Robert A. Irwin

Expro Press, 1989

This is an organizing tool, not just book.
You can read it on your own and learn a great deal, or you can use it as a guide to other readings. Even better, you can use it as a self-guided course for adults through your community center, religious community, school, or citizen's action group. Here are a sample of blurbs from the back cover: Robert Irwin's book lays out the choices before us clearly and accurately... If it stimulates ...

Robert Irwin, David L. Ganz

Wiley, 1997

Answers questions most don't
This is an excellent book for anyone interested in buying real estate. It tells all the legal details and your rights that most books do not. It tells you how to back out of a deal, how to deal with encroachments and so forth. A definite need for anyone buying, selling or just interested.

Robert Irwin Richardson

R.I. Richardson, 2000

Small but powerful book
This small, easy-to-read book is a powerful tool for understanding the context of each state's admission to the Union. Although each state is dealt with briefly, he covers a lot of ground in the words he chooses. As a teacher/home educator, I appreciate the running tally of north vs. south states and the progressive maps. These help to simplify things even further for an overview of this history. ...

A Book for Readers of History
I bought this book, on some fair measure, due to the review written by Mr. Passos on Amazon's web site.I had heard the name Harry Hopkins for many years, and had the somewhat vague knowedge that Harry Hopkins was an intimate advisor and assistant to Franklin Roosevelt. I was curious when I saw the book at Amazon, and I bought it. This is an outstanding book, and it easy for me to see why it ...

Robert Irwin, David L. Ganz

MJF Books, 1996

Excellent book!
Although it can't nor should substitute for a competent RE lawyer, this does answer FAQs about RE transactions. It delivers what it promised to do, namely, answer FAQs about various aspects of the process. Initially, I hesitated about investing my time reading it but since it was co-authored by Mr. Irwin, whose many books I have read and liked, I quicky found it worthwhile. Here's my tip on ...

Right now you are using the internet to research a potential book purchase. Is it unrealistic to think that right now someone else is using the internet to research a potential house purchase? Not at all! In fact, with the help of this book, I discovered the very effective world of internet home buying. Robert Irwin's book is very comprehensive and well written. I used many of the ...

McGraw-Hill, 2005

Read Before You Make Offer
I read the new edition of Irwin's TIPS & TRAPS WHEN NEGOTIATING REAL ESTATE just before making an offer on a condo. I figure the book's ideas saved us at least $8,000 off the price. I'd recommend it to every buyer to read BEFORE you make your offer.

The Arabian Nights: A Companion

Robert Irwin

Tauris Parke Paperbacks, 2004

Good companion
As someone who loved the "Arabian Nights" since childhood, I eagerly read this book as well. For the most part, I wasn't disapointed. It does a wonderful job of setting the scene, discussing its origins, its distortions, and showing how the stories relate to medieval Arabian life. I was particularly impressed with the section discussing the connections between various story collections in ...

Satan Wants Me

Robert Irwin

Bloomsbury Pub Ltd, 2000

the comical side of the occult
This is a classic read - original, funny, shocking and somewhat frightening in places. Un-put-down-able, a tale of a student in swinging 60's London whose chosen subject for his university dissertation is devil worship and the occult. He joins a secret society in the heart of London and details his experiences and training in the underworld. Somewhat comical at first and laced with sex and drugs; ...

It's Gggrreat!!
This is a must have for a home buyer. especially a first timer like myself. Irwin's book covered many scenerios I experienced in my home buying process. It totally streamlined the process and eased many of my fears. It is tough buying a home especially if you're single. There was no one available to me to ask questions of. I would hate to think what would have happened if I hadn't read it. And ...

Dedalus,, 1997

Better than the mis-translations of Keene Wallace
It's unfortunate that the 1924 Keene Wallace translation is still so popular. Here is an example of why this new translation by Brendan King is better: Keene Wallis: "Asphalt from the street, leaves of henbane, datura, dried nightshade, and myrrh. These are perfumes delightful to Satan, our master." Brendan King: "Rue, leaves of henbane and thorn-apple, dried nightshade and myrtle, all ...

Robert Irwin

Kaplan Publishing, 2007

Save yourself $$$ and time
Irwin is THE expert in this area, and this book is incredibly helpful if you are selling your home. By page 7 he had saved me at least $2,000 with his concept of "visual value." Use this book as a guide as you decide what to fix up, what to leave as is, and where to focus your precious time, money and energy. I would also recommend the author's book on how to negotiate real estate transactions ...

Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego, 2008

Wonderful book with a wonderful DVD!
I was fortunate enough to see this exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art in San Diego. This book is the next best thing to being there. Robert Irwin is a national treasure, and this book is a wonderful glimpse into his work. The DVD (inset into the back cover of the book) is worth the cost alone. Although not long, it is an absolute joy to hear Robert Irwin speak about his work. He has a ...
