A must for anyone who wants to get the most out of the Web.

This is by far, the most informative restaurant guide I have ever read for the city of San Francisco. The book includes listings of the best places to dine by category and the ratings are very close to accurate. A totally must-have book in San Francisco and the surrounding area.

"The book has three likely uses. First, it can serve as a quick guide for those who can remember any of the author's names for a key article, but need more exact information for location or reference. Second, it can enable those interested in quantitative literature analysis to test and verify much of the work in this area by the authors of this book. Finally, and most likely, the book can help professors identify the seminal works in specific areas of interest. This can be particularly beneficial in designing reading lists for graduate courses.

"The new edition contains three significant additions. First, four additional years are included. Second, the four categories and citation indexes for each article are given in Part I as well as Part II. Third, all indexed articles are listed in the Part II sections, yet readers who scorn the uncited will not be inconvenienced, since unreferenced articles reside at the bottom of each list.

"In summary, this is a significantly improved edition. This unique book shows which works in various areas have most strongly influenced recent academic accounting research. The book should continue to be especially valuable in preparing reading lists for accounting doctoral programs and seminars."

"The authors have added citations for research published during the last 3 years to the 22 years of citations contained in the first edition. There is an alphabetical listing of all articles cited, followed by a breakdown according to mode of reasoning, research methodology, school of thought and topical content. Accounting faculty and graduate students will find this to be a useful aid in locating information for their research projects."

For those who are interested in the history of Britain, the Complete Peerage is a necessary reference. Unfortunately, CP does not come up to the present day. Addenda & Corrigenda brings the peer-by-peer history up to the present day, filling in the gaps and allowing a continuity of study of particular families and titles. A bit pricy, it is however a necessary completion for anyone who uses the Complete Peerage.

I am a handicapped person and I just started collecting autographs via mail. I was using 2 other books at first and had about a 20 to 30 percent return using their addresses and techniques. I started using Cynthia's book and I am now around 70 to 80 percent. I receive 5 to 10 autographs per day and with her technique, I received a lot of photo's and personal notes from the celebrities. The turn around time was great and I can't believe the results I've been receiving. I sent Cynthia an email about some addresses that were wrong and she personally wrote me back to thank me(She also has her own Web Site). She is a very nice person and she really knows her autograph business. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to collect autographs through the mail. Thanks Again Cynthia!

Administering NDS- Corporate Edition was a great help for me trying to learn about Novell's new directory services architecture. The book is well organized and easy to read. It provides with step by step instructions on how to do various things using Consoleone as well as NWAdmin32 supported by snapshots so you won't have to sit in front of a console all day. People like me who are keen on network security will find "Managing NDS Security" chapter helpful where authors explained cryptography with Novell PKIS and NICI. At the end of each chapter there are pointers to Web articles - a great plus. Throughout the book authors also tried to provide instructions on how to integrate other platforms (NT and Solaris) under Novell NDS and did a good job at it. I recommend this book to everyone.

I initially found this book in our local library in early 1994. I then ordered a copy of my very own so that I could write notes in the edges and make notations in the margins. I used this book to find agencies that had parameters that we were looking for: location, price for adoption services(we are not rich), and average waiting times. I mailed many of the agencies in the book and we recieved many, many referrals. One of them lead to the adoption of our daughter in October 1994. She is now eight, and the joy of our lives. My only regret is that there has been no updated version of this book as we are tring to adopt another child and updated information would be sooooo helpful.

We're all used to using the net to get information, with the end result often being too much material with too little information. This book gets right down to the "nuts and bolts". It saved me time (which I don't have enough of) and money and took away a lot of the pain. A must read!

This book offers up a fantastic, old-school approach to trail running. There's a great section on the history of trail/adventure running, a fairly simplified section on what gear you need and how to train, and a lengthy section describing the 100 best trail runs in North America. The 100 best runs are mostly fairly long (20+ miles in length) and the ones that I have done myself really are the best runs in Washington and BC.

This is NOT a training book or a beginner's book, but it is a great how-to book that gives you what you need to get out there and do some fun, epic runs!
