A fortunate find..., 15 Mar 2004

I love all these box sets - a great way to keep the stamps neat and tidy and easy to store. This set contains 18 stamps - 12 with the signs of the chinese zodiac, the yin/yang symbol and the 5 elements - metal, wood, earth, fire, water. Also included in the set in a booklet telling you which years are for each animal, and the attributes associated with each animal - Ox is stubborn, Dog is loyal, Dragon is mysterious. There is also an ink pad so you've got everything you need to start stamping! Each stamp is nice and clear so they're great for embossing.

Queen before Queen..., 29 Oct 2003

The best parts of this book are the ones dealing with the young Roger Taylor and John Deacon. Freddie has had so many biographys written about him that most Queen-fans know his story by heart, and Brian has also had a very comprehensive biography. Roger and John have so far been left out, but this book goes some way to making up for their neglect. There are pictures of the group as teenagers, stories from some of their school and college friends. This book is well worth getting, and is one of my favourites.
