I can't help it. I like the gossip, the scandals, all the fal-de-ral with Royal watching. Not just the Brits, but this quality little photo bio book piqued my interest. Just about 80 photos covering William's life from opulent birth through tragic adolescence in 1998, one year after the demise of his mum, Princess Diana. Pix of trips, sports, school, family and semi-private precious reflections cast deep into his sad eyes.

This is not just a *Tiger Beat* oooooo & ahhh, look at him book. Quite introspective as to what a royals life entails even at an early age. But, ok, he IS cute too! Authoress Valerie Garner interjects interesting factoids. Enjoyable addition to bio collections.

Prince William deserves ongoing mention as a photo-biography for all ages: it focuses on the young prince from birth to adolescence, and provides a visual display of the young man which will appeal to any with a special affection for England.

When I got this book, I figured it would be a teenybopper book that gushes about him and how hot and stoic he is. Well, I was off by a HUGE amount. This book has a lot of rare pictures and good information. I would recommend it to anyone interested in British royalty.

I love this book! My aunt brought it back from England. It has great pix and doesn't just focus on girls' opinions! Email me if you agree!

This book has lots of pix of Prince William from toddler to teen. Overall:beautiful and attractive. valuable for money.

I promised my grandson books about rocks for his birthday. I was very suprised about this book for the price. It is very, very, good book for children. He is 7 years old and is very happy.
A very happy Grandma!

All DK Eyewitness books are fabulous. If you are a classroom teacher you must attempt to purchase all of them and have them available in your classroom library. My students love to read these books and use them as references.

A great book, but I gave it to my granddaughter just as she began her quest for infor about chemistry after a few years of loving rocks. She is six.

My son is six years old and this book captivated him for a good four nights, a few pages a night, for his bedtime story. It is very visually appealing with vividly colored pictures and thick glossy pages. It is written very well, easy for a young child to understand, yet filled with information about rocks and minerals. I have to read it to my child as he's not an independent reader yet, but an independent reader would also really enjoy this book. It is made for children but not at all "babyish." A great way to either learn about rocks and minerals, or introduce a child to non fiction.

I'm very impressed with this book and will be purchasing more DK Eye Wonder titles. I've looked at their other titles and they all look like wonderful books.

This book is easy to ready and understand. The photos are clear and the content is great. My son takes this book everyplace and shares it with friends who also enjoy it. This book doesn't dissapoint.

I loved this book as a child -- even though by then Neil Armstrong's real life adventures had made the science fiction obsolete. A good story is a good story, and kids will love the brave and resourseful cat.

The "Space Cat" books are truly timeless adventures of a curious cat who has been stealing hearts for 2 generations. And Ruthven Todd's creativity is sparkling.

I have been searching for the book "Space Cat Meets Mars" for decades. If "Space Cat" is the same book, I read it in the 1960's when in elementary school, and renewed it as many times as the library would allow. As the years passed, I never forgot what an incredible impact this story had on me as a child. Now after more than 30 years, I don't recall precisely the story line or details, yet I do recall the book as part of a fond childhood memory.

The "Space Cat" series is my most favorite reading from my Elementary school years!!! I, too, renewed as often as permitted, read them to my cousins, and whoever else would listen. As an adult, I've read them to my children, and have been searching for a way to have them as part of our family library. This is great!!!

Space Cat, Space Cat Visits Venus, Space Cat Meets Mars, and Space Cat and the Kittens, are all favorites from my childhood, and my adulthood. I rechecked them to read to my children and would like to have the rest to keep my copy of Space Cat company in my private library and to share with my grandchildren.

This is a very special book and a wonderful present to give anyone. I have given this book to my daughter's teacher, a good friend and a sibling. It's story is universal and the message is wonderful. The drawings and layout of the book are genious. Highly recommend it.

By far...the best book ever written. Great gift item for baby showers or for a young child.

This is a gorgeous book with a beautiful story.
I read this book aloud to my guests at my own bridal luncheon and it was a hit.

I plan to buy several as gifts.
Buy this book for yourself and for those you care about.
Do not pass this book up. It is a gem.

We are using this book in lieu of the traditional Guest Book at our wedding. There are lots of blank spaces in the margins that guest can use to sign it "yearbook style" and it makes a nice book to have on a coffee table after the wedding. Much more unique than a plain guest book.

The Story of the Heart is very moving. The art is beautiful and the story is wonderful. I've given this as an early Valentine's Day present to my wife, daughter, and mother, and they all love it. So do I.

This book gave a lot of tips for being an effective substitute teacher. It is chuckful of interesting tidbits to help newbies in the field. I particularly liked that the professional standpoint that it took on how to make a good name for yourself as a substitute teacher. It is a very positive book. It is easy to read because the writer does not talk above you or at you rather at your level. Nor is it like the typical self help books that tend to drive the reader into overload with all sorts of new information. I would say it is more along the lines of reasoning and wisdom when it comes to teaching children. I appreciated the perspectives that Barbara offered in her book. They gave a lot of food for thought. I enjoyed reading it.

I found the book to be very helpful - and it based on real experiences in the classroom as a substitute teacher.

I purchased this book for my sister. She was starting a job as a sub. She went in with the book in hand on her first day. She had a free period first and read some of the book. When she got to the first class that she had to teach, she implemented some of what she read immediately. She said it was "perfect timing". The book is great.

This is by far the best book to get you started or keep you inspired as a SUB. It has both serious and light-hearted advice that is practical and easy to implement. Lots of life lessons learned by the author are related in a simple way so that you feel as if you are chatting with an experienced teacher who is giving you all the best secrets they have. Loved it!

It is amazing that it has taken this long for someone to put together a "bible" for the substitute teacher. Without a doubt, Prof. Pressman has made a major contribution to the teaching profession. As someone that has been a teacher, counselor, adminstrator and education consultant, it is clear that this book needs to be required reading for anyone that plans to step into a classroom as a substitute. "BRAVO"

I've only read the first 38 pages of the 200 in the book and am extremely happy with the information presented so far. It has been well worth the money. Ms. Holmes is answering all the questions I have in my head about the good and bad of starting a consignment shop. I will eagerly read the rest of it tonight!!

I purchased this manual before I opened. I'm postive that Kate's advice saved me from making lots of mistakes. 2 years later, I'm still referring to my manual from time to time.

I HAVE NEVER FELT COMPELED TO WRITTE A REVIEW BUT THIS BOOK IS A MUST, FOR ANYONE CONSIDERING OF OPENING THEIR OWN STORE.I HAD PREVIOSLY BOUGHT 5 OTHER RETAIL "HOW TO" BOOKS FROM WELL KNOWN AUTHORS AND OR PUBLISHERS. BUT NOT ONE CAME CLOSE TO HAVING ALL OF THIS INFORMATION IN IT. I HATE TO PROMOTE THIS BOOK TOO MUCH BECAUSE I DONT WANT MORE COMPETITION OUT THERE.

It funny how you think you know it all, and have all these great ideas, and then, someone comes along who knows so much more. Well, this manual had an answer for every question I had! And to top it off, she has to most awesome website where you can go and learn more. Believe me, if you are opening a consignment or resale store, buying this manual will save you money, time and heartache. I pull mine out almost weekly. And my hubby is getting tired of me saying "Yeah, but Kate's manual says....."

Her words are echoing in my head with every decision I make in regards to my store.

From Kate Holmes,author, March 2008: The 20th Anniversary Edition of TGtbT is brand-new and ready for readers! Now includes even more info, now 212 pages. It now has the Resalers' Financial Survey, which previously had to be ordered separately on the TGtbT site, the 9 Necessities of Customer Service, and more detailed record-keeping tips. PLUS an entire chapter on Buying Outright, discussions on buyers' fees, Preferred Consignor Clubs, Switching seasons, and more. THIS is the manual you need. No generalities but real, specific, down-to-earth advice on opening and operating your own resale and/or consignment shop, no matter what merchandise you plan to carry.

This book is great! I love it already and I have only had it a week. I injured my knee skiing over a year ago and am still having knee pain, stiffness and instability. Physio was costing lots and achieving less. I highly recommend it. Be prepared for long descriptions! I have only done the excercises three times and my knee already feels substantially better! Thanks Sandy!

After doing a lot of PT for my knee and going nowhere, I decided to buy 3 books about knees. I liked this one very much and also "The knee crisis handbook", which has explanations about several types of knee injury. My only complain is that some asana explanations (Warrior, Triangle) talk about the front knee, and says nothing about the rear knee, which can be misaligned as well if you let your knee drop (which normally happened to me).

I had knee pain due to runners knee (patella tracking) and started physical therapy. I did PT twice a week for 4-5 months and the pain worsened and became chronic. I could not exercise and even sitting at work was painful. I went to an orthopedist and had x-rays and a MRI to rule out other issues and he found nothing other than the patella tracking issue and suggested me to continue on with more PT. At this point I decided to try yoga, even though the PT felt it would be a waste of my time. I got this book since it was specifically for knees and went through the full routine for a week and felt much better and went cold turkey on PT as it was doing nothing other than thinning my wallet. Within a month I could exercise again (not run though, too much pressure under the kneecap still). After 3-4 months I can run again with no discomfort. For maximum sustained benefit Yoga needs to be practiced consistently and I do find if I go too long my knees will both me slightly, much like the author warns of. The poses in this book are basic and were not intimidating to me with the exception of Hero Pose which I did not attempt for a few months, but now I can comfortably hold the pose for a few minutes with no support. Explanations are excellent and pictures are sufficient. Overall a must buy for those with knee pain.

Excellent Book. Well illustrated and easy to follow. Well designed for people with joint problems, who want to strenghthen their bodies through yoga.

Knees bees. Whatever. Just got this book a week ago, so as far as helping knees per se, don't know, but most impressed with it. These few yoga exercises limbers up the entire hip, leg area. It identifies which side is tighter. She even rightly points out to go barefoot often to strengthen feet that have been too conditioned to shoes.

I'm not a fan of static stretching, although athletic and engage in speed skating, weightlifting, running, hiking, but this book could stand alone as a stretching book, utilizing yoga.

For such a cheap price, it's a steal.

This book is a must read for any manager- at any level. If you are a seasoned professional, this book will challenge and inspire you to think in new ways and if you are a new maanger this book will become one of your greatest resources. As a Human Resources consultant, I have been able to utlilize this book in my coaching of others as well as in my every day practical work experiences. What a refreshing book- I cannot recommend this book enough!.

The message and practical advice in this book has propelled me to great success in my job. I learned that to be a manager, my responsibility is actually to be a great leader. After applying the leadership principles that the author describes in clear, practical ways, I was able to meet and exceed my division's goals. This book really is a must read for anyone who is in a leadership or management position.

As a CEO of a financial services company, I receive many books to review that are primarily focused on strategy or vision. While both of those are important to the healthy growth of a company, I tend to see the same philosophies described in different words. This book is different. It reveals the principles of leading in a refreshingly simple manner. The focus of the book is achieving results through leadership and it offers powerful insights to all levels of management. Our executives and management team intend to recommend it to all those in a leadership role and to those who desire to lead in the future

Earlier this year I found myself unexpectedly thrust into a situation where I became the interim CEO of a small company. Although the book was not primarily directed at me as a CEO I found it extremely practical and helpful as I navigated my way through an unexpectedly new situation. I would recommend it for any professional or executive who must manage others who execute!

As a CPA-trained professional, one of my greatest managerial challenges was making the transition from a technician to a manager and a leader. I wish I had this book to guide me through that difficult process. My learning curve would have been much faster and certainly more successful. I highly recommend this book to first-time supervisors, as well as experienced managers. The concepts and lessons are intuitive, insightful and timeless. This is required reading for anyone who has responsibility for managing other individuals.

The joy in this strip comes from knowing that it's all accurate. The cartoons in this collection are on-target in their ability to make the reader realize how the things that made us mad when we experienced them with our own children are very funny when they happen to someone else!

You'll be laughing out loud at this collection.

Material is as funny as the first book years ago. Our whole family enjoys Baby Blues. I'm proud to support comics in the "wholesome, clean, safe for the family" category, like Peanuts started by Charles Schulze so long ago.

I first picked up a copy of Baby Blues when I was on my honeymoon in US. Never saw it before in my life, but after flipping through a few pages of this, I was hooked. Todate, I've ended up with the entire set in my house, all read over and over again.

The strips simply mirror my life as a parent, although I don't quite have Wanda's benefit of being a SAHM. I personally have 2 kids who are have a very close age gap of only 14 months. Wanda and Darryl's misadventures and experiences couldn't be more realistic for parents or parents-to-be.

I've introduced it to my friends, who have become hooked as well and some of them have the whole collection as well.

Buy a copy. You won't go wrong!

Here is a whole collection of "Baby Blues", a clever, brutally honest comedy satire all about child-rearing from a couple of good ol' "been-there" daddies! Features a well-meaning but know-nothing dork of a dad, a disgruntled, long-suffering mommy who smiles graciously through clenched teeth, and - the big stars of the strip - Zoe, the precicous but spoiled rotten brat in perky red pigtails and Ham, the pin-headed baby of the whole family with a personality to match his name! A very generous helping of really crazy domestic misadventures for the new parents to find comfort and reassurance in as well as for the happily childless to gloat outrageously over!

You already know which comic strips you like, right? But newspapers don't carry every comic strip, so it's possible you aren't familiar with Baby Blues. It's also possible you like the strip but wondered what happens "behind the scenes." You might even be looking for a "housewarming" type gift in the $10-20 range.

I've been introduced to some of my favorite comic strips over the years. So this is my recommendation to the people who haven't heard of Baby Blues. My tastes range from Dilbert, The Far Side, and Calvin & Hobbes to the more obscure Overboard, Robotman and Fusco Brothers to the gentleness of For Better or Worse and Peanuts. Basically, I don't like a lot of "syrup," but my comics must have sensitive human observation. Baby Blues has a raw warmth, with more energy than "For Better" and more realistic characters than "Peanuts."

I enjoyed Baby Blues before my child was born, but it really "hits home" now. It's amusing with or without your own children. But if you're one of the "withs," the book doubles as a mirror!

I always find the lives of the artist and what goes into their drawings interesting from a perspective standpoint. (I liked "The PreHistory of the Far Side.") "10 Years and Still in Diapers" gives this perspective during the early chapters and in a friendly, mildly self-deprecating way.

Instead of yet another bottle of wine, why not bring this book to your next casual get together? Instead of yet another outfit, why not make this a baby shower gift? Besides being "painfully" entertaining, it's attractive enough for the coffee table.

I am a hairstylist and have read many motivational books. This book is well written and awesome. I am buying it for my friends. It is a great book for people of all careers. You will love it too. It might even change your life.

I believe everybody, not just those in business should read this book. We would all not only become more successful, but we all would live in a much better world. Great job Winn!!!Be Nice (Or Else!): and what's in it for you

This book is wonderful! It gave me a good feeling just reading it. The two chapters about the workplace are something I plan on implementing in my company. Buy the book, it is worth the price a hundred times over. I plan on buying several for for friends and family for Christmas!

This is the best book. I think everyone, EVERYONE, should read it. I am a hairdresser, and wish I could get it for the other 16 people in my salon. I can't, so they can all read mine. This book gives you something to think about. It makes you think about how you are, in every day life, and how a few different things can change you or others. I reccommend this to EVERYONE.

There is so much more to the book than the simple title, "Be Nice .. or Else" ... implies. The author takes the idea to the next level and expands it out in a way that everyone can see clearly how their life is affected by their "nice-ability" to everyone in their experience ... great success can be achieved by learning from the material in this book and using the simple practices in our every day lives. I highly recommend this book to everyone who is willing to realize more happiness and joy in their lives.
