A child's garden of grass: (The official handbook for marijuana users), (A Contact book) 31 reviews
Jack S Margolis
Contact Books, 1969
LP may be even funnier than the book
The LP by the same title is also hard to find, but worth looking for as well. I noticed that laughdome.com currently carries the CD.

Fire-Breathing Liberal: How I Learned to Survive (and Thrive) in the Contact Sport of Congress15 reviews
Thomas Dunne Books, 2008
A Real Page Turner!
I've read a few political books in my time and a few biographies, but Fire Breathing Liberal was more fun to read than all of those. From the first chapter I found I had a hard time putting Wexler's book down. Page after page, it never dulled. I learned a lot from FBL, but perhaps the most important thing I got out of the book was that (despite never making headlines) our congress men and women ...

Endless Referrals: Network Your Everyday Contacts into Sales70 reviews
Bob Burg
Mcgraw-Hill, 1993
Up to date book and very relevant
With today's marketing ideas changing considerably I found this book a refreshing new approach to a difficult situation of getting referrals. I have already put their ideas into play and find they work very well. Well worth the read.

The Planiverse: Computer Contact with a Two Dimensional World (Picador Books)12 reviews
A.K. Dewdney
Macmillan, 1984
One of the greatest books of all-time.
One of the greatest books of all-time. I don't want to over-sell it, so judge for yourselves. (heh) Seriously, this is probably the most complete fictional universe ever created. It reads like a dream and when it first came out (and I was a kid) I often wondered whether the events in the book had REALLY happened. It is that well constructed. Before it originally went out of print I bought ...

The Real-Time Contact Center: Strategies, Tactics, and Technologies for Building a Profitable Service and ...14 reviews
AMACOM, 2005
Everything You Wanted to Know About Contact Centers and Were Afraid to Ask
When someone sent me a copy of this book a year ago, I thought it was going to be light reading for a technologist's coffee table. Then I started to read it. This book truly runs the gamut of all the issues that customer service contact centers face today. The book provides a great introduction to contact centers, their technology and both the business and people issues that contact centers ...

Business Is a Contact Sport31 reviews
Tom Richardson, Gus Vidaurreta, ...
Alpha, 2001
Not just for the top execs
I guess I'm one of the fortunate ones. I had the opportunity to work with Tom and Gus for a few years back when they first birthed Systems Consulting Group. I spent quite a bit of time with Gus and noticed from day one that he had an uncanny way with people. So I paid close attention and began to soak up all I could. I'm not wired like Gus is motivationally, nor am I gifted with his charismatic ...

First Contact (Star Trek)15 reviews
J.M. Dillard
Star Trek, 1997
Excellent Star Trek Book
Star Trek First Contact by J.M. Dillard was an excellent book. it showed emotion, fear, dispair, and anger. IT was a well written book considering it was made after the movie. I encourage all Star Trek fans to read this book and watch the movie.

Pamela Clare
Berkley, 2008
One of the Best in it's Genre
Although all of her I- Team books have been great, this one is absolutely the best. Clare did a great job of bringing back characters from the first two books while hooking the reader completely into this new storyline. I couldn't put the book down!

Stephen Collins

Stands the test of time
This novel really does stand the test of time. I read this book many years ago and it still sets well in my memory to this day. It has just about everything in it that one can imagine. Reading this novel is quick and doesn't drag on and on like some novels that I've completed. The long of the short of it, "If this book stands out in my mind today, even though it has been many years since I've ...

Close Encounter of the Fifth Kind
Is it really? The Fifth Kind is supposed to denote communication with an alien. The Barbie doll who plays the lead in this screenplay waiting to happen is not actually an alien being. She is a human from another planet, and she does one helluva job at communicating! Remember the wonderful magic you felt the first time you saw Spielberg's Close Encounters? Literary author Al Past makes us feel ...

The Program for Better Vision: How to See Better in Minutes a Day Without Glasses or Contacts!11 reviews
Martin Sussman
North Atlantic Books, 1998
Vision improves more than 25%
When I started this program, my perscription was -4.75 in each eye with enough astigmatism that I had to wear glasses to correct it. Now, three months later, I wear contacts at -3.50 and no correction for astigmatism and am seeing 20/20. I have hope that someday I might not need lenses at all.

Ronald Wright
Mariner Books, 1993
Very accurate history
I can't speak for the history of all the five nations, but my wife is Cherokee. Her family predates the arrival of the white race. She has a big thick book documenting the family genealogy compiled by her father, a true researcher. The words of Dragging Canoe, a realitive, are comprehensive and exact. Some quotes are new to the family, so Mr. Wright really did his research. Mr. Wright painted an ...

Ansel Adams
Grand Central Publishing, 1968
content excellent, one little remark for the publisher.
The book is excellent. Although these techniques are not widely applied today, with appropriate experience and thinking this knowledge can be applied and transferred to modern software like Adobe Photoshop. It can help relate modern and classic photography printing processes (traditional vs computerized).
One little remark would be for the publisher. The paper the book is printed is gloss with ...

As a senior exec in R&D I have often been frustrated with the lack of discipline in every support services division I have worked with. Mr. Schulz has provided the foundation, best-practices and execution triggers for support services in one book. I highly recommend this book and have procured additional copies for our international sites. The support-services playing field has hereby been ...

Dark Enough to See the Stars in a Jamestown Sky10 reviews
Connie Lapallo
Llumina Press, 2006
Great historical read!
Connie Lapallo's book is a wonderful read. Not many people outside of Virginia are familiar with the Jamestown story much less the details of what the women and children went through. The story is woven through the eyes of Connie Lapallo's ancestor who survived the starving time. For anyone interested in geneology or Jamestown history this is a must read!

Michael Anka
Protea Publishing Company, 2001
PASSIONATE AND THRILLING ENCOUNTER
I felt reluctant about buying this book by an unknown author but the cover image won me over. I found it later, very true to the book, which, once started, I had to read it to the finish, had to see what the next unexpected turn would be. The passionate voice and action of the story, so unorthodox, yet so smoothly meshed made me feel humble and excited. The hidden message of this exciting book ...

Tom Joseph
Fire Ant Books, 2008
Wonderful historical vision!
Knowing the author, it took a bit to separate out my lifelong relationship with him to focus on the story, but once I did, I was hooked! There are wonderful detailed passages with unexpected endings which kept me coming back to see what happened next. If you have an interest in Native American history, and love of Florida, this book is definitely for you.

Well written and well worth it!
Even though I wasn't sold on using MS BCM, my IT department didn't provide my choice. After reading through a list of books, I settled on this one. It is my first one with these authors and I cannot recommend it enough.
It was well written and comes more from the business perspective, which makes it a real value for me. My IT folks could never have explained to our department as clearly as ...
