Catherine Marshall
McGraw-Hill, 1967
A true classic
This is a wonderful book about a woman's journey of faith, which leads her to a deeper relationship with God, a higher level of maturity, and true love. A real page-turner; however, due to some mature subject matter, I wouldn't recommend this book for young girls.

Practice Makes Perfect: Spanish Pronouns And Prepositions80 reviews
Dorothy Richmond
McGraw-Hill, 1998
5 Star Review by James
This is James from James Spanish (the learning Spanish blog). This book is one in the highly praised Practice Makes Perfect series. Written by Dorothy Richmond, the author of many other great Spanish language books, the writing is light hearted and engaging despite the dry subject matter.
Finding ways to make studying pronouns and prepositions more fun is a challenge, but one that the author ...

Endless Referrals, Third Edition80 reviews
Bob Burg
McGraw-Hill, 2005
Well worth the investment
I bought this book after reading "The Go-Giver" (which Burg co-authored) and being amazed by his insight and incredibly successful sales approach ideas. I was not disappointed. The author wastes no time in getting down to business. It starts out with information you can use immediately. The book covers in depth the referral process of sales and offers much more. It not only provides insight into ...

Confessions of a Real Estate Entrepreneur: What It Takes to Win in High-Stakes Commercial Real Estate69 reviews
James A. Randel
McGraw-Hill, 2005
Create returns worthy of an entrepreneur.
Here is a commercial real estate investment book that doesn't require a degree in finance to keep up with. At the same time it is not too simplistic for experienced investors. I found this a little surprising, considering Randel is a real estate attorney. It doesn't take long to understand what he means by real estate entrepreneur vs. investor. The entrepreneur gets creative and is willing ...

The Non-Runner's Marathon Trainer202 reviews
David Whitsett, Forrest Dolgener, ...
McGraw-Hill, 1998
One word: PERFECT.
I'm a beginner runner. I've done a couple half-marathons but I was really slow and I walked a lot and I didn't know the first thing about how to train. I've read a ton of different "training manuals" before I bought this book last month. This one is by far the easiest to read, understand and follow. I'm telling you, if you have never run a marathon and would like to hear someone tell you ...

Practice Makes Perfect: Spanish Verb Tenses145 reviews
Dorothy Richmond
McGraw-Hill, 1996
Great for "old school" visual learners
I studied spanish waaaay back in middle & high school but have forgotten practically everything except the basics, i.e. present tense conjugation of a few regular -ar, -er, -ir verbs. These days, so many people approach me speaking Spanish, it's a shame not to be able to reply. This book is a great resource for me. I attend a Spanish conversation club but I have a "terrible" ear. I'm a visual ...

A New Reference Grammar of Modern Spanish51 reviews
John Butt, Carmen Benjamin
McGraw-Hill, 2004
Best reference book ever!
Way back in my high school AP Spanish class my professor exhibited a strange fascination, almost obsession with this book. We referred to it constantly as even she came across grammatical nuances that we decided to explore together as a class. I purchased the book and absolutely love it. One of the best features is the extensive index. You are pretty much guaranteed to find what you're ...

Mr. Willowby's Christmas tree53 reviews
Robert E Barry
McGraw-Hill, 1963
A wonderful classic
Reading this book each Christmas has become a tradition for our family and everyone we have given it to. I have been reading this story to my children for 8 years. They are now twelve years old and still enjoy it. The illustrations are wonderful and the story has a great upbeat rhythm. As the tree gets cut smaller and smaller and someone smaller inherits it, we take turns remembering who gets it ...

Amazing book - coming from someone who has trouble getting into books
I am someone who has a difficult time getting into books and was given this recommendation from one of my English teachers in high school. I will never forget the book and the feelings it evoked in me. It was gripping and powerful and I grew close to the characters. Amazing story.

Divided Soul - The Life of Marvin Gaye54 reviews
David Ritz
McGraw-Hill, 1985
Very detailed life story of Marvin Gaye
I'm not much on writting reviews, but I will say that I enjoyed reading David Ritz' "Divided Soul: The Life of Marvin Gaye" because there were always questions I had concerning Marvin Gaye's life, like why was his father the way he was toward his more famous son, what Gaye was like before he found fame, and so on. This book succeeds in detailing what Gaye's life was like right up to his fateful ...

FLIP: How to Find, Fix, and Sell Houses for Profit57 reviews
Rick Villani, Clay Davis
McGraw-Hill, 2006
A Truly Effective Model
This book is a rarity in that it offers any level of investor a proven model and system to use that will work! It isn't a "look at me and see how special I am, book," as most of these are. It is a tried and true method to purchase a home for investment, to have a system in place to fix, repair or improve it, then re-sell it for profit. Rick Villani is a craftsman. He enjoys the work, and it ...

Handwriting Analysis : Putting It to Work for You53 reviews
Andrea McNichol, Jeffrey Nelson
McGraw-Hill, 1994
Out of 4 HA books, this one is still the best
I have had this books for 4-5 years now and it consistently blows me away when compared to other books on the topic. This author knows the limits of handwriting analysis and doesn't try to turn it into this generalized horoscope style garbage. This is the most realistic perspective on handwriting analysis I have found.

Think Better: An Innovator's Guide to Productive Thinking45 reviews
Tim Hurson
McGraw-Hill, 2007
Practical and easy-to-use advice for better thinking
I rarely ask a publisher to send me a book for review. I get more than I can possibly review without asking. But when I saw some of Tim Hurson's comments on Twitter connected to his book, Think Better: an innovator's guide to productive thinking, I knew it was a book I had to read and wanted to review.
I was prepared to be impressed, even though I'm very picking about "thinking" books. I've ...
