The seller described the book accurately except for the smell. Someone at some point in time had marked out something on the inside cover with one of those industrial-strength black permanent markers (the ones that are one step above a Sharpie). It stank to high heaven. I had to get a razor blade and cut a rectangle of the paperback cover out because the smell was so bad. But otherwise the book was in fine condition.

A friend at work recommended this book and I have already learned so much from it. It is just a terrific resource from a novice to a more advanced runner. highly recommended, an easy read.

I was very disappointed with this book. The information was outdated and the section on women's running was inaccurate.

Great stuff - a workable, practical guide that will suit beginners and seasoned runners alike. A really worthwhile purchase and I'd recommend it to anyone who wants to improve their running experience and remain injury-free.

Love Jeff Galloway's approach to training injury free. This book is great for all levels of running. I refer to it often.

The three stars are for James Spader's sexy speaking voice. I wasn't all that fond of the story but picturing the handsome Spader reading it, and listening to him was a real pleasure! I wish he narrated other books!

This is a great thick hard cover book filled with short stories by Dean Koontz. He is entertaining & suspenseful as usual. If you don't want to have to commit yourself to a long novel, then this book is perfect! It's also great if you don't have a lot of space considering you get lots of little stories in one place. I am a huge fan of Koontz. His older works are far superior to the newer stuff of the past 10 years or so. This is a must have!

In this book, you will find a story entitled, "Chase". This is one of those rare stories that make the entire work worth purchasing. The character development is strong enough to elicit tears from the reader. You're only disappointmet is that this story was a novella, or short story, and you will mourn that it had to end. THAT is always a good sign..........enjoy!

If this book consisted only of the short story KITTENS, I would still recommend it, no matter the cost. When I reached the ending of that story, I was so frightened, I literally threw the book across the room, just like you might see in a horror movie or something. The other stories in the collection were great, but Kittens is one that showed a dark side to Koontz I had never seen before. I enjoyed that extra dark look into his soul... If you pick this book up, you simply MUST read KITTENS!

Strange highways

This is a twisted story about a man that must confront his past and gets a second chance by choosing the highway road he didn't take 20 years earlier. It will take him back to when he was 20 years old and will enter new people to help him along the way. He is able to rewind for a few minutes until he gets it right. It was a very short story. A bit too descriptive for me, I felt like the story dragged.

The Black Pumpkin

I could see this in Tales of the Crypt. You get what you give. Very good story about being good and being evil. The choice is ultimately up to you!

Miss Attila the Hun

A great story that Love does conquer all. I loved the storyline that this teacher was able to protect her children she taught and the town she loved to live in.

Down in the Darkness

What would you do if you came in contact with a door that just appeared everytime someone was being mean to you? Would you use that door to the cellar to your advantage? Would you let the "things" take what you could not stand anymore? When would it end? Loved this one! I wish I had a cellar door like this!

Snatcher

When evil encounters something even eviler than oneself. What happens? Will it survive? This is about a young man who loves to steal and to will steal at any cost. Enter a fragile old woman and her purse. What lays beneath her purse is bound to cure the thief!

Trapped

Total Sci-Fi and a bit cartoonish. What happens when the BioLab up the road finds out its inhabitants escaped. Will mankind survive or will they triumph?

Bruno

What a strange character Bruno is. He has hands with power to heal and powers that enable him to mend with ones mind. How much invasion of ones thoughts is too much? Is it worth letting yourself go and giving yourself 100 percent?

Hardshell

I really liked this. Total Sci-Fi feel. A dark creature is on the loose and only one cop - hardshell can apprehend him. What happens with Hardshell comes face to face with this thing??? Very good story!

Kittens

Very short story that goes like this - what goes around comes around. A little girl wants to know why God always takes her cats kittens. The parents respond that its Gods world and up to him. They also have twins and take a liking to them more than this little girl. She hides one night in the barn to find out what happens to the kittens. Absolutely frightening! But the little girl has the last word............

The night of the storm

What happens when man and robot come face to face. Who will be the victor. That is what this story is about. It puts us in the minds of the robots, how they feel, how they live, how they move. How mankind wants to extinguish them. Very good story.

"Harlot's Ghost" is a major novel by a major, and unique American novelist, Norman Mailer. Originally published in 1992, it was a return to form for Mailer after many years in which he was better known for his non-fiction and his highly public boozing and brawling lifestyle. While it is worthy of being celebrated for many not inconsiderable virtues, it is also seriously flawed: overlong, plodding and inconclusive (the novel closes with the words "To Be Continued" but it never was.) It is probably best enjoyed by someone who shares some of the author's obsessions with the CIA, the Kennedy assasination and the ideals associated with male vigor that the generation that came of age during World War II adhered to prior to the sexual revolution of the 60s.

It is a fictionalized account of the CIA, focusing on the years between 1955 and 1963, culiminating in the assasination of President Kennedy. (As a point of reference, Robert deNiro's recent film "The Good Shephard" covers similar ground.) It's sweeping narrative encompasses a number of factual tales along the way, including the spying tunnel built by the CIA under East Berlin in the 50's and the book's centerpiece, the CIA's involvement in the Bay of Pigs fiasco in 1961, the CIA's bungled attempt at an invasion of Cuba to foment a counter-revolution against Castro. It is informed by the extensive airing of the CIA's penchant for "dirty tricks" that became public in the wake of the Watergate scandal.

Mailer's novelization covers this factual ground in a relatively entertaining fashion using a fictinal narrator named Herrick (Harry) Hubbard. He is himself a CIA operative and witness to many of these real-life events. Hubbard is a Company insider, to the manor born through both his father and his godfather (whose code name is Harlot of the title), both legendary OSS agents during WWII who are then present at the creation of the American spy agency built to contest the Soviet KGB at the outset of the Cold War. Harlot is modeled on the famous CIA superspy James Jesus Angleton, and Harry Hubbard doing his bidding is Harlot's ghost of the title.

There are a number of serious problems with the book which are perhaps accentuated by that tantalizing "To Be Continued." The narrative arc of Hubbard's education into both his chosen profession and the erotic mysteries of sex is episodic & inconclusive. Hubbard's memoir is awkwardly fashioned mainly from a clandestine correspondnce he carries on with Harlot's attractive young wife, Kittredge, who also happens to be employed by the CIA. The voluminous and unctuous letter-writing campaign is fatal to the book. The secret letters are explicit acts of betrayal and confession for both Harry and Kittredge. But instead of having an edge that sparkles, the letters fizzle and our interest in the authors wanes. The correspondence is downright boring in large patches, and elsewhere strains the credularity of the Reader -- who are these people? -- in many other passages. Neither Harry or Kittredge ever develop into characters with any spark of life. They are not believable. The Reader never musters much sympathy for these rather wooden, one-dimensional protagonists. Another problem is they are really on the edge of most of the action, never comprehending the bigger picture, murky as it is in this nether-world of spooks (real and imnagined) and double agents. Mailer labors mightily to make this creaky narrative apparatus work, but it doesn't quite.

Numerous real personages put in both cameo and extended appearances, among them E. Howard Hunt (later of Watergate fame), Allen Dulles, J Edgar Hoover, Robert Kennedy, Wild Bill Harvey (who unmasked the high ranking British double agent Kim Philby), and a juicy, fictionalized version of Judith Campbell Exner, the beautiful and sexy mistress of both JFK and mob kingpin Sam Giancana (by way of Frank Sinatra). The CIA's tragic-comic experiments with LSD, its collusion with organized crime to assasinate Castro, the extensive wire-tapping on US citizens performed by FBI under J Edgar Hoover are well-documented events that are woven into the plot. In Mailer hands, it is a rich brew, even if it all doesn't quite come together. The narrative gels in many sections as young Harry learns his tradecraft during a stint in Uruguay in the late '50s or makes a daring midnight raid on the coast of Cuba during the 1962 missile crisis that brought the US and the Soviet Union to the brink of nuclear war.

But the length of the book, its many sodden passages, and its lack of any sort of a coherent conclusion may cause you to wonder -- a 1000+ pages later -- whether it was worth the ride.

Written in the form of a 1,408-page autobiography of its central character, Herrick (Harry) Hubbard, Harlot's Ghost (1991) is Norman Mailer's (1923) fictional chronicle of the CIA. Following the mysterious death of Harry's mentor, Hugh Montague (a.k.a "Harlot"), through a series of flashback anecdotes and letters, Mailer's masterpiece follows Hubbard's early career in the CIA up to the assassination of JFK. Both his father, Cal, and Montague are senior CIA figures who recruit Harry into the Agency. Harry not only observes the Bay of Pigs fiasco and the Cuban missile crisis as they develop, but he also shares his lover, Modene Murphy, with both Frank Sinatra and with President Kennedy. At the time of Harlot's death, Harry is married to Harlot's beautiful and brilliant ex-wife, Hadley Kittredge Gardiner. After a long romantic history together (revealed mostly through their correspondence), Kitteredge confesses to Harry that she is in love with another man, his Agency nemesis Dix Butler. Although the novel ends with Kennedy's assassination and without ever returning to the present, Mailer promises a "To be continued" sequel that will hopefully tie up the loose ends of Harlot's Ghost, of which there are many. More than a novel about the CIA, this is a spellbinding novel about its author's obsession with a great white whale: The Mind of America.

G. Merritt

The characters draw one in, the historical details are fascinating, and the prose is well beyond just artful. But then, from Mailer artful prose is expected. It most certainly does require an investment of time, but that investment is rewarded.

This post-modern novel by Mailer is inarguably the most informed novel of the CIA. This is not callow, veneered, cinema-informed CIA, or any of the "tell-all" non-fiction embellishments of CIA activity. This is a psychological study of the necessary duality of agents, teased from the central soul of the duality of humankind. Mailer has a comprehensive insider's knowledge of the structure and workings of the CIA.

Paradox lives on every layer; the characters in this fiction, other than the main characters, are people such as Howard Hunt, Che Guevara, Marilyn Monroe, John and Robert Kennedy, Allen Dulles--and the list goes on. Mailer cheekily provides notes at the end of the book stating that changing the names to fictional ones would cause readers to say, "That is really Howard Hunt," or, "John F Kennedy," etc., "He just changed their names." By using their known names, he expects readers to say the opposite. There is a very thin membrane separating historical fiction from fact. With cozening and cunning guile, Mailer writes about cozening and cunning in the CIA.

The prose is gorgeous, with sharp imagery, layered references, wry observations, and poetic paragraphs.

This novel also has Mailer's most fully realized female character, Kittredge. She is a CIA psychologist specializing in duality of spirit in both academics and in her career. The public self, the secret self and the inner conflicts that cloud an agent's ethics and takes over his soul are well-developed in Kittredge, as well as in the characters of Harlot and Harry.

This book contains the intricacies of Cold War politics and treachery. I was deeply fraught after reading about Operation Mongoose (as well as other subversive operations) in all its explication. It allowed me to connect the dots better on the enigma of 9/11. I was deeply disturbed, enlightened, and exhilarated to read a colossal, mammoth, unafraid novel about how trespasses into other minds and other countries are accomplished; this does not exclude state-sponsored terrorism by our government.

This is astonishing literature and a spine-tingling filter remover.

Eric Roth (screenwriter of Forrest Gump and The Insider), heavily based the movie, The Good Shepherd, on material from Harlot's Ghost.

paid by the word! This book is well over 1100 pages too long!
Your time can be better spent elsewhere!

I just received this book in the mail and opened it up. I am a little disappointed the book I received is a "First Edition" where the copyright is 2000. If I understand this correctly, the information in the book is "as of the 2000"; eight years ago.

I bought this intending to use it along with my recently opened E*Trade account. I now expect there to be significant differences between what the book is showing and what the current E*Trade website looks like. If the book is just sticking to the fundamentals this will probably turn out just fine; time will tell.

I wish I had been able to tell the year when the book was published before the decision was made to purchase but that is information that needs to be added to the Amazon website and not a criticism of this specific book.

I can't believe how people criticize Chritos Cotsakos. Sayingthat this book was just for publicity is ridiculous. I was surprisedwhile reading this great book how he did mention other competitors ofhis. This is a quote from his book, "At this point you probablythink I'm going to tell you to go directly to [Etrade] and sign up foran account with Etrade. Even though I am very, very proud of what wehave accomplished, I'm not going to do that. The whole point of thisbook is to empower you. The worst thing you can do when managing ourown money is to blindly follow someone else's advice-no matter whoseit is. If I thought that was a good idea, I wouldn't have bothered towrite this book. Managing your own money online is a way of takingcontrol of your actions, your research, your information, yourdecisions, and your own account. It's not a form of gambling. Makingfinancial decisions without knowing what you're doing is a form ofgambling. Instead of telling you what to do, I'm going to give yousome guidelines to help you select the best possible financial serviceprovider, and then set you loose on the Internet to make the rightdecision-for yourself. So, how do you evaluate and choose a goodfinancial service provider? Start with what I call 'the six Ss':security, speed, simplicity, service, sharing, and scalability. Thebest financial service providers do all of these very well." Nowof course he does mention how great Etrade is but if it was my book, Iwould to. Anyways, the book is great for almost anyone. The book ispretty simple in the beginning, but it helps later on in the book. Thechapters are as follow:

This book is great for most people and he just explains how to readstock information and what everything means. It's not an equation ofhow to find the next Wal-Mart or Cisco. I don't know how people saythat this book won't help you at all.

This book gives you the nuts and bolts about trading and investing on E*Trade. It also covers investment tips and references to use, such as margin trading. The book does not tell you what to invest in but how to manage your own money. Great starter book for E*Trade investers and investors who think they know what they are doing but do not.

This book was completely unfulfilling. It's hard to imagine a book that could be less useful for investors. Perhaps Costakos assumes that his potential customers are simpletons who don't know how the Internet works. Even so, his consistent proselytizing for his own online brokerage will annoy both neophytes and experienced traders alike.

As others have stated the book is little more than a 200 page advertisement for e-trade.

I read the book because I know very little about investing in the stock market and I would like to learn.

Even as god awful new to the stock market I am, I learned almost nothing from the book. Many of his descriptions of the way things are "Why do companies go public?" were oversimplified to the point of being wrong.

I went into the book with a bunch of questions and left will all of the same questions.

At best the only thing the book does is convince you to invest money in the stock market through E-trade.

If you are going to trade online, the $13 per trade commission E-Trade charges you is much higher than the $7/trade rate offered by Scottrade, or the $10/trade Ameritrade offers but you won't find that in the book.

If you want to learn about the stock market, I would recommend instead Jim Cramer's 'Mad Money' or 'Sane Investing in an Insane World'.

If you managed to make it here to read this review then it is a fair bet you already know everything 'It's Your Money' has to say. The book is really that worthless.

This is a fantastic read. I'm reviewing this book about 3/4 of the way complete. It is very interesting for me to read about how dogs communicate with their world. the author also inserts many interesting examples to convey the message. Overall, a very good book for a first-time reader about dog communication. Though the author does a fantastic job introducing the subject, I wish the book was a little more indepth. At least, I find myself wanting to know more about the subject. Perhaps another book by the author....

As the owner of an established pet care business, and the parent of a rescue dog with severe aggression issues, I've read just about every book on dogs you can imagine. How To Speak Dog is without a doubt the single most informative and interesting book relating to dogs that I've ever read. Coren's detailed and precise explanation of canine body language has helped me aniticipate and prevent acts of aggression by my troubled dog a countless number of times; the book has opened my eyes to all the communicating our client's dogs have been doing with us and each other, and we've been able to resolve a number of behavioral issues with our clients simply because we are able to understand what the dog is telling us about why it does what it does. The book is also an enjoyable read; remarkably, Coren manages to make reading ultra detailed scientific information pleasant, not tedious. Every dog owner should have this book on their coffee table, and every dog professional should have it in a holster at their hip.

I love the fact that I can begin to understand what my dogs are saying! It's like learning sign language...only it's dog language. I have been able to apply a lot of what I've learned in this book to convey what I want from my dogs. They really do seem to understand me better, as well as me understanding them. Wonderful book. Every dog owner needs to read this book. It would make a great gift for a dog owner.

With so many dog training books out there, it is refreshing to find one that discusses meaningfully how to communicate with your pet. If you're looking to dive deeper into this issue, check out "Adam's Task: Calling Animals by Name," by Vicki Hearne. Combining animal training with philosophy and literary criticism, it offers excellent insight into how animals communicate and respond to humans. The Atlantic Monthly called it "A fascinating and often surprising discussion of animal-human encounters." If you are an animal trainer-- or even just an animal lover--it's definitely worth reading.

Really like this book. I found this book a great read and it gave me a greater understanding and real incite into the canine's mind. For all those things your dog does and you don't know why or maybe you think you do, but you were wrong. This is definetely a MUST READ for any dog owner!

I obtained these cards to assist me in learning gross anatomy prior to starting medical school in the Fall. These cards work well along with other resources, e.g., Netter's Atlas, Gray's Anatomy, Primal Pictures 3D, etc. By themselves, however, the cards are NOT sufficient enough to master the topics of anatomy, but allow you to quiz yourself while you are away from home.

awww I saw the price drop last week. For these few days I was finding something to add along with the whole purchase. Finally after finding it today, the price has increased back already.... =(

Awesome! Service great arrived in timely fashion. This product is more than advertised. Very pleased.

Gross anatomy is, well, gross both in the decaying cadavers and in the huge amount of things you need to learn. These flashcards contain virtually the same info as the Netter's Atlas but condense it into a more compact size to carry around with you. In addition to the flashcard style of presentation of the labeling of the plates on the flashcards, there is also usually a small blurb of additional information that ties it all together on the flashcard as well. They are pretty well organized, but they are also physically of high quality. The cards are laminated and can be held together with the provided metal ring, so they are relatively resistant to damage, which makes it convenient to take to the gym, etc. Definitely a handy thing to have for gross.

These flashcards are great for reviewing anatomy, especially if you are using the Netter's book in class. I'm in med school, and they cover all the important structures. They are not a substitute for studying cadavers though, if that's what your test is on.

If you are into the Future of Marketing do yourself a favor and get this book. I read a lot of books and this is one of the best marketing books I have ever gad the pleasure to gobble up while on some airplane going from one speaking gig to another. To illustrate: I am pretty ruthless with my high-lighter in one hand, and pen in the other, and by the time I am through I can always tell which book really got me going, simply by the amount of high-lighting I have done (or not, in most cases). And my copy of Meatball Sundae was YELLOW, all the way through. Every single page a real keeper, with morsels such as "Coca Cola is no longer the most popular soft drink in the country. The most popular drink is "Other", none of the above. The mass of choices defeats the biggest hits." and "The 'operating system' for marketers is now fundamentally changing. It doesn't matter how big your market share is today. If your product and your marketing are optimized for the older model, you will be defeated by the relentless tide of the New Marketing and the products and services that are designed for it"

Plus I love his writing: easy to read, to the point, structured paragraphs, clear. So, for once, forget the feeds, the tweets, the podcasts... read a book. This book.

I enjoyed this book very much but more importantly it gives me a different way to look at my marketing - or lack of in some cases. The ideas are principles we have known or heard but did we follow them. By Seth's innovative way of thinking and relating an idea it is both simple and complex at the same time. Easy reading but lots of ideas to put into place.
Pamela Waugh

This book offers a good bird's eye perspective to the marketing of today and the future. The "cheese has been moved" from old way to new.

Definetely worth reading and contemplating your current strategy!

I've always been a fan of Seth's so I had high expecations for this book. While I don't believe Seth is great at showing new trends, he does a wonderful job framing up the trends or learnings and provides wonderful examples to support them. I work for an advertising/PR agency and have sent copies of Meatball Sundae to all of my clients. Really very great example of new marketing, which as he points out, doesn't work when combined with traditional manufacturing organizations. I'd strongly recommend this book.

Great current concise review about marketing within the net. The book has some great points, although we will always need meatballs. As the author stated its pricey for the size of book, but for me a concise book to the point and little BS saves me time and money.

Chris has written an excellent guide to email marketing. The tools he provides in the book have been very beneficial in helping me to achieve a stronger email marketing program.

This is a must read for any marketer who is looking to learn about email marketing / online marketing. The book is filled with marketing tactics for the small business to the enterprise marketer. Real life stories that can be applied to any email marketing campaign.

Chris Baggot's Email Marketing by The Numbers is packed full of practical knowledge and real world examples of email marketing that works. Chris has an extensive knowledge of Internet marketing and demonstrates again and again his deep understanding of online tactics to convert prospects into lifelong customers.

Internet marketing is driven by data and data is king. Email Marketing by the Numbers provides the reader with tools to measure results and act accordingly. It teaches database marketing fundamentals that can be used in all marketing endeavors. Highly recommended for both beginning email marketers and Internet marketing veterans.

*very detailed
*goes through the entire process
*doesn't leave you with more questions than before you read it
*gives you the steps needed to follow along
*very valuable information about spammers

I have been making an awesome living for the past 5 years using the internet and creating databases of customers for my company and interacting with them is the oxygen to my revenue stream.

As much as I think myself as a well read web guy, this book not only schooled me about how to grow my customer list but the most important aspect is what to say to your customer's, much like a nerdy guy needs help on a first date with pretty girl and keeping her interested long after.

There aren'y many great books that will:

1. Be brutally honest on what it takes to make money on the Net
2. Actually give you a hype free(hear me, Joe Vitale and others) hand held instructions on being effective using the internet/email to market your business profitably.

My book has been ear-marked, written in, and full of side notes that I may need another copy. This is when you know the book is great and worth your hard earned money.

Thanks for opening my eyes and teaching me what I thought I knew.

The book was published posthumously, and you immediately understand why by reading the first part, about Satan on holiday on earth, writing letters with his impressions of the place back to his pals in heaven. As with most collections, this one is a bit uneven, with several parts you may want to skip, or that have lost their appeal because of the different time we live in. Nonetheless, many of these pages represent Twain at its most ironic, penetrating, witty self.

I have a had an old paperback copy of this for 20 years now, so this copy is just a "newer version". I fell in love with MT as a result of this work that I originally read in 1984, and have not taken religion, or anything about it seriously since! It doesn't get any better then this!

This book has sincerely changed my life in a very positive way. It is an intraspective look into basic beliefs and conceptions (often misconceptions) about religion and discusses the big questions like "If God is all powerful and all good then why does he allow innocent children to contract unspeakable malodies and horrific diseases?". Growing up I always had questions about religion and why beliefs and teachings were held to be true--now I realize that I'm not alone in my thoughts and feelings. This book breaks down the bible and seeks to make the reader think logically about its teachings. Whether you are an ordained minister or simply curious like I was, this book will impact your life forever and improve your critical thinking skills--I promise you will not be disappointed!

This book was a gift and we had it sent to another address. No fault of Amazon's but the book delivery is very slow. The recipient assured us it is in fine shape and she is very happy with it. She says it's a very interesting perspective on the topic and is good for anyone trying to expand their knowledge.

I picked this up solely for the first story, Letters from the Earth, but I ended up reading through the entire book and find I have a new appreciation for Twain's humor and satire. Letters was very entertaining, although the religiously inclined may not find it funny at all. However, I'm not, and I did! Some other portions worth a read include Eve's autobiography (revealing!), an amusing critique of James Fenimore Cooper's writing style, a parody of an etiquette manual, and The Damned Human Race, which demonstrates the 'descent' of man. Twain died in 1910, and this collection of essays and short stories was not published until 1962.

Oh, and Mark Twain referring to "hot young blossoms" amused me to no end. :)

If you want to break into writing, you need this book. I would even argue that buying the more updated ones would be a good investment, but I think this one is a great start.

This book one confirmed and validated the knowledge I had aquired from other reading sources. It teaches you to write your inquiry letters and chose a publisher in line with your topic. A helpful source for authors wishing to manifest your goal to have your book published.

This book has it all. Not just the markets and their pertinent contact information, but, also advice on query letters and formatting and anything else you'll need to know. I cannot recommend this book any more highly, it is a priceless resource for a writer.

While the market's themselves don't change much from one year to another, the Writer's Market is filled with great information from writing tips to new markets. Anyone who is even thinking of becoming a writer should invest it this book.

No writer's going to make a penny unless he knows where to submit his work. The Writer's Market is a absolute essential on every working writer's bookshelf, and it's highly recommended that writers update their version each year when the new edition comes out, because the market is always changing.
