 "The Mothership of French Cooking" 2009-08-28
By D. Anderson (Hammond, Louisiana)
Love this book! Shame on me for tossing out my mother's original copy many years ago. Thanks to Julie Powell and Julia Child I have a renewed interest in French food. Some of the recipes are complex, some very simple. The best part is the overview the reader gets from each secion. I will never cook everything out of this book, but when I need a classic French dish, this is the book for me!

 "All cook books are nice." 2009-08-26
By Peter J. Mills
How could you not like the cooking? If you have the right tool and the right ingredients, and follow the instructions, how could you go wrong?

 "French cooking" 2009-08-25
By Elaine Bonus (Butler, PA)
Since I saw the movie, I went right onto Amazon to buy the book and it was half off the bookstore price. This book is so informative. I have already made a few recipes, but I really am looking forward to making the sauces.

 "A little caution" 2009-08-24
By misspeach (Boston, MA)
First of all, I'm a huge Julia fan, have owned this book since 1973, and saw the movie on opening weekend. I have also been to culinary school and own shelves full of cookbooks. I sometimes spend an entire day planning and cooking dinner. I have to say, however, that all of the gushing about this book surprises me. I have a 48" professional range and cupboards full of pots and pans, and I often run out of stovetop space and cooking vessels while preparing some of her recipes. I'm of the "fine ingredients cooked with respect" school of cooking, and Julia most often cooks her vegetables to death, and I'm not sure "medium rare" is in her vocabulary. Her pastry is to die for, her bread (vol 2) is heavenly, and the chocolate almond cake featured in the movie is one of my all time favorite cake recipes. The instructions in the book are clear, and I'm assuming that they have been updated since my edition was published. By all means this cookbook should be in your collection, but if you're looking for a cookbook with the best sauce instructions, I would choose the little gem from Williams Sonoma that is just sauces with wonderful photos of the whole process, and if you want French flavor with a more modern approach, I'd suggest Ina Garten's Barefoot in Paris. Her beouf is wonderfully tasty and takes just one pot. I'm not a fan of the 30 minutes till dinner cookbooks, but Mastering the Art of French Cooking is not the first cookbook I'd choose for a beginner. And if you're going to eat from Julia every night, be sure to serve French portions as well as French food.

 "Neat concept but poor execution" 2009-08-29
By Amazon Buyer
I give this book kudos for being a page turner and for having a really neat concept done quite well. My problem with this book is that character development. The book coins itself as an epic love story, and yet I never really feel the love. The emotions and the reasons behind them do not seem very real. For this reason, I never really fell in love with the characters like I have in other "romance" novels like "The Notebook."



Pros: Very interesting concept

Cons: Poor character development

 "read this years ago..." 2009-08-29
By ChristyW (Virginia)
I read this book a few years ago & it is still one of my favorite reads. It is like no other book you will ever read. It is heartwreching, wonderful, unique love story with a time travel element. This books is tragic & beautiful. I cannot say enough about it. It's so different that it's hard to explain...just read it!

 "Review of The Time Traveler's Wife" 2009-08-29
By P. R. Lewis (Southeast LA, USA)
The format of the novel is that of reading journal entries for the two main characters, Henry and Clare. Since time travel is involved, the entries are listed giving the date and the age of the characters, however, not in chronological order. This provides the reader with a feel for the spontaneity of time travel. The novel is neither boring nor predictable. I found that the journalistic format allows the reader to develop a personal understanding and an attachment to the characters and to the unique situation they endure throughout their lives. Without giving the story away, I'll say that I enjoyed it immensely - it kept my interest, kept me reading long after I should have been asleep, and had me going through a full range of emotions. The characters had a deep love for one another, but I can't imagine trying to sustain a relationship under the hardship created by time traveling. All in all a very good book. Well-crafted writing; the author fills the book with detailed descriptions that create visions in the reader's mind. The author has given the timeworn idea of a romance novel a unique twist for the enjoyment of her readers. You won't go wrong with this book. It's a keeper.

EXCELLENT! loved the book, its a great escape! i highly recommend this! the movie is good as well, eric bana cant go wrong there!!!

 "Romantic but not practical." 2009-08-28
By Lauren Finney
The book is a Romantic read, no wonder is a popular read. Because as a woman, we all like romance stories. But it is not up to my expectations, I was expecting something relate to any subject about time travel. But it has none, but a romantic story. If you want to read a genuine time travel book, read this book, "Mastering Time Travel:Voyage Through Time" by the author Sapphire.

 "Reliable, Secure, & Stable" 2009-08-18
By J. C. Wallace (Texas gulf coast)
It connects my Pentax 10x50 binoculars to my 60" Vista tripod. Both ends are easy to attach and detach, and the molded plastic body feels solid. It meets my expectations at a good price.

 "Good product for Bushnell Binoculars 20 x 50" 2008-11-17
By C. Ibanez
I have a Bushnell Binoculars 20 x 50; this adapter works fine. Only screw the adapter to the binoculars and use them in a tripod.

 "Bushnell Binocular Tripod Adaptor " 2008-11-11
By H. A. Syed (NC - USA)
This adapter is not something high tech. It just attaches the binocular to the tripod stand and it goes in the front in the middle so easy to work with. It fits and works for me or you can say that it does its job (as compared to some reviwers those who have complained for certain things). I am using on bushnell binoculars so have no issue of compatability.



One thing that I noticed is that as this adapter holds the heavy binocular from the center so the two sides tend to swing on either side while viewing (like a see saw) and the adapter screw get loose from the binocular and as my kids were using they dropped the binocular but luckily it did not break. Otherwise without a tripod it is difficult to view clearly using heavy binoculars because of slight shake/movement.

 "Works...nothing more - nothing less" 2008-04-17
By Dirt Ronin (PA USA)
Works perfect with my Bushnell Powerview 16x50 Wide Angle Binoculars. I agree with Rima below - VERY awkward to attach and remove. Worth the $13.09 I paid for it on Amazon. The adapter works perfect, with one easy to live with flaw. Recommended.

 "Bushnell Binocular Tripod Adaptor warning" 2007-01-16
By Max G.
Warning! When I first tried to use the adaptor it would not fit into the binoculars. After some research about screw sizes, calling Bushnell, etc., I finally went to a hardware store and found that the adaptor and the binoculars actually were compatible threadwise. It turns out the adaptor threads were too high (poorly milled) and the receiving threads in the binocular were not cut deep enough (poorly cut - both probably due to worn out fabrication equipment). By buying a screw (1/4" 20 threads) and applying some grease, I was able to clear the receiving threads and then work the adapter into the binocular. Now everything works fine.

Buy Low Price From Here Now
The world's most beautiful places are often the wildest. Enter the Trophy series, your versatile choice for hunting, birding, hiking, fishing or any outdoor activity where the day can come complete with a bruise or two. Unlike similarly priced binos, the internals are O-ring sealed and nitrogen-purged for 100% waterproof/fogproof protection. The tough, rubber armor keeps them protected at the bottom of your pack or rattling around in any glove box. With BaK-4 roof prisms and multi-coated amber optics, Trophy binoculars are over-achievers when it comes to gathering enough light to deliver edge-to-edge crisp, bright images. And they offer nothing short of Bushnell quality construction with user-friendly features like twist-up eyecups, large center focus knobs (great for gloves) and all the popular magnifications.

- Ideal for hunting, outdoor, general use, and bird watching
- Waterproof, fogproof, and multi-coated lens
- Attached objective caps and twist up eyecups

 "Hunter" 2009-01-08
By Jennifer Williams
Exactly what it says. Not the absolute best but good enough for most outdoor activity.

 "Great binoculars" 2008-08-03
By I. Einstein (Sharon, MA)
These binoculars are wonderful for all around use. We've used them for birding as well as in Africa for big game. The controls are easy to manage. Lens covers attach to the body so you don't lose them. The case keeps them protected well from bumps and percipitation. I highly recommend them.

 "Perfect, "Astonishing"" 2008-02-16
By Steve
Although I have been very disappointed with Bushnell products in the past (see my reviews), these are perfect and astonishingly good. All of the following were perfect: collimnation, sharpness, color trueness, small size, smooth shape, sturdy, eyecup comfort, eyecup durability, easy but tight focus adjustment, very firm eye width adjustment, and very tight diopter adjustment. The last three adjustments required the least amount of movement to get the most precise response. Absolutely perfect. Focus was good down to an astonishingly-short 9 feet. All 10 binoculars I've had in the past failed my expectations on at least half of these measures, including a $230 nitrogen-filled 20x60 Pentax. These Bushnell put the Pentax to shame on all of the following: sharpness, color trueness, eye relief, diopter and focus adjustments. For the 10x magnification, I expect sharpness to retain the greatness in the 8x. The optic sharpness is beyond my eyes' ability to resolve, even after resting on something to prevent shaking. In choosing between the 10x and 8x, I prefer the 8x because of the slightly wider field of view that lower magnification gives. Especially during hand-held observation, I do not think you would be able to tell the difference. Only in extreme circumstances where a rest is available would I choose to use my 20x60 Pentax instead of the 8x42 Bushnell (such as viewing a crater on the moon or to get a really close view of a bird). In choosing between 10x42 and 8x42, the color would be a bigger factor in my choice.

 "Top value for money" 2005-11-15
By T. Pratt (USA)
Recently received this item.



Clarity of optics is superb. Fit and finish excellent. They're also a lot smaller and lighter than I was expecting, which is great! The tethered lens caps are a good idea - I lost the ones on the binos these are replacing years ago. MAYBE you can buy better binoculars of this type someplace, but if my researchs are any guide, you're going to pay A LOT more for them - these from Bushnell are not "great for the price" I find them "great at pretty much any price"

 "Great binoculars for the price!" 2009-06-23
By Nicolas Smart
I bought these binoculars for my granddaughter so she could enjoy birdwatching and exploring on her own. These sure do fit the bill. They're easy for her small hands to handle and they're powerful enough to make them really fun to use. We've even taken these to the theatre. Again, they are small enough to carry easily and they worked great. I find myself grabbing these for the theatre too. You can't beat this pair of binoculars for the price.

 "These binoculars ae great!!" 2009-06-03
By Jim O. Hale
When I first opened the package I thought the binoculars I had ordered could not be much for they were very small. Much to my surprise, they are very powerful and extremely easy to use. They are small enough to fit in my cmaera case, so now I take both my camera and binoculars with me when I travel, in one easy carry case. I would recommend them to anyone.

 "wonderful" 2009-03-18
By Valentina C. B. Chakr (Indiana, USA)
Very good binocular for non-professionals who just want to watch a concert, for example. Fits in your pocket.

 "nice compact binos for the price" 2009-02-26
By B. Wigney (Canada)
I bought these binoculars to replace a very similar set of Tasco 8x21 compact binos that I got about 10 years ago - but recently lost while hiking in eastern Arizona. I have larger binos at home, but wanted something very compact and light in weight that could be carried in my pocket or backpack. I ordered this set (Tasco 8x21) as well as a more powerful set of compact binos Barska Lucid 16x32 Compact Binocular (Camouflage) from Amazon. Delivery of both sets was very quick. This Tasco set is quite bright and clear, and the adjustment thumbwheel is tight and accurate. I like this pair for carrying in my pocket while hiking as they are just about right for spotting birds that are in bushes and treetops along the trail. Their small size makes them ideal for carrying in a jacket pocket. They're also a nice handy set to keep on the table by the window where I watch hummingbird and seed feeders. I rate them 5 stars because, for their compact size and especially at such a low price, they are really quite decent binos.

 "Tasco Essentials 8x21 reviewed" 2009-01-24
By H. Gucinski (Asheville, NC)
I bought this binocular for my 9-year old great-grandson, remembering how much my first binoculars meant to me. I was impressed with the quality and the clarity of the image for so inexpensive a binocular. While the limited field may not make these the ideal binoculars for an introduction to birding, they are just fine for seeing what's on the feeder and beyond.

I read all the reviews and they were right. The Technology is not perfected. I bought it as a gift for my boyfriend. I wanted to return it, but he wanted to keep it. He was just being nice. The camera doesn't take good pictures. I am not an expert but I do have eyes.

 "Instant Disappointment" 2008-12-29
By Lindsay Chambers (Nashville, TN, USA)
I purchased these binoculars as a gift for my husband. We attend a lot of hockey games, and I thought he would get a kick out of the camera/video features. Right out of the box, it became clear that something was not quite right with the product. Only the second time we turned it on, the display indicated the (brand-new) batteries were low. Then, the whole thing started locking up, to the point that none of the buttons (including the power button) worked at all. We had to take out the batteries to get the thing to shut off. The product itself may have been defective, but based on the other reviews here, I will not be buying another set of these binoculars to replace the broken ones. I'm going with a different product next time.

 "Disappointment" 2008-05-12

Don't purchase these binoculars!! I'm in the process of returning my second pair. I called Bushnell about the camera not working properly and they said to return them because they were defective. Well, I just got my second pair and they do the same thing. Bushnell said maybe a bad shipment went out. Picture looks OK in the LCD screen, but when you try to replay it, it's all blurred lines. I've tried everything I can think of because I thought it might be me, but no. Also batteries went to just 2 bars in a matter of minutes. I tried 3 kinds and all were the same. Luckily the seller has been very helpful with great customer service. I'm going to purchase a good zoom digital camera instead, which is what some of the reviews recommended in the first place.

 "Great product, great price, great service" 2009-07-19
By Calvin C. Tatum (Wyoming)
I initially bought a pair of these binoculars on a trip to Yellowstone for wildlife watching. They were a spur-of-the-moment purchase and I appreciated the price. The binoculars surprised me with their clarity and brightness, even in low-light conditions. When my father-in-law was getting ready to celebrate his birthday we purchased another pair from Amazon for him. Amazon, as usual, had the order to him on-time and the price couldn't be beat. He called three times the next week because he was so amazed at how good these binoculars are, and he was also amazed by the fact they are always in focus, no fumbling around.



Excellent product, excellent service ... does it get any better?

 "Caution! Caution!" 2009-04-09
By Joe from LA
Unless you have near perfect vision, without glasses, or are considering these binoculars for a child, DO NOT buy them. For looking at scenery in the distance, they are fine. Move in to fairly large signs at perhaps 175 yards, like on the golf course in my back yard, and you will likely not be able to read them. I couldn't with these binoculars, even though I can read the signs with a pair of 7X35 wide angle binoculars that I purchased at a yard sale many years ago. Move in to a tree or bush to look at a bird from 50-75 feet, and you will be extremely disappointed. The image is very blurry. I just had a lengthy conversation with a rep from Bushnell, and that individual confirmed everything that I have said. If you have corrected vision, or need correction, these binoculars are NOT for you.

 "Binocular Review" 2009-02-04
By Bird Brain (Southwest Florida)
I am very pleased with this product. I was looking for a binocular with a wide field of vision and this meets the need. I was a little concerned about the auto-focus capability and was afraid it wouldn't serve well for both near and far vision, but it does a great job. I would recommend this product and feel it lives up to the advance billing I found during my research.

 "auto focus" 2008-11-22
By D. R. Hilson (San Francisco)
I had to return this product as they were not mini auto focus that I needed. There is nothing better than auto focus or perma focus binoculars unfortunatley they were not the size I needed.

 "Great Binoculars for Sports" 2008-06-29
By R. Benson (Minnesota)
It took almost a month to receive, due to being on back-order, but it was well worth the wait! I was replacing an old pair of extra-wide sports angle Bushnell's I had used for 25 years. I was leery of the perma focus, but I wanted the extra wide angle. Well I tried them at a few NASCAR races and they worked perfectly. Three people in my party all used the binoculars and the focus was perfect for all three. Plus I wear mono focal contact lenses, (the lenses for each eye are a different strength), so I was a little worried what I would see. The view was prefect and in focus for both eyes. Plus I had lost a lens in one eye, at one race, and I still had perfect focus!! a Great price and a perfect view!!
