1.   It is a little disappointing that so handsome a book offers so breathless a review of the subject.

2.   The approach is cognitive and the books offer a combination of explanations, examples, and a variety of imaginative exercises.

3.   The book offers a lively account of her travels.

4.   The book offers basic recipes for making the stock and tips for improving the flavor of canned broths.

5.   Her books offer profound insights into the true nature of courage.

6.   Although the book offers no clear solution to its trouble, Manning poses tantalizing questions about race, identity and beauty, and holds our attention to the end.

7.   Although the book offers reliable information about equipment, it is off base on its guidance for temperature.

8.   And her books offer the most luminous portrayal of life downtown in the era between Edna St. Vincent Millay and the Stonewall uprising.

9.   And the book offers a flat-footed telling of the Cinderella story, with no cute cartoon mice or outsize villains to leap off the screen.

10.   Another book in paperback offers good suggestions for managers in charge of all those stressed-out workers.
