    Yesterday Once More is RIVETING!

    This book is the most comprehensive review of the Carpenters' lives and their influence on society today. This book is money well spent, especially if you are a fan of Karen or Richard. Not only is it well-written, but the selective editing of Mr. Schmidt keeps the focus concise and delightful. One of the best music books I've read in a long time.

    Wonderful!!!!!!!

    Finally another book on the Carpenters. I found this one even better than the last. So much information and so many great pictures. I know Karen would be so proud of this book and to know how many people still love her music. Richard has to be delighted too. I think Randy Schmidt did a wonderful job putting this book together and it is one I can read over and over.
