A virtual open-house tour of outstanding wines and outstanding winemakers in France. More than an introduction to many little-known but estimable wines, this passionate guide dwells on the fascinating people behind every bottle. Especially good on the lesser known regions, like Languedoc Roussillon. An absolutely wonderful way to plunge into France. We've given it a starring role among the guidebooks we leave for people who rent our house there.

if you want to travel in the french vineyards and buy the most originals wines : get this book !

My Rock Record book which was purchased in the 80's is worn, torn, kept in a ziplock bag and still used on a regular basis.
Time for a new, old copy.


Great book, thanks Terry.

I am the author of these books and they are still being published.
These books on the amazon site are all from the 80's and i have had 3 out during the 90's

This is the most information anyone could ever get in one glance. If anyone has found a guide as easy to read as this one, let me know.

It is now 1999 and my husband and I STILL use this dog-eared Allstate Campground Directory because of its thoroughness and ease of use. Instead of paragraph write ups on each campground, which is laborious to read while driving, this guide simply lists campgrounds and uses a checklist of accomodations. Directions are excellent. We're afraid to throw it away.

This wonderful resource on contemporary sailing vessels is published annually by ASTA, the American Sail Training Association. You can also get a copy free if you join ASTA (a worthy organization, if you are interested in sail training or traditional sailing ships). ...

The ASTA directory provides a comprehensive listing of traditional sailing ships in the US and abroad. Many of the ships listed offer sail training programs; others carry passengers for hire. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in going to sea as a sail training student, or looking for work in traditional sail.

This is an excellent book. Everyone who is interested in sail training or tall ships should own a copy. It helped me find my way around and I am very gratefull to the author for spending the time to put together such a complete and comprehensive listing of sail training vessels. The contact information for the vessels is really what sets this book apart, because it really wouldn't be very helpfull if I read about a sail training ship that I wanted more information on, and then couldn't get in touch with them.

Hey! This book is the BEST! Sandra's sites deserve to be documented and this book really shows the best of them, including two of mine. Buy this book! It's the best! Sandra is the BEST!!! :) I love ya Sandy!

This internet guide is really wonderful. Not only does it list the names of the websites and their URLs, but it also provides some wickedly funny descriptions of some of the sites. It's humorous without being unkind, informative without being boring -- in a nutshell, it's fantastic. A must-own for any Sandra Bullock fan.

If you have kids (or babysit them like I do) it's never too early to begin college planning. I wish this book had been around when I was prepping for higher education (yes, I'm from the dark ages, friends). There isn't a better book on the market when it comes to the fine art of securing scholarship money. And like my young charges, women of the U.S.A need to unite in an on-going struggle to be recognized by the university of your choice. Good luck ladies.

The world didn't begin with Adam, Eve and the PC with static IP's. In the land before time (Terminals with Internet and Monsterous E-commerce), you discovered various scholarships to apply for from books, magazines, and the news media. Students (like me) spent hours apon hours in 'scholarship listings' xeroxing every possibility that we would owe the government less after we graduated college.

Back when I started college (1998), the 'de facto' standard was this book by Daniel Cassidy. One year, a few of fellow High School students attended colleges out-of-state for free. Well, my guidence counselor fully believed in the power in this book.

Now, I'm out of school for three years and am starting to share my secrets on how I finish college for free (search for my name to read more on my website, if interested).

Long story short, this book is the standard in 'manual' scholarship searches. It features compact and succint listings seperated by your major and a section (general) that any student can qualify for. The print is readable, and it gives you the basic requirements for each scholarship along with contact information.

BUY THIS BOOK EACH YEAR UNTIL YOU GRADUATE! For the minimal cost of this book, the rewards you will get easily are reimbursed. The choice fore me is a no-brainer.

Do yourself some justice and get this book today; unless you want to pay 7% of 50k.

This book has it all. If you are looking for a particular artist, gallery, state by state list, this is the book for you. Sellen's descriptions of the artists' works are very informative. Although there are no photos, it's easy to imagine the artwork. Many of the artists can be contacted directly and even by phone in some instances. I highly recommend this publication. It has it all.

this impeccably researched book is the definitive guide to the field of self-taught/outsider/folk/ (whatever you want to call it) art...if you buy one guide, make this the one (and get the new bibliography by the same authors to go with it) this is my travel and research bible

Working as an information and referral (I & R) professional for over 20 years, I always found the Self-Help Directory an invaluable resource. The latest edition does not disappoint. On the second day of having a copy of the new edition, we turned to it first when we needed to make a referral for a Grandparents Caring for Grandchildren question. As I expected, I found a number of resources right away. The book is laid out in an easy to use format, separated by county. And there are pages and pages of national resources as well. The index is easy to use and comprehensive.

The reference staff of our library loves this resource and always keeps it handy in our Ready Reference section right by the reference desk.

Buy this book if you make referrals. It's a fantastic resource.

As a member of a maternal and child health non-profit organization in New Jersey, there are many instances when New Jersey residents contact our agency looking for resources and support groups. This Directory is an amazing source of current, relevant information on numerous topics covering all counties in New Jersey (also International agencies), along with contacts, phone numbers and website references. It enables anyone in our organization to respond with immediacy and accuracy to almost any request for information from the public. This book provides recommendations to support groups throughout NJ on many health issues and always includes links for the parents or health care providers to find more information. I have relied on this resource for years (and it is always updated). Every public service agency in New Jersey should have one of these!!

This book is quite good, even though it's about 4 years old right now, many things are still true. Some companies have turned the corner such as Citigroup, but overall a must for everyone who wants to know about how their spending at certain companies gets put back into or against the GLBT community.

Smart Spending is one of those books you didn't know you neededuntil it appeared. And thank God it has. Within its pages the moderngay man or lesbian learns just where to funnel whatever money iscoming into the household---lots or little. The advice here is smart and easy to grasp. Smart Spending will be the book everyone in my circle gets for their birthday this year. Thanks for the help, Grant!

Now in a fully updated and expanded second edition, The Sourcebook To Public Record Information profiles more than 20,000 record keeping agencies including county courts, real estate recording offices, state agencies, and federal courts. Here detailed are addresses, phone numbers, fax numbers, web addresses, access procedures and restrictions, fees, turnaround times, and more. The Sourcebook To Public Record Information is an essential, core reference for librarians, background investigators, journalists, attorneys, genealogists, law enforcement officials, private investigators, policy makers, pre-employment screeners, and academic researchers.

I've worked with public records for some time and have bought many books . . . some good and some bad. This is the best I've come across. The information is current and the format is easy to use.

The depth of information provided, particularly in the county court and state agency sections, is very comprehensive. This book provides more locations and more details than anything else I've seen and I have them all.

If you work with public records, forget the other guides and put your money here . . . you won't be disappointed
