Book Description
The sequel to Olivia De Berardinis' first book Let Them Eat Cheesecake, this mongraph contains all-new art created, primarily, in the 4 years since Olivia's cheesecake book was published. Printed in a unique format, part portrait/vertical and part landscape/horizontal, this book has 2 front covers (and no back cover). Not a gimmick, this new twist allows the horizontal art to be shown to maximum effect.

AN ENTICING SECOND HELPING.......2007-04-13
Second Slice, The Art of Olivia is two books in one...sort of...about ¾ of the book is displays Olivia's paintings in portrait format. Flip it over, and the rest of the book is in landscape format...a flip book for adults! Olivia's second slice is every bit as filling and delectable as the first offering featuring 124 pages with 140 paintings in full color. Each of the two sections provides a detailed index with the name of the piece, size of the original painting, materials used, the name of the model, as well as Olivia's own commentary on her works. These comments are often as entertaining to read, as the paintings are to view.
The models used in this edition include Pamela Anderson, Rhonda Shear, Bettie Page, Julie Strain, and Sandra Taylor. The paintings of the saucy Julie Strain are some of my favorites in the book. With her long, kinky black hair, ample curves, and playfully wicked smile, Strain made a wonderful pin-up queen for the 1990's, when most of these pieces were completed.
Olivia experiments with many forms of style and color, which make for some of her most striking and exotic work to date. This is well displayed in "Zebra Lady III" as the nude, striped model (Rhonda Rydell) blends into and almost disappears into the striped backdrop. While not necessarily known for darker, gothic works, Olivia clearly shows she can compete with the best in that genre with works such as the female vampire on display in "Things that Go Bump in the Night" and the winged, horned "Banshee" which serves as one of the book' covers.
Flipping to the landscape side, the buxom blonde bombshell Shear is captivating in the painting entitled "Pomeranians" as she finds herself lying on the ground, covered in a wrap made out of those furry, little dogs.
Second Slice is another gorgeous collection of Olivia's works, all from the 80's and 90's. It is filled with gorgeous women and bold, sassy, and exotic colors and settings. Olivia continues to prove why she is at the top of her game.

Olivia is the queen of Cheesecake........2006-10-19
Olivia is the Vargas of our time. As Vargas took the reigns from Petty, Olivia has done the same, and Just like Vargas went beyond Petty in terms of realism, and delicate beauty, Olivia De Berardinis has taken cheesecake to a whole new level. Every pose, expression, and little bit of body language is put to use. Every Shot is beyond what a glamor photographer would dream of. Utter Perfection on so many levels. There is definitely some of her art that pays tribute to Petty, and Vargas among other legends of pinup in many of her pieces in most of her books. This one is a collection that spans many realms, and genres as would only be appropriate in our day. (Frank Frazetta influence spans the universe) There are no pieces that are over the top goriffic, or Horrific works like Clevenger, but there is some definite influence from Fantasy art in a portion of this book. The cover of this book was also a cover on Heavy Metal Magazine of which Olivia did many covers for in the past. This book is like an homage to the beauty of the feminine and female form, as is all of her work. Mouthwatering is the only description I can give it. If your looking for extreme fantasy, or horrific, gorrific works go for Clevenger. But if you want to see the beauty of the female form that can only be described as: like looking into the eyes of an angel". Olivia's books will do you no wrong. This one is no exception.
Erotism in a great HC packed book.......2005-06-27
Olivia was one of my favorite artist, and in my collection of Illustrations books she can't be absent. This new collection of paintings shows her skills to mold all kind of techniques.
A must have release.
Hot Damn!.......2002-11-17
I love Olivia and everything she does, including this book. I just received mine today and IMMEDIATELY sat down and ravaged it! It is glorious and refined. I have probably gone through it at least 17 times today and will go through it again another 17 times tomorrow. I never get tired of perusing the fantastic and erotic images she creates. I wish she would put out a book every 3 months! If you liked "Let Them Eat Cheesecake", you will fall MADLY inlove with this book, "A Second Slice" as well. It has inspired me to work harder and be more devoted to my own artwork. Hopefully it will inspirit you to do the same...
EXCELLENT! & NOT SURPRISED........2002-10-19

44 Cranberry Point.......2007-05-13
I purchased all six in this series. I read all six and a 7th one comes out the fall of 2007. I enjoyed the pleasant story of a small town but after six books I felt the pattern of the writing got very repetative. Most of the following books spent time filling you in on the events that took place earlier and repeated who was related to who. After awhile, this detracted from the light plot to the point of becoming annoying. If you want a fast, lazy summer read at least the first three books are good just for fun.
Visit Old Friends in Fourth Cedar Cove Book.......2007-01-29
The characters I have grown to enjoy through the first three Cedar Cove books are all back and moving forward/backward in their lives. Opening the pages of this book was like going home to visit with these dear friends I've become very fond of. Debbie Macomber has not only given us another visit to this charming town and added new dimensions to the characters, but also provides us with a suspenseful resolution to the murder that occurred back in book one.
The focal point of this story is the home of Peggy and Bob Beldon who manage the Thyme and Tide B and B at 44 Cranberry Point. Nerves have been on edge with Peggy and Bob since a fellow Vietnam soldier, Max Russell, was found murdered at the inn. Bob, a recovering alcoholic, has the biggest challenge of his sober years when the need for a drink overtakes him. Will he manage to control himself or will he throw away all his hard work and good intentions?
Judge Olivia Lockhart of 16 Lighthouse Road is back from her honeymoon with newspaper editor Jack Griffin, but the adjustment period is harder than either imagined. Can a neat freak health nut live in harmony with a sloppy fast-foot addict?
Maryellen and Jon Bowman finally marry and seem happy with daughter Katie. But will the arrival of Jon's parents disrupt their happy home? Can the disowned son ever forgive his parents' betrayal? Jon is stubborn and it will take a major tragedy to get him to even consider reconciliation.
Grace Sherman has made a decision and Cliff Harding is the one she wants. Alas, Grace's internet romance with Will Jefferson may have ended any hopes for a life with Cliff. When Will visits Cedar Cove, what will Grace do?
Romance is in the air for septuagenarians Charlotte Jefferson and Ben Rhodes, but will a background search uncover facts about Ben that would stand in the way of this romance?
Ian Randall is home on leave but tensions are mounting with wife Cecilia. Will they put their grief over losing daughter Allison in perspective and be ready to try to have another child?
Private investigator Roy McAfee has been getting strange and rather threatening notes. A package left on his doorsteps is the ultimate cliffhanger ending and it should be no surprise to followers of this series that the spotlight will now shift to the McAfee home at 50 Harbor Street for the next installment in the series.
In addition to the main characters, minor characters such as Rachel the nail tech, widower Bruce Peyton, Stanley Lockhart and others make appearances and propel the storyline, thanks in large part to a hilarious Dog and Bachelor auction which makes matches and mismatches aplenty.
Debbie Macomber has given us the perfect soap opera in book form and I eagerly look forward to each new installment. I would advise readers to begin at the beginning to eliminate any confusion in this multi-populated series.
Another Good Installment.......2006-11-14
The mystery of the B&B is solved althought the killer became obvious it was still fun to read. Charlotte got a love interest, Maryellen moved forward with her life with Jon and their daughter. Cecelia decided it was time for another baby but Ian didn't quite agree. Grace had her hands full with her love interests while Olivia adjusted to life with her new husband. Read and enjoy.
small town life.......2006-11-10
Macomber's work is so believable. Her characters are so real, with interesting problems. 44 Cranberry Point makes me wish I lived there. I always enjoy her work.

Perfect!.......2007-10-07
I love my ESV! It's really nice because it's close enough to the NIV that is typical in my church, but it's a bit more poetic, which I like. I decided to get one this summer because I worked at a Christian camp, and all the girls I worked with seemed to have a pretty little ESV. Before this I had two Bibles, neither of which really met my needs. I was kind of worried about a thinline because I had heard that the pages can be too seethrough, but that hasn't been an issue with this one. I like to read lying in bed, and this Bible is perfect for that!
High quality, beautiful!.......2007-08-29
This Bible is just georgeous! The print is very easy to read as well. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a good Bible that will last a long time.
Bible Convenience and Style!.......2007-08-23
Ok, I know convenience and style are not the point, but they are nice bonuses in a bible. I just lightened my load without sacrificing the Word! And it's pretty, too. I love my new bible!

Grandmother certainly didn't want to ask Mr. Whiskers for Thanksgiving dinner!
She was very angry when Maggie asked him.
She was even more angry when SOMEONE stole her favorite, secret recipe for cranberry bread!
Was Mr. Whiskers the thief?
Customer Reviews:
Charming! .......2007-02-03
This is a great book to own and read every year. I love the moral of the book...don't judge a book by its cover! We also made a cranberry recipe (although not the one in the book)... it was fun and memorable!
Thanksgiving Tradition!.......2005-11-22
This book has been a favorite in my family since my three children were little; we always read it at Thanksgiving time and made the special Cranberry bread, which is really delicious! Now that my children are grown up with children of their own, they are continuing the tradition. A very special book!
Fantastic memories..........2005-03-10
This was one of my favorite books when I was a child. I loved the story tremendously, and the illustrations were mesmorizing. It always would put me in the mood for Thanksgiving, any time of year! I still read it today, and the pictures bring me back to a wonderful time. All of Harry Devlin's books are fantastic...and the Cranberry series is a must for children of all ages.
Charming Tale!.......2004-11-29
This book is very charming indeed! Maggie is a delightful young girl that knows looks aren't everything and befriends a man not based on his looks but based on his need for a friend. And when things start to fall apart at the Thanksgiving dinner she holds everyone together. I read this book to my children and we all loved it and are grateful to know there are others like it.
It is a great book that brings about the true spirit of thanksgiving with a little lesson thrown in, and the basis of the book...the secret Cranberry Bread recipe...is a delightful way to tie-in these fun and whimsical characters. And, to my delight, the recipe is included at the back of the book!
Great for parents to read and great for children to read!
I get all sentimental when I see Cranberry Thanksgiving.......2004-11-21
My favorite book from my childhood is Cranberry Thanksgiving. My brothers favorite is Where the Wild things are. My mother took the time with us to make books come alive. She used to put me up on the counter top and let me "help" her bake. She has a picture of me at age 3 on the counter with a purple and white adult size gingham check apron tied up under my arms.
I have carried on the tradition of making cranberry bread with my family. I am mom to 6 children (expecting my 7th) and still buy cranberries every year to make huge batches of this cranberry bread. (I use straight orange juice concentrate to make the recipe, because I am an orange fan.)
Start a tradition with your family. They'll remember making the cranberry bread as much as reading the book.
Book Description
"No Easter egg hunt this year." Seth announces. "I'm going to sell the General Store and head south."
Mr. Whiskers can't believe his ears. He knows Seth's been feeling lonely recently, but no Easter egg hunt...suffering codfish! And besides, without Seth around, who will be beat at checkers on Saturday nights?
Mr. Whiskers realizes something must be done, but what? Just when things look their worst, his young friend Maggie comes up with a plan that may save the egg hunt, and convince Seth that Cranberryport is the place for him after all!

This is my 6 year old daughters favorite book!.......1999-11-11
We read this book after Cranberry Thanksgiving and found it just as wonderful. Maggie needs new school clothes and grandmother needs a new winter coat, so they have an antique sale in Cranberryport to raise the money. This is a lesson in itself for children in these days. Good again triumphs over evil in a situation between Mr. Whiskers and Mr. Grape. We enjoyed reading this book so much, we plan to read all of the "Cranberry" books that we can find!
Book Description
This addition to our series offers a wealth of information and advice on growing blueberries, cranberries, lingonberries, and dozens of lesser-known relatives otherwise known as vacciniums. Jennifer Trehane explores the historical, ornamental, and edible aspects of Vaccinium, a diverse genus of more than 400 species. The culinary importance of these berry-bearing plants is well known, but too few people are aware of their ornamental potential. Many of the plants described in these pages have brightly colored young growth, flowers that are sometimes scented, and either evergreen or deciduous leaves with brilliant fall color. Some vacciniums become large, bold shrubs, while others remain small and compact, making them ideal for containers and small gardens. The author lists dozens of little-known species deserving more attention, and all who read this book will find a range of plants suitable for each garden habitat.
