The Ashley Book of Knots72 reviews
Clifford W. Ashley
McGraw-Hill Companies, 1990
Darn fine book
This book is everything I hoped for! I previously purchased Graumont & Hensel's Encyclopedia of Knots, but as I did more research kept hearing about Ashley. I finally got it and it does have material about most every knot known. I would recommend it as an anchor for anyone who does fancy work, research, or uses rope on a daily basis. There are other web sites and books that have better ...

Practice Makes Perfect: Spanish Verb Tenses125 reviews
Dorothy Richmond
McGraw-Hill, 1996
The perfect guide to accompany your Spanish studies
I would recommend this book along with Practice Makes Perfect: Spanish Pronouns and Prepositions for any level learner of Spanish, but I'd advise you to have a little bit previous knowledge. It's really cheap, explains every important concept in a very simple way and includes lots of exercises to practice. I've been using this book since the summer after I finished my first year of Elementary ...

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.

Wooden74 reviews
John Wooden
McGraw-Hill, 1997
Wooden
I bought this book for my student/athlete son. I had him read the book and find five things that he could immediately apply to his life. The book is written in such a manner that the parallels between sports and life are seamlessly interwoven. By using sports as a platform of relativity, I feel I am raising my son to be a confident and responsible man. This is a must-read for fathers and sons.

Christy108 reviews
Catherine Marshall
McGraw-Hill Book Comapny Inc., 1967
Loved it!
This is one of those classic novels that you could read again and again. I hadn't read it since high school twenty years ago and just re-read Christy last week. I like it even better now than I did then (and I loved it then, too). I would have loved to have had Catherine Marshall's version of a sequel (hopefully it would have consisted of a continuation of Neil & Christy's romance), but I ...

James A. Randel
McGraw-Hill, 2005
A MUST READ for all real estate investors!!
Jim Randel shares his 30+ years of real estate experience in this outstanding book. You might not know that he leased Bed, Bath and Beyond space in one of his buildings and they tried to hire him to expand nationwide. He turned down the job. Also, he leased Martha Stewart her first store in the 1980s in Westport, CT. He has closed more than 5,000 transactions as an attorney and is one of the ...

McGraw-Hill, 1998
As a Physical Therapist, I highly recommend this book.
I am a physical therapist who also enjoys (???) running. This past Fall, I finished my 2nd marathon in Appleton, WI. My first was Grandma's in Duluth, MN in 2002 (before children). This second marathon I used the same program but had to add the walk to run progarm in also as I had a one year old and a two year old at home now! I was not quite in the same shape I had been for the previous ...

Great tool to educate and increase your pocket book.
Excellent book. Have read two other sales books and this is my favorite. Gives information beyond the basics and doesnt rely on just saying motivational statments, gives real world advice. If you read and implement the ideas you are guarenteed to be more productive. 1st choice.

Divided Soul: The Life of Marvin Gaye49 reviews
David Ritz
McGraw-Hill, 1985
I couldn't put it down
I have to admit I was fascinated by this book soon after I picked it up. Everyone knows Marvin Gaye's often hypersexed music, but it's intriguing to hear the story behind all of that music. His internal struggles and unstable life are chronicled in surprising detail.
A serious downfall of many music biographies is their inability to adequately tie the events of the subject's life with the ...

Duncton Wood58 reviews
William Horwood
Mcgraw-Hill, 1980
Terrific
I find it difficult to reread a book, but I have read Duncton Wood three times and am beginning to reread the rest in the series. I had to order the books from Amazon UK a few years back, but I think now they might be out of print. Do what you can to find every book in the series. You won't be disappointed. I don't know what you can say to convince people to read these books, but they are worth ...

The Healthy PC: Preventive Care and Home Remedies for Your Computer38 reviews
Carey Holzman
McGraw-Hill Osborne Media, 2003
As clear as every computer book should be
When you work or deal with young people, talking about computers is a big challenge and most of the times you feel like a "dummie or an idiot". This forces you to run to Barnes & Noble or the local Library to end up more confused and frustrated not knowing which book to pick. "The Healthy PC" is not as tedious as other computer books, on the contrary once you start reading you will not stop, and ...

A New Reference Grammar of Modern Spanish39 reviews
John Butt, Carmen Benjamin
McGraw-Hill, 2004
Quantity and quality
Here is a standout presentation of the ins and outs of contemporary Spanish. Examples of idiomatic usage are generously supplied, but fine points do not get in the way of the basics. Altogether an exemplary text--well-orgnized, lucid, and thorough.

The No-Cry Sleep Solution for Toddlers and Preschoolers51 reviews

From breastfeeding 10 times a night - to sweet sleep!
I can remember not that long ago sitting in my daughter's room in the middle of the night thinking I must be the only mum in the world whose baby didn't sleep. I was lucky to get three hours sleep on any given night, and never three hours in a row. But thanks to Elizabeth Pantley and her book "the no-cry sleep solution for toddlers and preschoolers" my little girl Milla has gone from a baby who ...

Hacking Linux Exposed, Second Edition41 reviews
Brian Hatch, James Lee
McGraw-Hill Osborne Media, 2002
The best hands-on Linux security book just got better
I'm a big fan of the Hacking Exposed style of writing. All offensive theory is backed up by command line examples, followed by defensive countermeasures. Hacking Exposed: Linux, 2nd Ed (HE:L2E) follows this tradition, updating the content of the first edition and adding 200 pages of new content. Although I reviewed the first edition in Sep 01, reading the second edition reminded me of the ...
