More of the same.......2007-01-10
I have read three of Leah's books now and the advice appears to be the same in each. Whilst on the one hand this means the author is consistent in her advice on what constitutes style and how to attain it affordably, on the other hand there is little new material to pick up from each new book.
Taught me a lot about how to dress.......2005-08-16
I bought this book as a young teenager and used it for many years as a reference guide for how to dress for occasions where I was unsure how to look. I came from a less-than-privileged background (we weren't poor, but my parents were teachers and there wasn't a lot of money) but many of my friends were from affluent families. My grandmothers and mother are very classy people and they did their best to teach me about how to dress, but they had no experience with, say, dressing for a golf tournament dinner or for a day on a sailboat.
Over the years, through college and my professional career, I would refer back to this book a lot. Yes, the drawings are dated; yes, some of the advice is dated. But there are some great tips in this book about how to buy basics for your wardrobe that will last for years, how to recognize quality fabrics and workmanship, how to combine high-end and low-end items for a complete polished look, what looks always work and what will always be questionable, etc. If you come from a working-class background, but because of your job or your spouse's social status you need to socialize with affluent people, it is great to have a guide telling you what works and what doesn't, and how not to make a fool out of yourself. That is what this book did for me. Over the years I have used the advice in the book over and over, to build a classic, conservative, professional wardrobe that helps me whether I am going to an important meeting at work or a black-tie charity function.
There are some sections of the book that you have to take with a grain of salt, especially since now this book is over 20 years old. But if you are totally at a loss about what to wear to a given social event, or you feel you're at a disadvantage because you socialize with people who can afford much better clothes than you can, this book is a great primer about what to wear. It's a classic, and the advice is still as relevant today as it was back when the book was written.
Get Your Hands on a Copy ASAP!.......2004-03-02
I have read all of Leah Feldon's books, and Dressing Rich is my all-time favourite. Yes, some of the information is dated, such as references to former First Ladies, etc, but the underlying principles still apply. If you put into practice the principles in this book, trust me, everyone will think you're loaded, even if you're far from it.
Very Dated.......2003-02-01
I really enoyed Leah Feldon's book, "Does This Make Me Look Fat" and wanted to read some more of her work. Based on the good reviews this book received and the interesting chapter titles, I ordered it sight unseen.
Be warned-this book is from 1982. Nancy Reagen is often held up as a rich dressing woman to emulate. (What?!)Most of the fashion drawings show very heavily padded shoulders and wide belt styles a la 1980s. But worst of all, the 1980 advice often contradicts Leah Feldon's 2000 advice. For example: 2000 advice: wear dark colors-author's wardrobe is mostly black & dark colors-looks richer.1980 advice:off white jackets and slacks are "fashion essentials." (Miami Vice?) Even the cover is a contradiction-in the book the author states that long hair never looks elegant hanging loose,yet the cover shows a woman with a mane of hot-rollered slightly frizzy long hair hanging loose.
Sure the book covers basic concepts like cashmere makes for a rich sweater, and the fashion "types" in the first chapter are interesting. Had I been able to see this book in person though, I would have immediately dismissed it as dated. Buy instead, her new book from this decade.
Still valuable after 14 years.......2002-12-11
I bought this book in 1988, just out of college, and I still keep it handy. It's very useful for special events, business situations, you name it. Also fun to read, and helpful in planning "investment" purchases. This book has saved me lots of money, and has helped me figure out how to use things I already have. Just a terrific book.
Book Description
What it was like to be as rich as Rockefeller: How a house gave shape and meaning to three generations of an iconic American family
One hundred years ago America’s richest man established a dynastic seat, the granite-clad Kykuit, high above the Hudson River. Though George Vanderbilt’s 255-room Biltmore had recently put the American country house on the money map, John D. Rockefeller, who detested ostentation, had something simple in mind—at least until his son John Jr. and his charming wife, Abby, injected a spirit of noblesse oblige into the equation. Built to honor the senior Rockefeller, the house would also become the place above all others that anchored the family’s memories. There could never be a better picture of the Rockefellers and their ambitions for the enormous fortune Senior had settled upon them.
The authors take us inside the house and the family to observe a century of building and rebuilding—the ebb and flow of events and family feelings, the architecture and furnishings, the art and the gardens. A complex saga, The House the Rockefellers Built is alive with surprising twists and turns that reveal the tastes of a large family often sharply at odds with one another about the fortune the house symbolized.

Rockerfellers House.......2007-08-02
I read this book from an architect's viewpoint, and it squares with my experience that there is something about homebuilding that is intensely personal. Much has been written about visionary Designers. In fact, it is the clients who hire and steer those designers who are writing their world views large. I visited Kykuit once and thought the design was quirky for a pile from the mansion age...quirky but with vim & vigor, bold but not bombastic. Now I know how it got to be that way.
Book Description
"‘Good taste’ is synonymous with success in all fields of life. It’s not a question of money, but of a trained eye.”
Taste is proportion. Taste is civility. Taste is the mot juste. Taste is in play wherever educated people gather. Taste treats men and women, friends and strangers considerately.
Taste cannot be bought, but only learned and practiced. In our modern times, the elegance and taste that characterized and defined such contemporary figures as Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis has been overshadowed by gaudy wealth. But Tish Baldrige reminds us of the hallmarks of taste and its continued importance today.
Taste is a book that, today, has its perfect author and proponent in Letitia "Tish" Baldrige, a Taste and Manners Icon for at least 50 years. Her appearances on TV talk shows have steadily increased, most recently (in August) on "Good Morning, America."
Customer Reviews:
Bland.......2007-09-25
This book is based on a wonderful premise: 1)taste is subjective and varies with each individual; 2)taste is not naturally inborn, it is something that can be acquired and refined. I had high hopes for this book, unfortunately I was disappointed. I give credit to Baldridge for being sensitive to personal preferences, particularly those influenced by non-European cultures. She also tries to remain current and makes references to the new McMansions and Paris Hilton. However, I would have liked to see more suggestions on how one can refine his/her taste, or at least how to gain more exposure to the finer things that have long been exclusive to elites. Instead what we get are meandering anecdotes that don't really seem to have a point. To acquire taste, she writes, one should look look look look look at everything. That is the extent of her advice. It would have been nice if she had suggested some criteria to determine what is tacky and what isn't? Workmanship? Quality of materials? Popularity? Beauty? Utility? Value/Market price? I don't know. That's why I bought the book. I returned it for a refund the next day, by the way.
Tired material with a whiff of the "has been.".......2007-09-14
This book is just another rehash of the author's links to the Luce Ambassadorship/Kennedy White House/Hoving Tiffany world. It is a bit sad that the "exclusiveness" of former times, compared to today's fly by media, has made it so that too many reach back to Baldrige's time and the whole Babe Paley & company, Black and White Ball era. This book reads like a long afternoon of name-dropping by a maiden aunt. I can't help but think of Baldrige as a has-has been, who continues to milk her experiences--so many years ago--for all they are worth. Terrible book.
I'm sure Ms. Baldrige means well, but..........2007-08-29
Leticia Baldrige does indeed have qualifications to speak on etiquette and protocol in the Beltway. No one can argue with that. The book, Taste, is only worth reading for the recent historical perspective but in term of true guidance for how we should live our lives today, I feel a certain disconnect is happening between Ms. Baldrige and the reader. Ms. Baldridge may have something to say that is possibly very true, but I fear that most people today don't want to hear it...because they are tired of the dictates that are simply not relevant to their everyday lives.
From what I've read in the book "Taste", It's clear to me that Ms. Baldrige is still living in the "Camelot" past...and she has fallen into the same trap that many in the "silent" and earlier Boomer generation have: Constantly comparing the supposedly "correct" and "superior" ways of yesteryear against what's happening today in terms of conduct of life issues. It's as if we're really supposed to believe all those people walked 20 miles to school in the snow...uphill...fighting wolves all the way lol.
However, Ms. Baldrige really can't help some of her stuffiness because it's become an ingrained habit as she has long worshipped at the feet of the oligarchy that she so desperately wanted to be a part of. Ms. Baldrige reminds me of the awkward "charity student" at some private prep school whom no matter how hard she tried to pull herself up by her bootstraps, she never really quite fit in...and instead of being part of the true inner circle, she found herself being taken advantage of by the snobby girls who just let her tag along, hold their coats and do their homework for them...and even if they did invite her to their "society weddings" she still didn't really belong...she was regarded as merely the hired help in a borrowed designer gown and jewelry.
No, most of us don't like the s-l-u-t chic that's out there as demonstrated by Paris Hilton or the other Hollywood 20-somethings that are constantly in the tabloids, but who says that today's women really want to be constantly pressured to conform to the social dictates of long dead "tastemakers" and socialites like Caroline Astor, Clare Booth Luce, Coco Chanel, Diana Vreeland, Jackie Kennedy or even Princess Diana? Who says we must always worship at their altars?
I'd say most of us modern women want and demand the freedom to think for ourselves and to develop our own style and to define what is 'tasteful' in our own unique ways without having some elegant hanger-on passing as the Old Guard looking her nose down on us. In all honesty, it's time for Ms. Baldgridge to pass on the mantle and then settle into genteel, quiet retirement.
Very Dissapointed.......2007-07-27
I was so exited to see this book on the shelves. I purchased it immediately and rushed home to read it. I was soon dismayed though when I found the book to be more of a personal account of who she admired and why, than a guide for aquiring taste in one's life. There was a lot of irrelevant information about Jaquelyn Kennedy, and quite a bit of name dropping. The author even suggested that wearing blue jeans in any situation is tasteless. I kept trying to give this book a chance, but half way through I returned it.
The advice for which you have been waiting..........2007-07-04
This book contains the advice you have been looking for from that fabulous elder aunt. The book has been divided into five sections: Just Who Is This Person of Taste?; Good Taste in Fashion; Go, See and Educate Your Eye, Good Taste for Entertaining; and Tasteful Surrounds. In each section, La Baldrige tells tales of the iconic women whom she had the privilege of knowing, the official "rules" regarding each topic and, at times, she expounds on the standards of taste in today's society.
Just like your fabulous aunt.
But, just like your fabulous aunt, you will not agree with all of her expectations and, sometimes, her tales read more like a good Vogue magazine article than a book.
If you are looking for an academic analysis of the demoralization of society, this is not the book for you. If you are looking for a book that is a quick read, full of guidance (however personally impractical it might be for you, the reader) and stories of iconic women straight from the source, buy it and enjoy!!

Only a few weeks before his 1890 suicide, Vincent van Gogh painted a portrait of Paul-Ferdinand Gachet, a local physician the painter had been fruitlessly consulting about his depression. Upon his death, the painting, like much of van Gogh's work, went to his brother, Theo. A few years later, Theo's widow sold it for 300 francs (worth, then, $58). In 1990, a wealthy Japanese businessman paid $82.5 million at a Christie's auction for it and promptly hid it away in a Tokyo warehouse, where it presumably remains to this day.
Cynthia Saltzman traces the painting's provenance through a century of art collecting and cultural politics. Along the way, the portrait passes through--among others--the hands of early modernist collectors, the Nazi regime (where it was shown as part of an exhibit of "degenerate" art), and New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art. In addition to a detailed account of the circumstances of each change of possession (it slipped out of the Nazis' hands, for example, when Herman Goerring needed a quick transfusion of hard currency), Saltzman provides a sensitive appraisal of the changing critical reputation of van Gogh and of the fluctuating market for "masterpieces" on canvas. Portrait of Dr. Gachet is an art history which never loses sight of the fact that art history is always a subset of a larger history.
Book Description
In 1990, at a star-studded auction, a painting was sold for the astonishing price of $82.5 million--a record-breaking price. That painting, Portrait of Dr. Gachet, was one of Vincent van Gogh's last. Painted exactly one hundred years earlier, this revolutionary and haunting painting has seemed to countless admirers to portray modern life, in van Gogh's words, as something bright in spite of its inevitable griefs. This fascinating book reconstructs the painting's journey and becomes a rich story of modernist art and the forces behind the art market. Masterfully evoked are the lives of the thirteen extraordinary people who owned the painting and shaped its history: avant-garde European collectors, pioneering dealers in Paris and Berlin, a brilliant medievalist who acquired it for one of Germany's great museums, and a member of the Nazi elite who sold it after it had been confiscated as a work of degenerate art. Shortly before the war, the canvas was sent to America before its owner, a Jewish refugee, fled Europe. A remarkable and riveting read in the tradition of Lynn Nicholas's The Rape of Europa, Portrait of Dr. Gachet illuminates, in dramatic detail, the dynamics of the art market and of culture in our time.

From $0 To $82,500,000.......2000-09-14
While reading about the history of the Sotheby's and Christie's Auction Houses the story of the highest priced paid for a painting at auction was quite a tale. I qualify my comment with an auction sale, as the possibility exists that somewhere an individual may have spent more. Based on what I have read I doubt it, for even with all the deception in the art world, secrets are not particularly well kept.
Ms. Cynthia Saltzman has written a scholarly work that is readable by anyone who enjoys well-written history, or even a novel. The course this painting has taken in a bit more than 110 years is as extraordinary as the price paid when it was last sold.
Vincent Van Gogh was a troubled man who managed to produce a rather large body or work before tragically taking his own life. There are dozens of speculations as to the manner of disease he suffered, but suffer he did. Van Gogh did not live to see any appreciation of his art, and even for years after his death his work was not of any renown nor sought after. This final portrait that he was to paint did not sell for 7 years after his death, and even then the purchase price was $58 in US currency.
Over the next 14 years the painting would again change hands 4 more times, and with the last of the 4 sales became a museum piece for the first time. The locale was Frankfurt, the year 1911, and the price $3861. It was this last move that was to place this painting and hundreds of others into a collection of Art deemed "degenerate" by the Nazis of Hitler's Germany. The piece also was in the possession of Herman Goering briefly. Fortunately for the painting it was sold outside of Germany, where a new owner would hold it for the next 52 years. The Germans may have thought it degenerate for propaganda purposes, but money was another matter. While the painting was confiscated, when sold in 1938 the passing 17 years brought the value to $20,000.
Until the next and final sale the painting would be hung in a home in New York City, the property of private collectors. When the "crazy years" of the art market arrived impressionist work was in great demand, much of which was generated from Japan. For in 1995 Mr. Saito paid $82.5 million, and then 2 days later another $78.5 million was spent by the same man on a Renoir. What has happened since then really has to be read as it would make a great novel were it fiction.
Ms. Saltzman has done an amazing job of documentary work, and added the history of the times surrounding the work, as well as those who sought the piece, and the personalities of those who came in contact with, or were the temporary custodians of the work, "The Gachet".
A wonderful read for anyone who enjoys a good story written with consummate skill and style.
Portrait of Dr. Gachet:The story of a Van Gogh.......2000-02-18
It was very interesting story for me to know this masterpiece's history. However, it was too much skipped the history in Japanese period and sometimes I did feel that she has a prejudice against Japanese culture. She investigated history in Europe very well but less investigation in Japan ! I wanted her to investigate it more. Anyway, it was very interesting and I want to recommend it very much.
Hey, Starry Night would go for 100,000,000$!.......1999-08-13
She veers off into things that really don't pertain to the needed info about Vincent V. Too much like a history lesson on WW2! How about some info on other masterpieces and there values like, is Starry night worth more than Dr.Gachet? Some art experts put it over that and the value of the Mona Lisa(125,000,000!)Also where is the painting at now and go into why Saito kept it away from the public!?The book in my opinion was done too early!Hey, why don't I write the sequel I could do alot better job in my opinion!
An All-Time Favorite.......1999-05-22
The history of a single work of art from conception, several owners, war, and fame as the record-holder for highest price for a painting at auction, this book is nothing short of amazing. Cynthia Saltzman's concept is fresh and her writing ludcid. This is a book you won't be able to put down. It has everything a good story should have; suspense, tragedy, triumph, and action. I found myself holding my breath, though I knew the outcome, as I read about the auction of the Portrait of Dr. Gachet.
This is a book I heartily recommend, and so far, everyone I've leant it to or purchased it for has loved it just as much as I have.
Melancholy Portrait Still Provoking Response.......1998-09-11
The stories of the owners and caretakers of the portrait, from its beginning to present, create a colorful tapestry of their own. For someone who is not intimate with the negotiations of the art world, the book is informative and surprising. It may not have been the author's intention, but I also felt a thread of sadness and melancholy, as though the artist and the subject still have an investment in the future of the canvas. Perhaps it is the awareness that all the owners eventually gave it up and that the current owner has removed it from sight. The author of this book has given us the facts, but has also invested those facts with meaning which speaks clearly about the impact of the artistic process, if one is willing to consider beyond the obvious.

For the best dishes with the simplest instructions.......1999-05-21
This book was written when I was three years old by my grandmother. It was typed by my mother, who learned alot from hers. I grew up a lucky child, for not only did I eat excellent meals everyday, but I rarely ate the same meal twice in a month. 85% of the meals I ate growing up were out of this book. The greatest recipies from her roast chicken to her wonderful desserts. It not only tells you in detail how to prepare some of the best recipies in the world, but there are blurbs from Happy herself, entertaining quips about her start in the kitchen. Very entertaining, also extremely useful. If you are looking for great food look no farther. Ted Van Singel- Grandson

Book Description
A novel based on the true story of a dirty Boston cop. Six shots fired from a .357 magnum handgun disrupted the quiet solitude of Maine's Belgrade Lakes Great Pond. All fired at close range, the bullets had done their job. Terrence Maloney was dead. The one-time newspaper reporter would now become the subject of a news story instead of its author. And the story would expose secrets which not only explain why his wife of fifteen years killed him, but also his link to a massive drug trade in which his partner was a Boston cop.
Drugs and guns are a deadly combination when greed creates a desire, which demands satisfaction... a desire fueled by a taste for money.
In his second novel based on actual events, police veteran turned author, Peter Mars again enters the world of rogue cops telling a story that the Boston Police do not want you to know. After all, no police agency wants its good reputation tarnished. From his thirty years in law enforcement, Mars brings to the surface the corruption and criminal activity usually kept hidden from the public. And the pristine woods of Maine make an ideal hiding place for two men also wanting to keep their illicit business a secret.
A Taste for Money delves into the background and lives of men bent on using their positions of respect and power as a means to by-pass the law while satisfying their hunger for monetary wealth.

ATL, BOLO ALL COPS.......2003-08-15
Attention All Cops: These books are Fantastic! As with all of Peters' books, this one I could not put down. They are all fun to read,and very well written!! Being a police officer myself, I can relate, you will too. Every one (yes, even us cops) who enjoys a good book MUST read these!! Enjoy!!!
A Taste For Money........2000-12-09
Wow! What an excellent book! As soon as i started i could not stop. I finished in 3 days. The compelling story of 3 men overcome with the plague of greed is absolutely fantastic. Great graphic accounts and and overall outstanding job in all areas of the book. This book satisfied my thirst for mystery,action,and a law enforcement genre of a book. Every account was significant and the story unfolded very vividly thus,making the book one of the best i have ever read. Now i cant wait to read both of the others. Pete i wont hesitate to say YOU are the man and thanks for the good read.
"taste of Money".......2000-11-11
What in incrediable book. I started reading it and just could not put it down. These boston police officers did what, most parents of young children want to do to drug dealers.
I can not wait to read Pete Mars next book The Tunnell.
Peter Mars does it again.......2000-09-20
If you like "true crime" you will enjoy this tale of a rogue cop on the take. Once Mr Mars completes his tedious research of his characters he writes a poweful novel about their greed that certainly is a page turner. Right from the very first "pay off" Joseph O'Fallon will take you on a ride through New England that you wont forget. You will ask yourself does crime really pay or doesn't it. So read it and find out what happens to Joseph O'Fallon and his cronies. You won't be able to put this book down. I'm waiting for his next book to be released in October.
Brilliant!.......2000-09-15
Another brilliantly written novel. Peter Mars has hit the mark point blank! This story is reveling and very believable. I can see what happens when power and the burning desire for money are melded together. This story painted a crisp picture in my mind nailing me to my chair. This book is in hot competition with his other book "The Tunnel".

If you've ever tried eating fat-free tortilla chips or putting fat-free cheese on your homemade pizza, you understand the premise of this book: fat-free often means taste-free. This book looks at the fat-free and low-fat foods available in most supermarkets--from bacon to yogurt--and tells you what you really want to know about them: Do they taste good? Elaine Magee, a registered dietitian, also explains how eating these "healthier" foods can still make you gain weight (they're loaded with sugar in lieu of fat), and how best to use them to avoid that consequence.
Book Description
Your guide to the best of the "lights." Finding low-fat and fat-free brand-name foods that taste good doesn't have to be a guessing game. Registered dietitian Elaine Magee has conducted taste tests for everything from salad dressings to frozen dinners, and shares the results in this handy guide that reveals the best and worst low-fat and fat-free products in the supermarket. You'll save time and money by knowing which foods to try and which to avoid. Taste vs. Fat includes rankings and tasters' comments in a variety of categories, including: • Cookies, crackers, and chips • Frozen dinners and pizzas • Cold cuts and meats • Dairy products • Baking mixes The book also includes tips on avoiding products that are fat free but high in sugar and calories, understanding nutrition claims on food labels, and preparing mixes with less fat.

very disapointed.......2005-09-20
I thought by the discription of the book I was getting actual surveys of low or no fat products. Some products in the book I've never heard of. Some families were listed as never even trying the products. How is that a survey?
