The Official Preppy Handbook: The Completely Outstanding Gift Edition

9 reviews

Workman Publishing Company, 1980

The Very Best
Two years ago I found this book is a small shop in Morro Bay, I read it and loved it. This is a Bible for me and I now realize that all my life I have been a prep. I found another copy at the same store this year and gave it to my sister. The book is timeless and absolutely hilarious. I recommend it to anyone who wants a great laugh and also to those who want to live the "preppy" lifestyle. ...

Can't You Get Along With Anyone?: A Writer's Memoir and a Tale of a Lost Surfer's Paradise

Allan Weisbecker

Bandito Books, 2007

Is that my reflection I see?
Last year around this time, Kurt Vonnegut died, and I found myself lamenting the loss of yet another of my authorial heroes. (Can you imagine the war stories Vonnegut, Heller and Mailer must be swapping at the post-mortem bar?). I asked myself where their particular brand of balls-to-the-wall insight and reverence for the absurdity of humankind had gone. Then I read CYGAWA. And I figured it ...

Taunton, 2002

Everything I Expected, and More!
I bought this book looking for a design I could use for a dining room table. What I found was not only a design that I loved, but clear step-by-step instructions, drawings, and great photographs. The section on table building basics which covers table size and clearance, wood movement, and torsion box construction was extremely informative.

Fascinating anecdotes
Guinea Pig Scientists contains nine chapters, each on a different scientist who made a difference by plaicng themself in harm's way to varying degrees. The book is hardly in depth, but it covers the most important aspects of each scientists methods and what was learned from them. This would be a great book to use to get adolescents interested in scientific inquiry. It is an engaging read, and ...

Side by Side Leadership: Achieving Outstanding Results Together

12 reviews
Dr. Dennis A. Romig

Performance Research Press, 2006

Experience speaks
Dennis Romig's consulting experience gives real and personal flavor to this research-based guide for leaders. His examples are interesting and the book is especially readable because he keeps his references to research findings brief and compelling. I was especially interested in his references to Bowen's work on patterns to be watched for in teams and organizations. Romig has written a great ...

Del J. Still

Management Development & Training, 2001

"You win by building an exceptional work force"
"Making the right hiring decision is more important today than ever before." Del J. Still writes, "I don't have to tell you about the impact of smarter competition and globalization of today's business on profits. I'm sure you've felt the pressure. If not, you will. Even the smallest company cannot afford to operate as they have in the past and expect to suceed in today's pressure-filled ...

Hopscotch Pr, 1994

A Bride's Best Friend!
This has been an invaluable book during my wedding planning. When I got engaged in December 99, a girlfriend suggested that I buy the SoCal edition immediately to start finding reception and ceremony locations. I did buy it, and whipped through the whole book one evening. Sitting there reading, I quickly dismissed reception site after site and determined that the book just couldn't help me. ...

Legends: Outstanding Quarter Horse Stallions and Mares

Diane Simmons

Western Horseman, 2002

Trace the ancestry of your horse
This book provided the ancestry of the horses that started the American Quarterhorse breed. It was fun to take my horses' lineage and be able to trace it all the way back to the original King Ranch horses. I found out why my horse has such hard feet, why she likes to run so much, and found that she is the spitting image of one of her ancestors. I could hear the stories of her great ...

Answered all my questions.
I found this book incredibly helpful. During the most trying time of my life, any questions I had in the middle of the night were answered by using this book. I think every woman who has been diagnosed with breast cancer and her family should own this book.

Davies-Black Publishing, 2001

Fills a Strong Need
In today's corporate world, efficiency, effectiveness, and profit are diminished by communications problems. As a Certified Management Consultant, I hear clients complain about "communications" so much, I've dubbed it the "C Word." What's the problem? People aren't real, open, honest, direct, and thorough in their conversations with each other. Hidden agendas, inability to say what you mean, ...

Sasquatch Books, 2001

I am smitten
I am not a cook, but after reviewing this book, i really want to be, not to mention that the recipes left me salivating. It may not be a book for the complete beginner but with some enthusiasm, the recipes in this book are very do-able. The side essays written by kathy casey are funny and informative and both authors clearly try to make the recipes understandable and do-able for the home kitchen. ...

Howard Who?: Twelve Outstanding Stories of Speculative Fiction

3 reviews
Howard Waldrop

Doubleday Books, 1986

Outstanding Stories? Definitely
The title does not lie. This is a collection of 12 outstanding stories. Each story is a tiny gem, a short 13-25 page story that makes a large impact. Waldrop's stories have to be read to be believed. He is able to turn the mundane into the spectacular. Take 'Man Mountain Gentian' about sumo wrestlers with telekinetic powers. Or 'Heirs of the Perisphere' about intelligent Disney robots that ...

Tales of Mystery and Suspense: Vol. 1: Radio's Outstanding Theater of Thrills

5 reviews
Paul Brennecke

GreaTapes, 2001

Some of the best of the series
Let me say right off the bat that this set is worth purchasing just for "Ghost Hunt". I know that "Sorry, Wrong Number" was considered the best show of the series, but GH was MUCH creepier. It's the kind of episode you'll want to enjoy best at home with all the lights off (but don't be surprised if you don't last the whole time that way). Some 50 years before "The Blair Witch Project", we're ...

This is an absolutely stunning book of photography featuring a wide range of models and styles.

Seagate Publishing, G. Dean Foster

Parkshore Publishing, 1995

The Special Taste of Florida
An outstanding cookbook, one I refer to often for casual dining and entertaining. Emphasis is on seafood, poultry and pasta. Most of the recipes are provided by the most highly regarded chefs from Florida's finest restuarants and resorts. If you love cooking (and great eating) you will love this book. I bought two in Williams-Sonoma since I knew my sister would "borrow" one. (About 80% of the ...

5 reviews
Jacqueline Davies

Houghton Mifflin, 2004

A survey of his pioneering observational techniques
John James Audubon loved nature and the outdoors as a child, and was determined to study birds in the wild rather than from books even as early as 1804. Jacqueline Davies' lively story of his youth and pioneering attitude will reach grades 3-6 with an excellent survey of his pioneering observational techniques. Drawings by Melissa Sweet provide lovely accompaniment to the story of the ...
