Spend an Old-Fashioned Holiday with THE GREAT AMERICAN CHRISTMAS BOOK

The Great American Christmas Book is a hit with both holiday shoppers and all those reporters and editors who are making their lists for the best holiday books of 2007. Here's a new review from the Detriot Free-Press that is also running in McClatchy Newspapers all over the country: "This bizarre little collection includes everything from how to bake baklava to building a multiroom igloo, from an Eleanor Roosevelt essay on family holidays to "A Visit From Saint Nicholas" (you probably call it " 'Twas The Night Before Christmas"). It's filled with instructions for gifts that children can make for family members, as well as little games to provide them amusement when the family is snowed in. . . It has a bunch of good recipes for turkey and stuffing, peanut brittle, maple-sugar yams and more. It also includes lyrics for carols -- you know you don't have the fifth verse of "Deck the Halls" memorized -- and the famous "Yes, Virginia, There is a Santa Claus" editorial and the above-mentioned "Visit from Saint Nicholas," which makes the book a conveniently compressed volume to dig out on a silent night."
