I loved the book in high school. It is timely today. Many older movies are crisp and manage to remain up to date. This version is hokey to start with and then, the new disc got stuck. We tried to get past the bad patch but it was all bad patches past a certain point. Quality control was lacking.

I received the hardcopy as a birthday gift in 2001, and I loved it. However, I decided to buy the kindle version when I wanted to re-read it. It was much easier to read the electronic version of this extremely long and heavy book. The kindle version had a few errors in it, but I don't remember if those same errors were in the hardcopy text.

I loved The Sleepy Book when I was a child.  My original copy is in shreds!  Whenever a friend or family member has a baby, I order a copy and give it to them.  It's a sentimental favorite.

My mom has had a hard copy that is a least 30 years old. We use it every Christmas to plan our Christmas lunch and each year it gets better. The book is now worn from use and faded. Some of the pages are torn. I remember that when we were young we used to page through it.... so this year we decided to buy our own copies as we have our own families now and each want a copy of our own which hopefully we will pass down to our own children. Its fantastic. We laugh about some of the comments in it.  They are now antiquated but are quant. Love it!!!

I wore out my first copy from 30 years ago.  I met Mike in KW back then & used his book as a my sailboat-cooking bible!

I got this set for easter like 2-3 years ago.
I was and still am obsessed with panic at the disco, so my dad splurged and got me this. I was crazy in love with it and essentially was married to it for 3 weeks. I watched the dvd at least twice a day, had the poster and pictures in my room, and had the cd on repeat on my ipod.
One day, while cleaning, I set a crate on top of it. Not a huge crate, a small one. I lifted the crate and almost fainted- the box had essentially collapsed. The CD and dvd were ruined. The poster (I had put it back in when I started cleaning) had been ripped. I'm on the hunt for a decently priced one at the moment (the dvd is the best think since sliced bread) but I would never pay such a ridiculous price for it.

That particular book is not available at any library because it is out of print and could not find it at my local new or used book store.  It is probably the best book I have ever read and it was in a reader's digest book.  I am so thrilled to have the actual hard back book.  My father recommended it to me many years ago and it brings back so many fond memories of him.  I may pursue buying a few of the other books by him.  I knew it would take time to arrive as it was probably shipped book rate but at that price and just the fact that they had it was enough.  It is in great shape even with the original paper cover.  Thank you for the memories... Judith

I had this record as a little girl in the '60's.  I probably played the record everyday and it really pulled me into the story so I was the little girl who rode Macaroni.  I left the record on the floor one day and my mother accidentally stepped on it. She threw the record cover away so I didn't even have that.  I would love to have it again to hear and remember the wonderful memories from my childhood.

I read the book so much when I was young it was practically falling apart. Last week I read it again and it was like family I hadn't seen forever.

My older copies were starting to deteriorate somewhat. Never knew that a DVD could be corrupted without any sign of physical damage ( Scratches etc,)Considering that the info is on the side under the label not on the shiny side I wonder if the older book style package was to blame. It was always the third disc of the set on seasons four and five that went bad.
Either way I mow have the complete set once more and the new system of trays might be better at preserving the discs. Here's hoping any way.

RIP Mr. 3-2. Sorely missed. Who's got a copy of this classic?

I got my first BC big cookbook almost 50 years ago.  Finally wore it out.  Had to get another one.

I owned the complete books by Churchill on the second WW, but lost it many years ago. I now decided to replace it.

Excellent.  Would have preferred a hard cover, but this one will outlast me - at age 93

I grew up watching this on VHS and it finally died :( Had to buy a new one, thanks for having it.

OK -- we all know that we're supposed to back up important files, etc... right?  Well, I think the last time I backed up this USB drive was when I bought it 2 years ago.  So you can imagine how I felt when I pulled this out of our dryer with my pants this morning!

Just checked the file system and it's ok.  I wouldn't try this again for fun, but it's nice to know that the washer-dryer combination one-two punch wasn't the end of the world for this little USB drive.
