Summary

In "Knitting, Crochet, and Netting, with Twelve Illustrations," Eléonore Riego de la Branchardière offers a comprehensive guide that intertwines practical instruction with the artistry of fiber crafts. This text, written in the Victorian period, showcases a unique blend of detailed illustrations and rhythmic prose, reflecting the era's emphasis on craftsmanship and domesticity. Riego de la Branchardière's approach not only serves to teach techniques but also celebrates the creativity inherent in these handicrafts. The book stands as a testament to the artistic merit of knitting and crochet, positioning them as legitimate forms of expression within the broader literary landscape of craft literature at the time. Eléonore Riego de la Branchardière, an accomplished needleworker and an influential figure in the world of women's crafts, wrote this book amid a cultural shift that acknowledged women's contributions to domestic art forms. Her own experiences as a creator and teacher fueled her desire to both empower and educate other women through accessible crafting techniques.

So You're Going Bald!

Anonymous

Educational, uplifting, and thoroughly hilarious, this rollicking “bald memoir” is a one-stop guide to appreciating life as you lose your hair, and offers dating, grooming, marriage, sex, and even toupee advice for bald men and the people who claim to love them.
Humorist and comedy television writer Julius Sharpe woke up on 9/11 to his own personal disaster: his hair was falling out. So You’re Going Bald is his hilarious odyssey—a tale filled with despair, horror, acceptance, and humor that everyone can relate to, whether you’re nineteen or approaching ninety—or are simply bald-curious.
As Julius tells it, going bald is for-real traumatic. Losing his hair preoccupied his days and kept him up Googling every night for five straight years. He suffered in private, but now he’s making it his mission that no cue ball will live alone with the agony of hair loss ever again. Sharpe examines what it means to be hairless up top, and walks you through how to look at yourself in the mirror and not want to die. He outlines the three stages of baldness (anger, more anger, even more anger), and volunteers himself as a guinea pig, testing laser helmets, plugs, and toupees. So You’re Going Bald is one-part tough love and one-part inspiration . . . the same way that Fran Drescher’s Cancer Schmancer inspired a cure for schmancer.
We all know someone who is bald, or going bald, or got their hair cut way too short. In So You’re Going Bald, Sharper provides an emotional roadmap for living life in the bald lane, giving voice to what it feels like to know that “grass doesn’t grow on a busy street.”

Car Talk Classics: No Factory...

Tom Magliozzi

There may be an occasional flaw in the auto expert advice of brothers Tom and Ray Maggliozzi, but the complaint box remains empty, with no factory recall in sight. The next entry in the ever popular Car Talk Classics series features four all time favorite Car Talk episodes, hand-picked by host Click and Clack, the Tappet Brothers, and presented here together for the first time. Car Talk continues to be one of public radio's most popular and laugh-inducing programs, with a weekly audience of four million listeners. 
 
 
 
Car Talk, winner of a Peabody Award, is broadcast each week to NPR stations nationwide. The world's wackiest call-in show, it mixes automotive advice with wisecracks, roadside philosophy, and guffaws. No problem is too ridiculous, no solution to absurd, and before you know it, "you've wasted another perfectly good hour listening to Car Talk." Or, in this case, four.
