Betty Crocker's Cooky Book 134 reviews
Betty Crocker Editors, Eric Mulvany
Betty Crocker, 2002
Finally I have my own copy!
I love this cook book. We grew up with all these cookies. My mom has an original Betty Crocker Cooky Book that she still uses. She copied a few of my childhood favorites for me but it's not the same as having your own copy. This has so many great recipes. They are not lowfat or healthy so if that is what you are looking for, keep looking. A few of the recipies call for shorting which I never use, ...

The Book of Basketball: The NBA According to The Sports Guy113 reviews
Bill Simmons
ESPN, 2009
Great Book! A must have for any die-hard basketball fan
Bill Simmons provides witty commentary to accompany in-depth research and statistics to create a book that paints a great description of basketball since its birth. The book shows you that stats aren't everything and tells you why some players just matter more than others. A great read.

For Dummies, 2009
IPhone review
This book is extremely helpful. Certainly more helpful than what comes with the IPhone. I was not happy with that at all. This was worth the money. I've learned more about the IPhone and I've already had it a year.

Del Rey, 1999
Fantastic Fantasy
Being a fan of horror, I never sought out or thought of the fantasy genre. Although I have read and enjoyed many of the Lord of the Rings series, fantasy is not something I gravitate towards. This story actually had excellent character development, exciting battles, and a captivating plot. Enough so, that I read it completely through in one sitting. The relationships between ogre, goblins, ...

I Can Breathe A Sigh of Relief
I put off buying this book for quite some time. I knew there was so much free information on the internet, I thought I could just read that information to make an informed decision about my children's vaccinations. The more I read in the internet, the more confused I became. It got harder and harder to understand and make the choice for my children.
I ordered the book and wish I had done it ...

W. W. Norton & Company, 2009
How can one rate a dream or sense of a dream?
I had heard about this book since my first psych classes in my first year in college in 1968! Although not spoken about at all, I was lucky to have a radical psychology instructor who did his dissertation on Jung and was still alive and alert and crazy enough to take us places that, well, at least I, we would remember the rest of our lives. So,"The Red Book" was something we could, at that time, ...

Everything you'll need to get back in shape.
This book is a GREAT value compared to a personal trainer. It has numerous variations of the same moves with increasing difficulty to keep your exercises new and challenging. It has several workouts outlined to get you where you want to be. The nutrition info is far from what I've heard for years: ranging from full fat cheese to red meat. The book does a great job explaining the theory and ...
