I've been buying this book for years and it is still the best guide to all the strip clubs and porn shops in New York. I like that they cover the whole city, not just Manhattan like most guides.

The book has good overall background on each state's skiing, then goes into detail on each of the resorts it rates as the best in the US. Though I would have liked more than 30 places to be covered (Breckenridge, Kirkwood, Grand Targhee and some other very good resorts are missing) the areas that are covered have good detail about the background and history of the resort, the skiing (recommended trails are broken out by ability level) where to stay and where to dine. It is an invaluable reference when going to these places for the first time, and I have used it at many of these resorts to find the good trails and good bars and restaurants. It is very readable, and to the point, and generally matches what you'd hear from locals and people who've been there. There is also an introduction that includes general tips and information for planning a ski vacation. Well worth reading when planning a vacation, and referring to when there.

"Song Sheets to Software: A Guide to Print Music, Software, and Web Sites for Musicians" provides both the aspiring and the professional musician, songwriter, and/or music publisher with a comprehensive, concise, and logically sequenced "roadmap" to the vast array of music-related and/or music publishing resources of the Internet. In doing so, it fills the "information gap" that has long existed between those who create music and those who are in business to exploit and/or promote it. As opposed to the more common, "hunt and peck" approach of any number of music publisher "directories" available for purchase on this and other bookseller web sites, this new, highly effective "tool" offers left hemisphere hope for those with right brain preferences.

After prefacing the motivation and inspiration that resulted in this vital work, the author begins with a brief, albeit thorough history of the relationship between the creative origins of songwriting and it's business counterpart, music publishing. This provides the necessary "foundation" upon which further knowledge of this and "all things music" can be acquired, utilizing contemporary computer-related technologies.

In the chapters that follow, readers are equipped with a music-related software glossary, indexed website address locations, and even an Internet vocabulary dictionary. This empowers the modern day equivalent of Shakespeare's bards, poets, and minstrels with apprehension-free and confident access to cyberspace. When seeking the services of a reputable music publisher, this wonderful reference work may just prevent many a
would-be tunesmith from becoming "Lost In Space" as well. And this, in this author's opinion, is a benefit to humankind. As Nietzsche pointed out, "Without music, life would be a mistake."
