Donna's Favorites's
Pictured here are a few of the books I spoke about while doing a recent "207" on wsch6 TV.
The 2 books I'm probably the most excited about are Backyard Homesteading by Carleen Madigan and Gardening When it Counts by Steve Solomon. Both are very comprehensive and through, with lots of very useful info. They are easy to follow and process and Backyard Homestead is full of great illustrations. Gardening when it Counts is so complete I can't imagine that you'd need any other book on vegetable growing, at least to get you started .. let's face it though if your like me, collecting gardening books can take on a life of it's own.

Books Etc was lucky enough to be part of a celebration to honor Maine's own Melissa Sweet on Saturday-March 14th . Melissa recently was awarded a Caldecott Honor, the book world's highest honor for book illustration, for the book, River of Words-The Story of Williams Carlos Williams, written by Jen Bryant and illustrated by Melissa Sweet. The text, part brief biography of his childhood and later career as a doctor interspersed with the constant stream of poems he wrote about everyday objects, weaves it's way around the lush and jewel-like illustrations that are full to bursting from this fabulous book.
Well over a hundred people stopped by to congratulate Melissa, try their hand at a collage, buy a book or eat some of the fabulous cupcakes provided for the guests.
Kirsten Cappy of Curious City planned and organized this wonderful event and brought it all off with her usual panache.
We still have a few signed copies of this amazing book, which is selling briskly.
If you would like one set aside call soon.
