Directories Books

As a Canadian writer, it is sometimes difficult to find information about Canadian writing resources. If you go on the Internet, there are plenty of sites and listings for American writers. There are also some really good writers' market directories available, containing primarily American content. These ample resources make it seem like the United States is the only market for writers. So much so that I think we often forget that we have some really great opportunities right here in Canada.

Thankfully, I picked up a copy of The Canadian Writer's Market. For easy use, this book is set up similar to Writer's Markets and Christian Writers' Market Guide with subdivisions for genres, trade publications, book publishers as well as extra resources about writing groups, agents, and competitions. In addition to these expected aspects, The Canadian Writer's Market also includes sections about scholarly and literary markets, daily newspapers, and support programs for writers. The Canadian Writer's Market is a must have for every Canadian writer.

This is probably one of the most useful books I have ever bought.

Bourque guided me step-by-step through the process of buying a car online.

My experience was excellent. I got the vehicle I wanted at a price no other "offline" dealer was prepared to touch. I even managed to get them to throw in hundreds of dollars in extras.

I wish everything was this easy. Good job Pierre.

The Caravan is a compilation of talks given in 1970 & 71. It is some straight speaking and a lot of question and answer. It covers everything from sex, drugs, politics, and hippies, to child birth, meditation, and a good way of thinking and being. The book started as a big class of hippies, then they took their message on the road. They say up to fifty school buses and forty other assorted vehicles. They meat a lot of people, and tried to bridge the gap between the common folks and the scarey long hairs.

I wish everybody had the enthusiasm for caring for books that Jane Greenfield does. Too many are classic, valuable tomes thrown into used bookstores and decimated over time. This book is an excellent guide to caring for your books, and making them valuable over time.

I am writing to express my appreciation for the CareerXroads resource. Having been an web recruiter, and internet strategy specialist in some large global firms as well as some small organizations, I think the internet is a solid and cost-effective tool for any size organization to access infinite databases of knowledge and contacts. If you know how to use it most effectively, then it becomes an inexpensive tool to utilize in hiring for the organization. This book ( especially the impressive '98 update) provides the perfect amount of information for beginner to intermediate level to understand various options in recruiting and advertising to tap into this immense tool. In the area of readability, it is well put-together and the language is clear for those who may not be net savvy, yet does not talk down to those who are achieving new levels of mastery in internet recruiting methods. Grab a copy of this book. It's totally worth the price.

Wonderful reference book covering every aircraft and aircraft carrier in use with Navies around the world since 1950 up until about 2001. For every country there is an introduction, a listing of carrier aircraft used and a brief history of every carrier used.

Especially the pic's from the 50's and 60's US Navy Jets are my favourite.

It is a wonderful directory of resources for Catholic activities, published by Foundations and Donors Intersted in Catholic Activities (FADICA). The editor Kerry Robinson and three others whose painstaking reasearch has brought out this volume lightening the burden of grantseekers in the Church, deserve our gratitude and commendation. There are 962 entries of foundations and donors and each entry is as complete as possible with necessary information like address, contact person, geographic giving pattern, special interests, assets, grant average etc. This reference book shall ever remain valuable to Church personnel interested in ministering to the people of God.

For anyone interested in 20th century notables (in several professions), this well-researched volume is a marvelous resource as to where they lived in April 1930, whether they owned or rented the property, who lived in their household at the time, etc. A gem of a reference tool!

i love see star in the sk

As an autograph collector since l988 this book has been very helpful. Since I try to get the autographs of the stars of the 30's & 40's this book has it all. So I suggest get out your pen and paper and start writing, you soon will be hooked in obtaining autographs!
