most useful book for us in NY.......2007-05-19

Our family recently spent time in Manhattan. We took several books with us, and this was the one we found most useful. It's not perfect -- I found myself flipping pages a lot to connect restaurants and attractions etc, but it was still so loaded with good info that I always took it with me when we went out. We found several good restaurants that were just as depicted (though one was closed), and we chose several places to visit and were not disappointed. There's a good introductory chapter as well as excellent information about parks, playgrounds, restaurants, hotels, shopping, walks, entertainment and side trips. No pictures. Excellent resource.

A lot of wrong info........2006-07-25

We recently planned a trip to NYC with our 6 and 1 year old. I picked up this book, seeing as we have never been to NYC. The hotel we chose out of this book was in a neighborhood I would not consider safe for children. We ended up changing hotels because of it. The book said there was a children's playroom in our new hotel...there was not. We went to the Children's Museum of Manhattan, which the book says is good for kids 8 and under...our 6 year old was bored!! Also, the museum does not allow strollers, which I think is important info that should have been mentioned, but was not. There were other little bits of info that the book mentioned that were incorrect.

Needless to say, the book was packed away by the middle of the trip...it just wasn't reliable.

Great resource for first time visitors to NYC!.......2006-07-24

We recently spent a week in New York state for a family wedding. Three of those days were spent sightseeing in NYC with our two children, ages 6 and 3. This guidebook was invaluable! We used it to plan our agenda in advance, and then carried it with us on our trip. We had a great time, and we knew exactly where to go and what to do. This is a great resource for any family! I especially liked the detailed information about transportation options, playgrounds in the city, and family-friendly restaurants.

Not a Great Guidebook.......2006-07-10

This book covers a lot of information, but lacks details on key traveller needs. The maps are very poor and the information on the subway system is not enough to help first-time users get where they are going. We always wished we had more information. The only way I would recommend this book is if it was used in conjunction with another guidebook.

This book went everywhere with me!.......2005-10-07

I purchased two books for my recent visit to NYC (my first trip with kids.) This book (The other was "New York's 50 Best Places to take Children")was exactly what I needed to find great places to eat with my kids...and to help me figure out which tourist attractions were worth the time and cost. It's well-organized and has a great rating system for restaurants and sight-seeing. I looked at many guide books....and this one was the best!

Here are 322 copyright-free spots — many with space for messages — include a seal balancing a mortise-cut ball, a dancing chef carrying a cake, plus hundreds of other images, most in more than one size, of men and women at work and play, children, circus and parade motifs, more.

Book Description

The Australian Cattle Dog was developed as a breed by stockmen who wanted a tough, working dog who could drive cattle in the harsh environment of the Australian outback. A number of different dogs were used to produce the ideal type, and these included the native Dingo, the Collie, imported from Britain, and the Australian Kelpie. The authors trace the origins of this tough, intelligent working dog from the Australian outback to the first imports to reach North America, Britain and the rest of Europe. All aspects of caring for the Australian Cattle Dog are covered, such as feeding, exercise, breeding and rearing, and there is a special section on the principles of training and the working role of the Australian Cattle Dog.

Customer Reviews:

not what I was looking for.......2007-07-16

I think for a breeder or trainer, they might find this book helpful, for the lay dog owner..not really what I was looking for.

so so.......2007-05-13

Not terribly useful.........I thought it would be more of an Owner's Manual and I'd like to see more specifications, links, you know, questions like "How long do they live?" "Average weight?" "When do they stop growing?" "Do they ever grow up?"

Absolutely THE BEST ACD book.......2002-09-07

I have owned and raised ACD's for years and this is by far the best book on the breed I have found. I have really enjoyed the reading and the photographs of famous Cattle Dogs. This is not another "puppy care" book - it is really about ACD's. It is a must for any serious Cattle Dog owner or fan.

My Favorite ACD Book!.......2001-11-04

I absolutely love this book. It's almost as if the book was written about my own dogs! I find myself laughing and saying, "Yes! That's Blue!" or "That's exactly what Ready does!" I actually recommend THE COMPLETE ACD for owners of any breed because of the good information that can apply to all dogs.

The Complete Australian Cattle Dog.......2000-01-01

This book has the best breed specific information I have found. It is one of the few books that covers training techniques for "heelers" working with cattle.

Product Description

This relatively new breed was recognized by the American Kennel Club in 1980, though its ancestors have been working on Australian ranches since early in this century. The sturdy, active Australian Cattle Dog was bred from Collies, Dalmatians, and the native Australian Dingo, and is noted for its loyalty and protective instincts. Here is advice on training, grooming, diet, health maintenance, and much more. Paperback / 96 Pages / 6 1/2 x 7 7/8 / 1997

Customer Reviews:

ACD.......2007-08-23

I enjoyed the book. I didn't know to much about Cattle Dogs.Its a good basis for first books. But I was hoping it would have gone into more information then it did.

Great Book.......2007-07-02

book is great .. everything is straight forward .. good ideas and reccomendations .. easy to read ..

useful.......2006-10-24

Unlike many low-cost "breed" books, this one actually does have breed specific information in it. Discusses typical Heeler temperament and behavior. Plus, lots of nice photos.

Not for deaf ACD owners.......2002-12-07

I do not recommend this book if you are a deaf ACD owner. The book states that deaf dogs do not make good companion dogs and does not give any facts for their statement. As the owner of two deaf ACD's , I am glad I didn't take the advise of the author. I would have to agree that this is a breeder book and is not for those who wish to aid the overpopulation instead of add to it.

Pretty good.......2001-08-01

I have an Australian Cattle Dog myself, and this is the book that I had from the very beginning. It was pretty good, though it didn't give much info on how to deal with the Cattle Dogs large amount of energy. If you want a book on the background of the Australian Cattle dog, this is a good book, but don't get it if you are looking to solve problems.

The lively variety of popular jewelry made in the 1940s and 1950s could fill a book, and here it is. Thousands of examples of costume and semi-precious jewelry from this era pack these pages in full-color photographs and identifying text. Wonderful advertisements of the period that feature the jewelry add a graphic sense of the clothing styles with which the jewelry was originally worn. Today, this jewelry is collected everywhere. The early designers of the jewelry are being recognized for their originality with new materials. The book organizes this popular jewelry by the materials with which it is made, from rhinestones to pearls, plastics and various metals. With this as a reference, the jewelry can be identified and price ranges can be determined.

Following the artist's path.......2006-02-25

Having met Keeyla Meadows several years ago at the San Francisco Flower Show, I was thrilled to read this book. This is a woman who loves art and gardening and expresses it real life. Her book brings her joy to the reader and inspires that reader to experiment in their own space, enabling them to create their own "personal paradise". She also includes information on soil and plants, which is invaluable in creating an artistic, thriving garden that blends with the home and location. Well worth the read for anyone who LOVES art and gardening, or wants to learn how to create their own "paradise".

Book Description

This book presents a completely new and up-to-date archaeological and historical study of the Black Sea city-state of Olbia. More comprehensive than any other yet produced, it ranges through the millennium of its existence from the Archaic to the Roman period and includes the full range of material remains found in the city and its region. Themes treated include building and architecture, agriculture, the economy of the city (the food economy, crafts, trade and coins), art and religion. The illustrations are copious, well-chosen, and present much material which will be new to Western readers. Also there are many useful maps and reconstructions of buildings. This presentation of the results of the research of scholars from the former Soviet Union into a Greek Pontic city has long been awaited and will form a reliable basis for the next generation of research into the theme.

Book Description

Samuel L. Jackson is one of the most recognisable and hard-working actors in the world. His films are as varied as Star Wars (Episodes I-III), Jurassic Park, Jungle Fever, Jackie Brown, Pulp Fiction and The Long Kiss Goodnight. But he is just as well-known for his lifestyle: his back-to-front Kangol beret, his unrepentant attitude towards his past drink and drug addictions and his outspoken views on racism in Hollywood.

Deserted by his father as a baby, Jackson was raised by his mother and grandmother in Tennessee. He made his acting debut in the 1970s with a hamburger ad, moved to New York and worked in theatre and film, but it was his breakthrough role as Gator in Spike Lee’s Jungle Fever in 1991 that put him on the map. During the 90s he appeared in 33 films in the US, more than any other actor. He has worked with just about everybody: Scorsese, De Niro, Tarantino, Spielberg, Pacino, George Clooney, Harrison Ford, George Lucas, Ben Affleck, Uma Thurman, Yoda…

Unbelievably, Samuel L. Jackson - The Unauthorised Biography will be the first ever biography to be published. Thorough and authoritative, it will be essential reading for film fans.
