La Jolla.A Celebration of its Past
There are other charming books written about the jewel-by-the-sea, La Jolla, but this one adds a special touch that enhances our beautiful resort with fascinating facts from the past. Famous names such as Irving J. Gill, the architect, Ellen Browning Scripps, Charles and Anne Lindbergh, Gregory Peck, and Cliff Robertson, to name a few.
The world renowned Scripps Institute of Oceanography with its pioneers, such as Roger Revelle, is one of the many outstanding features and facts of a well written record of our paradise-on-earth village.

Though not a native of La Jolla, I have visited it since 1938. I moved my residence here in 1985.

I have sent this book to family and friends out of town who have also become intrigued with this Town with the Funny Name by Max Miller.

Indeed, anyone, anywhere, interested in history and the arts will open a book filled with them.

La Jolla: A Celebration of its Past
My husband is very impressed with Patricia Daly-Lipe's book, so much so that I haven't had a chance to read it yet. He has read a number of books about our home town of La Jolla and found this one to be truly superior to the typical tourist offering. The overall quality of the book is demonstrated by the breadth of the topics covered coupled with the knowledgable glimpses of La Jolla offered by several resident authors. ... Read more

A Priceless Job Search Resource
The new edition of "Fashion Careers - 4th Edition (2008) is must read! This self-directed workbook helped me develop a job strategy that really worked. I improved my resume to make it a more powerful marketing tool and found that the updated research section enabled me to search industry by industry to target the right type of networking contacts. Finally, the section on interviewing techniques and questions was invaluable in my preparation for upcoming interviews. My answers have become more complete and natural, and as a result I have much greater confidence.

Looking for a career change?
This book was a helpful reference and gave some helpful tips and examples of resumes and cover letters but seemed to be directed more towards individuals looking for a career change or those already working within the industry. However, if you're just out of school as an entry-level applicant your focus with putting together a resume and portfolio is already in practice. The manual could've had more helpful sections for entry-level. ... Read more
