Lindsay, Anne. Smart Cooking: Quick and Tasty Recipes for Healthy Living. Toronto: Macmillan Canada, 1996. Print.

(This is not the same edition that I read.)

Decades of articles from the Old House Journal.  A great reference, probably, but I discovered that it’s impossible to sit and just read.  I’ll get it again when I have a particular old-house problem to solve.

A small but useful book.  The first part, on layout, was most useful to me.  She got into a bunch of typography stuff at the end that I thought would find interesting, but really just went over my head.

I was a little leery of reading something biographical from one of my favourite childhood authors, in case it made me respect her less as a writer or person.  I also thought this might be pretty depressing, since I knew that it involved in part a serious illness of her husband.  However, I enjoyed it in a quiet way.  I particularly liked the parts about when they were young and courting, and the descriptions of their lives when he was in the theatre.
