Stop and Sell the Roses
Trivia Question: In what book will you find Manny Sanguillen, the American Society for the Propagation of Cavities, Shaquille O'Neill, the hot new CD Yanni at Niagara Falls, and a kitty litter box for Jabba the Hut? I'm willing to bet you'll never guess. I'm also willing to bet you'll be surprised, amused, and inspired by that very same book: Jim McCann's outstanding Stop and Sell the Roses.
Jim McCann, the easy-going and lovable "flower guy" who stars in his own TV ads, is arguably one of the great entrepreneurial success stories of our generation. But don't be fooled at how easy he makes it appear on television. McCann worked hard for his success and, like most other successful entrepreneurs, realized more than his share of failure as he built the organization that is now recognized worldwide as 1-800-FLOWERS. His story will astound and inspire you.
McCann's book, subtitled Lessons from Business & Life, is as enjoyable a read as you are likely to find in any business book of its kind. Within his 1-800-FLOWERS McCann has created a culture of fun in the workplace and he manages to create the same level of fun for his readers. His approach to the New Retail Paradigm will likely be modeled--to some extent--by every aspiring entrepreneur who reads this book. And in case you get carried away with the occasional bursts of laughter as you make your way through his witty and often laugh-out-loud narration, he will just as quickly silence you and bring you back to the harsh realities of entrepreneurial life with provocative statements like, "If you are an entrepreneur and you do not eat, breath, and live your business, you will very soon be an ex-entrepreneur."
Among the many lessons learned from his book, the one he stresses above all others--and the one that has stuck with me long after I finished reading it--is: first make a relationship, then do business. If you are inclined to read autobiographies of successful people as a way of gleaning some useful information to apply to your own life, Stop and Sell the Roses gets my highest recommendation.
As the name of the book implies, this book is more than simply a "how to" guide for business. It contains lessons from McCann's life and business that you will enjoy and benefit from for years to come. For those fans of the book--of which I am obviously one--we can only hope that as the retail paradigm continues to shift and 1-800-FLOWERS continues to lead the way, Jim McCann will bless his readers with a follow-up book in the near future.

Stop and Sell the Roses Specifications
In less than a decade, former social worker Jim McCann turned a nearly bankrupt florist into a 0 million enterprise that dominates the field. Stop and Sell the Roses: Lessons from Business and Life is his brightly written story of 1-800-FLOWERS, the failing company he turned around through business savvy and personal insight. Weaving the tale of his firm's odyssey with observations on his own management style, McCann offers a prescription for success centered upon individualized customer interaction that encompasses everything up to and including the Net (where 1-800-FLOWERS now does 10 percent of its business). --Howard Rothman
Stop and Sell the Roses Overviews
Lessons from Business and Life
Everybody knows Jim McCann. He's the "flower guy," the CEO of 1-800-FLOWERS, who appears in all those terrific television ads. McCann is actually a unique corporate leader who in less than a decade took his company from the verge of bankruptcy to a 0 million business that ranks as the world's largest florist. Now in this upbeat, engaging book, McCann tells the amazing story of how he bootstrapped his way to phenomenal business success--and how you can do it too.
Forget the hard sell, the killer instinct, the power suit, and the iron handshake. If you want to make a business take off these days, you need to base it on relationships--warm, real, human contact with the people you work with and sell to. McCann says it best: "Like all human relationships, business involves a need to make contact. Satisfy that need and the money will follow."
In Stop and Sell the Roses, McCann shares the secrets he learned along his unique road to success, a journey that began in one of New York's toughest neighborhoods and resulted in a multimillion-dollar business. Learn from McCann how to:
Build invaluable loyalty through emotional bonds
Pick the technology that frees up your creative time
Harness the awesome power of the brand
Prepare for crunch times and stay tough when business is slow
Make money on the Internet by reaching beyond the computer screen
Hire passionate people
Leap-frog from job to job with an eye to your long-term success
And much more!
Funny, insightful, brimming with McCann's irresistible wit and street-smart wisdom, this is a business book like no other you've ever read--a book that will make you laugh as it gives you the tools you need to build your own winning business today.

Some Flowers
Some Flowers beautifully expresses a passion for working with nature, that is at once very English and very universal. Vita Sackville Wests' love of the unusual and the seemingly ordinary is written in a concise yet tender way. The illustrations mirror the text and each compliments the other to create a truly lovely book, that definantly bears up to repeated reading and may well inspire the gardener to seek out a few specimens of their own!

Some Flowers Overviews
In "Some Flowers", first published in 1937, Vita Sackville-West took the step of choosing 25 of her favourite flowers and describing their appearance, origins and characteristics - the best ways to grow them - in a series of expressive pen portraits. The flowers she selects are not those which only have an effect en masse, but those which are lovely in shape, colouring, marking or texture. She describes native British species such as the meadow fritillary, and imports such as the half-hardy annual salpiglossis. Whereas in the original edition of this book black and white photographs did less than justice to both flowers and text, here the watercolours of Graham Rust provided a fuller complement to Vita Sackville-West's descriptions.

An Introduction to Painting Flowers Overviews
The innate delicacy and beauty of flowers make them a compelling source of inspiration and a very popular subject for artists. The essence of a good flower painting is not only the artist's ability to capture the colour and shape of leaves and petals but also to transfer the life and vigour of a living plant to paper on canvas. An Introduction to Painting Flowers provides all the essential information needed to create successful floral compositions - whatever your chosen subject or medium. The initial chapters outline what materials are available and how they can be used to create different effects. Further chapters explore how to use a sketchbook to full advantage and how to approach composition while explaining the role of colour and light in a painting. Finished paintings and step-by-step sequences demonstrate the techniques described in the text. Throughout the book, artist Elisabeth Harden emphasises the importance of accurate observation of your subject and the value of experimentation with new ideas, techniques and media. She encourages all flower painters to build up their knowledge and confidence and to find their own individual style.

The Essential Kitchen Gardener
This book is a collection of short articles on garden plants, pests, and diseases. The articles are organized in alphabetical order. Each of the plant articles begins with a short description, and then goes on to include information about planting (when, where, how), germination, care, harvesting, storing, pests and diseases, as well as tips for the kitchen and garden. In general, these articles use only the common names for the plants, and scientific names are not included. The pest articles (mainly about insects, but there are also some articles about pesky mammals and birds), are generally shorter, and include a description of the problem, how to recognize it, and how to combat it (organically). There are also a few articles on such topics as mulches and composting. Arkin includes a wide range of herbs as well as garden vegetables and fruits, and she includes notes on companion planting in the tips sections of the plants articles. The book also includes a chart of when to plant where (in the continental United States), and a garden glossary. There are decorative collage-type illustrations at the beginning of each letter of the alphabet, but no utilitarian diagrams or drawings.

Favorite Wildflowers: Of the Great Lakes and Northeastern U.S. Overviews
Wildflowers are different from many wild things in that they don't scurry away never to be seen again, and they are not afraid when we approach them. Wildflowers are wonderful. They are colorful, they smell good, and they are everywhere. They are an integral part of our environment appearing almost as if by magic in our backyards, neighborhoods, local parks, woods, and fields. With a little effort, we can become acquainted with the wildflowers of our yards and neighborhoods, learn their names, and even a little more about them. You will find yourself looking forward to them each year and will discover that you learn something new each season. The purpose of this book is five-fold. First, it will help you learn to identify the most common wildflowers in any neighborhood, field, yard, or park. Second, you will learn about the basic anatomy of the plant and its flowers as an aid in the identification process. Third, you will come to appreciate the role of the wildflower in the world of nature. It is exciting to realize that the Goldfinch feeding on the thistledown of the Bull Thistle could mean the young are in a nest nearby, or that perhaps the Finch is taking the thistledown to build a nest. It is fascinating to know the Teasel head will soon be getting two rings of flowers as it continues blooming, and if it is to be used in a dried fall flower arrangement we need to bring gloves in order to handle it safely. The fourth purpose of this book is to encourage you to use these plants in your own backyards and gardens. Many of these plants can be successfully used to enhance the landscape design. Often this can be done as effortlessly as collecting seeds or digging a plant or two. However, care must be taken not to violate any laws or the integrity of another's property. Many wildflower gardeners are willing to share. Wildflower gardening is very popular and many gift catalogs exist as well as local garden shops that can take care of your needs. As this book cannot possibly cover all the wildflowers, the fifth purpose is to pique your curiosity and encourage you to learn more about other plants and wildflowers.

Seed Leaf Flower Fruit (Maryjo Koch Series)
As a homeschooling mom I am always on the look-out for captivating books. This book is hand printed and ilustrated extensively in Maryjo's delicate watercolors. A "living book" that will enhance your scientific look at seeds, flowers, leaves, trees, and fruit. Her informative articles merge with her botanical illustrations like a Naturalists nature notebook. Perfect compliment to Handbook of Nature Study, by Anna Comstock and Country Diary of an Edwardian Lady, by Edith Holden. Beneficial to all ages.

Seed Leaf Flower Fruit (Maryjo Koch Series) Specifications
"Good farmers are artists. They paint the landscape with squash, corn, celery, beans, and a cornucopia of other fruits and vegetables. Their tools are the rake, the hoe, the pitchfork, the shovel, and the shears. Like all artists, they seek to balance technique with heart and harmony." Maryjo Koch celebrates the beauty of the natural world, mixing plenty of charm and wit into the scientific formula. For instance, did you know that the dandelion is named for its jagged leaves, which resemble a lion's teeth?
Though most adults will already know the "body plan" of a flower, the information is presented in such an appealing fashion as to bring out the eager student in all of us. Each page takes a unique approach to its subject matter and shows off Koch's wide variety of illustrative styles--straight naturalist paintings alongside cherubs sleeping in a lily pond. "Barking up the right tree" is Koch's way of imparting a tidbit about the importance of a tree's bark and how not to damage a tree by toying with this outer layer. Venture through eccentric English gardens, Japanese gardens, formal French gardens, topiary, and the fine art garden. As Claude Monet said, "More than anything I must have flowers, always, always."

The Complete Gardener
I saw this book at the university store and I paged thru expecting an encyclopedia but to my suprize there were excellent photos and many ideas for gardens. I purchased the book for my gardening expert(my MOM) for Christmas. I am sure she will enjoy the new ideas. This is a good book for those people who have space indoors or outdoors to make arrangments and gardens. I recommend this book to those that spend many hours on their plants a week already.

The Complete Gardener Specifications
Billing itself as "the most comprehensive, practical, and creative book yet produced for the gardening enthusiast," The Complete Gardener has some very lofty ambitions. The author, John Brookes, is a respected landscape designer whose work might be familiar to readers of Good Housekeeping and House and Garden. Here he's taken his extensive knowledge and divided it into the two general categories of outdoor and indoor gardening, leaving no stone unturned in either arena. More of an encyclopedia than a typical gardening book, this extensive volume certainly can't be accused of being misnamed. Whether it achieves its stated goals is up to individual interpretation. However, there are sections covering nearly every conceivable gardening situation--from a town garden with a backdrop to a rural garden with a barn, caring for bonsai to arranging dried flowers--and with such a wide range of topics there is hardly a subject imaginable that this book doesn't address. The ample text is informative and quite detailed, supporting photos and illustrations are used liberally, and numerous charts are provided for quick reference and to summarize larger sections. While some of the photography appears dated, especially the shots depicting the use of plants in interior design, the related information and advice is generally timeless in its theory and suggested application. --George Laney
