Leanings: Best of Peter Egan from Cycle World28 reviews
Peter Egan

Motorbooks, 2002

Review from a gift giver
I did not actually read this book, but gave it to my husband for Christmas. He's an avid motorcyclist and he LOVED this book. He's not much of a reader, but he read this book in every spare moment and finished it within a week. He laughed outloud often and read parts of the book to me that he found funny. He liked the book so much he bought a copy as a gift for my father and he loaned out his ...

Joseph Jenkins

Jenkins Publishing (PA), 2003

$30 Is A Cheap Price For This Book!
Whether you are and experienced slate roofer or a homeowner who might be considering investing in a slate roof, you'll enjoy this book. I'll let the other reviewers talk about pictures and text and history and other aspects of the book. But the overwhelming sensation I got from this book is the passion Joseph Jenkins has for slate roofs. This is a man who absolutly loves what he is doing. ...

The Repair the World253 reviews
Peter Ullian

Amazon, 2007

A Question Of Decency
I was an undergrad theatre major at the University of Iowa when Peter was a grad playwriting student there. His plays were entertaining, often darkly funny, grounded in a strong sense of narrative, and most of all intensely focused on ethical concerns... in particular the fundamental question of how to be a decent person when faced with untenable choices. It seems appropriate that he would turn ... 		  
  







  
  
BestCredit: How to Win the Credit Game, 2nd Edition45 reviews
Dana Neal

Paladin Press, 2006

more for BUILDING excellent credit
I bought this book because of all the other excellent reviews... But it is more for BUILDING good credit than repairing it. If you really want to repair your credit, spend some money and get a good attorney to help you. 		  
  







  
  
Boatowner's Mechanical & Electrical Manual: How to Maintain, Repair, and Improve Your Boat's Essential Systems48 reviews
Nigel Calder

International Marine/Ragged Mountain Press, 1995

A Must Have for Owners of Auxiliary Sailboats
I have a 1987 Catalina 30 sailboat with a diesel engine. I wish I had purchased a copy of this book six years ago when I bought my boat. I might have saved hundreds and maybe even thousands of dollars in yard bills by doing more of the work myself with the help of this book. I have the 2nd Edition published in 1995. I think it is well organized, well written, and I find the illustrations to ... 		  
  







  
  
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 ... 		  
  







  
  
The Poetry Home Repair Manual: Practical Advice for Beginning Poets29 reviews
Ted Kooser

University of Nebraska Press, 2005

A gentle introduction to the art of writing poetry
This is not an intense workbook to poetry nor a rigid list of rules to follow. Rather, it is a gentle conversation with the author that pleasantly guides you along the finer points of writing poetry. Interspersed with kind humor, we read sample poems that illustrate various aspects of poetry from voice to how to submit for publication. It reminds me by its simplicity of "Elements of Style" ... 		  
  







  
  
PC Hardware in a Nutshell (Nutshell Handbook)33 reviews
Robert Bruce Thompson, Barbara Fritchman Thompson, ..., 2000

Power to the People!
Let me start out with a huge thanks to O'Reilly. I'm not a big fan of large corporations or publishers - but I have come to trust O'Reilly implicitly wherever technical issues are concerned. Although I'm certain that they are not the "perfect" publisher, nor in the business for wholly (ha!) altruistic reasons, I AM amazed by the remarkable originality, diversity, range, quality, accuracy, and ... 		  
  







  
  
Repairing and Upgrading Your PC31 reviews
Robert Thompson, Barbara Fritchman Thompson

O'Reilly Media, Inc., 2006

Excellent guide
I bought this book about a year ago when I was contemplating stretching the life of my 4+ year old PC. The book proved very useful for me to zero in on the biggest bang-for-the-buck upgrades, and which ones were best to avoid because they yield low performance for the dollar. About a month ago, I decided to build my own PC. This book again proved useful in helping guide me in making decisions ...

The Complete Pool Manual for Homeowners and Professionals: A Step-by-Step Maintenance Guide17 reviews
Dan Hardy

Atlantic Publishing Company (FL), 2007

Great Resource for Pool Owners
We bought a house with a pool & spa and the previous owners were kind enough to take all of the materials pertaining to both. Never owning a pool before, we were clueless. This book has been very helpful! I highly recommend for the new pool owner and it could prove to be useful for the experienced pool owner as well. 		  
  







  
  
A Tree for Peter23 reviews
Kate Seredy

Purple House Press, 2004

One of the best children's books ever.
I read a library copy of this book as a child back in the early 60's, and it touched me deeply. For years I tried to find a copy to purchase, but it was out of print and the internet hadn't happened yet. Then several years ago along came ebay, and I finally was able to get an older copy. I have shared it with my own children, and I still can't get through the book without crying. I'm thrilled ...

Blues Piano: Hal Leonard Keyboard Style Series (Keyboard Instruction)17 reviews
Mark Harrison

Hal Leonard Corporation, 2003

Fabulous
I'm a blues guitarist and I'm in the early stages of learning to play piano, so I can't give the most credible of reviews of this book yet, but I can tell you that it's chock-full of really, really, REALLY excellent comps and vamps and licks. So far I'm only able to work on the simplest of the stuff early in the book, but I've listened to the CD the whole way through, and it's just one example ... 		  
  







  
  
Renovating Old Houses: Bringing New Life to Vintage Homes22 reviews
George Nash

Taunton, 2003

Read it front-to-back, become a better, wiser person.
This book is much like 'How to Keep Your Volkswagon Alive Forever', in the sense that yes, it is a how-to book. However, it is also a guide; not just to renovation/restoration but also to yourself: are you, like Nash, the die-hard romantic, the perpetually patient, are you - as Nash puts it- "..a peculiar kind of maniac who is one part ability, one part inventiveness, two parts determination, ...

Carol Venolia, Kelly Lerner

Lark Books, 2006

PERFECTION!
I could not put this book down. It answers all of my questions and concerns as I begin to contemplate the large undertaking of creating a healthy, eco-friendly home for our family. Very thorough, creative and well-written... I only wish I could hire these women directly. Just enough information to cover all of the key considerations, with plenty of guidance on how to dig deeper if necessary. ...
