The information complied by Captain Way is invaluable to anyone interested in the towing industry of the " Western Rivers".
This book not contains names of vessels, but photographs and tid-bits of first hand knowledge.
This book has already become a prized addition to my collection.

This is by far one of the best if not the best research tool for looking up the towboats during the steam era. It list the boats what type, type of hull, who built it and where, and a complete history of the boat from begining to its end. With the Way's Packet boat Directory you have a total history of steam river transportation. Totally unsurmountable in knowledge for your research or just curiousity of the history of steam travel.It includes wonderful black and white photos that enable you to feel like you are ready to board and take a trip into time.

If you are looking for a great source of web sites this book is a real deal.

The only downside is that it is updated so fast, you'll need to buy the next one just as soon as you get and read the first.

As is the net!

Clear, concise and chock-full of useful information, this book belongs on the reference shelf of every cyber-businessperson. All websites included feature a full description and are organized into major headings such as "Communication", "Entrepreneurs," "Financial Planning," "Management," and more. The bonus e-book with active hyperlinks is like getting two books for the price of one! I recommend this book highly to everyone doing business on the web.

This book allows the reader to acquire good information at no or low cost from the Federal Government on virtually every health topic there is. A good value.

This work is excellent. It can assist you in getting good quality
health care cheaply and in some cases for free. The author
lists a health care provider for each disease process.
In addition, he makes readers aware of free government programs;
such as, the Hill Burton Act and the National Institutes of
Health. He provides an 800 number for your physician to call
and arrange free or low cost hospitalization at the NIH patient
referral line . In addition, the author lists drug manufacturers
who will provide you with free or significantly discounted drugs.
The book is a worthy investment for any library.

If you have every tried to find THE nursery with the best selection for a particular plant this is the book for you. Plus you discover all the nurseries that are in your area that you probably did not know existed.

As a horticulturist who is always looking for the unusual and hard to find plant, I found this guide to be an treasure. The authors divide the nurseries down by geographical sections, and then break each nursery down into whether they are wholesale/retail/mail order, plant specialties, brief history/description, how to get there and general information. Also covered are Horticultural Attractions and a list of plant societies. If your a plant nut like me, make sure you add this book to your collection.

The only thing better than the outstanding art design of this up and coming guide to dining in Boston and Cambridge is in fact the restaurants chosen for this delightful publication. All of Boston's favorite restaurants are featured, with map, menus, and a picture of the dining room included. Restaurants are grouped by location, which is helpful when you have an area of town in mind. All in all I place its value up there with my Zagat's guide to dining in Boston, and find that these two publications compliment each other nicely.

I bought this book in the middle of a book buying spree. Unsureat first, it is now an essential part of my dining guidecollection. My girlfriend and I use it quite often. The sidebars with sample menus and other tidbits of important information like hours and dress code are really helpful. I've discovered many new restaurants with this guide. Highly recommended if you live in or around Boston, and even if you plan on visiting the city for vacation. Thanks for the great dining publication!

Fun read for anyone traveling to Paris and also for the arm-chair traveler, Informative and helpful for more than just shopping.

Great - need it for a trip to Paris!

This is an excellent reference source on England and the world at large from a British point of view.

Full of global "factoids", this book is indispensible for business and home use.

If you want to know almost anything about a ski area located in North America, this is the book. It has everything you could want to know from lift ticket prices to how to get there to phone numbers, to trail maps. No other book is as comprehensive. Even the most obscure of ski areas (as long as they are active) are listed!

The White Book of Ski Areas has proven over the years to be the best personal guide to America's skiing that I could find. As a member of the military (and a ski instructor), I never know where I'll be next winter. However, once there, the White Book will guide me to the best skiing to be found within a reasonable driving distance.

Firstly, this book is very entertaining and fun to read. That's why it gests five stars - there is nothing that innovative though. I am a systems auditor - these are the sort of things that make going to work entertaining.

Some of the suggestions are a very quick way to get into trouble - PC anywhere in particular is a high risk product in it's own right - if the security settings are scrwed up. Who is monitoring your network traffic? Do you want them to know what's on your home PC? Have you set up PC anywhere securely?

If I discovered an employee routing (confidential)email outside the company network I'd be more disturbed by the security implications than the employee slacking off. Who at the ISP has access to the email?

The ideas in this book are rather similar to spending a sick day at a ball game, which your boss is watching on TV .... fine until the camera picks you out!

Fun book. Make sure you know your companies policies before you start to play ........

I have really enjoyed reading this book. It has some really funny, neat and clever ideas in "sticking it to the man" or boss for that matter.

The techno gadgets of today were supposed to make life easier, but what it's done is elongated our work week. Now, we're expected to work all the time. It never ends...

Well this book, takes a very tongue in cheek approach and will teach you how you can make it look like you are spending those hours working away, when you can be really spending time with the family, at the movies or just plain slacking off.
