Customer Reviews:
Excellent reading!.......2006-08-28
This is one of the best books I have read in a long time - I couldn't put it down. I would definitely recommend this book to others.
The NO. 1 Ladies Detective Agenc Box Set.......2006-03-10
I love the box set . It is a great gift for any young adult or adult. I have finished " The No.1 Ladies Detective Agency" and really enjoyed it. I would recommend these books to anyone.
as fresh as a palm tree in spring.......2006-01-08
This is a great collection of books, light, fresh and funny enough, and the writing is cheerful and simple. 5 stars is not enough, plus, it feeds the love for one's country and values.
The world's most non-stop pleasant novel series.......2005-10-23
Need to calm down, cheer up, chill out or get happy? You can't go wrong with any of the books in the No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency series. They are reliably interesting, likable and uplifting. These are the stories of Precious Ramotswe, a substantial lady of extreme common sense and compassion who makes other people's problems are her own. I highly recommend these books; can't imagine anybody who wouldn't like them!
An Outstanding Series!.......2005-08-30
Anyone wanting to read a fascinating book about life in Africa with "homespun" wisdom that is extremely relaxing and enjoyable to read will love this series about Precious Ramotswe and her life in Botswana. She is a delightful character, experiencing life's sorrows, troubles, and joys while maintaining a deep reverence and gratitude for life. After reading this set, I could hardly wait to read the next three - "The Kalahari Typing School for Men," "The Full Cupboard of Life," and "In The Company of Cheerful Ladies." I now can only hope that Alexander McCall Smith will write more books in this delightful series!
Book Description
Roll for initiative!
Brace yourself for a random encounter dominated by demons, devils, and other outsiders, along with a horde of heroes, villains, and monsters. Taken straight from D&D rulebooks, such as the Monster Manual, Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting, Miniatures Handbook, Psionics Handbook, and Savage Species, these characters are ready for battle -- right out of the box.
Each Archfiends expansion pack contains 8 randomly selected, prepainted, fully assembled, collectible miniatures with double-sided statistic cards for use with the D&D roleplaying game or for fast-paced head-to-head combat.
Three separate Archfiends expansion packs are pictured at left. Each pack contains eight randomly selected miniatures.
Customer Reviews:
This will always be on backorder at Amazon.......2005-07-12
Amazon continues to list out of print Wizards of the Coast D&D. They did the same thing with Harbinger starter sets a short time ago. When you place an order they keep pushing the due date back. Why do they bother listing stuff they have no way of getting?
Misleading.......2005-06-20
The merchant advertises "Expansion Packs" but sends you unpackaged singles. This means you have no chance of a rare because he has already taken them out and shipped you his refuse.
Mixed review.......2004-08-07
I defer to reviewer Peter Lee for the details on this set, but my opinion is less enthusiastic than his.
My main concern with all of the D & D Miniatures made by Wizards of the Coast is that there seems to be no clearly defined reference of SCALE, as there is with lead and pewter military and fantasy miniatures and the higher grade plastic figures from Russia and Britain: a 15mm or 25mm figure from other manufacturers will almost always be in proportion to other figures from the manufacturer (and usually very close to OTHER manufacturers's products, too). I can't tell what the scale of the "D & D Miniatures" is SUPPOSED to be (probably 30mm), but the figures are strangely proportioned to one another within their own product line -- the bare-chested Giants of Legend Scarlet Brotherhood Monk is dispropotionately large compared to both the City Guardsman and the Protectar, and the robed Archfiends Sage is as broad in the shoulders as the Giants of Legend City Guard in armor.
My second and third concerns are with the weapons. Why are the weapons so bizarrely fashioned? The standard Wizards of the Coast fantasy sword has a blade which abruptly narrows in size to only slightly wider than the tang, although in this set only the Human Dragonslayer and Moon Elf Fighter appear to suffer from this certain-to-snap-at-first-contact blade. This design makes no sense. It copies a fashion set in some fantasy art, but is jarringly out of place in figures which seemed designed for melee combat. The weapons are also being used stupidly by the figures, with the point-of-spear-in-the-ground City Guard being the silliest example. This leads to another concern: why did Wizards of the Coast feel it necessary to arm EVERY human or humanoid figure? The Archfiends Expansion Pack figure of the Healer, for example, is carrying a spear (point UP, unlike the idiotic Guardsman figure). If this Healer is a spellcaster, wouldn't it have been more appropriate to equip her with a spell book or put her into a spellcasting pose? If she can't cast spells, why is she in a melee set armed with a spear, anyway? She's not brandishing it point outward, but it still seems extremely inappropriate. It's as disconcerting as seeing a medic with a Red Cross brassard armed with an assault rifle; medical personnel are supposed to be unarmed, by god!
Arming the "Healer" is a very, VERY poor example for Hasbro to set for children. Does Medic G. I. Joe pack a .45 in his first aid kit to shoot "enemy" wounded? I am not one of those silly geese who think D & D leads to devil worship, but I AM of the opinion that children should be raised from childhood to regard certain people -- medical personnel, for example -- as ALWAYS being non-combatants, no matter which side they are on. I get the feeling that if there was a goblin stretcher crew figure set, that the ideal Wizards of the Coast "lawful good" character would hack them to pieces because they are on the "evil" side. That is just plain wrong! There are some lines which simply should not be crossed, even in fantasy role-playing, and the well-armed "Healer" crosses one of those lines. It isn't hard to imagine kids who play with this particular figure growing up to cross that same line in a real life war; therein lie the seeds of the My Lais and Abu Graibs of the future, I'm afraid. Wizards of the Coast should discontinue this figure. It is grossly irresponsible of them to depict medical personnel as combatants.
I must disagree strongly with the other reviewer about the Warrior Skeletons. The ones I have are painted nicely, true, but either the injection molding was done poorly or else they were attached to the base poorly -- they are both bent forward so far that they look more like skeletal bloodhounds than anything else. They LOOK as though they were made in Red China by some wretchedly poor schmuck earning less than 50 cents an hour (which they probably were). It will take some unattractive wiring or else a break-and-repair job to make them stand erect.
All in all, though, the figures do what they are supposed to do, which is represent heroes and monsters from the Wizards Dungeons & Dragons product line. Their usefulness as figures for war games outside of the rules published (VERY expensively!) by Wizards of the Coast is greatly diminished by their "buy one hundred packages to collect 'em all!" packaging, which has led to my initial force having one sage to each archer, with no one pointing a spear at the ENEMY. Their usefulness outside of D & D Miniatures rules play is also hampered by the paucity of figures clearly designed to represent the sort of massed levies to be found in a real battle, even a "real fantasy" battle. There should be several figures each for plain old goblins, plain old orcs, plain old human warriors, etc., but there isn't, and the bizarre scale of the figures makes it very difficult to supplement their numbers with the military or fantasy figures of other manufacturers (which are almost all in lead or very expensive pewter, anyway, not the cheap plastic of these figures).
The D & D miniatures DO fill a need for cheap miniature fantasy figures, but that need includes the need for hordes of cheap goblins, orcs, etc., which Wizards seems to have no intention of meeting. They are narrowly focused on supplying figures for the rules which they have concocted and are not supplying enough to use the figures for battles using "De Bellis Antiquas," "Hordes of the Things," or even "Chainmail" rules for miniatures gaming, which is ironic, since D & D was originally just a set of rules for adding fantasy characters to wargames which used the 1970-something "Chainmail" rules.
If Wizards of the Coast were to offer their "common" figures in three-packs or six-packs (the numbers needed for units in their own miniatures gaming rules), my rating for the expansion packs would be higher, but they haven't done so yet, and they seem to have no intention of ever doing so, which forces players who DO want to use units of multiple figures to either buy large numbers of expansion packs (expanding the already bloated profits which Wizards of the Coast brings in for its corporate owner, Hasbro) or else buy them separately on eBay, which, once shipping costs are added, makes each figure cost a couple of bucks apiece -- a huge mark-up for a pennysworth of plastic made by a Chinese wage slave living just above the subsistence level!
More cheap miniatures and a good game, too!.......2004-04-07
Archfiends is the 3rd prepainted miniature release from Wizards of the Coast and it gets better every time. The quality of miniatures from WotC's prepainted D&D Miniature line has been improved from their prior two sets, and they're still keeping it affordable at $9.99. The details on some figures are really improving. For instance, Archfiends includes a new common "Warrior Skeleton" that looks better than many skeletons painted by professional miniature painters. "Ragnara, Psychic Warrior" is also a pretty slick looking figure. There is an increase in larger figures from previous sets, including four "Aspects" which are popular D&D villain deities with a midlevel power range (around CR 12) which work well in both D&D and the skirmish game. Finally, the popular Forgotten Realms character Drizzt is now a (rare) figure for the Chaotic Good faction.
I've played a lot more of the Skirmish game that the figures are designed for and I'm surprised how much I like it. The combat cards gives some complex play with relative ease, which is a nice bonus. The new figures add quite a bit to the Skirmish game. The "Gauth" has a dangerous 15 fire damage special ability eye ray, the "Githyanki Fighter" and "Erinyes" have a Dimesion Door ability that was previously only availible to the "Hound Archon" from Harbinger, and Lawful Good finally has a dragon with the nasty "Large Silver Dragon".
The set is not perfect. The humanoid figures are still missing a bit of detail, especially some of the elves -- like the uncommon Mialee, Elf Wizard. I'm a firm believer that figures for PCs should be hand-painted anyway, so in my RPG games any of the short-term NPCs are drawn from these prepainted figures and the long-term PCs are hand painted metal figures.
I'm willing to overlook some of the flaws because they're a relatively inexpensive way to build up a large force of painted figures to help a time-crunched DM. Unfortunately, there are rumors that the price of these figures is increasing, which will cut down on their usefulness. With the increased price of Giants of Legend to $19.99 (for 8 figures and 1 huge figure) and I suspect future sets will be around $12.99, I think this is the last easily affordable set.
Book Description
Ancient Egypt is the setting for this drama of humans and interplanetary visitors. Long after human life this planet was genetically altered by visitors from other worlds and ages, something has gone wrong: a member of the Inner Circle is prolonging his life parasitically utilizing acts of human sacrifice.
To demonstrate the extraterrestrial origin of humanity, a recreation of the original genetic seeding was staged, intended to be preserved for all time in art and sculpture.
This is the amazing legacy of King Akhunaton, known also as Akhenaten and Iknaton. This science fiction adventure intruduces the reader to the most unusual family in history. It also features one of literature’s most menacing villains.
Customer Reviews:
Very interesting........2003-11-21
Even though this book is listed as fiction, it is not. Daniel Blair Stewart has explained on a few radio shows that he was in a Rosicrucian museum in California when he all of a sudden had an almost out of body experience. He saw everything that happened during Akhunaton's reign in Egypt. He published as fiction because he didn't want to have to prove what happened to him. His book tells the whole story of how Akhunaton came to be Pharaoh and why the people of Egypt tried to destroy his memory. This book is interesting from beginning to end.
Akhunaton: Not Bad Semi Historical Science Fiction.......2003-04-03
Let us dispense with all of the discussion of the Illuminati, real Pharonic history or any serious sense of spirituality and enlightenment. This was a book of Science Fiction that used one of the most tumultuous periods in Egyptian history as its back drop. Part Stargate, part Star Trek, part Joseph Campbell, Blair may or may not have taken the view point that Egypt was the birthplace of all cultures and sciences on the globe. Akunaton does not deserve any criticism a historical piece or anthropological discussion as it is just a piece of fairly decent science fiction. However, while the author was taking poetic license with history and Egyptian spiritual concepts, it would have been nice if there had been development along those lines in order to round out and add richness to the scope of his vision. This book needed more character development, more interpersonal interaction between the characters, more description about the interior of the space ship Aton, more description about the every day life and description of the temples and the activities there in. The reader feels like a distant observer of a not too clear photograph, with glimpses of color here and there, with an occasional flash of brilliance. This book gives one the strange feeling that it suffered from an overzealous editor out of touch with the material and subject of the book. You can't help but wonder what was cut. Still, all in all, not a bad light read.
outstanding and exciting.......2002-07-23
i can see that people either love this book or hate it. i personally loved it! i just got so sucked into the story that i couldn't help but to read on. i also believe that the story has some truth in it. it ties in with the illuminati and how the aliens have integrated in human history. of course, if you believe history that is told at school, this is gibberish. highly recommended for open-minded spiritual beings. love and light
Solid work.......2001-09-17
Peace. This books was very enlightening and did what any good work is supposed to do. Spark your imagination and make you think. This is not meant to be an historical work as many have purpoted. There are many historically accurate facts though. There is very little written about the Pharoah that is 'historical'. He did not leave us much to go on. Everything that history has left us has been included in this book. I find the author without fault. As with any book there are high points and low points. The highs more than make up for the lows. It is a good introduction for those unfamiliar with Kemet (Ancient Egypt) and a solid support for those who are already learned. I enjoyed the book thoroughly. The antagonist is beleivable for anyone familiar with Illumianti. For anyone who wants to build on it, hit me on my email. Peace.
Masterful Historical Fiction.......2001-09-05
Like James Michener, Daniel Blair Stewart brings history to life by masterfully weaving together the combined knowledge of classical and esoteric/mystical egyptology into a rich, riveting, massively enlightening, and profoundly prophetic "fictional" novel. More real than any other account of this actual Pharaoh, fictional or non-fictional, I'm convinced it was channeled from a highly spiritual place.
Book Description
Hearty pastas accented with tomato, pizzas with a crispy-thin crust, and artichokes braised to perfection are all hallmarks of the Roman table. A cookbook that showcases the cuisine and food artisans one of the world's most beautiful cities, Williams-Sonoma Rome is required reading for anyone with a passion for Italy.
Customer Reviews:
Williams-Sonoma Rome Cookbook.......2007-03-11
This is my favorite cookbook. The recipes are terrific and the pictures bring back wonderful memories!
Excellent effort to define Roman Cooking.......2006-05-02
This review is written from the perspective of someone that has been studying cooking for 25 years, and concentrating on Italian cooking for the last 10 years. I have more than 100 cookbooks on Italian cooking and have traveled to Italy many times. I am a tough critic on Italian cookbooks.
This book begins with a little history of Italian cooking, the outdoor markets in Rome, and the distinct differences in the neighborhoods. Then the book discusses the following topics from a Roman perspective:
Coffee
Pasta
Greens
Pizza
Cucina Ebraica (Jewish Cooking)
Wine
Dolci (dessert)
The recipe section is subdivided as follows:
Antipasti
Primi (first course: soup, pasta, pizza)
Secondi (second course: meat and fish
Contorni (side dishes: vegetables)
Dolci (sweets)
The photography in this book is fabulous. They did a wonderful job of capturing what it is like to walk down the streets in Rome. As you turn the pages each new photo is another little peak into Roman life and food.
The recipes are very authentic. I was pleased to see that the recipe for Carbonara did not include the Americanized version which adds cream. This recipe is for the Carbonara that you would find in Rome. Of the recipes that I have prepared (approximately 50% of the book) all have turned out exactly as I expected them. A few of the recipes are time consuming. But, making homemade stuffed pasta is not something that happens in a flash.
If you are looking for a nice authentic cookbook on the cooking of Rome, written for Americans, you will love this book. My only complaint is that the book left me wanting more photographs and more recipes. Overall, this is an excellent book for those that love Italian cooking.
Great Book, Great Food.......2005-11-09
I bought this cookbook in order to prepare a romantic multi-course meal for my husband and we were not disappointed. The recipes were easy to follow and the food tasted fantastic! This book is defintely only for those who love to cook because the recipes do take quite a bit of time to prepare. The four course menu I chose took roughly three hours to complete, but the time was well worth it for the incredible food!

EVERY PRIMATE. WOW!.......2007-09-20
This has every primate and all the stats you could possibly imagine for each one. As I am a stats man, this is all that's needed to make me happy. Also, there's a color photo for each individual primate, except for the EXTREMELY RARE ones. Also holds the record for sparking my interest in PRIMATOLAGY about a month ago.
Love it!.......2007-01-17
I bought this primate book as a gift. It has so many beautiful photos, very comprehensive! I would recommend it to anyone looking to discover more about lesser known primates.
The Pictorial Guide to Living Primates.......2006-07-08
Excellent text for veterinarians, research scientists, zoology and/or biology students or anyone interested in taxonomy and classification of primates. The color pictures are stunning, plus the information is informative and concise. The text shows geographical distribution biology and behavior.
This texts is a definite must for primate students.
Great Book.......2006-06-12
I bought this book when I was doing reserach on primate behavior and it was a great resource. This book has wonderful descriptions and beautiful pictures. It's an awesome book for anyone who's interested in primates or for those who simply love them.
Monkey Lover.......2006-03-10
As a person who has been associated with Primates most of his life. I found the book to be a learning experience. Which tells you about the natural lives of these wonderful animals.

Customer Reviews:
Great photos of hand painted china.......1999-10-11
Nice for studies and examples of others work but value is underpriced. One must consider the value to the person collecting the china.
Extensive, expansive, educational.......1999-01-14
A must-have for collectors and antique dealers alike. This book details the history, production, and decoration of American handpainted porcelain, all with beautiful photographs and helpful illustrations. A key component is the identification and valuation of handpainted items.
Indispensable for handpainted porcelain collectors........1999-01-14
Even though I had been collecting since 1984 I discovered how much there is to know about the subject. Full of history, insights, examples and references, plus beautiful format and photograpy.
The best book I have ever read. Couldn't put it down!!!!!!!.......1997-08-18
Beautiful pictures, excellent information, nothing like it. For novice and advanced collectors I have not found a source so thorough. I suggest you contact the author and review this book. You won't be sorry

How to Make Beautiful Wax Dolls.......2000-07-26
Judy Meier is not only a great author but a wonderful teacher. The content of this book not only is well illistrated but details the techniqe in consise but easy to understand language. Ms Meier gives detail that does not have one trying to read between the lines or thinking that the subject matter is too complicated to attempt. I recomend the reading of this book to all serious doll makers and suggest if at all possible that it be added to your library.
