Guides and Directories Books

This book was very helpful as we tried to choose a camp for our children. This book gives you all the basic facts that you need to know to narrow your search.

These guides (Right & Left), are an excellent tool to discover just "WHO" is out there and "WHY".
Although these groups come and go, Laird Wilcox keeps track with the groups listed and hardly anyone is missed in the next year's edition.
A MUST HAVE database for anyone who is interested in the study of social/political extremism and provides "contact" information for each group listed.

This is the definitive reference for all things Irish in the New England States. Whether you're looking for events, education, artists, organizations or just a pub, here's the place to begin. It's very handily divided up by state and by category. The alphabetized index is extremely helpful too.

Written by Victoria-based, award-winning journalist Ross Crockford, Victoria: The Unknown City is an in-depth guide to one of Canada's and the world's top tourist destinations. Packed with directions, recommendations, and tidbits of history regarding everything from popular bars to the remnants of the original Fort Victoria to local haunted locations and advice for avoiding long waits and bad seats on the BC Ferries, Victoria is the "go-to" guide for experiencing all the adventure and wonder the city has to offer. Black-and-white photographs and an index round out a solid guide to tourist activities from sports to dining to shopping, nightlife, and experiencing local media. Recommended as a supplemental resource for Victoria vacationers looking to get the most out of their visit.

My only regret is that this book is out-of-print; however, if one is planning a ski vacation anywhere in the Alps, this book is priceless. Claire Walter, of Skiing Magazine, lists ski areas for each country as a chapter. Each area is decribed succintly including statistics and trail maps. Each resort is rated from 1 to 10 for snow and skiing conditions,apres-ski, other sports and value for money. The pictures of each resort area make one drool! We have used it 4 times and it works. Pray for a new publication of this guide.

This resource is invaluable for any high school or college student seriously researching and considering a health professions career. It's great for the "pre-med" student who isn't "pre-med" anymore, but still wants a career in health care. It's a library MUST-HAVE for their career/academic advisor as well! I find the most valuable information is the easy reference to all the most important websites on each career for the student's and advisor's further research, plus the comprehensive by state listing of all the accredited programs for each career. How did I survive without this guide?!

Beautiful coffee table style book with great pictures and descriptions of small, intimate hotels throughout Provence. A great companion to the Relais & Chateau guide.

Must have for all of you "Peakbaggers". Every single 4000 footer or higher in NY and New England is described inside this incredible book. My only suggestion would be an update that includes all of the Catskill's 3,500' peaks.

Getting close to graduation and wondering how to pay for college? High School Senior's Guide to Merit and Other No-Need Funding provides a handy list of references for financial aid which are based on merit rather than need: chapters cover the various organizations which award such scholarships and grants, defining eligibility and the financial information needed to apply.

I just read that the digital version is the first digital book admitted into in the Library of Congress. Anyway, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Wireless Web is a guide for ebusiness executives with an emphasis on practical results. It shows how to execute a wireless Web strategy. I liked that it covered what the obstacles are and especially how to overcome them. Highly recommended!
