Stern's Guide to Cruise vacation 2005.......2005-10-31

Useful but not as comprehensive or up to date as others.

Good, but out of date.......2005-10-13

It's a good book, but some data about cruise lines and ships are out of date. The info about cruise ships are poor (it could be more complete and organized as in Berlitz guide). This guide is better for passenger asking for info about destinations (but the info on Brazil is also poor - there's no reference to important destinations as Búzios, Ilhabela, Florianopolis, Fortaleza, Recife, Natal and the paradise islands of Fernando de Noronha).

Great resource for token collectors!.......2007-03-09

Put on your reading glasses and your back-brace! This updated volume (4th edition) is huge, heavy, and filled to the brim with small print and b/w pictures...but those are necessary evils considering the breadth of information covered in this book. I wondered if the $35 price would be justified and I suppose it is. There may be easier ways (e.g., on-line) to find information about individual tokens, private merchant coins and cards, commemorative US coins, campaign tokens, as well as territorial gold and silver, but for serious collectors of early American exonumia or anyone trying to identify or establish the value of an unusual US coin, this volume is indispensable. I only wish my eyes were better! I'm glad I bought the book. Beyond its usefulness as a field guide, it is chock-full of interesting historical information and trivia, making it a very cool resource for anyone curious about how commerce, politics, and territorial expansion took place in colonial and post-colonial times. It also covers the Civil War era and after, up until the turn of the 20th century. Collecting these rare coins can be a gratifying hobby. Many of the coins are quite affordable and all are interesting snapshots of the mindset of our forebears. Also, by using this guide one might discover that the weird coin or faded store card found in Grandpa's sock drawer is a unique treasure which could yield big "bucks" (an exonumia term: buckskins were used as currency in the colonial period) at the next coin show or in an online auction. I gave the book 4 stars only because there are no color pictures, even though the details of coins are often easier to see in black and white. If there were color plates, however, I might not have been able to afford to buy this book.

The all around best reference book for United States Tokens........2007-02-20

This is the absolute best reference book for collectors of United States Tokens and exonumia. The detailed pictures make identification easy and the index works extremely well. This is a must have for any United States coin/token collector. A++

Customer Reviews:

Great book with great ideas.......2007-07-22

Not only does this book tell you some great ways to transform a shirt but it has so many ideas in it that it is so easy for you to get more ideas of your own. I love this book and thus far this is my fav. book on t-shirt reconstruction.

Fun and Practical.......2007-05-15

I ordered several books which discussed ideas on sewing with recycled materials. This book was the best one because the ideas and instructions were easy to follow and fun! Everything turned out great. However, someone needs to come up with some shirt ideas for the over-35 crowd.

Best of the recon books........2007-02-16

I've read at least 5 books on t-shirt and clothing reconstruction, and this is the best of them. It's full of projects I actually want to make (and have made), and it's easy to take the basic ideas in this book and use them as a starting point to create my own designs.

Great ideas in this book.......2006-11-14

Things you would never think of. A lot of them are very simple, and don't require a sewing machine or previous knowledge of sewing.

skip this one.......2006-11-01

This has a nicely varied assortment of projects, not just wearables, but it is nothing too fantastic-- car lot pennants? Placemats? They may be celebrities, but they arent doing any mind-blowing design. Another problem with this book is that some of the projects require a wide-spread crafting knowledge (screenprinting and crochet) and the supplies for those things (screen and ink, squeegee, etc) which could get a little spendy. the wearables are not that cute or inspired (applying rows of snaps, embroidering on the shoulder? children could have come up with this stuff. check it out at the library first. This wasnt at all what I was looking for, but it might inspire you. It did have great photos.
