German: How to Speak and Write It (Beginners' Guides)23 reviews
Joseph Rosenberg
Dover Publications, 1967
An Excellent Book!!
The Dover books are some of the best to use when learning a new language. I bought the French version of this book a few years ago when brushing up on my high school French. So when the time came that I had finally decided to start learning the German language, this was the first book that I bought. I like the fact that this book is good for both beginners and intermediate learners. The book is a ...

NightWatch: A Practical Guide to Viewing the Universe87 reviews
Firefly Books, 2006
The Easiest Way to Get Started
I bought this book some years ago, to see if I wanted to try amateur astronomy again. I had been given a department store telescope as a kid, and was discouraged by the fact that you really couldn't observe anything other than the moon with it. This book gave me the confidence to go out and buy a reasonably expensive telescope, and get it up and running with almost no assistance from anyone ...

A Must Buy for any Strat Owner
This is an excellent, easy to understand book that will enable even a beginner to customize their guitar to any level, including true vintage tone through full hot rod modifications. If you own a strat(or clone) it would be foolish to not know how to maximize your investment. This is how.

Beginner's Guide to Braiding: The craft of Kumihimo (Beginner's Guide to)20 reviews
Jacqui Carey
Search Press, 1997
excellent how-to book
The author makes this very easy. Granted this is a beginners book but you can still make a 'pretty' on your first effort. Her dimensions for a wooden marudai (stand) were so accurate that my husband made me one from scrap hardwood in his shop. Like most arts/crafts,you can go forward from this point and get into really complicated braids, or not....the choice is up to you. There are many ...

Will get the next edition in addition to the copy I have
I got this book a couple of years ago and now am chess club presendent at my school chess club in 7th grade. I loaned it out so many times it is getting worn out.
When I went to get a copy now I found out it is temporarily not in print because it is going to be made a new edition. I plan to get the new edition for the chess club.
What I liked about this book is that it isn't a silly little ...

Humorous, inspiring, gripping, fun - but with an underlying message: Save Tibet!
A Beginner's Guide to Changing the World is an amazing book.

Practical, Hands-On Guide for Novice--or Seasoned--Entrepreneurs
Gold goes far beyond the typical "here's the difference between a C Corporation and an LLC" to explain not only the nuts-and-bolts of finding business partners, forming a company, marketing your products/services, and writing a business plan, but also--and perhaps even more importantly--how to *think about* being an entrepreneur and how to make the critical decisions that can make or break any ...

I have been using a computer for many years and still did not understand all the task/programs I could have been using. This book has been extremely helpful working as a primer explaining everything very clearly and is still up to date with the Windows Vista. I would highly recommend this book.

Essential Etiquette Fundamentals, Vol. 2: Wine Selection & Etiquette13 reviews
Mike Lininger
Yellowstone Publishing, 2007
Excellent Resource For Novice Wine Drinkers
Although drinking good wine isn't difficult, learning about wine can be. Once on a winery tour a vintner explained that there are 15,000 different choices that can be made from grape to bottle. Sometimes picking out a wine can seem daunting. Food Scholar's Wine Selection & Etiquette does a superior job of teaching those of us who would like to learn more without the information being overkill.

Yoga for Beginners: The Eye-level and Hands-free Guide to the Art of Yoga19 reviews
Liz Lark, Mark Ansari
Newleaf, 1999
Very helpful and easy to follow instructions.
I looked at several books before purchasing this one. I was immediately impressed with the spiral binding which allows the book to be open next to you while you are learning the pose. The pictures are large and show multiple steps to reaching the pose. I also liked the "Take Care" instructions. I highly recommend this introduction to Yoga.

Excellent for beginners!
I was given this book by a friend. I found it to be the most helpful of all books in my library when it came to introducing initiates to Wicca. I have made this book a preliminary requirement before I begin teaching anything because of it's easy reading style and brief tactfulness. It covers many of the basics of the craft and is excellent for beginners. I wish I had come across it sooner in ...

St. Martin's Griffin, 2008
If you everything or if you know nothing of sewing..
Buy this book with confidence if you are just starting out in sewing or an experienced seamstress. Good overview of tools, terms and all other sewing related items, especially if you did not grow up with a sewer in the house. If you already know how to sew, it is still a good reference book to have your sewing library. Beginners with absolutely no sewing experience will not need more than just ...
