This new 15th edition is a comprehensive survey of 2500 schools, facilities and organizations across the US serving children and young adults with developmental, emotional, physical and medical disabilities. With indexex cross-referencing a range of disabilities, this work is an invaluable aid to parents and professionals seeking the optimal environment for special-needs children.

Most of the book, pages 113-1015, consist of listings of the schools. The listings contain the name, a very brief description of the programs, location, contact information, and a paragraph describing the overall mission of the school. This section is broken down by state.

At the beginning of the book is a listing of the program emphasis at all of the schools (about 70 pages). The emphasis is broken down into ten general categories, and an indication is made to indicate a Primary or Secondary emphasis. This allows the quick identification of schools by specialty that can then be investigated more completely in the following section. Finally there is a small section of advertising placed by some of the schools.

This is easily the most complete book of it's type available.

My boyfriend and I think that this is the best adult filmguide there is

The publisher took the epic task of accumulating very hard to find data and presented it in a clear and concise referrence book. I'm sure many people who are not aware of this title must spend weeks or even months gathering the information this book provides! A must-have for any business person with global intentions.

Directory Of American Presidents is a "user friendly" resource listing basic data about the wives, children, parents, birth and death dates, party, term, education, religion, and notable events of the 43 American Presidents ranging from George Washington to George Walker Bush. An excellent quick-lookup book, brief, simple, and very easy-to-use, the Directory Of American Presidents is a welcome and recommended addition to community and school library American History and Political Science collections.

From front Jacket:

"This is the most comprehensive guide to the subject ever published. It lists all known makers of American silver, pewter and silver plate who worked prior to 1900. There are thousands of entries, many more than in any other book. All the makers' birth and death dates are given, where possible, as well as the period in which they practiced their craft. All known marks are listed and cross-indexed. In short, [this book] makes it simple to identify virtually every piece made by the silversmiths of America."

This book is so woefully out of date that you do not want to be carrying it. It was also published by a questionable source. The National Businesss Incubation Association keeps official track of the incubators in the United States. The list of existing incubators today is vastly changed from 1988. I would suggest that you remove the book from your list.

Rather than subscribe to hundreds of publications in search of a specific buyer for your valuable antiques or collectibles, spend $14.95 and consult the DIRECTORY OF BUYERS by Fran Hulme. Proclaimed a "Must for all collectors and dealers" by the experts in the field the book is one of the most important resources available. I use it on a daily basis.

I have been using this directory for about 5 years, though at first I was using earlier editions. I'm on my 3rd copy I think.

Shop owners list what items they are looking for, so it's easy to identify places looking for your type of craft! In the back there are suggestions for how to write to the potential buyers, what to send, etc.

I used this several years ago and started selling my jewelry wholesale to a couple of stores. It was so exciting. I also consigned some of my items in Galleries. The directory is sorted by state, though all the vendors I ended up selling to were in other states.

If you are looking for places to sell your art or crafts, you MUST get a copy of this directory! You'll wish you had it years ago!
