The Last Log of the Titanic: What Really Happened on the Doomed Ship's Bridge? 11 reviews
David G. Brown
International Marine/Ragged Mountain Press, 2000
A CRACKING GOOD READ
I first read this book in 2000 and found it to be one of the more plausible explanations of the damage suffered by TITANIC when she hit the berg, as well as what happened afterward. Captain Brown has brought what is so lacking in many TITANIC books into LAST LOG OF THE TITANIC--actual shiphandling experience. Captain Brown had also produced an eminently readable text, one which I think most ...

Excellent! Easy to read over and over again.
My daughter (2 1/2) loves this book. She has me read it to her every night before bed along with 2 other books. This book has remained constant along with Charlie and Lola's I am not sleepy and I will not go to bed. There is always something you missed the first or fifteenth time around when reading this book to your little one. Very well written and a lot of fun. Also just came across the ...

Rick Carson
Collins, 2008
Transformative
Written with great wit and deceptive simplicity, this book goes directly to the heart of self-awareness, as opposed to analysis and judgment. Carson's guidance in getting a sliver of light between your mind's nay-sayer and your true self is insightful and practical. The freedom I experience by practicing his method of "just noticing" has enhanced relationship with self, family, friends, and ...

11 Things You Absolutely Need To Know About Selling Your Business9 reviews
John F. Dini and Carlos A. Zubillaga
Gardendale Press, 2005
The fine points
Even after reading it, I don't know how the authors provided such a comprehensive tutorial so concisely. This one will surprise you. It goes beyond the basics of valuing your business, seeking buyers, and negotiating, to include really sound advice on some of the less obvious strategies involved in a successful sale.

The Girl's Guide to Absolutely Everything25 reviews
Melissa Kirsch
Workman Publishing Company, 2006
excellent excellent gift for a young woman
I bought a copy of this as a gift for my cousin who just graduated from college, and she's found it tremendously useful. (I couldn't possibly figure out what her tastes are in terms of clothes or music, so this seemed like a good bet.) The Girl's Guide was right on the money: funny and practical and not at all treating young women like airheads--as the media sometimes does. I think my cousin even ...

You simply can't go wrong with this wacky zany summer send-up. Einstein P. Fleet, a loner-nerd trapped at a hellish summer camp in the Mojave Desert, leads us through a wild storyline of escape, with monster costumes, vampires, werewolves and aliens all in the mix.
This fast-paced, well-written farce is a quick, irreverent, hilarious read for kids and adult-kids. Highly recommended. It's no ...

Absolutely Fabulous!!
This book is a quick read and reread. The authour mixes up the presentation of the book. It is simple and basic, easy to understand and do. The author not only tells you why doing nothing works but tells you how to do it. Alot of books I have read leave that part out. The author doesn't speak down to you either. I bought another copy for a friend and am considering future purchases for ...

Blue Eyeshadow Should Absolutely Be Illegal5 reviews
Paula Begoun
Beginning Pr, 1991
Wish I'd found you years ago!
I have had a slight breakout (3 or 4 noticable eruptions) since my teens. I am now 40, so this was a long time to constantly look in the mirror and see zits. About 4 years ago I checked your Blue Eyeshadow book out of the library. In reading the chapter about breakouts I "pulled" advice from different areas and changed some of my daily routines. I started washing towels and sheets in ...

Lauren Child
Grosset & Dunlap, 2006
Fun Charlie & Lola activity book!
I bought this for my 4-1/2-year-old, and she loves it! It has the classic Charlie & Lola style, but with things to color and fill in. It has suggestions to try adding fabric and paper to create a picture like the ones in the Charlie & Lola books and shows. An excellent buy--this has generated a lot of creative play time in our house!

Deadly Deception the Proof That Sex And HIV Absolutely Do Not Cause AIDS5 reviews
Robert E. Willner
Peltec Publishing Company Inc, 1994
A Devastating Blow To The HIV-AIDS Hypothesis.
Peter Duesberg's book "Inventing The AIDS Virus" is a more detailed refutation of the HIV-AIDS theory. This book by Robert Willner, both an M.D. and Ph.D, basically blows the lid off the AIDS establishment in an easy to read book. Deadly Deception is VERY lay person oriented, and includes excellent advice on how to rebulid the immune system(because AIDS is NOT fatal). If you believe HIV causes ...

Asterix should be read by all kids and adults. The jokes in it will make you laugh and give you a good feeling all over. Asterix is about a group of Gauls trying to defend themselves against the Romans and all the misadventures they have. All the stories take place in the year 50 B.C. the time of Julius Caesar and his conquests. These Gauls are the only people who are able to defend themselves ...

Frame It!: Easy Framing Ideas & Techniques for Absolutely Anything6 reviews
Tonia Davenport
North Light Books, 2005
A comprehensive and creative guide!
I am a custom framer myself, and even I got ideas for frame designs! The book is an extremely comprehensive guide for standard framing techniques, but what I really love are the more creative, non-standard techniques Tonia shows as well. A must for the crafter who wants to display her artwork, but who wants to "do-it-herself".

Great Selection
This collection covers everything from lush fantasy tales, to clean sci-fi. I enjoyed all the stories, but especially liked the two by Daniel Conover. His clean style, wit, and sense of irony shine through in both stories.
