Good overall resource.......2005-10-22

We bought the Mobile book, the Frommer's book and this book all on New Enland. The maps in this book were probably the most lacking. However, the recommendations were laid out in regional sections which was really helpful. This book had the more "down to earth" recommendations which helped us. I enjoyed the "boxes" of information.

Dissapointing.......2005-05-28

I agree that the details are out of wack with this book. I have lived in New England my entire life and this book does a poor showing of it.

Look elsewhere for a guidebook to New England.......2005-03-16

I've owned, & or read, at least a couple of dozen travel guides, & probably 7 or 8 on New England. This is the only travel book that I've ever truly disliked. Part of it is the layout & design of the book--it looks "cheap", & the pages look "choppy"--it's just much harder to read & digest the information than Frommer's, Fodor's, or Lonely Planet.

Second is the information, or lack thereof. It has both Lexington & Concord Massachusetts in the section on the North Shore (??), without explaining that those towns are both at least 1 hour away from the North Shore, & in fact are in a totally different area. The restaurant recommendations leave much to be desired--anyone who knows Kennebunkport or Portland Maine, will be baffled at some of their selections, & all they left out. My 6-8 y.o. Frommer's & Fodor's guides have much better recommendations.

Get Frommer's, Fodor's, Lonely Planet, or all 3--& there are also other good travel, Inn, & B&B guidebooks to New England that you might want to explore. But avoid this one: it has almost nothing of value for the native New Englander, & I'd hate to be a visitor relying on it.

Helpful book -- Bargain price.......2002-04-09

I found this book after visiting Kim's website on About.com. Divided into chapters that cover six New England states, this book offers not only travel destinations, but website addresses, phone numbers, maps and tons of helpful information. I found the "Travel Tips" and "Fast Facts" interesting and the Day Trip suggestions are a lifesaver since I don't have a lot of time to research options. This book will help you plan a New England getaway -- or buy one to give to a friend, or send to someone you know who lives there. They'll love it!

Very useful book.......2007-03-12

Again, the pictures in the book are easy enough to use for my 3 year old. The information contained in the book is useful. We enjoy using this book and look forward to the spring and summer when we can travel further than our backyard.

Tough Plants for Southern Gardens

ASIN: 1930604572

Book Description

Gardening is now the favorite leisure pastime in America. Homeowners are realizing the benefits derived from gardening, namely enjoyment, exercise, and nutrition.

Book retailers are well aware that the trend in gardening books is to regional titles that provide credible information on the plants that perform well in specific regions.

The Louisiana Fruit & Vegetable Book is written by the highly popular gardening experts Walter Reeves and Felder Rushing.

Contains advice for plant fruits, vegetables, and herbs. With 60 featured plants, the authors provide characteristics of available varieties, planting and maintenance advice, as well as recipes for dishes from the garden.

Book Description

For four years, James Bartleman mixed with all the biggest names – Clinton, Blair, Yeltsin, Mitterrand, Castro, Kohl, Chirac, and on and on, as Chrétien’s Henry Kissinger figure.

He was involved in deadly serious crisis management, accompanying Chrétien to all the world’s hot spots – dodging bullets in Sarajevo, and trying to avoid war in the Spanish trawler incident. Not to mention dealing with Premier Li of China on an official visit encountering protestors in Montreal and shouting, “I am departing immediately. Never have I and my country been so humiliated.”

Which leader at the G7 Summit in Halifax passed out drunk in the hotel elevator? What did Jean Chrétien do to set White House aides threatening, “the next time there’s a referendum, we will support the separatists”? And why did Fidel Castro grab our author, shaking him and snarling, “I hope you are satisfied, Bartleman”? It’s all in this lively book.

Every major world crisis of these years is represented here, and every region of the world. You’ll be amazed at how widely Chrétien and Bartleman travelled and how much top-level action they experienced. Canadian foreign policy has never seemed so exciting. Or so funny (as when the angry Japanese prime minister’s Ottawa visit was marred by a health problem officially described as “soft poo”). A candid, witty, eye-opening book about foreign affairs at the top.

Book Description

Includes analysis of cases and concepts of the leading casebooks, explanations with amplified diagrams and flow charts, and extensive treatment of the time value of money issues. Explores exotic Wall Street techniques employed to avoid capital gains. In clear language, this book explains equity swaps, shorting against the box, swap funds, and DECS. Presents, among other high-profile situations, a case study of how former Treasury Secretary William Simon and his partners made $700 million in profits on the sale of the Avis car rental agency less than two years after they bought it and paid no taxes.

Customer Reviews:

A must read for any practitioner dealing in the area.......2006-07-07

I used this book as a supplement to Prof. Posin's course at Tulane University. He makes comprehension of the material very simple and even fun in places... for sick individuals entertained by the finer points of the Tax laws. All in all a GREAT digest of essential material.

Excellent Introduction to First Year Law.......2004-12-01

This author explains the fundamental but essential concepts in a clear and concise manner through his text and flow charts. Numerous real-life examples help the first-year law student and/or taxpayer grasp important rationales that will allow practical application in his/her own life and on the exams. I highly recommend this book.

My students have found this book helpful.......2002-01-11

My students have generally found this book helpful. The diagrams are wonderful and often help people visualize very complex tax transactions. I also think the book does an excellent job of explaining very difficult material. Other reveiws have indicated that there are erros in this book. It does appear that there is a typo in the Clark case, but I have not noticed more than the usual number of typos in this book. In addition, contrary to the statements of other reviewers, I think the discussion of both Glenshaw Glass (I am not sure what is laughable about the book's presentation of the holding in the case) and Harris are on target.

My advice is buy the book if you want some added help with Federal Income Tax, but use it as a reference, not as a bible. Also realize that Tax Professors often disagree about tax law, and about the merits of various cases, that is what makes law fun.

Don't buy!.......2001-11-06

The "holdings" and facts in this hornbook are wrong. Cases such as Harris and Clark contain horrible inaccuracies. Hope this helps.

Do NOT buy this hornbook!.......2001-11-04

Apparently the editor of this masterpiece is blind as a pig. My professor (LLM N.Y.U) suggested nutshells, etc., but, as her eyes narrowed, clearly stated, "Do not use the hornbook. It is wrong." She then stated, "It is just wrong." Always skeptical, I decided to check for myself. I reached the same conclusion after twenty minutes of reading. The facts (monetary amounts) in Clark are wrong. The "holding" in Harris is totally irrelevant, and the "holding" in Glenshaw Glass is downright laughable ... and wrong. Hope this helps.

Tansu: Traditional Japanese Cabinetry.......2007-01-16

Informational book on tansu, which is collectively a variety of Japanese cabinets. The book describes the different types of cabinets, their uses, and also historical information by period, along with detailed structural notes (ie. cabinets being made from certain types of woods to accomodate changing humidity during the season, flexibility to withstand earthquakes and typhoons, etc.) Black and white photos and diagrams included.

Tansu Book is great.......2006-11-10

This book was exactly the information I needed to help design a new stair step tansu cabinet that was both historically accurate, and modernized for today's homeowners. The history of the cabinet style, the construction, the joinery, the hardware, and the finishes used were well laid out in the book and easy to read and understand.

Great Tansu Book.......2006-07-06

Found this book very interesting with its description of differing tansu from different regions in Japan. Great for collecters of tansu who wish to know meanings/locations of their tansu as well as the era from which it was constructed.

The Ultimate Resource on Japanese Antique Chests.......2001-10-23

If you're thinking of purchasing a tansu or already own one and want to know more about it, this is the book to have. It covers everything from the history of these unique pieces of furniture, to the materials used in their construction, as well as providing tips of how to select, refinish, and care for them. Truly a scholarly work. But perhaps the best part of all is the book's exquisite photographs showing outstanding examples of tansu from all regions of Japan. You can't help but drool when seeing them.

Book Description

Using two quilt blocks, Sue Bouchard gives the illusion of curves as this graceful pattern glides together to form the lovely Tennessee Waltz Quilt. The "54-40 or Fight" block is a traditional star pattern with a political name that dates back to the presidential election of 1844. The companion block, "Snowball" is a long standing, all-purpose block. The blocks pair perfectly to form a new pattern with endless possibilities for design.

With guidance on selecting fabrics and variations on the theme, Tennessee Waltz Quilts guides you step by step through cutting and sewing techniques. Full yardage charts are given for all quilt sizes and a bonus table runner is included. The Tennessee Waltz Quilt is easily created by combining For-Patches, Star points and Snowball blocks. Straight forward piecing techniques make this pattern fun and easy to make. The book is presented in full color with sample quilts pictured.

Worth the money for an easy no curve piecing pattern.......2006-06-20

Clear instructions and great how-to illustrations. She provides yardage measurements for different size and borders. I like how she provides suggestions to make variations quilt pattern, by making more octogon snowball or Kaleidoscope snowball block by using either small/med/large scale prints to change the look of the quilt, examples shown in the book. Beautiful quilts. Recommend.

Enjoy the Journey.......2001-05-27

As a small town family doctor I sometimes get the feeling that 'adolescence' and 'tragedy' are linked words. Annette Smith offers a hopeful and enjoyable antidote to the angst that, perhaps not unjustly, grips many parents wishing the best for their daughters in an age so often unfriendly and even exploitive of their particular vunerabilities. Approaching her subject with the hands of an experienced nurse, the voice of an experienced mother, the heart of a pastor, and the eye of a writer she offers what I would like to prescribe to my patients parenting teen girls - practical advice on how to enjoy the relationship of focused, yet not overbearing, intentional parenting. Not another 'parent guilt' book but rather a timely and reassuring answer to the "what now?" raised by teen culture analyses like 'Reviving Ophelia'.

Book Description

"Preferring Paul to John was like preferring Cliff Richard to Elvis Presley, or Donovan to Dylan. John was the leader; he was his own man." -Martin Amis John Lennon lives on. Forty years after the Beatles invaded America in 1964, and more than twenty years after Lennon's death, his work is perennially popular and continues to appeal across the generations. A man shrouded in myth and controversy, Lennon led a complex, enigmatic life. The Lennon Companion is a luminous and multifaceted exploration of John Lennon's life and work, a collection of over fifty articles from a stellar list of writers including Pauline Kael, Tom Wolfe, Martin Amis, Gloria Steinem, and Philip Larkin-a remarkably multidimensional look at Lennon's music, myth, and mystique.

Big on content, small on editorial detail..........2000-02-23

While this books is easily worth the cover price to any Madonna fan or pop culture theorist, as it contains dozens of articles and texts that would be otherwise largely inaccessable, the editorial work is horrible. There are several transcription mistakes, which are painfully obvious even on a cursory reading. There are also many mislabled items, most notably pictures. The worst is a series of articles that are from USA Today dated 1996 - that discuss Madonna's "new" video, "Like A Prayer",which premiered seven years earlier. The articles are obviously mislabled, and no one caught on.

A recomened book for the content, but not for it's shoddy editorial job.

One Hundred Percent Madonna!.......1999-06-20

Being an extrememly dedicated Madonna fan, I am inclined to like almost any book about her. This was no exception. My favorite parts were towards the beginning because there were a lot of interviews, which I love. There were a lot of articles on other people's opinions of her work and although they were enjoyable to read for the most part; some times it would get a little monotonous. There were also some parts where it seemed many articles in a row would be negative, and that was a little annoying to read over and over. But that's what opinions and commentaries are for, right? That's definitely what this book is!

RIVETING!.......1999-02-22

The above speaks for itself

Curious.......1999-01-07

This is an odd collection of commentary on and by Lennon, sometimes boring or missing the point. However, it is interesting to note how some things were received in their day, and the introductory essay from the Boston Phoenix is the most perceptive thing I've ever read about Lennon - apart from Lennon's own massive Playboy and Rolling Stone interviews, which are not included here. Fortunately, we do get the Maureen Cleave article from the 1966 Daily Mail. All in all this collection is somewhat random (as are its chosen illustrations), but interesting.

A Grab Bag (One) of Lennonia.......1998-09-26

This constantly engaging volume offers a grab bag of John Lennon "stuff" from the early days through his 1980 murder. For one thing, it destroys the myth that there was no isnightful writing done about John or The Beatles prior to 1968 or so. Articles by Gloria Steinem and Tom Wolfe from 1964 prove both entertaining and prophetic. As well, the book contains some great obscure interviews with John & Yoko; thus John's voice is as well represented as those of others writing about him. This is a must for serious Lennon fans, and a good read for casual ones.
