Purchasing Books

This book is a highly detailed and simply invaluable research tool for writers, historians, teachers, etc. Some books give you a quick sampling -- ie, bread cost so much, milk cost so much, a car cost so much -- without giving you any more specifics or backing up their stated facts with sources. But THE VALUE OF A DOLLAR digs deeper, giving you comparisons (high end cars, low end cars), plus charts of how much people in various professions made (while Elvis made ten million in one year in the '50's, a secretary with typing and shorthand typically earned around $85 a week). You can check out the grocery section to see how fruits, vegetables, and all household staples stacked up against a person's basic salary and how much of their income went for basic necessities -- or look at the cost of entertainments (movies, theater tickets, sporting events, games) in any particular era. Simply fascinating reading, carefully documented (columns typically list which publications the prices or salaries came from). If you're a writer of any kind of history or historian of any kind, don't be without it!

When I first ventured into reading this wonderfully woven book, I entered a whole new world of magic. That magic was never absent throughout the entire journy and really excited me into learning more about buying and leasing cars. Although the title may lead a person on into believing the book to be dry, it is far from that. It is a excellently written book that gives you what you want from a book like this. When the reader finishs the book he feels he has learned a great deal about the subject. Buy and Leasing Cars has never been so fun!

This Triple A (Automobile Association of America) publication comes out every year with the latest information on new cars. The book is written in language that is easy to read and understand. I have been buying this book yearly from AAA (at full list price) until I discovered it's availability on Amazon! I am currently awaiting the latest edition - Autograph 2000 - which is due soon! I recommend anyone interested in purchasing a new automobile read this book. The book provides information about the safety, comfort, reliability and styling of the new cars. I find it to be extremely helpful when deciding what car to purchase! Read it - then drive!

The army isn't the only organization that has needed to rethink its supply chain practices. If you run a manufacturing or procurement organization that needs a boost, this book can be an excellent primer on how to frame your thoughts.

It's a good, interesting read. Not too over-the head; pretty easy to understand. The index needs revising, though. Some of the key words were not on the assigned pages. I'm going into the contracting field and I'll be keeping this book for reference.

This text is used by many instructors to provide technical structure to their course curriculum. The topics and content are well organized and provide a solid foundation to first time topic introduction, procedures, and guidelines.

I've read this book when it was first published and know the author personally. If you are interested in the book and want contact information, just email me anytime. Thanks! I can even help Amazon.com get the book.
