Customer Reviews:

Not a very satisfying purchase.......2006-01-24

The book is mostly very bland facts and figures. The intro to each model year is very brief and then goes straight into VINs and paint codes. I also don't like how the options and prices are written in paragraph form instead of as a list. That makes it difficult to compare between model years.
However, my biggest complaint are the book's "quality control" errors. There are a few spelling errors and there are no less than 10 pictures that are mislabled (example: a magnetic red convertible labled as an electron blue Z06). The price guide section also inexplicably contains the header: "The prices listed here represent a sample of British sports cars imported to North America, taken from the 2004 Old Cars Price Guide. If you do not see your car here , check the 2005 edition of Cars and Prices or contact the club of your British car."
There are a lot of great pictures in this book, which is its saving grace.

Decent Overview W/Price List.......2005-08-24

Very general overview - with a good pricelist. Covers all vette models - good info on colors and engine codes.

Color photos.......2006-07-29

This book has color photos. I found the photos and the lessons on how to make them intriguing, so intriguing in fact that I learnt more about this hobby because of it. I really liked the book, and as I knew nothing about it when I got it, I found that the colour photos and the detail pictures and writeups really helped me learn all I needed to know. To prove my point I uploaded one picture of a hosta and the directions. I hope that you find that useful as I did. I am not sure what the other reviewer was discussing, but perhaps that was a different edition?

This book is dated 1969 and that's ok.............2005-01-15

The pictures in this book are in black and white and small. If you are a visual learner, as I am, this is not the book to start with. After saying that, I also have to say that if you have even a little experiance with French Beaded Flowers this book is worth the price. There are lots of projects to do and the insturctions are fairly simple.Each and every book on French Beaded Flowers, and there are not to many of them, offers something the others missed. If you are just starting out use one of Darlene Kellys or Donna DeAngles Dickett books because the pictures are better. It makes it easier if you can see a picture of what your flower is going to look like. This book though is a welcome addition to my growning library of books on French Beaded Flowers.

Excellent Guide.......2007-03-08

I have Parkinson's, and this is the most comprehensive, up-to-date book on the subject I've seen. If you are buying one book on this topic, this is the book to get.

Must have.......2004-09-21

If you have PD or care for someone or know someone with it you will find this book helpful in any of those situations. I learned many things from this book. Including that some things my husband, who has early onset PD, was going through that turned out were symptoms and not just random events. I thank those that wrote this for helping me care for him and being informed. Also, they section on young onset PD really helped because i was beginning to feel he had intermediate PD when really it was signs and symptoms from his Y.O.P.D. It lifted a heavy weight knowing he wasn't that far into the disease (intermediate stage). I was able to rely many things to his nuerologist that he was experiencing based upon my reading so he can get better care. Thank you.

Parkinson's Disease: A Complete Guide for Patients and Famil.......2004-05-03

EXCELLENT resource book !!! I am back ordering a second copy for our family to share around.... gives excellent, detailed information on both the physical side of the disease and the side-effects of the medications... easy read... very comprehensive... I recommend HIGHLY !!

Parkinson's Disease.......2002-04-20

The author of this book did a great job in explaining what Parkinson's Disease is and giving information for the patient and the caregiver. I am a dental hygienist and I learned just an overview of the disease in school. After having my first patient with the disease I decided to learn more about it. I learned alot from this book that I should of already known for my patient. The book tells you the symptoms and the side effects of the disease and advice on drug therapy, diet, and exercise. Some people don't even know that they have the disease for a couple of months or even years. They think it is just old age or arthritis. The book also states what kind of medical advice to seek.
I have never met a patient with Parkinson's Disease until a couple of months ago. I didn't know what to expect. When the patient walked in I was shocked. She looked normal and wasn't shaking. She was the sweetest patient I had met. She explained to me her life and how she lives with the disease. She said that she sometimes gets embarrased to be seen in public when she has her tremors because she thinks that everyone is staring at her. But she said she is the same person as all of us. She just has to take medication and she gets tired alot more than you and me. When I was cleaning her teeth she only had mild tremors so it wasn't that difficult to work on her. But one day I will probably get a patient who has severe tremors but I am ready thanks to this book in guiding me with the knowledge of what I needed to know. I think that if you know someone who has Parkinson's disease or if you would like to learn more about the disease buy this book and you will be filled with all the information you need to know about Parkinson's disease.

Good Information.......2002-02-13

Never having had any experience or knowledge on the basis of this disease, I got the book to help me understand my father's disease. I have gotten a fuller understanding of the causes of the disease, the symptoms, the treatments (and making decisions regarding the selections of the treatments), and the progression of the disease. I feel much better informed and feel I can support my father better because of it. It was definitely written to help support the patient and family supporting that patient.

This edition features completely rewritten chapters on genetics and on surgery for Parkinson's Disease. New drugs and improvements in levodopa therapy are described, and a new chapter addresses the question of whether levodopa affects disease progression. An appendix lists the trade names, generic names, and formulations of commonly prescribed drugs.

Clear and Concise.......2005-10-12

This book is invaluable for the newly diagnosed Parkinson's patient and caregiver. Well-written in easily understood language, it lays out the symptoms, treatment, and what to expect. We are much better prepared to deal with this disease and the lifestyle changes it entails as a result of the information herein.

Comprehensive, up-to-date, practical guide........1999-03-09

Dr. Duvoisin and Dr. Sage have compiled an excellent guide that takes the reader from the basics of what Parkinson's disease is to the latest theories of the mechanisms of Parkinson's. It also goes ino great detail on the diffrent types of medications for the treatment of the disease. Included are exercise recomendations for the various stages and dietary considerations. This book is not just another Parkinson's disease book - it is a must for Care-giver and patient alike.

From an RN.......1999-03-02

This book is an informative guide to almost everything anyone would want to know about Parkinson's Disease. It has in depth information about diagnosis, meds, and a great amount of information on ways to manage this disease. The book was bought for a patient, but the nurses I work with all wanted a copy. In my opinion, the text is at a college reading level--it is not simplified, and readers not familiar with medical terms would want to keep a medical dictionary handy. It would make a very good resource for the patient with a high reading level and for members of the medical team who are looking for resources for patient education on Parkinson's Disease.

Holocaust: From Past to Present.......2000-02-16

A wonderful collection of artwork that ranges from the history of the Holocaust to how it's dangers are still present in modern society. I have the honor of attending a university that is displaying the artwork and the having the artist visit. It is a must see for every race and nationality. If you are unable to see the work in person, this book is a MUST have!

Excellent.......1998-04-09

A terrific book by one of the most famous feminist artists. When one considers the cruelties of males against Jewish women during and after the Holocaust, it is a pleasure to discover this book, which shows Judy Chicago's passionate work to remind us of the horrors while also discovering her Jewishness just as she contemplated the victimization of the Jews. I love this book.
