Country Music Comin' Home (Country Classic) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I like to listen to country music so reading about it is another favorite passtime too! Have read other books by the author and he is a thorough writer each time.Click Here to see more reviews about: Country Music Comin' Home (Country Classic)Few people can refute the influence of music on society.

Oxford Picture Dictionary: English/Brazilian Portuguese Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I think that the most important facet to keep in mind when considering this book is that it is clearly designed for Brazilian Portuguese speakers to learn English and not so much the other way around. As you can see from "Looking Inside" the book there are great pictures with the translations included,...

Frommer's Nashville and Memphis (Frommer's Complete Guides) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This was not a very good guidebook. The directions were not always accurate and the maps (a very important part of a guide book) were not very good. The book is poorly organized, so that you are constantly having to page through to find information.Click Here to see more reviews about: Frommer's Nashville...

Organizing Plain and Simple: A Ready Reference Guide With Hundreds Of Solutions to Your Everyday Clutter Challenges Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I have purchased several books about organizing and getting rid of clutter, and they have all had some good suggestions. However, I never managed to apply the principles in anything except a half-hearted and short-term manner. Thus, I ended up with spaces that had been partially cleared and organized,...

Jacques Offenbach and the Paris of His Time Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)An excellent presentation of 19th century Paris and the music of Offenbach. This is my only book on the topic so no comparisons are possibleClick Here to see more reviews about: Jacques Offenbach and the Paris of His TimeSiegfried Kracauer's biography of the composer Jacques Offenbach is aremarkable...

Frommer's New York City Day by Day (Frommer's Day by Day - Pocket) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I have used Frommer's guides before, but the size, pictures, and detailed descriptions include all the things you will need. If you are looking for an extensive hotel list, this will not have it. I would go to the full Frommer's guide for that. But if you have lodging taken care of and know where you...

Stop Teaching Our Kids to Kill : A Call to Action Against TV, Movie and Video Game Violence Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)As a former reporter, I'm probably conditioned to be skeptical of claims that media violence is a problem. I was skeptical until I heard Colonel Grossman, then read his book. There is no doubt in my mind that Grossman is substantially right in his assertions. I now work for Illinois Attorney General...

Frommer's Colorado (Frommer's Complete Guides) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This book was helpful in planning my Colorado trip. I changed my plans to include some of the destinations they recommended.Click Here to see more reviews about: Frommer's Colorado (Frommer's Complete Guides)Rocky Mountain National Park offers year-round opportunities for seeing wildlife.

The Art of Selling to the Affluent: How to Attract, Service, and Retain Wealthy Customers & Clients for Life Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)If I were to follow the rules of a savvy, demanding reader, as suggested in the book, "How to Read a Book," I would have casually read this book, without trying to absorb as much as I can; and opted for the second read to be when I choose to be "one with the author," and act like we are truly havng a...

Complete Guide To Cruising & Cruise Ships 2011 (Berlitz Complete Guide to Cruising and Cruise Ships) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Very disapointed with this 2011 issue. Very few updates compared with previous issues.F.e. Azamara cruises (now Azamara Club cruises) had a lot of improvements since 2008 and still have a very low quote for such a luxury product (in fact informations on this cruise line are far from accurate and still...

The White Book: The Beatles, the Bands, the Biz: An Insider's Look at an Era Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)"When I picked up "The White Book," I honestly had no idea what to expect. What a pleasant surprise! I had never heard of Ken Mansfield before, and I consider myself a fairly knowledgeable Beatles fan. Mansfield, who was the former U.S. Manager of Apple Records, opts to take the high road in this engaging,...

Frommer's Hong Kong (Frommer's Complete Guides) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)If there is a hell for travel writers, I hope Beth Reiber will burn in it. The useful information in this book could be condensed into a postage stamp size guide: One good Dim Sum Restaurant, one good Macanese Restaurant and one walk in The Western District. I recently traveled with this book to Hong...

Washington, D.C. (EYEWITNESS TRAVEL GUIDE) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)We try to visit DC every couple of years, and next time we were thinking of paying for one of those guided city tours. We don't need the sites pointed out to us, but those tour guides always seem to have good information and anecdotes about the sites that you don't hear anywhere else. I thought that...

Wannabe: A Would-Be Player's Misadventures In Hollywood Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Mr. Weinberger's book should be a "must read" for anyone contemplating a career in the entertainment industry. As head of development for a major feature film production company, and having worked with some of the people detailed in this book, I can honestly say that WANNABE is painfully accurate. From...

Frommer's Caribbean 2011 (Frommer's Complete Guides) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)We wanted to go somewhere warm during the Winter this year and decided to go to a Caribbean Island. There are a lot of them but we settled on Curacao because of its European based culture. Not knowing anything about it, I searched for a guide just on Curacao, but without too much success so I settled...

Frommer's South Africa (Frommer's Complete Guides) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)We visited South Africa for 20 days in July 2000, driving from Cape Town to Kruger. Before we left we sat down at a large book store and reviewed all their South African travel books. This one looked the best and proved to be very useful, particularly for accomodations. Some of the prices had changed...

A History of Roman Art, Enhanced Edition Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I use this book as the primary text in my class on Roman Art and Archaeology. While it has largely an Art Historical bent, it is still the best, most comprehensive book that is currently available (I switch from Strong's Roman Art that pre-dates this text by a few decades). The illustrations and images...
