Proudly promoting itself as "the largest home building organization in the world;" Sears; Roebuck and Company advertised in 1932 products in a handsome catalog that also displayed a full-size replica of Mount Vernon; created from Sears materials for a Paris exposition in 1932.At the heart of this now-rare publication were measured floor plans for 68 Sears homes. Over 200 illustration displayed interiors and exteriors for such handsome residences as the Belmont; a six-room house with vestibule; breakfast alcove; three bedrooms; and one-and-a-half baths; and the Dover; an English-styled cottage with a massive chimney and unusual roof lines. Photographs of some interiors revealed a furnished living room with paneled side walls and hewed oak ceiling beams; a spacious kitchen with contemporary appliances; a 60-foot living room with a huge stone fireplace; built-in bookshelves; a vaulted ceiling; and other designs.An invaluable sourcebook for restorationists; this handsome volume will also be of use to people interested in preserving homes of the period. It will be welcomed by anyone who relishes a glimpse of Americas architectural past.

How to begin a career in Voice Acting from the beginning to the end. An easy read. Good reference resource. Makes me want to stop everything Im doing to finish the book so I can begin following up step by step on what to do to be a successful voice actor. My "Go To" book on Voice Acting: "How to get into character;" "How to record a demo;" "How do prepare for an audition." "How to market yourself." The list goes on and on. A great contender in the voice acting world!3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. The BEST. ComprehensiveBy kandiamoThe BEST. Comprehensive; well arranged; packed with tips; insight and practice. for Dummies books can sometimes be too glib to be useful; but this one was packed with information. Saw it first at the libarary but knew I had to have my own to take notes in the margins. Well done!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Five StarsBy GwenGreat
