A modern approach to basketry with fibers and grasses, using coiling, twining, weaving, macramé, crocheting by Dona Z. Meilach
Full of inspirational photos, this is a great state of the art book from the boom in contemporary basketry (and fiber arts in general) from the mid 1970s. Excellent instructional notes and examples with clear photos of how to do component techniques, and examples of where artists have taken those building blocks.

The Best 50 Homemade Liqueurs (Best 50) by Dona Z. Meilach
This is a great guide to making liqueurs. It is clear and concise, easy to follow, and the results are quite nice. I especially liked the strawberry liquer...the flavors were really captured nicely. Don't be put off by its small size...it contained exactly the info I needed to make everything.

Accent on crafts by Dona Z. Meilach
Even though the book is mostly designed to get you to use Accent spray paints, there is still a lot of useful information and ideas.

The Best 50 Bruschetta Recipes (Best 50 Series) by Dona Z. Meilach
There are some unexpected concoctions in here and not all of them are savory. I believe I found this at Crate and Barrel. Good if you have a lot of bread and don't know what to do with it all.
