When Tirzah Garwood was 18 she went to Eastbourne School of Art and here she was taught by the artist Eric Ravilious. Over the next four years she did many wood engravings and these were widely praised and several were displayed by the Society of Wood Engravers. Alas, after she and Eric were married in 1930 a large part of her time was spent on domestic chores. In 1935 she had the first of her three children. In 1942 – the year she was operated on for breast cancer – she wrote her autobiography (in the evening, after the children were in bed); this has now been published with the title Long Live Great Bardfield: The Autobiography of Tirzah Garwood.
When she began her autobiography Tirzah wrote: ‘I hope, dear reader, that you may be one of my descendants, but as I write a German aeroplane has circled round above my head taking photographs of the damage that yesterday’s raiders have done, reminding me that there is no certainty of our survival. If you are not one of my descendants then all I ask of you is that you love the country as I do, and when you come into a room, discreetly observe its pictures and its furnishings, and sympathise with painters and craftsmen.’
Tirzah quickly found her own inimitable tone in Long Live Great Bardfield: unshowy, understated, uninhibited, matter of fact, human (so human) and funny. ‘I had bought the tortoises from Woolworth’s to save them from death in the same spirit that we [later] offered our home to German refugees.’ Her story is important not just as the portrait of a group of artists in the interwar years (why this particular outbreak of talent hasn’t been made into a film one can’t imagine) but because it expresses her individuality and brilliance and humanity as she chronicles the life of a woman struggling to lead an artistic life amidst the constraints of childcare and housework. In the words of Virginia Woolf, ‘How any woman with a family ever put pen to paper I cannot fathom. Always the bell rings and the baker calls’.

Needed this for a law class and it worked great
Format: Spiral-bound, Format: Spiral-bound
Love the binding on the side to make it easier to read/access pages. Everything in this book was laid out well and I was able to use it for several semesters of school. It matched up with the professors version at the time and I had no issues.

1rst time transaction with more to come in the future!
Format: Spiral-bound
Absolutely saved my a** in a class (Legal Research) where the book was noted in a syllabus but not listed in the class registration as "required materials". Realized the need after starting an assignment 4 weeks into the semester. The instructor was no help asking if I had noted her announcement in the 3rd week.
Thank you very much for meeting your written commitments especially the time of delivery. Teh price was very reasonable considering the pricing from suppliers such as Pearson or Magraw-Hill. (Prices through suppliers were nearly double and that included nearly triple on the shipping)
Feel free to edit as needed for vendor relationships! LOL

I Hate This Book, BUT You HAVE to Purchase It....Unfortunately
Format: Spiral-bound
It's not that I really hate this book, I more hate the organizations that produces this book. First, I'm assuming this has not been done, but the editors of all the "prestigious" law reviews who write and edit this book need to get their act together and hire a professional company to rework the appendix and table of contents to be more helpful! The information is surely in the book, but it's unnecessarily overly difficult to find the information you're looking for. The Blue Book(tm) indeed has a monopoly on the legal citation market, which is why you MUST purchase it (unless you'd prefer to look like a moron when you submit your documents to the court only to have them sent back because nothing was cited properly...you don't want to be known as "that attorney").
Ok, I'm amending my complaint/review. The book is not too bad once you spend around 100 hours with it. After that, you'll get the hang of it and the book is not that bad. Although, I still stand behind my last review recommending that the editors provide a better table of contents and index.
