    5 out of 5 stars Couldn't Have made it without it!.......1999-12-07

    This book was my bible when traveling around China. I was going to use Lonely Planet, but it wasn't much of a help in planning my trip. Travel for dummies wasn't just a book that I had to plop into the middle of Chgina with, rather I went into China knowing already where and how I was going to go across the country. Even with language difficulties I made it! Mr. Vadnai should be given a raise and asked to write some more!

    5 out of 5 stars A Useful Reference.......1999-03-05

    Even though I spend a lot of time on the Net and I am very good at searching the Web, this book has proven useful whenever I want to find out something travel related. I use it mostly as a quick reference to keep track of URLs and sites. The directory section is my favorite part because I can flip through and find a bunch of sites that have the type of info I'm looking for. The author knows his stuff, but I do sometimes find the numbered lists a bit annoying, but those are in all For Dummies books, so I guess its not his fault.

    3 out of 5 stars Airfare info was good but car rental info was lacking.......1999-02-28

    Although I did learn a couple of new tricks (Flight Tracker in TheTrip.com) I was disappointed I didn't find anything new to save me money that I wasn't already using from reading magazine articles. The car rental information was severely lacking in this book. This is a very mysterious part of the travel industry, with prices jumping $100 a day. I would have liked more insight into why this happens and what the strategies are for getting good rates. Car rental discount codes are not even discussed.

    5 out of 5 stars Refreshingly usable even for the novice net user........1999-02-13

    This book manages to unravel what would normally be a mind boggling endeavor. It manages to guide you through every conceivable travel need you might have in a very understandable and usable fashion. More than just being my own travel agent, I can now feel confident that I can use the net as a safety net for any circumstance that may arise whether it occurrs before or after I start my trip. I use this book to cover all the bases of travel (from my home base or from anywhere I have access to a computer). More vital to pack this than even your contraceptives.

    5 out of 5 stars An indispensable tool for the savvy independent traveler!.......1998-12-29

    I can't sing the praises of this book enough!! It truly helped me to save money and make my trip to Europe and North Africa one of the smoothest planned trips ever! It really is a great time-saving tool that makes planning a trip anywhere in the world as easy as turning on the computer. For anyone planning a major or minor trip this book will save you time, money and the aggravation of dealing with travel 'professionals'.

      Rave Reviews for the First Edition. "Total Business Budgeting is aptly titled. Everyone concerned about budgeting and how to implement or improve the process should have this volume on hand. Rachlin's liberal use of helpful forms is particularly clever." -Michael W. Curran President and CEO Decision Sciences Corporation, St. Louis, Missouri "Total Business Budgeting is well thought out and comprehensive. It simplifies the budgeting process by providing the content in an easy-to-read format. This is the only budgeting book I will ever need." -Thomas Farrell Director of Business Development, Ernst & Young LLP "Total Business Budgeting goes beyond presenting a set of basic budgeting guidelines and applications-along with helpful exhibits and forms-for all segments of business operations. A valuable compendium of underlying techniques associated with each business segment is also included in brief, easy-to-read format. Rachlin's book provides a guide for budgeting and a take-off point for more specialization and more complex situations." -Serge L. Wind Portfolio Analysis and Special Projects Finance Director Lucent Technologies, Inc.

      2 out of 5 stars budgets for beginers.......2007-07-29

      this book provides a thinking basis and initial insight into the budget process.
      It will take people on a beginers level and upgrade their thinking to a medium level.

      The book does not provide advanced techniques and methods and does not take into account the advances of new technology.

      Overall I do not recommend this book - their are better ones out their.

      3 out of 5 stars Small book, high price, manufacturing focus, no CD.......2007-07-20

      This book is good but for the price I expected more. Most issues are only given a couple of paragraphs, examples and topics are geared towards manufacturing and there is no CD with the forms in excel - you have to recreate them yourself. I wouldn't call this "total" business budgeting. If I saw this in a bookstore I probably wouldn't buy it unless the price was more like $40.

            This is a very nice book with lovely pictures. However as a practical guide to creating boquets and arrangements it has little to offer.

            1 out of 5 stars Very Little Selection.......2001-09-27

            I am a florist and I purchase books for my shop that can spark the imagination of prospect brides. This book was outdated with very little selection for today's bride.

            2 out of 5 stars Not what you might expect~.......2000-03-22

            When I ordered this book I was hoping to find actual floral arrangement diagrams for a wedding, and while the book is nice, and the illustrations are pretty, they weren't very resourceful for someone who is looking to create they own floral arrangements. The content, instructions, etc. just are not there. If you want to look at some pretty pictures to get ideas for decorating, or to take to a seasoned florist, it may be useful, but this is not a how-to book. This book would be better suited to a person who is looking for new ideas, but who already has a background in floral arranging. To say the least I was very dissappointed.

            3 out of 5 stars What you see is not what you get.......1997-12-06

            When I started reading this book, I was really hoping that it would help me shave off some of the exorbitant costs associated with weddings by allowing me to make some of my own flower arrangements. While this is a beautiful book, I can't say that it does what the title says. True, it shows a really nice and easy to make headband wreath, but that was the extent of the knowledge I got from this book. The pictures, at best, give you some ideas about flower arrangements, but some are unclear and often it seems that the scenery and the people in the pictures are the subject, instead the flowers. In a how-to flower guide I would assume that the flowers should take center stage. Overall, I would give it a C+.

              Customer Reviews:

              5 out of 5 stars Couldn't put it down.......2006-12-27

              A while ago,I bought this book after reading some high praise for it on a message board. It went into my to-be-read pile, where it languished for some months while I worked my way down through previous purchases.

              Then yesterday evening I started into it. And couldn't stop (except for necessities) till I'd finished it, far later than I'd intended to stay up. It was well-written, illuminated by early film history without a whiff of dustiness, illustrated with a marvelous collection of images, and best of all, took the Theda Bara I'd known only from campy college posters and revealed the delightful, complex woman behind the image.

              Highly, highly recommended, and has spurred me on to buy Eve Golden's other books, and to hover by my mailbox in keen anticipation of their delivery.

              4 out of 5 stars All hail the Queen of the Vamps!.......2005-10-04

              This is a fascinating quick read on one of the earliest real moviestars, the screen's first sex symbol, and a truly legendary star. Ms. Golden writes with a balanced style, neither an unapologetic sycophant nor a hard-to-please critic. She's an admirer of Theda's life, interested in both her acting career and in her life off of the screen, although she isn't afraid to call a spade a spade and discuss a critical turkey that Theda was cast in. However, as lively and informative a read as this may be, it can only go into so much depth about Theda's life and acting career, given what a private person she was and how a lot of details about her early life and her life after retiring from the screen may never be fully known. And, of course, since only a handful of her films survive, none of them representative of her true talents, the discussion about her films can also only go so far and deep. We get plenty of information about the storylines, critical response to them, the filming experiences, Theda's feelings at acting in them (she was quite unhappy at how most of her roles were Vamping roles instead of getting more chances to play sympathetic characters), but without having a chance to actually see these films, we can't really have a full valid analysis of them. Reviewers of the time either loved or hated her, and it really does seem like she were a fine screen actor (her stage acting is another matter), but minus the visual evidence, even a good biography such as this one can only go by what people of the time said and what is evident about her talents even in her handful of surviving mediocre vehicles. Unless more of her films are found, like 'Salome,' 'Cleopatra,' or 'Under Two Flags,' there's no way one can convincingly prove her full worth as an actor, how many of her films would have held up over time, if time might have given some of them their revenge. But what we do know for certain are the facts reported in this book, that Theodosia Goodman was a pampered child from Ohio, an intellectual snob and insatiable bookworm her entire life, interested in mysticism and things many people today would term Goth (although the stories cooked up about her by the press are another story; she was never that much of a mystic!), devoted to her husband, a very talented actor who was trapped in a role she didn't entirely feel comfortable in, a stunningly beautiful woman when photographed correctly or seen in motion (all of the photos in the book are wonderful!). I also liked the information on why most of her films were lost; it's well-known that at least 75% of all silents have been lost, but I didn't know the specifics as to why so many of Theda's in particular were lost apart from the fire at Fox Studios in 1937. Many silents were lost within their own lifetimes, not just by the Thirties and Forties. It's also explained why she went out of vogue; besides the fact that there were new Vamps on the scene, and that the public preferred flapper movies now, Theda's style of acting had majorly gone out of vogue by the mid-Twenties, when the method of acting that was taught and praised in the Teens had long since been replaced by a more natural acting style.

              5 out of 5 stars A Fascinating Woman.......2003-03-05

              Iým not sure where or when I first heard of Theda Bara, but ever since I did, I thought it was a ýcoolý name. The name --- and that she was an actress in the distant past --- was about all I knew about her ... until I read Eve Goldenýs excellent book. I got this book more or less on a whim; but from it I learned a great deal about this fascinating actress with the cool name. It turns out that she probably was a pretty ýcoolý person as well! In fact, this book led me to seek out copies of the few remaining movies Miss Bara made --- such a pity that more examples of her work donýt exist. The examples Iýve seen are, it is often said, not her best; but she seems to have been quite a capable actress.

              This is not a review of Miss Bara, however, but of Ms. Goldenýs book. And a great book it is: informative, well-illustrated (I agree with the authorýs philosophy that ýa biography without pictures is like a cake without icingý), and with a clear writing style. It is extremely well-researched too --- the numerous quotes from contemporary reviews of Miss Baraýs movies shows that Ms. Golden did her homework.

              I donýt know exactly what some reviewers meant when they noted Ms. Goldenýs ýsarcasticý attitude. I enjoyed her writing. Her book was informative, not too scholarly, and written with good humor. I think itýs a book Miss Bara herself might have liked. It certainly succeeded in sparking my interest in this actress, and in the genre of silent films in general.

              In this book you will learn not only about Theda Baraýs life and work; you will also discover much about the early film industry, and about Hollywood publicity operations too. And hereýs an interesting tidbit: the ýcoolý name was not really an invention of a Hollywood studio at all; in fact, the ýArab Deathý story came about as an afterthought, long after the name itself had stuck on Theodosia (ýThedaý) Goodman.

              5 out of 5 stars Great Look Into Hollywoods First Bad Girl.......2003-02-17

              I have always had an interest in the Silent Era this was one of the first books I read on this era.Theda Bara was the movies first bad girl in reality the book will show that she was happiest with a book in her lap. What I mostly enjoy about Eve Golden and her work is her ability to write a biography without showing bias.This is a great intersting account into the life of Hollywoods "Vamp".

              5 out of 5 stars A quick read of the original Vamp.......2001-08-08

              This is a great book considering how little info is available on Theda Bara. The author put a lot of research and care into this book. It's a terrific book for both silent film buffs and femminists. Theda deserves her title as "The Woman Who Defined VAMP"!

              The marriage of Virginia and Leonard Woolf is best understood as a dialogue of two outsiders about ideas of social and political belonging and exclusion. These ideas infused the written work of both partners and carried over into literary modernism itself, in part through the influence of the Woolfs' groundbreaking publishing company, the Hogarth Press. In this book, the first to focus on Virginia Woolf's writings in conjunction with those of her husband, Natania Rosenfeld illuminates Leonard's sense of ambivalent social identity and its affinities to Virginia's complex ideas of subjectivity.

              At the time of the Woolfs' marriage, Leonard was a penniless ex-colonial administrator, a fervent anti-imperialist, a committed socialist, a budding novelist, and an assimilated Jew who vacillated between fierce pride in his ethnicity and repudiation of it. Virginia was an "intellectual aristocrat," socially privileged by her class and family background but hobbled through gender. Leonard helped Virginia elucidate her own prejudices and elitism, and his political engagements intensified her identification with outsiders in British society. Rosenfeld discovers an aesthetic of intersubjectivity constantly at work in Virginia Woolf's prose, links this aesthetic to the intermeshed literary lives of the Woolfs, and connects both these sites of dialogue to the larger sociopolitical debates--about imperialism, capitalism, women, sexuality, international relations, and, finally, fascism--of their historical place and time.

              1 out of 5 stars Buyer beware.......2007-08-09

              I have no qualifications to write reviews other than an MLS in library science and I am an eclectic reader entirely of nonfiction with only a few exceptions. Because I read all kinds of things, I am fairly tolerant of style, but I must offer a warning to any potential buyer of this book on the basis of writing style. I'm sure there is excellent scholarship here as you would expect since the author is a college teacher. However, in the first paragraph of the book are found the following words/phrases: tropes ... microcosmic forms of colonization, tyranny or warmongering ... inbuilt hierarchy ... learning toward the metaphor ... traditionally conceived actuality ... etc. Now this style is a shame because the title sounded like just what I was looking for and the two people who are the subject of the book surely should make an interesting study. But with a writing style like this, I can't imagine anyone but scholars would want to slog through the jargon in order to arrive at the content. Sorry to be so critical, but I wanted a study of the people and I didn't find it.

                                    From the supplier: The US Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit ruled that certified public accountants (CPAs) are not allowed to use their professional licenses to engage in commission-yielding transactions that create a conflict between their interests and those of their clients. The appeals court reached its decision after reviewing the case of California CPA Ross Johnson, who regularly accepted commissions from the sale of investment products to his accounting clients. The court's decision was based on Section 5061 of the California accountancy laws.

                                      From the supplier: House Resolution No. 1485 was proposed by Congressman Leon Panetta (D-CA) in 1991 to introduce changes in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 that would enable CPAs and enrolled agents to represent their clients before the Tax Court in cases involving taxes not exceeding $10,000. Unfortunately, the bill was shot down in 1992. Accountants are urged to lobby for its passage.

                                          This is Jordan Shifrin's second book on the "Corpus Condo" or laws and procedures governing Associations. Sprinkled throughout are his own philosophies, jokes and a few favorite quotes.

                                          When he is not writing, he provides legal advice to Associations, rides a motorcycle, plays golf and tennis and dusts off his toy soldiers.

                                          Jordan Shifrin grew up on the north side of Chicago, attended Senn High School, graduated from the University of Illinois at Chicago with a Bachelor's Degree and a Master's degree in history. He was a clothing salesman, insurance adjuster and a teacher before he went to law school, but always wanted to be a writer.

                                          This book is chock full with a wealth of valuable information but also keeps the interest level of readers who do not take themselves too seriously.

                                          This should be a "must read" for prospective Board Members and newly formed Property Owners Associations. While the author resides and is experienced in Illinois, there is a lot of insight that applies across the board. This book is easy to read and very helpful to our ownership.
