This is a wonderful book that takes shell collecting to a greater depth. As you show a shell collection, use this book to illustrate to the children what used to live in a particular type of shell.
Fortune: The Art of Covering Business
4 reviews
Gibbs Publishing
, 1999
Twenty years of covering business
Fortune magazine, for many years, had the luxury of using eye-catching graphics on its covers unrelated to the contents inside. This rather unusual arrangement was because most copies were on subscription to the folks who ran the nation's business and any newsstand sales were a bonus. The fact that it did not have to use its cover to compete with other magazines for sales allowed the various Art ...

Really neat
As a philosopher or philosophy student, it goes without saying that you need more than just one philosophical dictionary. Here's a good one. I use it to supplement my other dictionary, Simon Blackburn's "Oxford Dictionary of Philosophy" (ISBN 0192831348), which is also excellent. One dictionary may have more or different information on one term, or even have a term another may not list, and vice ...

Bicycle Rides in Los Angeles County
I have reviewed the 4th Edition of "Bicycle Rides in Los Angeles County," published June 2000, by Don and Sharron Brundidge. This guide has something for every type and level of bicyclist: family outings, sightseeing buffs, distance workouts, and elevation workouts. This edition is greatly expanded compared with the previous editions, with 21 added rides. Also several of the previous rides ...

"Good design is Forever"
Murray Douglas is a scholar of historical design. She is keenly aware of the importance of using contempory trends to compliment culturally historic design. The book becomes a resource not only of the history of Brunschwig & Fils and its textiles, trims and wall coverings, but of how well-known designers have integrated the Brunschwig line with their own flair and client's needs. She gives a ...

Worth every penny!
As a telecommunications student, I was leery of all the abbreviations and unfamiliar terms. This book was very helpful in explaining new words and phrases, especially since the telecommunications industry is full of strange acronyms. Very worthwhile!

A Trip to the Throne!
I first bought this book in 1968 (when I was YOUNG!). I came upon it up again last week and got reacquainted. What a treasure! HOW could I have neglected it all these years? This is truly a rich daily devotional. Each presentation has a day's worth of spiritual "meat" to chew on! Dry? - NEVER! It is interspersed with beautiful poetry, enhancing the text. You will not be disappointed.

Best catalog for this series
As a comprehensive catalog of the coins of the various Indian sultanates, this work not only supersedes the separate museum catalogs and other specialized works on Delhi, Gujarat, Bengal and so on, it also far surpasses the earlier "comprehensive" catalog by Dilip Rajgor. The end of the book includes a Rajgor conversion table in case your collection is catalogued using his numbers. Inscriptions ...

The best there is for what it is
If you are even considering buying a book called The Blue Tarp Bible, you are already the perfect audience for this. Besides its illustrated list of handy uses for the ubiquitous blue tarp (some of which are hilarious!), it's filled with interesting tales of how blue tarps have been used since their inception. It's a very funny little book, and I am going to share it with my neighbor out here ...

A fast way to learn FrameMaker
This book is one of the clearest-written books I've read to date dealing with FrameMaker 5. I use both the Mac and Windows versions of FrameMaker and find this to be a ready reference guide, far better than the manuals accompanying the software.

Highly recommended
This is the only topical Bible concordance I can find anywhere in modern English... and what a great help it is. It whets my appetite to look up subject after subject, verse after verse, and to see what the Bible says about almost anything under the sun. Every missionary, pastor, Sunday-school teacher, in fact every Christian, will find it a stimulus and an encouragement to discover what God has ...
