The best horse book!
I am very new in horses. Living in a small city my whole life, I never had the opportunity to own a horse, or even be around them much. But I have always loved them, and know that someday I will have one when I live in an appropriate area. So I want to take my time from now until then to do as much research as I can on horses so I am prepared. Going to book stores, I do not have much luck ...

Excellent guide for intermediate and beginner level
I have been playing golf for 2 months (took lessons,pored over videos on internet,read many books including Hogan's,Hank Haney's,Leadbetter's, read golf magazines such as Golf Digest and Golf Tips) and I would say this book is one I take to the practice range. At the end of each practice session,I write down a list of what went right and what went wrong. I then flip through the section that ...

World War II Day by Day

DK ADULT, 2001

More interesting than fiction
This is one of the most engaging and brilliant books I've ever read...and all of it true. I used to read a few pages of this book before I went to bed, aglow with the comprehensive level of research and quality level of writing. From the disaster of Dunkirk to the siege of Leningrad, from the pivotal Battle of the Coral Sea to the systematic genocide of the Jews and other peoples, this book ...

Take a Nostalgic Drive through Time...
So much has happened since the first Benz shuddered to life. We have become almost completely dependant on these machines and we often have an emotional connection with cars that no other mechanical invention has ever inspired. Except when we are sitting in gridlock, even I have wondered when the heck we are going to get some cars that really fly. Now, then you are talking freedom! The 1959 ...

Great Car

DK ADULT, 2001

Great Car Book
Great Car has 1 or 2 two-page spreads on each car. There are good photos of front, side, back, and something else of interest, such as engine, depending on the car. Minor irritation: pictures split across the fold. Book is sewn, so you can open it fairly flat without having the pages pop out, but it's still a little annoying. Each car has a smattering of history, a smattering of performance, and ...

A must have for cinema nuts!
WOW! This book, or shall I say encyclopedia, is amazing! As the title states, it covers 1894 to the 2001 Oscars. It includes original posters and stills for more movies than you thought existed. I really enjoyed looking at the original posters for all the different styles and seeing how they've changed over the years. Highlights from each year are included as well as Oscar winners (when ...

A great book for all aviation enthusiasts!!
I recently purchased this book and I love it. I am a huge plane fanatic and enjoy many books, flight sims, websites, etc. on planes. I can say that out of all my books this is by far my favorite. It has planes, airports, important dates, crashes, almost anything that has to do with aviation. It is very comprehensive. It is literally a dictionary of events that occured in avation history. It ...

Pretty Pictures flawed copy
I don't believe I've every read a car book with so much innacurate information as this one. While this book covers European and American cars it is from the typical Brit point of view, glowing reviews of every discontinued marque the UK has ever produced while mostly ridicule and harsh criticism of many of the American makes. It is obvious Willson has an ax to grind which colors his copy ...

DK ADULT, 2000

Good reference/overview on wines, wineries and varietals.
This is an excellent reference book for either someone starting to enjoy wine or the more experienced wine drinker. It contains very good food / wine recommendations, wine ratings, winery ratings, wine definitions, and an overview of the wine growing regions of the world. Very comprehensive for a small book you can carry with you. It is well worth the money!

Encyclopedia of the Dog
I love this book. I knew what it was before buying it, as had borrowed it for a while before buying. If you love to look at the various breeds of dogs, or need some background on a variety of dog breeds, you will enjoy this. Tons of information on each breed, great photos, and a historical section that is fascinating. Also a good dog anatomy section.

Guitar

Buy it to learn guitar
An impressive book. It explains in easily understandable terms the range of what a guitar can do. Both theory musicians and players-by-ear can gain from this book. The artist selection mentioned in other reviews has some rather startling omissions. Leo Fender, while not a player in the traditional sense, merited a one-sentence blurb. Les Paul, the man without whom rock would have been very ...

Chronicle of Aviation

DK ADULT, 1995

Comprehensive encyclopedia of all things aviation!
I'm a pilot and was looking for the biggest and most comprehensive history of aviation. I found it in this book! This is the essential aviation book and reference/research tool! Place it on your coffee table -- it will never get put back down! Hardcover, high quality images and articles. Each page looks like a newspaper. It is a tad biased toward Europe, but US aircraft, ever the ...
