lack of exercises (2&half stars).......2003-05-23

I needed to provide my two sons, 4th & 5th grade, challenging math because the school is not able to facilitate any to them. This book is quite self-explanatory and my two boys could follow it fine. (Note: I am NOT trying to recommend this book for 4th & 5th graders. My sons are at least 2 years ahead of average math skills. I am trying to emphasize that the problems are so well explained that my lower school sons can follow) However, this book lacks the following: Not enough exercises; no indepth exercise or problems; lack of word problems and applicaton. It serves well in the surface level of most pre-algebra topics, but not in-depth. I would recommend another one : Prealgebra by K. Elayn Martin-Gay, which is packed with exercises, and the lessons are very self-explanatory as well; and there are answers keys to the odd questions only.

Could be Better.......2007-06-22

The text is very heavy on the theory and provides a good background in the subject matter. Less pompous writing style could make it more readable. There are numerous spelling errors and instances of the words confused (tack instead of track, stricture instead of structure). Maybe upcoming editions will be better.

Really disappointing and useless........2005-10-02

This book is really disappointing. When the it was delivered at home, I thought the box was empty: the book is as thin as a magazine!
The content is very theorical, completely useless for executives.
Maybe OK for students who have no clue at all about what strategy is, but definitely useless for executives.

Good Book Overall.......2005-09-24

This book paints a good landscape of the evolution of strategy management over time. Even though the book has only 6 chapters the material is somewhat dense. I found myself doing a lot of re-reading to understand the details. Its extremely comprehensive though if you have a strong background in strategy and/or are pursuing your MBA and its you last semester.
If you're the average joe blow who's trying the understand the basics of strategy management I'm sure there are easier books out there you may want to read.

Excellent Guide.......2001-08-25

The concepts are well illustrated with tables and charts. Though I find the case studies a bit outdated, the strategies discussed along with it provides a clear picture on how the industry is structured and different management style. The reading is excellent and not fill with nonsense like other textbooks.

Please note that the review discussed below assumes that you are focussed on the "Positioning school of thought" as propogated by Harvard.

Quilt Restoration.......2000-02-12

This is a wonderful reference book for individuals interested in repairing family quilts or researching repair techniques. The bibliography is excellent.

Book Description

John Mills provides a critical survey of the way economics has developed. He argues that the main goal of economics ought to be to show how to achieve a combination of economic growth, full employment, low inflation, avoidance of extreme poverty, and sustainability. That it has failed to do so is neither inevitable nor accidental. It has failed because of a combination of intellectual error and the effects of social and political pressure, which Mills claims could and should have been avoided.

Customer Reviews:

So you finally got published!.......2003-09-12

After all the labor of writing your book, you found that getting it published was an almost insurmountable hurdle. The big publishers wouldn't even read it! You sent out your manuscript to dozens of publishers, and just when you were about to give up, a small publisher liked it, and has published it; but they have virtually no promotion budget!

Or, perhaps you self-published, or went to a Print-on-Demand (POD) publisher where you paid a nominal amount and they designed your cover, set your type (without proofreading), listed you on Books-In-Print and with the big wholesalers like Ingram Book Group and on Amazon.com, BarnesandNoble.com and others. But, they do not market it, and no one will read it unless they buy it first. It's existence is just your little secret!

In either case, like most first time authors (and many with considerable experience) you discover that selling your book is up to you. You can expect very little help from the publisher other than listing it and, although that is important it surely will not get you on the Best Seller list no matter how great your book is.

This book was written for you. There are some very good ideas in it, and they are things that you can do. Booksignings, book reviews, special events, of course! But, this little book is full of other things that you can do to bring attention to yourself and your book: things like making your own bookmarks, and leaving them with your tip in restaurants.

I suggest that you buy this one. There are many creative ideas in it, and every sale is a buck or two in your pocket!

Worthless.......2001-09-07

This has to be the worst book I've ever read. Well, not quite true, but definately the worst book on a topic that really interests me. The author is rather good with words, but the content is very weak and I really can't use any of the recommendations, but 2-3 of them. It's an inexpensive book, but even at the current asking price, it's too much. I'm sorry that I have to say this, vecause the idea is great.

You Must Have This One.......2001-05-29

Okay, you've finally gotten your book in print. Celebrate then buy this book. It's not enough having a book out. Unless your name is Danielle Steel or Stephen King your publisher is not going to a whole lot for you. Ignore Ms. Tedder's religious beliefs if that bothers you but buy the book and study it. I have in diskette and in print. Her suggestions are inexpensive, fun and will get your book noticed.

AN EXCELLENT PRACTICAL AND AFFORDABLE GUIDE.......2001-05-12

I bought this book as a direct result of the review written by--well, the person didn't sign his/her name--but the one-star review retitling this book, BOOK PROMOTION FOR THE BRAINLESS. I wanted to see what riled him/her up so badly, so I bought the book. Okay, so I bought it for the wrong reason, but I'm keeping it for the right one. There are a LOT of good ideas in this book! In fairness, and to keep this public ledger straight, putting a reorder postcard in a book on a shelf shouldn't have anyone tossing around words like "illegal." That could damage a person's reputation. As for Ms. Tedder's religious beliefs, I believe those are also legally protected. Bottom line: someone was having a bad-hair day. It's a good book, reasonably priced, with some very smart and practical--and affordable--ideas.

Hey, I know these people!.......2001-05-12

I love this book and didn't find any errors in my copy at all. What did surprise me was that I've met many of the authors mentioned and I've seen some of their tips. These are actual tips that people have used successfully, and a lot of them, I know I can adapt to my book promotion plans too. Some are a little over the top but as the author says when she jokes about past lives, you use what you can and adapt the rest.
