Ball Books

This is a great poster - easy to follow and it laminated so it will not wear out. Glad I bought. I would recommend it to any one using a balance ball for exercise.

Having watched the movie "Hoosiers" a number of times, I was quite pleasantly surprised by this powerful account of the real-to-life coach of the Milan Indians. . .The movie certainly missed the point of what actually happened to the young man who crafted one of basketball's most memorable legends. . .

From the joy of the victory with Milan to the pain of losing his only son to drugs, the Marvin Wood story is a touching account of an educator who knew who to inspire. . .

If you like basketball and you have ever rooted for the underdog you will love this book. . .

It was one of the funniest books that I have ever read. After reading this book, I felt that I knew more about baseball than I did before. I thought the author knew a lot about kids and the way they play baseball when they are young.

Excellent but unfortunately the story ends in 2004.
And a lot of things has happened since that.
Wait for the next edition!

TRIZ is a very powerful tool, but difficult for most people to grasp. This training material is the best that is available and I have nearly every book available on TRIZ.
I cannot recomend Larry Ball's training material enought... only being able to attend his training in person would be better.

I have the July 1990 edition and read it with the same enthusiasm I had reading "Pillars of the Earth" by Ken Follet. I have placed these two books together on my shelf and have recommended both of them to many of my friends. I'm just sorry that it's not available in hard cover.

This book will be a classic among Ken Follett's "Pillars of the Earth" and Edith Pargeter's "Heaven Tree" trilogy!

There are many "How to" books on the market, in every field of endeavor, but this book is truly unique in the pawn business. There has, to my knowledge, never been a more comprehensive explanation of the pawn business offered to the general public. This tightly-controlled business usually is reluctant to share insider information with anyone outside the industry. But Taylor-Fletcher's entertaining work opens the door for public awareness with never-before revealed insider information about buying and pricing tactics, and determining the value of everything from jewelry to guns, as well as detailed information on how to run a profitable shop - even down to how to arrange the merchandise to maximize sales.

Pawn pros will value its content for its accuracy and fresh new ideas; the public should value it for its clues on how to effectively deal with a pawn shop when purchasing used merchandise. Everyone will enjoy it for its light-hearted approach to a serious business.

My own personal interest is jewelry, and I discovered just what a neat place a pawn shop really is for great finds on beautiful rings and precious stones for just pennies on the dollar. Once I started making the rounds of the local pawn shops searching for bargains on jewelry, I began to realize just how many items can be found in these stores at great prices. As a result of reading this book, I now know just what to look for and how to negotiate my purchases. If I ever decide to open a shop of my own, this book will provide the blueprint I'll need to make it a success. Its just like having your own personal consultant right at your fingertips. A valuable book and a fun read!

I gave this to my Mom for a gift as she loves succulents. She also loves the book as it is chock full of photos, tips and info. Highly recommended!
