Plate Rare

For people looking to start a collection that can also proudly be featured as a part of their home's decor, decorative plates are hard to beat. There are so many styles and themes that there is almost certainly something available to fit the interests of almost anyone.

Just as with any hobby, collectors of decorative plates can be quite serious about their passion. With the values of some of the plates they collect, it only makes sense that they are at least a little bit serious. Rare plates can often sell for hundreds of dollars, and eBay listings often find people buying and selling entire sets of these collectibles for even higher prices on a daily basis.

If you are just starting a collection however, there is no need to go hog wild and spend a fortune though. If you have some particular area of interest, you can usually find some very nice plates related to it for reasonable prices. Browsing the plates available for sale on sites like eBay or Amazon can sometimes be helpful if you are not quite sure what types of plates are available to you.

Some people start collections based on one particular theme or interest area. For example, if you are a music lover, you might want to go in the direction of collecting plates featuring famous artists such as The Beatles or Elvis Presley. Many "legendary" musicians and groups have been commemorated over the years on collectible plates. You can check to see if anyone you enjoy listening to has been included. Other people may build a collection based on a favorite painter. A terrific example of this type of artist is Norman Rockwell. His splendid images capturing the heart and soul of Americana are available on many decorative plates. His famous images that graced magazine covers can now be part of anyone's home decor.

Other collectors of decorative plates focus on one particular maker. Bradford Exchange is a very well known brand that has been around for years. Some people may recall seeing their merchandise being sold on television or in other venues.

Although buying these plates online is a very popular method of obtaining them, it certainly is not the only route to try. Plates are often put up for sale at estate sales and moving sales. People having estate sales especially may be willing to offer a more than fair price for an entire collection of plates. In fact, you can often find your best bargains at these sales. The down side to this method however is the fact that you are stuck waiting for something that interests you to come along. For some people, that could be a long wait. By comparison, searching on the Internet will usually bring you what you want almost immediately, albeit at a higher price most of the time.

Plate Tectonics $3.94 The development of the plate tectonic theory was one of the great revolutions in science. Initially, most scientists believed that Earth was a static planet that never really changed. Then, a small group of pioneering individuals slowly pieced together a different picture, showing that over millions of years, continents collided, oceans opened and closed, and mountains rose and fell--and these changes continue today. Plate Tectonics examines the evolution of plate tectonic theory from its beginnings as a wild idea of drifting continents to its acceptance as the main concept of geology.

The Cheese Plate $31 If you've ever had genuine farmhouse Cheddar from England, or real Alsatian Munster, or aged Parmigiano-Reggiano, you know that fine hand-crafted cheeses have absolutely nothing to do with the bland, shrink-wrapped, food-colored offerings that evoke school cafeterias. Artisanal cheeses-- from luscious triple cre mes to the " boss" blues-- are complex and richly rewarding, very similar to fine wines. And these cheeses get even more rewarding if you know something about their subtleties, their attributes, and how to get the most out of them-- like which wines go with which cheeses (and why), or how a multiple-cheese tasting should progress, or what an appropriate portion size is, or which accompaniments work best, or why the Loire che vres peak in autumn. Max McCalman is one of the world's foremost experts on these matters. As the mai tre fromager (or " cheese master" ) at the acclaimed restaurants Picholine and Artisanal in New York City, he spends his entire day, every day, dealing with cheese-- ordering it, tasting it, studying it, serving it. And The Cheese Plate is the culmination of his years of passion and study for this subject: the definitive work on how to enjoy the world's greatest cheeses (and what those cheeses are) at home. The Cheese Plate begins with the fundamentals: history, what exactly cheese is, and how it's made. Then Max moves onto the subject that has made him a star in the culinary world-- the art of cheese tasting. To begin with, it's important to know how to buy, store, and serve cheeses, and then how to taste them (again, as with wines, the best results come with a littlefinesse). Then you'll want to pair cheeses with other foods and beverages, especially wines, to bring out the best of both. And with all this expertise in hand, you'll want to construct cheese plates, from a quick lunch assortment to a full after-dinner tasting extravaganza. Finally, you'll appreciate a rundown of the best cheeses in the world-- where they're from, what they look and taste like, their perfect wine accompaniments-- so that you can become a mai tre fromager in your own right.

Plate Pies $13.72 The author has been a sailor most of his life and, by inclination, a poet. He has written these stories in order to portray the lives of people of an age which, though only sixty odd years past, is light years away in reality. There is a strong inclination here towards irony and black humour, the tools with which these people did battle. The ethos is Northern but it is the author's hope that the tales will be recognised anywhere and that, for the older reader as well as the young, a glimpse of how it was just prior to television will provide a nostalgic journey, a pleasurable instruction and a good read.

At the Plate With... Ichiro $3.95 For seventeen years Ichiro played the sport he loved in his home country of Japan. In 2000, he left Japan to join the Seattle Mariners.

Fans on both sides of the Pacific Ocean are looking forward to his performance in the 2003 season. These books contain black-and-white photographs, the players' statistics, and a list of career highlights. Real-life sports action plus the easy-to-read Matt Christopher style equals a series not to be missed.
