Girls' Book of Friendship: Cool Quotes, True Stories, Secrets and More 24 reviews

Topeka Bindery, 2003
Bringing Joy after Surgery
I was recently in the hospital for open-heart surgery. My dear friend gave me the book of friendship. It meant so much to me for two reasons. One is that it is full of such wonderful quotes and shoret stories, and gave me some great memories and cemented my friendhip with the girl who gave it to me, and secondly, due to the brevity of the quotes and stories it was easy for me to pick up and read ...

Creating Cool HTML 4 Web Pages46 reviews
Dave Taylor
John Wiley & Sons Inc (Computers), 1998
Best HTML Book Around!
I graduated from the University of Redlands (California) with a Bachelor of Science in Information Systems degree a few years ago. Many of the textbooks I used were not very enlightening - I suffered through using them and immediately took them back to the bookstore for resale. This wasn't so with the CREATING COOL HTML 4 book. I use this as a reference book now.
One of the classes I took ...

In the Service of Dragon = addiction
Just a warning here, these books are like potato chips, it's very difficult to eat only one!!! ...and then you'll find yourself walking around singing Eldrick's song of the tree brothers or longing to reread the part where Vilmos plays Edward in King's Mate or wanting to jump ahead to get to the next trio match.
I bought this book around Christmastime and found the story to be fascinating. As ...

RP Books, 2005
Why kids AND adults should read Magic Lands
Remember those times as a kid when you picked up a book and got lost in it? Well, this is such a book. I read Journey Beyond the Beyond a few years back and I was immediately drawn in to this truly magical story. This is a thrilling, edge-of-the seat read, even for an adult like me. You'll be swept away in an amazing world and desperately desire to become part of this magical universe.

The Kingdoms and the Elves of the Reaches IV
ISBN: 15754550658
Magical ---- Literally!
I became intrigued by the phenomena of Ruin Mist awhile back, and this review is a long time readers perspective. In many respects, I'm probably the last person who would enjoy this book. I'm a cynic by nature, and my reading habits lean more toward more mature series and more literary works. Or at least ...

Thinkertoys: A Handbook of Creative-Thinking Techniques (2nd Edition)64 reviews

Ten Speed Press, 2006
An Essential Guide for Creative Thinking
This book, together with my treasured Roger von Oech books, sit prominently on my bookshelf when working on a variety of problems - software development, film production, creative writing for scripts or novels, and developing opportunities in this mediacentric age. These books break open your mind from the restrictive fences imposed on our thinking by the conventional world that we are ...

Serenity Official Visual Companion57 reviews

Titan Books, 2005
Finding Serenity
As a big fan of Firefly and Serenity this book made the sting of not having anymore new episodes to watch a bit less.
Beautiful drawings, photos, and plenty of behind the scenes information on the characters and settings made this a treasure.
Every Browncoat needs one!

Fantastic sequel
This is a fantastic follow up to Keeper Martin's Tale - a true joy to read full of mystery and intrigue and action and adventure. Like many readers, I found this to be even better than the first one. The series continues to be entertaining and interesting and has become one of my favorite ongoing fantasy series.
What makes it different from other fantasy series is that fantasy world is as ...

Allen & Mike's Really Cool Telemark Tips14 reviews
Allen O'Bannon
Falcon, 1998
Incomparable -- an easy resource book
This is the classic comic book version of a telemark skiing text book: brief, clear narrative accompanying excellent cartoon drawings. The book shows both old style (knee down) and new style (no deep dips, feet never widely separated front to back) telemark techniques without really distinguishing between the two but, if you follow the exercises and advice, your skiing will improve. An ...

A favorite book
When my daughter was two years old, she requested (okay, insisted!) that my husband or I read this book to her every night. She absolutely adored the wonderful rhymes and the fantastic illustrations. Now that she's nine, I've suggested that we pass the book on to younger cousins--but she refuses to entertain such a thought. The book has become an old friend to her, and she feels comfortable ...

A Cool Billion16 reviews
Michael C. Perkins, Celia Nunez
iUniverse, 2000
Great Silicon Valley Billion $ Ride
I loved this book! It's fast paced, and hard to put down. Perkins and Nunez hand us believable characters in an unbelievable environment: Silicon Valley. But believe it. These authors have a real insider's understanding of the absurdity and deadly seriousness which coexist so peculiarly in Silicon Valley. The story springs as much from its high tech environment as it does from the ...

Rachel Weingarten's bio is impressive. It is obvious she knows what she is talking about when it comes to looking and dressing the part in a career. As a previous workshop instructor of creating a successful outside appearance, I was very interested in reading Rachel's book to see if there have been any changes in the years since I taught ...

"Cool Stuff" They Should Teach in School: Cruise into the Real World...with styyyle (jobs/people ...22 reviews
Kent D. Healy, Kyle Healy
Cool Stuff Media, 2004
Definitely worth exploring by students & freshmen...to help face a multitude of real-world challenges
From the standpoint of intent, scope & substance, this wonderful book is exactly similar to 'The Power of Focus for College Students' by Andrew Hewitt & Luc D'Adabie. I have reviewed this latter book earlier.
The 'Cool Stuff' book is apparently targetted at high school students (& graduates). The 'Power of Focus' book is targetted at high school graduates & college students, even though the ...

A Tale of Two Storytellers . . .
So here I am wondering what to read to my jaded fifth graders. They don't go in for the ultra serious, they yawn through the books beloved of second and third graders. They groan when I mention poetry or nonfiction. And then this book falls into my lap. One read through and I'm hooked--and so is my fifth grade audience! Kevin O'Malley has brilliantly joined artistic forces with Carol Heyer ...

One Time : The Story of a South Central Los Angeles Police Officer15 reviews
Brian S. Bentley
Cool Jack Publishing, 1997
Exciting and Hardcore
One Time is a hardcore and realistic look at the police. The author's writing style kept me interested and I am not a big reader. Since reading the book, I now look at police officers differently.
