Best Amy Butler Book, by far
This book is everything you hope...and more! Amy Butler is known for her beautiful fabric and fresh ideas but I have a stack of her books on my shelf that I have loved to look at, but have never been inspired to make something from immediately. This book is the ...

A Perfect Red: Empire, Espionage, and the Quest for the Color of Desire

Amy Butler Greenfield

Harper Perennial, 2006

Terrific study of the history of cochineal trafficking
This book is one of the very best I have seen in a long time. The author has taken great care to present historically correct and detailed information about the long history of cochineal farming, and sale of this commodity (dried beetles that can be processed to create ...

Sew-It Kit: 15 Simple and Stylish Sewing Projects for the Home

Amy Butler

Chronicle Books, 2007

Not for a crafter
Although I love Amy Butler's fabric line and other books, this kit was disappointing. The projects were fairly simple, and I found the cards to be pretty gimmicky. That being said, it would make a lovely gift for someone who is just getting interested in sewing.

Found Style: Vintage Ideas for Modern Living

David Butler, Amy Butler

Chronicle Books, 2003

Decorating for those with more creativity than money!
This book is full of wonderful, artistic ideas; each page better than the last. I wistfully moved from an old, 1920's bungalow into a brand-spankin'new townhome and have referenced Found Style many times for ideas. This book isn't for the cookie cutter, Christopher ...

Elegant and exquisite!
Amy Butler's cards set a unique tone for the discriminating correspondent. The cards are of a lovely, heavy stock, colorful, imaginative, unique in being the product of fabric designs. I first learned of the cards by receiving a note on one and immediately called my ...

Two Paths to Equality: Alice Paul and Ethel M. Smith in the Era Debate, 1921-1929

Amy E. Butler

State University of New York Press, 2002

A great book about the ERA
I really liked this book. Amy E. Butler expertly deals with the ERA (Equal Rights Amendment) and two of the more important figures in the early ERA debate. Many books I have read on the subject deal with the ERA broadly and do not focus on individuals, so I really ...

Dog People: Writers and Artists on Canine Companionship

Artisan, 1995

this is a magical collection
Any dog lover would enjoy this book. It is a treasure trove of masterfully crafted stories. There is very little sentimental sappiness, the collection focusing mainly on the ways dogs enhance the lives of humans. I applaud this book and hope to see more of the same ...

Buy It
This is the only cookbook that I have ever had that had 100% good recipes in it. The procedures are easy-to-follow and the results never fail. I had trouble making meringue before I bought this but it taught me exactly how to make it work every single time (even on ...
