Games Books

Here in a short, straightforward uncluttered way, are the ABC's and the "one, two, threes" of the game of love. It is a tutorial for adults, in life's most important contact sport.

In ten easily lessons, it basically walks the reader through the "relationship creation and sustaining process:" that is, through the process of turning two selfish "half people," usually working at cross-purposes, into a unified pair of two "whole people" playing by, and enjoying, the same rules.

The ten axioms here, first lay down the rules for self-love, then for personal growth, self-discovery, personal awareness and personal development, all of which just happen to be the same rules that make the game of love and life worth playing, and a "win-win" proposition for individuals and relationships.

Much better than the normal "pop" self-help fare because it has the added bonus of being true. Four stars

I absolutely LOVE this book!!! It is so helpful and insightful!!! It helps you get everything into perspective and teaches you not only how to love another but how to love yourself as well! I recommend this book to anyone and everyone! I have already told so many people about it!!!

This book has been a wake-up call for me. It helped me understand myself and my partner in life. It has taught me how to develop and maintain a lasting authentic relationship.

(Sorry, English is not my mother-tongue.)
This is a great relationship-book! You won't find boring advice that you need to be supportive to your partner, you need to cherish him / her as often you could... but straightly to the point, Cherie will tell you that you need to differentiate being supportive and controlling... etc.

Those things commonly happened in our relationships, and it's nice to have someone reminded us to be a better person for our beloved one. Worth to collect. Recommended for you who're still single, also for married couple.

I'm finished reading this book, but I still use this book as reference, when I feel my relationship start getting trouble. And however, it helps!

This was a really good book. It gave me a lot of good insight on what to look for in a spouce. It also taught me some things about myself. I recommend this book to anyone who seem to be finding love in all the wrong places.

At twelve years old, Alex begins thinking that she might be a good enough swimmer to represent New Zealand in the Olympics in 1960, when she is sixteen. Juggling high school, other extracurricular activities, and competitive swimming is tough, though. It becomes especially tough when Maggie, who has been competing since she was two, moves nearby and begins training at Alex's pool. Maggie has an overbearing mother and an absolute dedication to swimming that means she mostly wins her events against Alex. Alex remains certain that she will be able to come out on top at the Olympic trials, though.

As that time comes closer, Alex becomes less and less certain of herself, and she finds herself getting more and more overwhelmed by the events in her life. Will she be able to set everything aside in order to focus on what may be the most important swim of her life?

This was a decent story about swimming and about the pressures of high school, which haven't really changed all that much in the last forty years. However, I was disappointed by the predictability of the storyline with Andy. On the second page of the prologue, before we had even officially met him, I already knew exactly what happened. It was a letdown when my suspicions ended up being true.

I read this book over and over again. It's well-written and handles emotions more complex than most books for this age group.

I was at the secondhand bookstore, reading a book about greatbooks for girls, and it mentioned one I thought I'd seen whilebrowsing the shelves earlier. I went and picked it up, 259-page"In Lane Three, Alex Archer" and decided to get it - itsounded good and was only ... anyway. I spent the next three daysreading little parts of it at a time, and could barely put itdown. The epilogue was especially good, and after finishing it Iimmediately wrote out a new Favourite Books List - there was a new onein first place.

I loved this book! It is an excellent read and is well written. The story is beautiful and the characters are believable. It's a story an girl can relate to, no matter their age. The emotions and trials of Alex are very real; it's hard to put it down until you're done! I recomend this book to anyone. Not only does it talk about growing up a teenage girl, but it describes things such as the personal struggles of competiting in a way that is different and refreshingly honest. Buy this book today!

This book was a great book. If you are a swimmer you can relate to all the training and the time you have for everything else. If you have ever dreamed of going to the Olympics this book shows you what you have to need and go through. Alex shows courage and faith in this book. The book also gives examples of a swimmer's friendships and dreams. "In Lane Three, Alex Archer" is a really good book, it tells the story of a swimmer's life when she is training and trying to have fun.

This was my first book on Tarot. I now own several and still use this one quite often. I highly recommend this book for all beginners.

This book is my number 1 resource. It is written very well, and the way it is all laid out really works for me. I own several Tarot books, but whenever I need help with a definition this is the one book I always end up turning to, it is very dependable. I also find the section in the back on card combinations (like runs of numbers, suits, ect.) very helpful. I would highly recommend this book to anyone learning the Tarot.

This is an excellent book to have in your library if you are interested in Tarot or practice Tarot Reading. Very laidback and written in layman terminology, It's all in the Cards, brings Tarot down to what it is, a wonderful art, practice and for some, side hobby.

Whether you are a beginner or a professional, this is the book to have in your library or to share with people, who are interested in the art of Tarot reading.

An excellent book that is well-written and a must have for all.

This book takes tarot reading beyond throwing out divination keywords and actually portrays the cards as telling a story. Each reading is meant to tell a story of a persons situation at question, and show a natural outcome of the dilema. Out of all the books I have read about tarot, I think this book explains that idea the best. On top of that, the organization of the book is really good, and if I need to look up something really quick, I never have to flip through more than once to find what I need. its a simple, versatile, easy-to-read, and down to earth explanation of the cards and the art of reading them. I give it five stars. But don't take my word for it... *reading rainbow music*

It was easy to read and broke things down very well, for the Major Arcana, the Minor Arcana section seems a little hurried, it would have been nice to have as much focus on each of the Minor Arcana cards as was on the Major Arcana cards. But, otherwise, I like the way this book is written, it is pretty straightforward doesn't get too wordy.

"Forget the yellow folder with the drawings of those different sports guy on it. Forget the fancy pencil holder with secret compartments. Forget your two-dollar eraser in the shape of a hamburger. The Trapper Keeper was the only must-have school supply.

The Trapper Keeper you had said a lot about who you were . The kids with the Hawaiian sunset were the deep, moody kids. The girls with the kitties were the good girls. The girls with the unicorns were the artsy girls. The boys with the sports cars were the jerks. The boys with planets and stars were smart. The boys with "Rad Dog" written on theirs were burnouts. And the kid with the panda bear was having trouble at home. It was all very simple and obvious."

So says the entry on the Trapper Keeper. Yeah, it's that good.

Picked up this book on a whim (I love the "I love the 80s" shows on VH1, so I figured this would be somewhat like it) and I wasn't disappointed! Funny anecdotes, interesting information and a great selection of 80s paraphenalia make this book worth rereading several times, because there's always some joke or funny reference that you've forgotten or missed.
I also find it good for stress relief at night, if you can't sleep because you can't stop worrying about stuff. I just pick up this book, thumb to a section or two and it makes me laugh and I forget about stress long enough to fall asleep (although I'm sure the authors never intended it as a sleep aid!).
Oh, and for reference, I was born towards the beginning of the 80s, so some stuff I wasn't familiar with, but it was all funny anyway.

great purchase for any kid at heart who grew up in th 80's. could've been more inclusive. may i suggest a part 2?

After buying this book for my brother for Christmas (which he loved too btw) I Got this book yesterday for myself and read it all last night:):):) it's exactly what I was looking for a great nostalgia filled trip down memory lane....I thought I was a complete 80's geek but some stuff in this book I hadn't even heard of.....even though it's written by two guys and has a lot of "boy" toys....there were still all the major "girl" toys in there too....and I loved the candid stories they shared especially the babysitters club and punky brewster doll (sorry action figure) too cute:):):)it is nicely set out and presented really well.....a great gift for 80's children everywhere:):)I hope they will do another one from the 80's tv shows/fads etc.....and even the 90's too:):):)good job guys:):)

There's a certain innocence about the 80's that seems very transparent by today's standards. But in the 80's... we all thought that we were living a revolution of cutting edge pop culture. Little did we know that those years would pale in comparison to the childhood trends of the 90's & 2000's. I really believed that I had dismissed from my mind most of the decade and rightly so, it seemed so 20 something years ago. But honestly this book made me really appreciate what I had forgotten. Being a kid of the Reagan Era, I lived through the 90's thumbing my nose at most of these pop culture icons (and listening to grudge rock). I bought "Just Can't Get Enough" as a passing fancy (being a follower of vintage toys), not knowing that the personal stories and memories of the authors would be the gems within.

The Book Itself - It's pretty neat really. The chapters are each a certain 80's icon, divided into small subsections with titles like, "The Story" or "The Products" or "What Does It All Mean?" All of this wrapped up in a suedo-Trapper Keeper style cover with a velcro clasp. When reading the chapters, you begin to appreciate how much time and effort was put into this book. With chapters devoted to Transformers, He-Man, Madballs, Scratch N' Sniff stickers, Garbage Pail Kids, etc., the book gives equal focus, regardless of obscurity. I particularly liked the toys that I remembered fondly from childhood, but also enjoyed the great details about toys I never knew - i.e. Pogo Ball or "Pogo Bal" as the writers note humorously. The authors treat us to most of the usual suspects of the decade, but there are a few rarely honored candidates such as Crossbows And Catapults, Choose Your Own Adventure books, and Hit-Stix among others. Also, there are some obvious misses such as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Ghostbusters, Gremlins, Get Along Gang, Shirt Tales, Smurfs, Pound Puppies, etc. Hopefully these oversights make way for a follow-up volume. But what you do get makes up for anything not included. First thing you will notice is the great writing style. I particularly like the sarcastic overtone that seems to permeate from every page, pure "Gen X" humor at its best. These authors go to great lengths to make each chapter witty and nostalgic. In fact, if you are unable to feel an overwhelming sense of nostalgia after reading this book, then you most likely were born after Operation Desert Shield... or during the hay days of Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In. Whether you relive the 80's regularly or haven't looked back since 1990 - this book is going to trigger fond memories... or at least jar something loose from the painfully hidden recesses of the mind.

My Personal Reaction - I found myself on several occasions laughing out loud. My girlfriend seemed frustrated with me continually interrupting her TV watching by loudly exclaiming, "listen to this" as I read aloud large passages time and time again. Finally she picked up the book, which was a big mistake for me... since it took me quite a while to get it back. She appreciated different sections (the My Little Pony, Strawberry Shortcake, Rainbow Brite). It was like going to Toys 'R Us from your childhood; you either were in the boys section or over in the pink section if you were a girl - no matter which, it was fun. So I can say, there is something for everyone, boys and girls alike. Personally, I was pleasantly surprised by my fascination with chapters like the game Guess Who?, which I actually hated as a child. The more ridiculous the idea the funnier the commentary became as the authors put it all in perspective. And when I say perspective, I mean being a 20 something or 30 something adult. There is some crude humor in here that is not at all pointed to the young kids we once were. But honestly, do we expect any children today to even bother reading this? I can plainly put that to rest - kids today would never "get" what this book is about. Once you start reading, remember this isn't just a book about the items; it's a book about how they all relate to us - the children of the 80's. So don't get caught up expecting a long treatise on the history of everything 1980's, that's not what it's about.

Final Thoughts - I read this only wanting more. The only fix for your "jonesing" would be to share this with others. If you buy this book, then don't forget to invite your other Gen X friends or siblings or whoevers to a fun filled day in the way-back machine. I highly recommend this book as a fan of humor and 80's pop culture. But, if you only want to see details of 80's toys - minus the nifty sarcasm, then check out Action Figures of the 1980s (Schiffer Book for Collectors) - it's loaded with great pictures. But be warned, that book doesn't have a one-tenth the laughs of "Just Can't Get Enough." If the authors do nothing else, then this book is still a masterpiece in its own right and worthy of a notable writing career. I hope this isn't the end though; there are plenty of unvisited pop culture products still lurking in our memories for "Just Can't Get Enough"... Volume 2.

Excellent book!!! It helped my kids and myself complete the game! Help alot during complicated levels.

This guide helped me a lot to beat the game. I got stuck at the second dungeon so I bought the guide. The only problem is that the walkthrough for the seventh dungeon, Eagle Tower, I got lost and couldn't really figure out what to do, so I just walked around trying different stuff. But other than that, this guide is perfect and you should get it if you own the game.

IT KICKS BIG BUT I BOUGHT IT FOR MY FREIND AND HE BEAT THE GAME IN ONE DAY! BUY IT NOW! ! !

What can I say? This guide book is very well put together, aiding the young adventurer (i.e. you) thru his quest in beating the Wind Fish and solving the elusive mystery of Koholint Island. It is very well thought out, with complete maps for everything. Of course, it being a guide book, if you really want to beat it you ought try to do it yourself first, and consult the book only when necessary. But they have done a very fine job.

There is one stint I have against it, however. At the beginning of each section, they have suggestions for things you ought to do. This is all well and fine - but one some of these they should direct you to the page number that dealt with that specific item or whatever it is. Example: they say in one of the later sections it is good to go and get your boomerang. You have to go back and find where they talk about the boomerang (which, as I remember, in the early part of the book, not the section it should be). But this is only a minor stint.

Another good thing is they have a map, and on the back of that is where to get all the new pictures from the camera shop. The only problem with that is if you lose the map, you're basically screwed in the picture department.

Visually very nicely laid out. You can very clearly tell where you need to go. The dungeons are taken step by step, and is an excellent example in the writing of guides. I would like to see more of their work: if its anywhere near this good, then they're great overall. They should be regularly featured guide writers (they probably are). The one problem I mentioned is only minor, and does not deserve to detract an entire star.

Therefore, this guide book is 4 & ½ stars. Keep it up you guys! Actually, on second thought, a full 5 stars.

We bought this for our nephew's 4th birthday. I must say that I spent at least an hour looking through the book before I wrapped it. I thought it was really cool and couldn't get over how the closer you looked, the more you would see. Aidan liked the book but was much more interested in his sea of presents on his birthday. However, my brother tells me that after a few days, Aidan went back to this book and started looking at it with my brother. He loves it and gets excited when he can figure out what the items are.

I bought all of Steiner's books for my three year old for Christmas. This one is by far his favorite. I love reading each page and he finishes every sentence. If I would let him he would sleep with this book every night and it's fun for adults to look at too!!

The creativity oozes from this book. You'll never look at ordinary products in the same way again. The creative author of this book takes ordinary items and creates unique display pictures. You or your child can spend hours looking at each picture to see which unique items are used, and how they are used. Great gift, and great for libraries to have on hand

These books are spectacular, we play "I spy" with them and see something new every time.

What a wonderful book! I bought the book as a gift for my nephew and enjoyed it so much I nearly didn't want to give it away! Needless to say my nephew was delighted and loves the book. It's a great way to spend quality time with the younger generation, you will get as much pleasure as they do, finding all the cleverly arranged objects. A great way to wile away a cold winter's eve.

This is one of my all time favorite picture books for all ages. Peter Spiers beautiful illustrations need no words to tell this story. The possibilities for interacting with a child are endless as you wander through the familiar and find the surprising! My granddaughter is 2 years old and loves animals. What could be a better birthday gift?

The happy and humorous tone of this book will make it appealing to any child, whatever the family's religion.

The only text is at the beginning and it is a charming translation of a poem that summarizes the story of Noah. The poem is delightful in and of itself- Spier did a great job of translating.

The illustrations are then left without text, which is very refreshing, since there are so few picture books nowadays. I enjoy leisurely paging through this book with my young daughter, talking about the pictures in and of themselves, as pieces of art and as pictures that tell a story. I feel that the pressure is off in terms of trying to finish a sentence or a story when there is no text there.

In addition, this book is appropriate for Muslim families as well, since the illustrations (and beginning poem) are sufficiently vague as to accommodate for the small differences in the telling of the story in the Qu'ran and the Bible.

My first Peter Spier book. Not saccharine, wonderful details (including Noah mucking out the ark). Great to have a child read to YOU.

This is an excellent picture book - my three year old really loves it. My only "complaint" is that it takes a long time to go through all the pictures and talk about each one making it less than ideal right before bed unless you want to spend 20 minutes on just one book! Seriously though - the book is just wonderful and allows parents to go into whatever level of detail regarding the Noah story as they feel is appropriate for the age of their child. It is a softcover and the pages and cover are not of the highest quality - it would be lovely to have in hardcover with larger pages.

This book really does not need any words. It is so well illustrated that you can understand every part of the story. His detailing is stunning. Every time we read this book, we find new details. This is the best book of Noah's ark story!

I got this book to help with a drama camp that I was teaching. It helped me organize and plan in a way that kept the kids focused. They had a great time and so did I. I highly recommend this book.

This book is amazing. It gives great instructions for many fun games. The instructions are brief,but fun,and give enough information to make the games easy to implement. I have used the book twice for a group of kids, ranging in age from 9-14, and they have loved the activities! I've purchased a couple other similar books that were not nearly as fun and well-put-together as this one.

I bought this book to use to teach a drama class in my homeschool co-op, and I'm so pleased with the fun games and ideas for teaching basic drama concepts. The kids are loving all the games and I think that the games and exercises really spark their creativity.

I never take the time to write reviews for books but I had to for this one! EVERY activity is great--you don't have to search through picking and choosing. I know this will be an invaluable source for me in teaching drama to both elementary and high school students. Thanks to the author for such a great resource!

I purchased this book before I started teaching creative dramatics in Recreation deprtments teaching K-8. It was wonderful. I loved it. I would reccommend it to every teacher (theatre or not) it has wonderful classroom activities.

When someone plunders Queen Bee's lilacs and steals her nectar, the maid calls in Detective Brown to help the distraught ruler stop the culprit. The upset queen feels so disgruntled that she threatens to have Detective Brown's head if he doesn't solve the mystery quickly. But the case proves most baffling with an old tennis shoe as the only clue.

Several days later, when the queen calls Brown in for a report she threatens him about his head again. With his life on the line, Brown feels motivated to solve the crime. He stays up all night to crack the case. Before he captures the thief he is deceived, almost bested in a swordfight, and nearly outwitted by the crafty crook. But his successful efforts are amply rewarded by a delighted Queen Bee.

The rhyming prose and lyrical feel to this picture book should appeal to young children and the adults who read to them. The bright, jewel-colored illustrations serve up a visual treat for young eyes. Illustrator Pamela Marie Key created enchanting pictures rich with vivid detail. I enjoyed the pictures even more than the well-written who-dunnit about the queen's stolen nectar. The four activity pages of at the end of the book form an appealing addition to a fun little mystery.

This little book gave me a reason to read to my young children. It is a book that begs to be read out loud and there is such a fantastic little story with such attractive art. Great!!!!

It is not often that I fall in love with a book. But I do love this book! It isn't just for kids, it is very fun for adults to read. This terrific story in verse has amazing little characters who fit quite nicely in their little insect world. The lilac tree is a great place to be! Surprise yourself and get a copy.

I am an aunt and have no kids of my own but this little book was recommended to me by a close friend. Love it!!!! This is a very well written children's book. I have oh so much fun reading it to my nieces. Good plot and the rhyming was terrific. I thought Dr. Suess was great. Move over... this author is unbelievably talented. I thoroughly enjoyed reading the story and think it has great characters and a nice ending.

When I found this jewel of a children's book last week on a trip through Kansas, I was struck by the beautiful cover. What a catchy title and then I open it up. Awesome!!! Yes, the art rocks but the story is totally originial and I love Detective Brown. Awesome little dude. Simone, write more of your incredible books. I am a fan for life. Great story and great characters.

I bought this book from the author. This is the meat and potatoes of magick. A must have for any serious practitioner. He has other books as well. Moloch Sorcery rocks!

i bought this book and like it. ive been a member of molochs yahoo groups for sometime and while the man is passionate about what he speaks hes one of the best authorities on magic. he writes in a unique style which is to you not at you. its like hes talking to a friend instead of lecturing me and i like that style.

while books layout is different and the type face is thick, i found it easy going. not sure what others are griping about as i found his book to be to the point. theres no chapters on ethics or karma or any of that preachy stuff you find in some other book. what you get is here's how to do this and that. nothing more and nothing less.

his website offers a lot of free info if your intristed in learning further after youve gottn into this book.

I read the review by "evil genius" and had to respond. Its
a totally moronic use of what 'evil genius" must think is clever
irony. Pragmatic Magics is a great grimoire that I have used a
countless number of times in casting spells and magickal
workings. Often when I know I am missing a point in some
magick, it is this book that I use first. There is a great
section on Herbal Sorcery which I use often. If someone asked
me what book to read first to practice magick, this is the
book I would give them.

I have the "grimoire" and everything in it is legit. It acts as a wonderful companion piece to other works by various authors in my library. I think evil genius can't appreciate salesmanship.

I received this book for review from the Scientists of New Atlantis Inc. in Las Vegas, NV. It is a grimoire and while a bit on the more expensive side, I was impressed with this work for many reasons.

First of all - it's not just a "hard cover" it is a bound book on decent paper. Real binding!!!! Not "trade paper" or having a "harder than usual" cover like so many other publishers use, but a real binding! And the paper wasn't "two grades up from newspaper" but it is real quality paper. The book even smelled of ink!

There is a dust jacket on the book. White glossy cover, with the title, a very "primitive" style graphic of a sorcerer and there is the publisher's information on the reverse, rather than "kudos" for the author or a book blurb promo for the book or author. Very simple style, nicely addressed.

Why so much trouble for a book? To be honest, how would you like your personal grimoire to be printed? On some cheaper paper that will yellow with age, or having a card cover with someone else's graphics? No, your personal grimoire probably is on better paper, in a nice binding of some kind, and you have your pictures in and on the book. Same here, because this is what this book is, a personal grimoire of a sorcerer.

Sorcerer; interesting choice of word for someone who is "self describing" themselves as a "magical practitioner". There is a differentiation here, between someone who is a witch and practices magics and one who has dedicated themselves to the magical arts, is learned and is a very astute practitioner.

There is a lot of "loving care" put into this book. The text is larger print, easy to read, and it can lie open while you go through the many recipes and instructions in the book.

The book opens with some quotes about "sorcery" from some very well known and important authors in this field. There is a notation by Brother Moloch about this being the second edition, and some comments to thank his supporters. Unfortunately, there is no table of contents nor index, but then again, does your personal grimoire have a table of contents or index? Probably not.

The material covered is a good basic primer in "sorcery". It is very applicable to a variety of uses and situations, and contains much material you may not find in all those commercial volumes that may line your shelves. This makes the book valuable immediately from that standpoint.

There are guided meditations, tables of correspondences, small rituals of consecration and discussions on a variety of magical workings. I found his "herb work" to be very informative, and the table of correspondences contains a lot of different information than normally found in the usual sources. This work is indicative of one who is a root worker vs. the usual kitchen witchery resources we are more accustomed to.

There are some great "recipes" for oils and incenses, for both curing and cursing, so refreshing as opposed to all the books out there that preach "goodness and white light". This is not "Wiccan" material but basic magical workings. One must know how the cursing occurs in order to understand how to undo these kinds of things, and this book will show you how it's done. Note that his sources are discussed in this book, and pointed out.

There are some nice instructions on how to do basic meditations, as well as some interesting guided meditations. Actually, there is a lot of basic information in this book that will assist most practitioners in achieving results from spell workings, rituals, dreaming and more. Good advices for having notebooks handy to write in, as well as outlines for including the really important information you need.

There are discussions on tools, elementals, diagrams for magical workings and altar setups,. There is a variety of sources, including African and Norse, for the material included in this book, giving the reader a well rounded view of sorcery and its practices. This book is not limited to the usual sources.

There is a bibliography of some books, with more than the usual "title and author" material. The author comments on the books he lists, commenting on their value to the author and what he thinks of them.

In the final analysis, the author includes his own notations as to the real value of the material included in this book - that is; does it work? He notes the material that does work. And for myself, there is material that I have tried from this book with some amazing results! How many books can you say that about?

There is so much more to this book than I have covered. I have just scratched the surface in this review. This is "working practitioners" book, not just another "handbook" and it is chock full of information that can be easily applied to any practicing witches workings. The understanding that comes from reading someone else's work provides a very key element in our practices - validation of experience!

If you are looking for a really good book on working magic in practical application, this book is worth the extra funds to have in your library. For a bound copy of someone's grimoire of actual experience working with basic formulas and rituals, this book is no more expensive than if you were to bind your own "book of shadows" and present it to the public. boudica
