Let's get serious Product review: Much has been written about the cleverness of this book and the mangled English of one of the narrators. Let me add to the verbiage: how far can one joke stretch?There's a lot of desperation among readers of 'serious' fiction. The thought of a literate, ambitious young author willing to take chances and make fun of sacred cows (the holocaust in this case) has proved to much. Well, I may be desperate, but I'm not going to lower my standards. I found this book tedious to read, much like the experience of watching someone else's precocious child 'entertain' party guests: fun for a moment, but soon causing a feverish hope that the clever child can be sent to bed, so the adults can talk.And let's be honest: the skewering of 'sacred cows' has become so common that the term itself is without meaning now. There's nothing brave in doing so -- it's become a standard literary, and marketing, conceit.
