Directories Books

I purchased this book as a one stop resource for my business. It covers every sporting facility out there and has very thorough information. The only thing I don't like about it is the size, but if you want all the information, it's one of the best.

Whether you are a recruiter or an individual looking for your next career opportunity this book is an outstanding resource.

Updated annually, and listing thousands of niche internet job boards by professional discipline, as well as the big players known to all, it's a veritable treasure trove of information.

But it's in the listing of the niche sites this book really scores. As a HR professional who has done a lot of recruiting the book has led me to a number of excellent sources of candidate resumes I might otherwise have overlooked. Which means of course, it repays an individual to select two or three niche sites to post their resume.

Highly recommended!

We are in the process of looking at colleges for our son. A friend recommended this book and I am so glad she did. The amount of information on thousands of colleges and universities is unbelievable. The CD that comes with the book really helps to narrow done your choices. On the CD you can enter different search catagories like: major, location, size of student body, cost, etc. The program then produces a list to fit your criteria.

This book is a must have for an emerging writer who is trying to get his work out there. This book eliminates the problem of figuring out where to get started. After your story is complete, search the detailed listings to submit to journals and magazines that would be a good match. I wouldn't have known how to go about becoming a writer if it wasn't for this excellent book.

Being a new Poet, I have found this book, the "Bible" to be used for publishing poetry. May you continue, with even more advice, then previous publications. Be Number #1 in the publishing world, for Poet's.

This is one book that should be on the shelf of every education professional. I keep a copy in the library, and the teachers love it. It is an excellent source for finding several reference websites and for finding sites that will help the teachers with their planning and students with their learning. A well rounded book that is worth being in the hands of anyone hoping to get the most out of the web.

We purchased the '07 edition of this book last winter and my husband, daughter and I have used it several times a week ever since. The new edition ('08) is just as thorough with the expected updates. It is sensibly organized and contains pertinent factual information we need for preliminary research. We particularly like the quickly accessible stats listed in the margin. Friends have looked at our book and find it more useful than the others they have purchased.

This book is a wonderful resource for anyone -- teachers, parents, community officials -- who wants to make this world a better place for our children. It provides solid, in-depth information on several different organizations and national programs. It educates and illuminates, but never preaches or provokes one into feeling guilty about not being able to do everything. It's a great guide for individuals and groups alike! -- Laura Klotz, author of "Saving the World in Your Spare Time"

52 Great Florida Golf Getaways by Florida golfing expert Ed Schmidt Jr. is a handy, "user friendly" guide to some of Florida's most vibrant, well-run, and enjoyable golf courses. Yet the golf courses selected are particularly special in that each one of them has access to numerous other recreational opportunities nearby - boutiques, water parks, museums, kids' activities, sailing, tennis, fishing, and more - for the non-golfers in the family. Straightforward descriptions, contact information, and black-and-white photographs form the heart of this solid reference which is especially recommended for mixed golfer and non-golfer families in the Florida area. If you are golfer and taking a trip to Florida, begin your itinerary planning with a thorough browsing through Ed Schmidt's 52 Great Florida Golf Getaways!

I would recommend this book to anyone who is trying to obtain your MCSE or just needs a book for a good reference.
