Book Description
South Australia is a conundrum - so much to do; so little time! Adelaide's feast of great restaurants and multitude of cultural entertainments compete with easy getaways such as the Barossa Valley or Kangaroo Island. And then there's the Flinders Ranges and the otherworldly experience of the SA outback...Maybe you'd better stay an extra week?
• DINE OUT - grab a quick plate of Coffin Bay oysters in an arty cafe, or linger over a succulent steak while you decide if it suits a McLaren Vale shiraz or a Coonawarra merlot
• GRAPE WORSHIP - there's probably a law against visiting South Australia without seeing some of Australia's greatest wineries (if it's not illegal, it should be!)
• FIND YOURSELF - with 70 maps to help navigate from theatre to market to cafe, and Detour boxed texts to escape 'the crowds'
• SHAKE IT, BABY - they don't call it the Festival State for nothing! Find the nearest outdoor extravaganza and join in the end of that conga line

Especially for those seeking more depth than the usual Australia-wide coverage can offer.......2005-10-06
There's a lot to do in South Australia: so much that it deserves a book of its own separate from just a generic travel guide to the entire country - and Adelaide & South Australia serves just this purpose, allowing the visitor to focus on the region's many offerings. Excellent small maps accompany clear descriptions of accommodations, eating, sightseeing, and natural wonders. With its information-packed pages, it's a 'must' for any destination-oriented traveler planning a visit to the region; especially for those seeking more depth than the usual Australia-wide coverage can offer.

Remedial Sales advice, not Insurance .......2006-07-23
I buy numerous sales techniques books, way too many as a matter of fact. I bought this book because as a beginning insurance sales agent, I thought it would give me some tips ABOUT INSURANCE SELLING. Not to be, this book is a very basic sales technique guide to selling ANYTHING. If you want basic sales guidance, buy "The Accidental Salesperson" or the Sandler Sales Institute book "You Can't Learn to Ride a Bicycle....".
I bought this book through Amazon because I have never seen it in a bookstore. Do not waste your money on this book...my apologies to the author who undoubtedly could provide insurance related ideas but took a very remedial road with this book. If it is self-published, more power to the author, I wish I could get the guts to commit some of my sales thoughts in a book.

Principles of Principled Life Insurance Selling.......2006-06-29
This book was pretty worthless. First of all it was full of grammatical errors, which leads me to believe the author didn't care very much. Secondly, there was nothing that was discussed that was very helpful. Lots of logical, common sense stuff. The book was not very thick and just dissappointing in general. I notice that it was self published through iUniverse which is understandable since I'm sure no one else would publish it. Can I get my money back?
principles of principled life insurance selling.......2005-10-10
too basic. i would like a book revealing a total life insurance selling system. thank you.

Great for children.......2002-06-26
The text was easy-to-read, and the information was usefull. It has good pictures, and gives the reader an idea of how to care for a ferret. All in all, it was quite usefull.
Buy it for the pictures, not for an education!.......1999-07-12
While this book is loaded with cute pictures of ferrets, the information it contains is often outdated, if not downright incorrect. I'd only give it a 1/2 star if the option was there. Buy it if you already are knowledgeable about ferrets so you can just enjoy the pictures. It scares me to think a new ferret owner might use this book as a resource! Please get the Shefferman book instead, it is far more valuable and accurate!

Excellent reference guide for IBC code.......2007-03-16
I am a registered architect, and purchased this book for the purpose of studying for the NCIDQ interior design licensing exam. I had no idea how clearly, simply, and comprehensively it would cover the IBC code (and some others). I'm sure it will be an asset for my NCIDQ preparation, but even more so, I have been able to reference it for my architecture practice.
GREAT BOOK!
Codes are Fun!.......2005-09-23
Could studying building codes actually be fun? Much to my surprise, when you combine this book with the companion study guide workbook it is. The author presents the information on the codes clearly and in logical order. I am studying for my NCIDQ exam and was really nervous about the "codes questions" until I got this book.
The Codes Guidebook for Interiors- professional peer review.......2005-09-23
I own each of the 3 editions of this book, and have found the information to be a well source of sound, practical advise concerning the application of codes as they relate to interior projects. I am an Interior Designer and I refer to my copy of Codes Guidebook for Interiors regularly for projects I am involved in. This book and the companion study guide are part of the recommended resources for studying and preparing for the NCIDQ examination. I believe this book should be a part of every commercial practitioners library, whether they be an architect or interior designer.
Informative.......2000-02-15
The Codes Guidebook for Interiors is a simple, straight forward guide to understanding how building codes regulate design. The guidebook builds a chapter by chapter systematic approach to code research and application that can be followed by every practictioner regardless of building locale.

Book Description
For the first time, you can put conjecture aside and read definitive proof about the roles Chaney had behind the scenes as well as in front of the camera.
Customer Reviews:
Outstanding, lively - like the times it describes.......2001-07-18
This is a fascinating look at a long-gone time. Mr. Blake's book not only gives the reader great insight into the artistry and work of Lon Chaney, it is a peak into the past, of the days of silent film.
Beyond the other rave reviews for this book relative to the artist, what made this book all the more valuable to me was Mr. Blake's description on movie-making at the turn of the 20th century. We can hear, feel and almost smell the greasepaint of that time, the hard work, the ramshackle artistry of these cinema pioneers.
This is one of the best books on early film, and a credit to the magic of Lon Chaney.
A worthy companion.......2000-06-23
Michael F. Blake's second book on Lon Chaney, A Thousand Faces: Lon Chaney's Unique Artistry in Motion Pictures, is a worthy and much-welcome companion volume to the author's first book: Lon Chaney: The Man Behind The Thousand Faces. This book serves a two-fold purpose: First, Blake reveals a lot of new information he uncovered about the actor's life and films since his first book. Second, this time around biography takes a backseat to a detailed look at the films themselves (although there is still plenty to be learned of Chaney's life).
Being THE acknowledged Chaney authority and having acted himself at an early age, Blake is able to provide a knowledgeable and well-balanced analysis/commentary of Chaney's films (at least those that are not "lost"). While certainly the biggest fan of Lon Chaney, Blake maintains the needed objectively to fairly critique each film and performance. As with his first book, a big highlight here is the wealth of rare photos presented (including Lon both in and out of make-up), as is the always fascinating information on how Chaney, a make-up master, created those amazing characters. Blake is to be lauded for his vast efforts in keeping alive the legacy of one of the greatest talents of the silent era. Thanks to author Blake, all the many fans of Lon Chaney can be assured that Chaney's many talents and contributions to the world of film (and film make-up!) will never be forgotten.
A great introduction to a master of film.......2000-03-29
Before reading this book, I knew almost nothing of Lon Chaney except his reputation as a horror actor. I was amazed to discover exactly how misleading that title actually was. Blake's work introduced a genius at makeup and pantomime who was capable of playing any role convincingly. Through it, I gained a respect for a great but seldom-discussed actor.
This book is a worthy sequel to Blake's first book on Chaney.......1998-09-29
This is one sequel that is worth waiting for! Armed with new information from the files of Lon Chaney's former business manager, Blake has written a worthy follow-up to his first book on the famous actor. This time, Blake covers Chaney's performances and the making of many of his films in the reader-friendly tone he established in his first book. Blake has broken new ground in film history, revealing that it was Chaney's idea to make "Hunchback of Notre Dame", NOT Universal's studio head, Irving Thalberg!! It is just amazing what new nuggets of information Blake dug up, including lengthy interviews with probably the only surviving crew memeber from Chaney's MGM days and a nurse who attended him during his last trip to New York where he sought a cure of his cancer. He also debunks the myth that Chaney would have played the title role in "Dracula". It is heavily illustrated with many super rare photos. This book is just as good, if not better, than Blake's first effort. Both are a MUST if you're an admirer of Lon Chaney.
