Book Description
Hugo Award winner and best-selling author Harry Turtledove has garnered high praise for his mastery of alternate history science fiction, and for his fantasy adventure novels, but he is equally a master of science fiction adventure, as he proves in this new Baen MegaBook containing two complete novels and a baker's dozen of brilliant shorter works.
Earthgrip - Jennifer Logan, young and beautiful, wanted to teach Middle English. But getting a job required a striking resume, and she thought that getting a berth on an interstellar trading ship would be just the ticket. And before she could say, this wasn't what I had in mind, she was off on what would be the adventure of a lifetime-though her lifetime might suddenly be cut rather short.
Noninterference - The Survey Service was supposed to observe alien worlds on the verge of civilization, without in any way interfering. But the expedition to Bilbeis IV, over 1,000 years ago, had broken the rule, with results that no one could have predicted. The Survey Service was still around, more bureaucratic than ever, and when they returned to Bilbeis IV and saw what the previous expedition had done, they knew that they could not allow the facts to get out. And unless one man could stop them, more than incriminating documents might be shredded-an entire inhabited world was at risk!
Kaleidoscope - A selection of short science fiction and fantasy for all tastes. Suppose Jack the Ripper was a vampire, and another vampire was given the job of catching him? Suppose all the other races in the galaxy have starships, but haven't developed the other technologies that have exploded on Earth-including weapons? Suppose the Nazis had to deal with Mahatma Gandhi and his nonviolent resistance? And much more.
Publisher's Note: Earthgrip, Noninterference and Kaleidoscope have been previously published as separate books. This is their first combined publication.
Customer Reviews:
A Great Collection.......2007-05-15
I have always like Harry Turtledove's stories. This book introduced me to some I did not know of. It is a collection of shorter fiction, all of which are pretty good. Some are genuinely great. The combination of humor and good writing makes for a fantastic read.
Be aware: Some of the stories have been published before as books.
Reprint.......2004-07-08
I'm a big Turtledove fan, but I won't be ordering this one, because it's a reprint of some of his older work that I already have. Although this isn't (presently) clear from this site's description of the book, it includes the previously published Earthgrip, Noninterference and Kaleidoscope.
If you haven't read these before, 3 x T is worth a look.

This book helped me get a good start in my Accounting college courses. It lays out the fundamental principles of Accounting simply and clearly. Its emphasis on the process leading to, creation of, and analysis of financial statements, would be very helpful to anyone who may need to understand just what a company's financial statements really mean

Customer Reviews:
Best cookie book ever.......2007-09-24
I grew up choosing christmas cookies out of this book. I have wonderful memories of paging through it; I'm not sure, but I think every cookie is pictured (not individually, but in groupings), this is great for the little kids that want to choose a recipe, they just say, "I want that one". A few years back when I had my daughter, my Mom looked into getting one for me off ebay and was impressed that they were collectable, and expensive (the older ones anyway). Between this and her inexperiance with the internet she never got me one and isn't ready to give up hers yet. So now that I have two daughters and the first is at an age that she enjoys dumping ingredients into the mixer I just ordered one so we can choose and make cookies together this christmas.
Love It!.......2007-08-25
I love to bake pies, cakes and cookies. I have many cookbooks and find this particular cooky book very enjoyable. Recipes are easily explained and the full page pictures enhance the recipes.
Great book for bakers and for people who love vintage things.......2007-08-23
I love this book, haven't made anything in it, but I just like having it in my library. It's wonderful to look through, the recipes aren't low-fat, low-cholesterol, they're good old-fashioned baking recipes that comfort me just looking at them. The pictures are really wonderful too, very heartwarming and reminiscent of a kinder time. I enjoy this book so much I am giving it as a wedding gift in a basket filled with like items: cookie cutters, measuring cups, a new "old style" glass cookie jar with a red enamel lid and some sage plaid dishtowels because this book reminds me of what all homes should be about: family, good food and good memories!
The one and only classic cooky book.......2007-07-17
Is cooky really spelled cooky? I have always spelled it "cookie". But who really cares, this book is full of great recipes for both. This book is going onto the third generation in my family. I learned to make cookies as a kid with my my mom's copy, my kids learned from my copy and I have bought this book for each of them as they have moved out of the house. Now I am replacing my own time-worn copy. Lemon bars, ginger almond cookies, chocolate crinkles, Ethel's sugar cookies (I don't know who Ethel is but I love her recipe), snickerdoodles, etc. Buy this book for yourself and your kids.
The book YOUR Grandmother learned to bake cookies from!.......2007-07-12
That is how I introduced my granddaughter to this new & less ragged copy of my beloved Betty Crocker's Cooky Book! There are no "hard" recipes here, very little "artificial" and all of it good. A wonderful way to share some fun with the kids while eliminating all the "junk."
Amazon.com
Betty Crocker provides more than 250 scrumptious recipe ideas for filling up your cookie jar with chewy cookies, crunchy shortbreads, chocolate brownies--and just about any sweet little number you can sink your teeth into. In true Crocker style, this sugary gem is laid out simply, with basic cooking instructions, giving plenty of tips and hints for creating that perfect recipe. Mouthwatering photographs of Luscious Lemon-Raspberry Bars, Almond Bonbons, Butterscotch Shortbreads, and many more make you want to get that rolling pin out now!
For quick reference, recipes are divided into eight chapters--there are cookies for kids, brownie and bar recipes, hand-shaped and -pressed cookies, rolled cookies, drop cookies, and cookies for special occasions. Happily for cooks in a real hurry, a whole chapter is devoted solely to store-bought mix recipes (Betty Crocker brand, of course). In a few simple steps, ready-made cake mixes can be adapted into delicious cookies. A carrot-cake mix transforms itself into Carrot-Molasses Cookies by simply adding margarine, light molasses, eggs, and nuts, if desired, which is then chilled and baked for eight minutes. Here are fabulous Caramel Fudge Bars, astounding Almond Bars, and perky Peanut Butter-Brickle Chip Bars, all brought to you via the wonder of mix!
Crocker and Co. doesn't forget special diets, either. There is a wonderful selection of wheat-free and egg-free cookies that still manage to taste fabulous. Particularly handsome are the Frosted Banana Bars--containing less fat and cholesterol than regular cookies.
Whatever your forte, Betty Crocker's Cookie Book has a sweet treat in store for you. --Naomi Gesinger

Betty Crocker's Cookie Book.......2007-03-15
A great selection of recipes. I like the directions and the layout of the book.
Wonderful Cookie Book!.......2005-06-23
Out of all the names in cookie books out there, Betty Crocker is one of the most, if not the most, famous. This fame was gained with good reason. Dozens of generations have grown on Betty's goodies and it shows in that she remains hugely popular throughout the years.
This book honors the Betty Crocker good name. Dozens of oh-so-yummy different recipes for eevryone to enjoy. The variety is quite astounding as she has more than enough cookies to fill up several chapters ranging from drop cookies, bar cookies, shaped cookies, kids cookies, etc. She even has a special chapter that's bound to become very useful in this day and age, dedicated to cookies for special diets. Here you'll find several treats for people on diets or with conditions such as diabetes or certain food allergies. I'd name some of the family's favorite recipes but there are really to many to mention!
Betty's instructions are, as usual, very simple to follow through and not only that, she even makes it easier on you by providing little tips on baking startegies, ingredient substitutions, etc. on almost all of the recipes. This makes it a cinch to turn out perfect cookies every time no matter what your baking skill is like.
I'd just like to highly recommend this book. It's a big favorite of my family and I've baked endlessly from it and not had anything fail me from it yet. They've been perfect as gifts, treats, to sell, and to cure the occasional boo-boo. This is as great as home-baked goodness can get!
Much better cookie books out there.......2004-11-28
I picked this book up at a store and ended up returning it. Some cute ideas but was disappointed by the many recipes that started with cake mixes. Tried the witches' broomstick cookie, cute but not a great tasting cookie. If you really like to bake cookies there are much better books out there.
A MUST Have For Any Baker!.......2004-04-26
I found this book in the library and today, after baking another pan of brownies, I had to own it! The German Chocolate Brownies got the higest ever Yum Factor rating from co-workers, I am not sure if that will stand once they taste the Milk Chocolate - Malted Brownies, baked with chopped Malted Milk Balls on top! I had never made homemade brownies, but after making the Ulitmate Brownie recipe I will never used a boxed mix again. These are just too easy and too good! The pictures are wonderful and cutting diagrams for getting the most out of each goodie are helpful. This book will have a place of honor among my other well used cook-books. Enjoy every tasty bite!
A book for anyone with a sweet tooth and a mixer!.......2003-08-14
I feel liked I gained weight just looking at the book. With mouth-watering pictures you will too. This delectable reference book is filled with simple recipes and step-by-step directions, quick tips, and nutritional information for every cookie and brownie. While my favorite is the traditional chocolate chip cookie, I found references for soft, crispy, chewy, nutty, and candy-filled cookies.
Product Description

Holiday Baking.......2006-10-11
Betty Crocker's Cooky Book is a rediscovery from childhood for many and an entire world of delicious cookie treasures for anyone who loves baking, especially in the holiday season.
Each year at Christmas my grandmother would take out about 20 (it seemed) cookie tins and bake until each and every one of those tins were filled with cookies during the winter months and especially near Christmas.
This is also the book we loved as children. I fondly remember spending hours just looking through this book and wishing the cookies I wanted to make would magically appear on a plate. Soon, I was old enough to cook the Peanut butter Cookies, Russian Teacakes and Candy Cane Cookies. My favorite page as a child was page 56. A page filled with storybook cookies that were painted and iced sugar cookies.
The contents include:
Drop, Bar, Refrigerator, Rolled, Pressed and Molded Cookies.
Holiday Cookies for Valentine's Day, St. Patrick's Day, Easter, Halloween and Christmas.
Cookies for Children, Lunchbox treats, Cookies that will travel, Heritage cookies, Cookies for Special Diets.
Brownies, Date Bars, Ginger Cookies, Cookies made from mixes
Teatime Cookies, Cookies for a Crowd, Confections
Best Cookies
In this cookbook, they say you can use either the traditional or the sifting method. We always used the traditional dip and sweep method for measuring the flour. Then, on the next page they explain why your cookie dough might be too soft. I've always found this rather amusing, since you see...if you use the sifting method, you will possibly not have enough flour, at least in my mind. Most cookbooks say to use one OR the
other method for all the recipes and some don't really give you the choice and this is eternally confusing.
Some of the cookies you might enjoy:
Old-Fashioned Oatmeal Cookies
Butterscotch Brownies
Holiday Spritz
Snickerdoodles
Christmas Bells
Cream Wafers
Nougat Bars
Definitely a collectable Betty Crocker Cookbook. For a Facsimile Edition from 2002, look for ISBN 0764566377. My mother recently bought me the newer edition and it is wonderful to have this cookbook all in one piece. This is the type of cookbook you will truly use and that is why our family has been through numerous copies over the years.
~The Rebecca Review, already dreaming of Candy Cane Cookies...

A good cookie cookbook, especially for "Moms".......2004-12-18
When I was a teen, one of my mother's friends lent us a Betty Crocker cookie cookbook. Once I saw the recipes inside, I just had to copy some of them down. They sounded absolutely delightful.
I am very happy that, years later, I found this cookbook which contains many of the same recipes. I excitedly bought it and couldn't wait to get it home to make some terrific cookies from it. Since then, I've made several recipes from this book. The lemon-lime cookies have a delicious icing and my husband loves them. I've also made the chocolate-cherry stripe cookies and they came out very cute. The orange madeleine recipe makes a very delicate, simple, almost cake-like cookie. I've had requests for that recipe from those who tasted it. This cookbook also has a number of charming recipes to make "cute" cookies for kids.
I would recommend this cookbook to most cooks. I think it makes a great "mom" cookbook because the recipes aren't too difficult and many of the cookies would appeal to kids. If you are looking for a sophisticated cookie cookbook, you would probably find one of Maida Heatter's cookbooks more to your liking. This cookbook is fun, though, and has some very tasty recipes!
Ultimately Scrumptious!.......2000-11-26
My husband got this for me after I bungled about four batches of cookies in a row. I haven't bungled one since. The recipes range from the simple and traditional: the ultimate chocolate chip, the ultimate oatmeal, and the ultimate sugar cookies, to brownies and bars (the lemon bars are PERFECT), to more unusual: specialty and holiday/party cookies. If ever I need a recipe for krumkake or orange madeleines, pizzelles or springerle, I know where I'll go.
The recipes are well organized and easy to execute. The pictures are in mouth-watering color and plentiful. My little boy loves to page through it to look at all the yummy varieties. If I had one criticism, it would be that this book should really be spiral bound, for those of us who really USE our cookbooks in the kitchen!
Product Description
They're fun to make and they're good to eat. Perfect for snacks and desserts, for parties and picnics, for greeting a new neighbor, for sending to a far-off freshman. And Betty Crocker's Cooky Book offers a complete collection of these all-purpose pleasers: cookies that are quick, quaint, easy, challenging -- from everyday favorites to show-off spectaculars.
