The Girls from Hangar B 4 reviews

The Girls from Hangar B
An outstanding read! I had a hard time putting the book down just to go to work. Ms Nail weaves the lives of the four roommates together in such a way that reader can truly get the feel of the difficulties and patriotism of the WWII era. I highly recommend this book.

Nail Structure and Product Chemistry7 reviews
Douglas Schoon
Milady, 2005
If you only have one nail textbook, this is the one you should own
Mr. Schoon has greatly expounded upon his first edition of this excellent text. Content has nearly doubled, and he has included not only standard topics such as nail anatomy, adhesives, and product chemistry (which are vital for any nail technician to understand), but he has also added chapters such as "The Safe Salon" and "The Healthy Salon," among others. This new text includes great color ...

Best Book I've Ever Read
Thanks to Doug Schoon for writing such a truly useful and insightful book. I thought it would be hard to read, but I read it in one day. I just couldn't stop. I've read it again several times since.

Darlene Mininni
St. Martin's Griffin, 2006
This book has changed my life!
This is the best self-help book I ever read. It helped me understand my feelings in a completely new way. When I'm in a bad mood, I know how to get rid of it quickly. It's amazing. Reading her book is like listening to an incredibly smart and helpful girlfriend. I saw Dr. Mininni speak last week, and was mesmerized. She's brilliant, but knows how to talk to everyday women, because she is one. I ...

Great reference for beginners
I bought this book halfway through doing a nail technician course and I found it fantastic. Great tips and hints, gives good advice and explains everything clearly.
My favourite parts were the trouble-shooting pages with explanations for common problems and how to solve them. There are also good sections on learning to be a trainer, nail art and entering competitions.
If you are a complete ...

Nails (Montana Mysteries Featuring Gabriel Du Pre)6 reviews
Peter Bowen
St. Martin's Minotaur, 2006
Dark as the world of man
I'm not sure where Peter Bowen got the title for his latest Gabriel Du Pre mystery, but it might be from a poem by Dame Edith Sitwell:
"Still falls the Rain---
Dark as the world of man, black as our loss---
Blind as the nineteen hundred and forty nails
Upon the Cross."
Of course there are more nails now. More like 2006 in this grim Evangelical-bashing novel. Bowen doesn't go after ...

More than I expected, everything I wanted
Having already built two homes myself I thought I k,new most of the pitfalls but Mr. Lane's book brought back many memories, most unpleasant. Besides going into wonderful detail without techical over load this book covers every subject. Most particularly is that you write down what is to occur at each part and have the sub-contractor sign the aggrement. Number one is "don't change anything agreed ...

The Wave Wranglers and the New Order of the Pyramid5 reviews
Eric Nail
Lulu.com, 2007
I hope this becomes a series
This is a fantastic book, and I highly recommend it. The story of Dippy and his surfer band is a tale of intrigue, fantasy, and truth woven with real insight into some scary ideas. My 9 year old son asked to read it and I recommended he wait a few years. In the meantime, teens and hip adults alike will enjoy what I hope is the first of many adventures.

Bradley D. Mittman
Frontrunners Publishing, 2005
Super Choice for Step 3
I initially heard of this book from the 2nd & 3rd year residents in our program. A lot of them used it for their Step 3 and were successful and loved it. I was skeptical at first because this exam was important to me for a number of reasons. In any case, my experience was much the same as theirs, and I did extremely well, as with my predecessors, but I wanted to provide greater detail that I know ...
