Just what we needed!.......2007-04-07

This guide was very helpful during our recent trip to Philadelphia. It fits in a small pocket book. We tried a few of the recommended restaurants and weren't disappointed. Good short descriptions of important places to visit.

A nice resource if you want to visit Philly.......2006-09-24

I have been to Philadelphia quite a few times; this volume is always a great help.

Any book that purports to be a guide to a large city is going to run into difficulties: restaurants come and go--even good ones, so that there will be some obsolescence in the work; some good places will not be listed, simply because of the large number of possible places to visit, dine at, stay at, etc.

All that said, this is still a good help for those wanting to spend some time in Philadelphia and the surrounding region. The maps are very helpful in getting a sense of what attractions and facilities are where. The section on dining is quite nice, although it does leave out some estimable restaurants; the discussion of hotels is very helpful and has informed me when I have planned trips to the city. Interested in cultural opportunities? The book does a good job of outlining attractions to visit.

And another positive aspect of this particular volume is the description of nearby attractions--from Bucks County to Lancaster County to Hershey to Gettysburg.

In short, if you are thinking of a trip to Philadelphia and/or the surrounding area, this is a good companion to have with you to help plan itineraries.

It had all you needs.......2007-01-10

simple and clean, rather go through all of the sites to search what you actually need to register your company, this book guide you through that. also, book v.s. web sites, the book gives you more insight to cross comparison on all the legal structures that you need to choose, pros and cons, to make you select what fits you, instead of reading laws on the web only tell you what is LLC and etc. I will keep it although I formed my company after reading this book.

Recommended by small business coach...........2006-12-12

If you are thinking of starting your own business in California, especially if you have never done it before, you will find that this book is worth its weight in gold.

This resource takes the complication out of starting a business, contacting the right agencies and doing things legally. It cuts through a lot of confusion, has an encouraging tone and presents what you need to know in a very logical and easy to understand format.

I often recommend this book to my small business clients and find it to be a useful general reference. It also points to many other good resources and is a good value for such a comprehensive book.

Small Business Start-up Kit.......2006-08-25

It is well written and easy to understand. Not a lot of legal jargon that you have to wade through, but legal nevertheless. I will continue to use it for a reference.
Thank you for such a easy to read and understand book!

Great book.......2005-02-06

This book saved me a lot of money by allowing me to form my own one-owner California corporation. I liked the fact that it explained why it wasn't recommending certain things so that you could decide whether it was worth it to you or not.

The only area that I felt it could have explained things more thoroughly was that while it explained how to issue initial shares, it didn't explain at all how to issue any subsequent shares (e.g., in case your corporation was about to run out of money and you (the owner) wanted to buy more shares to inject more capital). It just said to consult a lawyer. So I had to inject more capital via a loan instead. If it's that complicated, then perhaps the author should warn people to slightly overcapitalize the corporation initially.

excellent for starters.......2002-12-17

This book is easy to read and follow. It has a complete list of things you need to do to set up your own business and some good advices. Highly recommended!

Excellent Book.......2007-05-17

Very easy to read and understand -and the book is the perfect size to bring with you to a nursery when Hosta shopping. This guy really knows his Hostas!

Useful handbook.......2005-07-03

I've learned a lot about all the Hosta varieties... how they compare and contrast to each other so I can figure out what I'm actually buying and where I should plant them, how large they can get and what they will be like when mature, and have gotten a basic concept of how the varieties were developed over the years. Very useful, it is a handbook for understanding the hobby of Hostas and does that job well.

Not really a "coffee table" type book if that is what you want, even thou the pictures are good

Best Little Hosta Book Out There!.......2005-01-05

Absolutely the BEST book on hostas that I have found so far. When I first opened the package this book came in, I laughed to myself and said, "Gee, I didn't order half a book!" The book is spiral bound, 600 pages - but only 9" x 4.25" (page size) so it looks like someone chopped the book in half!

Nevertheless, this book is crammed full of great information on many of the hosta cultivars you will be able to find for sale. And because of it's size, it should be easy to bring along when I go "hosta hunting." I would imagine it would be almost impossible to write one book and include information about all - there are just too many cultivars in the hosta world!

I heartily recommend this book to anyone who wants the useful information at their fingertips - while looking through online selections or as a field guide while shopping or just exploring a garden!

The last word in hosta reference books.......2004-06-04

Zilis's book is excellent. More than just pretty pictures, he gives solid information on the varied world of hostas. Climate, plant quirks, personal observations, as well as leaf size, color, growth habits and more. This book is superior and makes the other hosta books in my library look like simple picture books.

If you're going to buy a solid hosta reference book, buy this one.

Helpful and Handy.......2003-07-22

An excellent overview of hostas!! Size and binding are functional for use at garden sales, etc. Loved by most members of the Midsouth Hosta Society!!

Book Description

«Two of the natural gifts humans have are imagination and humor. As God gave me too much of both these, I'm letting myself make good use of them (with all the respect God deserves). That is why I know that He has a good sense of humor. I know He does!» Says the known humorist Jorge Porcel. This is an ingenious book that presents humor from a different perspective... A funny way of coming out of the daily routines.

A Scholar's Work.......2003-06-05

This biography is written in an economical and polished prose. The skill of which is emphasized by meticulous editing and organization. The end result is a subtle, compassionate yet realistic examination of his life. The book is not written for his cult following or for ideological affirmation.

It presents a thorough account of Tone's life. The account examines his actions and decisions not only in the context of his personal traits and character but expands the analysis to reflect the effects on Tone of the political turbulence of 18th century Ireland and the impact of the French Revolution.

One of the strongest attractions of Tone's story is the contrast between his social status at the beginning of his adult life with his status when he died.

Tone was a graduate of Trinity College and studied law at the Middle Temple in London for two years. He then became a barrister in Dublin. His personal history reveals that he is a member of Dublin's social and political elite. Arguably he was a member of the Protestant Ascendancy. The author points out that Tone always retained a very Protestant and elitist perception of the Irish Masses thinking them to be vulgar and prone to deceit. This was tempered by a sincere compassion for the poor and a strong sense of honor.Tone believed that many problems in Ireland were caused by the religious divisions of his countrymen.These divisions in his estimation perpetuated British rule and stagnated Ireland's development.

From this beginning he became a formidable pamphleteer, reformer and advocate for Cathoilic rights, and ultimately an armed revolutionary opponent of English rule in Ireland. This zeal led him into military service as an officer in the French Army with a command in an aborted armed invasion to liberate Ireland.

The author presents several insights into Tone's complex and unique character. She notes that Tone was restless and single-minded, yet argues that this quality of single-mindedness could just as easily have propelled him in one direction as another.

Tone is described by acquaintances, friends, and even enemies as personable and charming.This is reflected in the statement of Captain Elias Thackeray of the Cambridgeshire Militia. Thackeray had the duty to escort Tone from prison in Derry to his trial in Dublin. He recalled Tone as '... the most delightful companion he ever traveled with.'

The value of Elliot's account of events is enhanced by her use of contemporaneous letters written by those most closely involved in the events. The Author's study is perhaps more detailed, erudite and insightful than is generally demanded. She notes that every political grouping accepts Tone's reputation as the 'father' of Irish republican nationalism but each takes from his tradition only what is needed to sustain its own stance.
