Good News
This is the story about a man named Quoyle, an ugly giant of a man, a loser who grows on you like a dull landscape. At the beginning of the novel, he is without plan, without talent, and without the good sense to notice. A lumbering, large-chinned, clumsy loner, Quoyle decides on the death of his beloved yet wayward wife that something has to change. He leaves New York State with his two young ...

Another Steve Weber How-To Book
This book is the third Steve Weber book I have read, the first two being "The Home-Based Bookstore" and "Plug Your Book." I was quite enthusiastic about both of Steve's earlier efforts because they were extremely helpful and Steve wrote both well. Those comments apply to this book also. The marvelous thing about this book is that it starts with the basics and works up to advanced techniques ...

Mine's Bigger: Tom Perkins and the Making of the Greatest Sailing Machine Ever Built

Smooth sailing (at least for the reader)
"Mine's Bigger" reacquaints us with Tom Perkins, to whom author David A. Kaplan had previously introduced us as one of the leading venture capitalists behind "The Silicon Boys". What follows is the story the "Maltese Falcon", the greatest sailing vessel ever built, a tale in which Perkins is no less driven (and, some might say, no more sane) than the seafaring protagonists of Melville and ...

A Great Sailing Reference
This book is a great reference for anyone interested in sailing. If you're looking for a book that covers both power boating as well as sailing, Chapman's might be a better choice. However, on the topic of sailing, I prefer Annapolis over Chapman's.

A good reference for high- and low-volume sellers on Amazon
My husband and I have been selling books on Amazon for over five years, for our county's Friends of the Library group. We make about a hundred dollars per month profit by selling books that have been donated to our county's two public libraries. If you are thinking of selling on this web site, you can't go wrong by reading this book. It's got everything we had to learn the hard way, including ...
The Box: How the Shipping Container Made the World Smaller and the World Economy Bigger

Marc Levinson
Princeton University Press
, 2008
Great overview of how containers changed the way we live.
Levinson does an excellent job of describing life before the container and how its introduction was a catalyst for vast socio-economic changes. I like the way he carved up the book into manageable pieces where each chapter examined one aspect of these changes: ports, unions, dockworkers, etc. Drawback is that some photos, graphs, etc should have been included to illustrate some of Levinson's ...

Inspirational
Even if you read the whole book and don't get a single idea for your own scrapbooking, it's OK. And that's one of the first lessons in a book about cultivating an attitude which will free the life artist within you to create pages and albums and other projects which reflect your personality and vision. It's OK. Although Life Artist is divided into chapters with themes, the book is essentially ...

Great Introduction for 12V Use in the Marine Environment
Even if you've never worked with electricity, but now need to because you have a boat, "The 12-Volt Bible for Boats" is a great introduction that covers more than just the basics. The early part of the book covers all of the beginner introduction to batteries and electricity. It also explains the differences between 12-Volt car systems and boat systems.

Belongs in every serious Titanic collectors library.
I have previously raved about Volume II in this series (which came out before Volume 1) and I will do so again here. This is meticulously researched and photo/illustration rich. This volume covers the building and hardware fitting out of the TItanic. Most of the illustrations come from her sister ship Olympic, but there are also many rare photos and illustrations here directly from the Titanic as ...

Amazing! Hilariously creative!
This book is not only the most creative effort of the Duct Tape Guys (by far), it's colorful (full color throughout), funny, and actually useful as a year around costume idea book. Their sixth book, "Duct Tape Halloween" definitely sets the new standard for duct tape books! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Excellent portable knit stitch library -- reputible company!
I fell in love with this book from the first moment I saw it -- which was probably the first year it was produced. The pictures are excellent. The directions are clear. The format (with the spiral binding and compact size) make it the perfect book to keep in your knitting bag when you go on the road. I have multiple knitting bags (multiple projects going on at any one time) so actually have ...

Perfect for bedtime
This is a wonderful book that my nine-month-old has enjoyed since we received it as a gift when he was 2 months old. I don't understand the other reviews that say "it isn't much of a story". "Sweet Dreams", as the title implies, is a bedtime book. And it is perfect for that. Short, simple, engaging but not exciting, it is oh-so-soft and very comforting. My son loves it. He touches each ...
