DK Publishing
DK CHILDREN, 2006
A must for any Star Wars Fan!
I wasn't sure what exactly to expect from this book. When I got it and started looking at the page after page of amazing documented discriptions of anything and everything you would see in these movies I was so pleased with my purchase. The only thing I noticed was the emphisis on Episodes 1-3 and remaining episodes were all lumped together in a quick glance almost. The book is amazing non the ...

Oahu Revealed: The Ultimate Guide to Honolulu, Waikiki & Beyond112 reviews
Andrew Doughty, Harriett Friedman
Wizard Publications Inc., 2004
Everything you need in one book.
As with most resort destinations there's no shortage of written material to mull through when planning a vacation. I ordered this book based on the reviews on Amazon and once I received it I put all the other material in the recycling bin. It was simply the best! My only regret is that I didn't order two copies as we're a family of four and quite often we found ourselves arguing over whose turn ...

Hawaii the Big Island Revealed: The Ultimate Guidebook (Hawaii the Big Island Revealed)240 reviews
Andrew Doughty, Harriett Friedman
Wizard Publications, 2002
This is simply the best guidebook available!
I compared it with three other guidebooks, and this one is hands down by far the best. I also like his sense of humor, and his ability to give us foreigners a realistic taste of the local culture. It is down to earth, not superficial, and it must have been a lot of work to write this guide! The first thing I did when I arrived in Oahu for the second segment of my trip was to go to the bookstore ...

The Ultimate Hitchhiker's Guide305 reviews
Douglas Adams
Wings, 1996
In one word, great.
I am going to make this simple. I read an old paperback copy of the original "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy". Having enjoyed reading the original, I found the "Ultimate" version in the discount section at Barnes and Noble. What a great buy for ten dollars.
Not all may like the series. For those that do, I highly recommend all additional books to the original. You will not be let down, as ...

Fantastic
This encyclopedia has almost every spell that you could need. From banishings, cleansings, love spells and even curses, this book is as close to the classical ancient tome of spells that you are likely to get. It was money well spent. It truly is the Ultimate Reference Book for the Magical Arts.

Da Capo Press, 2007
The Best Vegan Cook book to date!
From the moment I saw this book at the Borders where I work I was intrigued...a huge compendium of completely vegan recipes?? I had to investigate further. After borrowing the book from my store about 8 times (yes you can do that if you actually work there...rent brand new books out! WOOOT!) I decided that yeah...it was worth the price tag. I couldn't get enough of it.

Reiki The Ultimate Guide Learn Sacred Symbols & Attunements plus Reiki Secrets You Should Know141 reviews
Steve Murray
Body Mind Productions, 2004
Reiki is in us ALL - as this book will remind you.
This book is one of the best I've read in my 10 years of non-stop study in the healing energy arts, especially Reiki. Steve's approach is open, honest and straight to the point. Sure with different Reiki teachers you are going to get some different minor points here and there. This is the nature of Reiki at it's core anyway. We are all connected to this great source of healing energy, and we ...

The Art of Shen Ku: The Ultimate Traveler's Guide : The First Intergalactic Artform of the Entire Universe64 reviews
Zeek
Perigee Trade, 2001
One copy for the coffee table- another for the evacuation kit.
If you don't own or read another book in your life, at least have this one handy. Its kind of big, the size of a laptop- but if it comes to taking only what I can carry if the big earthquake hits one night, I will have my glasses in one hand and screw the laptop (its the most expensive thing I own!), taking this book in the other! In fact I don't even have to think that far because I have stuffed ...

Booklocker.com, 2004
Incredible
This book has helped me in so many ways. I knew nothing about the military before I left for boot camp. Now, I feel I am completely ready. The book has an easy to understand fitness routine and told me what to expect mentally from a drill sergeant, even the other recruits. This book even contains a packing list so I know exactly what to pack for boot camp.
Before I was scared to leave for ...

Push Not the River67 reviews
James Conroyd Martin
St. Martin's Griffin, 2004
a winner for historical fiction
This novel brings you to the late 1700's and offers the drama of a modern romance with all the trials of war while in another era and country.
Twists and turns along with an easy/quick history of early Poland will keep the pages turning. Quickly went to buy the sequel before starting a new book b/c I was up in arms to find out the happenings of these compelling characters.

Empowering!!
I am by nature open minded but cautious. I read Steve's website top to bottom and was inspired by the truth as I read it. It resonated with something deep inside me. I was very drawn to his openness and perspectives on Reiki and decided that this was the right path to follow. I have not been disappointed at all!! Very congruent in all his writing and his mission statement.

Steve's approach is open, honest and straight to the point. Sure with different Reiki teachers you are going to get some different minor ...

This is a fantastic follow up to Keeper Martin's Tale - a true joy to read full of mystery and intrigue and action and adventure. Like many readers, I found this to be even better than the first one. The series continues to be entertaining and interesting and has become one of my favorite ongoing fantasy series.
What makes it different from other fantasy series is that fantasy world is as ...

The Knitter's Book of Yarn: The Ultimate Guide to Choosing, Using, and Enjoying Yarn45 reviews
Clara Parkes
Potter Craft, 2007
BUY IT. No other book like it!
This book is the equivalent to a college course on fibers and their characteristics. NOW I know why some of my projects were not what I had hoped they would be; I substituted yarns that were the same gauge, but that wasn't enough. The patterns in this book are examples of each type of yarn (not just the fiber, but the number of plies, etc.) and are very user-friendly. I've already completed a ...
