Directories Books

see http://www.familyinternet.com/collectables/fleaad.htm for more rave reviews from CNN-TV, Newsday, Milwaukee Journal, etc.

This is a really good book for finding flea markets. Each state is covered (a map shows the state at a glance and the key fleamarket towns shown) and for each flea market it says the town, address & directions to get there, dates/times when its open, cost of admission, features such as typical types of items you'll find there, number of booths, rates if you're a dealer and want to sell at the flea market, contact info and web site if they have one.

Really full - it was neat to see Wellfleet covered in here. When I was little my grandparents (who lived on Cape Cod) would take me there to browse through the stalls - I usually had a small allowance of a dollar or two to spend....thank goodness my allowance is bigger now :)

Anyway, great book, seems to be really complete although I've only gone to a few local flea markets that I can get to.

Definitely recommend this as I haven't found anything else that comes close to being as good

Much time and research went into this work. Listing almost everyone associated with the film industry who are interred in Los Angeles' cemeteries was an incredible feat. In addition, how the author got the grave sites of celebrities buried in Forest Lawn (Hollywood) and (Glendale) is beyond me! Workers there won't even give out names of those interred. I highly recommend this book.

Having read most of the books published re: celeb grave hunting, I can easily say this is the very best. Mr. Ellenberger has managed to consolidate all the positives contained in the books that have preceded this one, added additional information and new entries, and has come up with the ultimate grave hunting guide for the Los Angeles area. He has clearly researched and verified his information and relied on additional information supplied by various knowledgeable contributors. Information includes dates and locations of birth and death, grave location (cemetery, section and plot numbers), cause of death, and identifiable screen role(s). The only possible shortcomings are lack of cemetery maps and pictures of the deceased, and these are probably due to the high publishing costs associated with these features. The one thing that I really liked was the addition of many fine actors who never attained star status such as Harry Davenport and Sara Allgood. This is absolutely great for all diehard movie fans out there.

This book has soo many champagne cocktails. Thres champagne for all occasions from tradiotnal drinks, modern drinks, breakfast drinks, and punchs. Interesting read!! i love champagne

Another fabulous book for Anastasia and Jared. Full of "bubbly" fun and creative "sparkle" this book was also asthetically gorgeous. Chef Kathy Casey

In addition to being a great book for "broadcasters, event planners and advertisers" as noted in the publisher's review, Chases Calendar of Events is a great resource for anyone working in education (At any level)! Working in residence life, it is an excellent resource for programming, or simply for "random trivia" in newsletters or on bulletin boards. If you have a unique or original holiday, you can also have it included. (For example, 2 years ago, we started "International Residence Hall Student Staff Recognition Day," and it is now included in the annual publication and is being recognized worldwide).

I would highly recommend this book!

Chase's is a great resource to anyone in sales or marketing. The item arrived quickly and I was able to use the CD-ROM that was included with the book immediately.

Probably not a handy reference for everyone, but it is a standard in newspaper offices. Lists all sorts of events internationally, famous birthdays, anniversaries of the most obscure things. Lots of fun for some of us!

Imagine always having something new and interesting to write or talk about. Every day of the year!

This book gives you that amazing ability, no matter how tongue tied or writer's cramped you are.

Every day you have a selection of subjects that are as topical as possible - after all they are all about today. If you are planning any event at all - you will always have a reason with this valuable resource (National Muffin Day Celebration).

For a blogger or web copywriter - this is like a box of gold.

How much is it worth to never be at a loss when you need to get out some copy? For me, way more than the reasonable investment of this book.

It's great fun finding oddball days and weeks to celebrate in Chase's Calendar of Events. This is invaluable for libraries and radio stations. Besides telling you when National BBQ Day is, it also gives a few details about various holidays. I can't count the number of times I used this book during my years as a librarian. Often the information can't be found anywhere else.
I haven't tried the CD-ROM but imagine it would be convenient looking things up on Chase's using the computer. The book is well-indexed, so it's easy to use.

I recommend this to anyone starting out or those that want to brush up on fundamentals. Great price - thanks Chesscentral!

Those who love chess and the Internet will also love this guide, which provides reviews and assessments of the hottest chess sites and advice on where to play on the web. From news and events to learning about chess, Chess On The Net is filled with practical, fun applications.

An extensive compendium of Halloween and otherwise Horror resources on the net.

Many subjects to choose from within this nefarious genre from artistry, to literature, poetry, music, holiday history, superstitions, character origins, psychodrama, multimedia, recipes, online goody recommendations, and costumed fun-eral.

Read by flickering screen and candle light in the gloom of your haunted room, and allow your imagination to transport you to arcane realms for amusement and fright!

Click or Treat provides a smorgasbord of Halloween & Horror, internet-style. Whether you are a budget conscious parent, a paranormal researcher, or someone just surfing for some good sites and laughs you will find something for you in this book. The Internet by its very nature is an ever changing thing but I found very few dead links in Click or Treat and highly recommend this book.

There is no better source than the CLMP for publishing literary work. I have used it since 2001. The information is accurate and up to date, and every serious writer should own a copy, a new copy, each year.

I highly recommend this book.

This Directory is a great resource for any serious creative writer - certainly it's a great addition to this poet's reference shelf. It presents listings for LITERARY publications, weeding out commercial places that prefer rhyming jingles to sestinas so my time isn't wasted pawing through pages of inappropriate nonsense. Good information including how each publication is distributed and when the reading periods are is very helpful. I also find the various indices useful for finding information quickly. The online journals also listed in the Directory are another great resource... highly recommended!

This book has the statistics and brief explanations on about 3000 undergraduate programs. It is a very good reference for the hard facts on the programs that one is interested in. The SAT preparation software that comes with the book is not spectacular, but the book itself is worth buying.

"The College Board Handbook" is a great general guide that stands with the best of them. I will recommend this to those who come to me, along with a number of other college reviews, and my pet favorite for kids to learn about character and leadership education and the true value of education to America, "West Point: Character Leadership Education: Thomas Jefferson" by Norman Thomas Remick.
