It's only fair to note that I am one of the minor contributors to this book, and it's one reason why I have not reviewed the book since it first came out. That said, I really do wish I had this book when I started my own business 30 years ago. This is a fantastic resource, in a way allowing you to pick the brains of hundreds of authors, getting advice so that you can avoid pitfalls in starting, operating, maintaining a small business. But don't don't let the "Small Business" put you off. If you're a manager in a megacorporation, there's advice/knowledge to be gleaned by Gene's book. In fact, I wish it was mandatory reading for those who have lost their common-sense and sensibilities on the way up the corporate ladder.

I'm a sole proprietor, and I didn't think this book had much for me. Until, of course, I needed to hire a part-time assistant. I found some great advice on how to screen resumes, set up interviews, and research candidates. This book had exactly the information I needed, and it was easy to find and easy to use. What a fabulous resource!

Some one has finally done it. Someone has put together a book of just about all of the business advice you will ever need and from a group of business experts as varied as business itself. The Small Business Book of Lists edited by Gene Marks is probably the best deal in business books at this time. What Marks has done is gather list from industry experts all over the country to help the reader find just about all the advice he or she needs about anything from starting a business to handling your taxes, to handling your sales to even a section on day by day operations.
Here are a couple of my favorites: In the chapter called Where you Work, the section called The Road Warrior there are tips on subjects like Finding the cheapest airfares, which lists the web sites to go to get the best rates; then there is a section evaluating the best frequent flyer programs, as well a particularly intriguing section on getting the best rental car rates. This includes the very logical tip that if you rent a smoke free car, it will be newer and cleaner car and most importantly you will increase your odds of getting a free upgrade because non-smoking cars are in high demand.
Then there are lists on: how and when you need a board of directors; How to get the most from your sales people. And one that I really liked, the Top Tax Schemes identified by the IRS: a crack down on off shore transactions and the ever popular "zero return" where evaders enter all zeros on their returns including zero income and the write now and then" in Latin when reporting their withholding. I like to know how that works!
There is even a "Geek" section dedicated to technology including a list evaluating the best high tech equipment to purchase and why; costs of an e-commerce site and considerations in choosing a web hosting company.
Finally there is a greats section on collections one of our least favorite but most important subjects. This section alone will pay for the book.
Good stuff; interesting and easy to use. And for just shy of twenty bucks a real good deal;
In fact a great value and a must for your personal business library.

Oh my gosh! What a book! I wish I had been the one to outline and compile it. With 100's of lists to help a wanta-be entrepreneur put together her business plan or small business owner to increase revenues or boost profits, this book is a goldmine.

The book includes eight chapters as follows:

1. Starting Up
2. High Finance
3. Where You Work
4. Day to Day
5. Your Taxes
6. The Geek Section
7. Your Customers & Prospects
8. Your People

I particularly like the lists under "Starting Your Business" starting at page 21 which included information about Choice of Legal Entity considerations. Also included there is great information about preparing business plans.

I was surprised to learn that New Jersey, my home state, ranks #7 in the "Top States for New Business Formation" list at page 69.

I could go on and on about the content included in this book. It is 661 pages long and packed full of helpful information that is not always easy to find elsewhere. If you are involved in small business in some capacity, then do yourself a favor by getting this book. 5 stars!

This is the best reference a small business could have! Covers all essential areas. A wealth of resources.

Paul Kallmes compiled and edited a stunning collected of photogaphs and essays concerning the work of Vittorio Sella. He is to be commended for bringing this collection of Sella's photographs to the attention of North American readers. Mr. Kallmes is a visionary. Bravo and thank you Paul!

This is one of the key volumes in any collection of mountain photography books. Sella was one of the earliest and most accomplished practitioners of this difficult discipline and this Aperture monograph does full justice to the importance and beauty of his work. The book, measuring approximately 28x31 cm, has been handsomely and meticulously produced. The quality of the photo reproductions is very good, capturing the spirit of the originals. There is a very pleasing layout, with pictures alternatingly presented on white and grey backgrounds. Formats vary, with about 25 photos spilling over onto a second page. There are two large foldout panoramas: one taken from the summit of the Elbrus and the other one representing the Baltoro area in the Karakoram. As far as I can tell, the 3:4 aspect ratio of the original 30x40 and 18x24 plates has been respected.

The documentary value of Sella's images is undisputed. But Sella's images surely transcend the boundaries of a purely documentary kind of photography. Take one of the earliest images shown in the book, taken on the Aletsch Glacier in the Bernese Alps in 1884 (Sella was 25 then). It is not easy to reconstruct the standpoint of the photographer, but I suspect that he is looking towards the Lötschenlücke, with the the onset of the Sattelhorn ridge barely visible to the left and a sizable chunk of the Mittaghorn-Gletscherhorn chain in full view on the right hand side of the pass. It must be early morning as the light is slanting from the East, softened by a disperse cloud cover above the Mittaghorn. The picture is titled `Crevasse on the Aletsch Glacier, Alps, July 18, 1884', but for me the real protagonist is the mysterious human figure nearly in the centre of the picture. It is the silhouet of a mountaineer in period attire, including the typical Alpenhut. He has left ropes, ice axe and other climbing gear behind and is studying a document. We can presume it is a map, although from the shape and size of the document and the climber's posture, we could deduce it is a kind of letter he is studying. The incongruity between the majestic surroundings, bathed in ethereal light, and the hard-etched casualness of the human figure remind us of the surrealists who would be experimenting with strange juxtapositions only a few decades later.

A later example of a fascinating image is the picture on page 111, showing the Duke of Abruzzi and guides climbing the Chogolisa icefall in the Karakoram range. The diffuse colours, the halos around some of the ice towers and the brushed effect in the gloomy sky place the picture in the Pictorialist tradition (à la early Stieglitz or Steichen). Again, there is an oddity which makes the attentive observer pause. The first climber has taken a position on a small shoulder and is overlooking the terrain they have to tackle next. Clearly, he is not belaying the second man (presumably the Duke) who, assisted by another guide, is attacking an ice bulge under an ice cave. Curiously the lead climber has left his ice axe behind on a little ledge in front of this ice cave lower down. It is difficult to say why in that particular situation anyone would feel tempted to leave behind this essential piece of climbing apparel. As in the Aletschgletscher picture, there is a detail in this picture, a slight twist of perspective, which reveals a deeper layer beyond the purely documentary.

The essays accompanying the pictures vary somewhat in quality. Individual chapters are ordered chronologically, reflecting Sella's progress as he worked through his major campaigns in the Alps, Caucasus, Yukon, Ruwenzori, Sikkim and Karakoram. Paul Kallmes' short introductory essays to the chapters are informative and well written, if only a little short. Wendy Watson's concluding essay "Picturing the Sublime" is a disappointment. Although it contains a lot of interesting biographical material, Watson fails to penetrate to the heart of what makes Sella's photography truly great. Compare this to Ansel Adam's all too brief but very insightful introductory essay where the artist and master practitioner reveals something of what it takes to create the particular spatial depth in mountain photographs. Whilst Watson occasionally tends to hyperbole, Adams' language is movingly poetic, but remains focused and precise.

The book ends with a notes section, a bibliography and a very good timeline. This is worth studying in detail as it includes some startling anecdotes. For instance, in December 1892 Sella traveled by train from Dover to London. During the journey he leaned too far out of the window, thereby striking his head on the tunnel wall. After spending two weeks in coma, he fully recovered from his skull fracture.

We also have to wait until the very final pages of the book to see two pictures of the man himself, both taken at very old age. One wonders how he looked like when as a young man of 25 he wandered through the Alps with his 30x40 camera ...

Vittorio Sella photographed primarily in the late 19th and early 20th century and chronicled many important expeditions. In this book, the authors present an wonderful array of his work, and the photographic reproductions are remarkably loyal to the originals in coloration. Admirers of Ansel Adams will love this book and will clearly see the antecedents of his style.

This book is absolutely breath-taking. Whether one is an avid climber or an avid lover of nature and photography, this book pleases all aspects of the senses. Wendy Watson and Paul Kallmes are obviously a gifted and talented pair, bringing first-hand knowledge and intellectual and artistic prowess to this magnificent book. It is a must-have for every library!

Vittorio Sella is little-known today, but knowledgeable people like Ansel Adams consider him one of the greatest mountain photographers ever. Sella did his work at a time when cameras weighed 40 pounds, glass negatives two pounds apiece, and mountain climbing was much more primitive than today, without the warmest clothes, tough equipment and bottles of oxygen. Sella is also known for being the first person to scale the Matterhorn in winter.

Sella was the son of the first Italian to write about photography and his uncle was a famous leader of Italian mountaineering. Expedition photographs were a new idea in his day, and primarily served the purpose of map-making for subsequent expeditions. Sella's work also served that purpose, but transcended it with stunning minimalist views. As Ansel Adams points out in his preface, Sella also understood the technique of mountain photography in ways that are missed by many current photographers.

His work was of such stature that he was invited along on important expeditions by the Duke of Abruzzi, which allowed him to be the first to create images of many important scenes. These expeditions included his native Alps, Alaska, Uganda, the Caucasus range, and the Himalayas. His photograph of K2 in the Himalayas is considered the finest one ever.

As dazzling as these images are, the essays in the book greatly add to them by explaining the context of their creation, the photographic problems involved, and the artistic aspects of the work. I enjoyed reading each of them, because each shed a different light on the work.

Although the book is about summit photographs, the book includes many photographs during the ascents, of the people met during the expeditions, and of local scenery.

The summit photos are remarkable to me in many ways. First, he made great efforts to get the right perspective -- often climbing another mountain to get a view the the one alongside. Second, he created stunning panoramas of the major chains which exceed what the eye can see, even if you were there. Third, the pictures have a sense of motion in the glaciers that is quite remarkable. These rivers of ice look like they are moving in videos when you look at them. Fourth, the mountain views have a spiritual quality that is uplifting. Your view of mountains will be forever changed by these photographs.

Also, I feel grateful for the photographs because, although I love mountains, I am not a mountain climber and would never have a chance to see these beautiful, inspiring scenes otherwise.

I encourage you to read and enjoy this book as example of what goals can provide. In the days when Sella was climbing there was no chance of reaching the top of many of these peaks, such as K2 (thought by many to be the toughest mountain in the world to climb). Yet the climbers and Sella achieved lasting meaning for themselves and for us in their partially successful endeavors. Goals take us to the top of our skills by extending our ambition and focus. Be sure you are always looking for the next mountain to climb (and photograph). Let these wonderful images inspire you on to your personal greatness! Also, think about choosing goals that will aid and inspire others for many years in the future as Sella did.

It seens if their are only 18 books in the set + the one's not numbered I have the hole set. I injoyed reading the Houseclans, it was hard to put the books down. Wish there was more.

I have the first 15 of the 18 book series and am very disappointed that it's no longer in print. I had a difficult time just discovering the last 3. The other Robert Adams series (Castaways in time) was not nearly as enjoyable to me. I also enjoy Adams' "play on words" and the tenderness he shows to all people. The author does an excellent job of dealing with the hellishness of war and does not glamorize it in anyway. The only thing I might criticize is some of the sexual content--this is not a series for teens in my opinion.

Robert Adams' "Horseclans" series has been one of the greatest fantasy series I have ever come across. Even though the story takes place during post-Apocalyptic society, his use of words, such as "oliphaunts," gives the reader the allusion of a world that is starting over. What we see as common, is something brand new for these tribesmen. They are allies with the animals. And all have been trained and suited for war.

I have not been submerged in a story so deeply since Tolkien's "Lord of the Rings." Robert Adams takes ordinary people and items and makes them extrordinary. Where Tolkien created hobbits, dragons, and magic, Adams uses humans, animals, and nature.

My only regret with the Horseclan stories, is that now in the nineties, I cannot find the rest of Robert Adams' books to complete my collection

The Horseclans series will hopefully live on as the classic extended trilogy. In all my reading over the years of extended trilogies, including Abbey, Hubbard, Anthony and Pournelle, has a writer been able to give such a rich tightly woven narrative. He has history that is consistent, and a timeline that moves forward and keeps the reader hooked.

I too wished that the story lines had been cleaned up, but alas, Mr. Adams has allegedly passed on. I say allegedly because I have not been able to find any definitive information. The most probable reason for no future releases or reprints is probably due to probate or rights of the descendents.

Good bye and thank you for all of the adventures with Milo, the Clan of the Cats and Bili the Axe.

I have the complete set of the Horseclans series. I was very dissapointed that it just ended with several plots left hanging. I have frequently checked book stores and the Internet for new releases. I have not even been able to find the fan sites that were up several years ago. The author actualy lived less than an hour from my home town. Of course I didn't know it then or could drive anyway.

It's really interesting to get the background and more importantly the story behind the names that you hear in the circles of technology. Visiting laboratories, and libraries named after people you know about is much more interesting than when you have a little knowledge. Technomanifesto's is a unique compilation of technologies' history, a must read for anyone that considers themself a technophile.

As a 75 year old who had 7 children during the years the technomanifestos were being written, this book opened my eyes. I now have some understanding of what led up to my home computer. This is a must read for anyone in my generation, my children, and my grandchildren.

As someone with no background in computers or information technology, I found Technomanifestos to be a key text. The work not only provided a factual background on the history of computers, programming, and the internet, but also demonstrated the ideologies behind their development. In addition, through an engaging narrative and constant use of non-tech analogy and vocabulary, Adam Brate translates the basics of computer and program development into accessible and digestible language. Most importantly, Technomanifestos encouraged me to relate the politics and polemics of modern technology to my own computer use, newspaper headlines, and the history of knowledge.

Computers have revolutionized our society. Yet most people have little idea of how this happened, who were behind these changes, and what are the issues we still face. This book provides an excellent history of the ideas and the people who changed our lives. I loved the photo inserts of the 20 visionaries the book highlights - from MIT professors in the 1940s in suits and ties, to John von Neumann, Marvin Minsky, and Seymour Papert with their machines, to long-haired Abbie Hoffman, Richard Stallman, and Jaron Lanier. The book is very well written, combining technical details, personal anecdotes, and quotations to give an inspirational overview of how computer technology came to be, and how it effects the world. From information technology to cybernetics to nanotechnology, I learned a lot.

"Technomanifestos" is neither another Unix manual nor another cynical, Gen-X page turner. Rather, it is a thoughtful book that, in accessible language for the non-specialist, excerpts and discusses the fascinating and wide-sweeping ideologies and social goals set out in the groundbreaking writings of the information revolution's key figures. What were the founders of the internet aiming for, beyond another intra-office communication tool or the ability to shop on-line? What exactly paved the way for today's flurry of cyber-activity? How compatible are current attempts to legislate cyber-space with the information revolution's original ideals? How did we move from data compilations to hypertext and Java? "Technomanifestos" addresses all of these questions and more.

Kicking off with a chapter centered on the writings of Norbert Wiener, father of the theory of Cybernetics, the book is structured around the most well-known figures of the Information Revolution, their respective contributions and their visions of where it would all lead, as seen in their own writings. By no means, however, is it limited to just the movement's technical or computer-based aspects and thinkers. On the contrary, tied in throughout the shrewd exploration of the true significance of today's increased communication possibilities are such famous pop and counter-culture icons as Marshall McLuhan and Abbie Hoffman.

From the origins of digital thought to such modern issues as open source, "Technomanifestos" offers a chronological panorama of what the great minds behind the Information Revolution actually thought.

This book has some wonderful examples of tile projects to inspire you to do your own. After I read the book I did my own project and it turned out well. The book is packed full of useful information to help anyone complete their own project.

I have always been an avid DIY'er and a passionate lover of tile, so I have just about every book on the subject. I've been waiting for the release this newest book TILE STYLE and let me tell you, it does not disappoint. Truly an all inclusive book, it covers in great detail everything tile including natural stone, glass, metal, mosaics, terra cotta, brick, porcelain, ceramic, cork and numerous decorative tiles. Not only will you learn the qualities of each, but how to chose, design with, install and care for them as well. The book is filled with beautiful photos of tiled rooms (even the installation sections are full color). And when it comes to the installation sections, this has to be one of the most detailed, yet simply presented of my entire collection. Plus, the projects incorporate the newest setting methods and materials in conjunction with the most current trends in kitchens, baths and flooring such as a granite tile countertop, a glass and metal backsplash and setting a travertine tile floor! Beautiful, extremely informative and cutting edge - a must have tile book!

Tile Style: Creating Beautiful Kitchens, Baths, and Interiors with Tile I am a professional interior designer and Tile Style is my new favorite tile book, and I buy alot of books. It offers not only great pictures for ideas etc., but is a great "how to" for anyone just starting out.

This book is chock full of gorgeous tile applications in a variety of styles. I especially love the mosaics. Pure eye candy!

This is a great book about tile. It has creative, inexpensive ways to upgrade your tile look and to help enhance your end result. There are beautiful pictures of tile work someone would actually install into their own home. Highly recommend this book for the person who is looking for creative ideas.

If you have ever wondererd what it is like to be an addict, THIS BOOK IS FOR YOU !!! I have been in recovery for 15 years and was in active addiction for 28 years. This author somehow found the courage to re-live and put down on paper the hopelessness and horrors that ONLY an addict knows. It is not for someone new to recovery by any means! Buy it, give it to someone who does not understand but wants to !!

Rivals Stephen King, only this guy's tale is true. Fast-paced and exciting. Excellently written. A frightening portrayal of drug addiction, just how low a person gets, and what it does to families, friends, loves. Put it on your Must-Read list. . . .

This is the most accurate portrayal of drug addiction I have ever read! It's a must-read for anyone wanting to understand the world of addiction.

This was an amazing book. Filled with true life (very real) experiences. I could feel his pain, his struggles and his relapses. The further I read into the book, the harder it was to put it down. A "must" read for families of addicts for a clear understanding of the struggle.

This is by far, the most accurate account of drug addiction I have ever read. It shows to just what depths drugs can bring one, and how hard the road to recovery is.

This is a charming and imaginative tale, with the most gorgeous and detailed illustrations. Even more unique, it is written in verse - it's just beautiful all around. The story captivated my almost-4 yr old and also provided many opportunities to teach him new vocabulary.

Adventure, Poetry, Fantastically Colorful and Detailed Artwork combine in this short classic of children's literature.

It's worth an out of print search.

Alec

I had this book as a child and was always captivated by the illustrations. I loved the story of the tygers and their adventure to lands unkown. I am not sure where my copy is (at my mother's house I'm sure) - but at about 24 years old I felt compelled to seek this book out and have a copy for myself. Now I have a toddler of my own and he loves animals. I hope that he will grow to love this book as much as I have.

I have a copy of this book from years ago when I was a child. I was sad to see that it is out of print, and feel sorry for the children who won't have the opportunity to experience it. I remember many a day of reading and rereading this wonderful book.

I received this book over 25 years ago from my uncle/godfather before I could even read. I remember being so mesmerized by the beautiful illustrations, I would make someone read it to me every night just so I could look at the pictures! It's definitely worth an out-of-print search! I got hold of another copy a few years ago which I intend to pass on to my recently-born niece!

Published to accompany the exhibition "Unknown Territory: The Landscape of Andrew Wyeth" organised by the Whitney Museum of American Art in 1998, following the introduction two essays discusses the critical appraisal of the artist, his approach to his work and his painting methods; the easy are illustrated throughout in colour and black and white. The catalogue of work runs from pages 51 to 199. The book concludes with a further essay which includes a number of comments by the artist. There is also a list of works included in the exhibition but no bibliography.

In total there are approaching 200 illustrations, with the vast majority being in full colour, although the restrained nature of Wyeth's palette does not make this immediately apparent even in the main section of plates. The landscape format of the book accommodates well the predominantly similarly proportioned paintings and drawings, however sometimes the image is reproduced rather small relative to the page size.

A very useful publication which well demonstrates the range of the artist's output even with the designation of landscape.

If this were a hardbound edition (it may exist?) it would sell for an expensive price. The color plates, index and footnotes are exquisitely designed and printed in this softbound catalog edition. Anecdotes are plentiful, critical examination controversial, but this catalog of Wyeth's work is beautifully presented and great fun to examine. The words of critics are always oddly out of place and hard to swallow and fortunately there aren't many critic's editorials contained here. It's the dozens and dozens of paintings that are in this book-exquisite! As many of A.W.'s pieces were of a comparatively large dimension-as far as water-based works go, the plates do not capture the spatial and color phenomena of these paintings, but this is as good as it gets-next to a visit to a museum to view them "live!" One would be hard-pressed to find this many unpublished, heretofore unexhibited Wyeth pieces under one roof! A very enjoyable publication!

A collection containing a number of stunning watercolors loosely executed, rarely included in a book of Wyeth's works. Also includes many of his more labored tempera paintings.

The staff of the Whitney Museum for a 1998 Wyeth exhibition compiled this beautifully printed and bound book. The stock is heavy and glossy and the colors sharp and clear. Many watercolors included have not been publicly seen for years, as many private collectors contributed their paintings for this exhibition. The dates of the compositions range from the early 30's through the late 90's.

The two most recognized American artists of the 20th Century are Andys-Wyeth and Warhol, and they have more in common than their initials. Both are controversial and neither is as "realistic" as accused and/or categorized.

My enjoyment of Andrew Wyeth was never diminished by the fact that I had a lot of company. Popularity does not necessarily mean inferiority in spite of what the self-consuming art world tells us. True, you have to have a certain fondness for bleak settings to properly take pleasure in most of the paintings. I often idly wondered if Wyeth ever painted landscapes in spring or summer and why he was so enamored of bare earth and beige and brown compositions. I have never seen as many abstracts as are contained in this book.

The essays in the book are interesting, but not so prevalent as to overshadow the marvelous prints. My only complaint is the book is an unhandy shape, longer than it is tall, making it difficult to shelve. However, this is minor. Many hours of viewing pleasure are in store.

When you view the work of an artist, who is to be the arbiter of what, in this case the painting is about, what it means? Do you turn to the Professional Art Critic, Art History Majors, you the viewer, or the man or woman who created the work? In this case the Artist is well and painting, and his thoughts about his work are many and well documented.

This book on the paintings of Andrew Wyeth focuses primarily on the media of watercolor and drybrush as opposed to the egg tempera paintings that are the medium for so many of his most famous works. Mr. Wyeth takes up to 6 months for a tempera work, and completes as few as 2-4 a year. The images in this book are produced by the hundreds, and over his career amount to literally thousands of images. This book discusses and publishes many images that have never been publicly shown, and uses this body of work to advance various ideas.

The book is a valuable addition to those who are admirers of his work, the opinions that are expressed by people other than the artist, are either critical to the book on one extreme, or mostly ridiculous from where I sit.

Andrew Wyeth has been a target for the self-proclaimed tastemakers of Art for one reason; his art is widely admired, collected, and highly valued. These elements automatically qualify him for criticism that is so absurd; it adds a comedic aspect to the text. Then there are those who do love his work but feel they must demonstrate that, yes, he is what the critics say he is not, and even more!

The text did help me understand more about the method by which Mr. Wyeth creates these works, and the role they sometimes play in a major tempera piece. I loved his work before this book, and will continue to regardless of what "they" have to say. The only individual whose comments matter are Mr. Wyeth's. His thoughts are documented; I don't see the need for others to presume they know better than he what he paints, and what his intent was when he created the work.

The book is great for the new images it brings to the public. Everything about the construction of the book is as good as you will find in a commercial publication, and the color plates are excellent. As to the text, that is left for you to decide, I am placing the stars above for the Artist and his work, not for what others have to say about it.

I tried to order this from Amazon but then received a notice that the book would be available in 1-3 months, not 1-3 weeks as listed here. Having already waited 6 weeks for the book to arrive I ended up ordering directly from the publisher (Whitecap Books) and it arrived within 1 week!!! The price was higher but I would recommend this book at any price. There are some wonderful great recipes. Get a copy while you still can.

That's all there is to it. There's not a single miss in this book. Every recipe is a hit!! And the pictures are awesome too!! I'd pay $100 for this book if I had too. Do yourself a favor and get one. You won't regret it.

Some of my favourite recipes from the amazing whitewater cafe. They bring back great memories of growing up in the Koots, and my winter at the Whitewater ski hill...
And it's great food, with tastes coming together from around the world.

Over the years I've had the pleasure of visiting the Whitewater Resort and the Fresh Tracks Cafe many times and neither I, nor anyone in my family has ever been disappointed in the food that we've had - we've always enjoyed it. So when I found out that they had a cookbook, I immediately bought it - and again, I have not been disappointed.

It's full of great recipes (I've tried several and LOVE them all) that are fresh, easy and yummy. The recipes tend to be on the healthy side (which I like) but are not lacking in flavor in anyway - they are some of the most flavorful I've had. They are also very simple and most could be made quickly on a weeknight. This is a definite keeper for us!

I love this cookbook. The pictures alone are wonderful, and the recipes themselves turn out both beautiful to look at and delicious to eat. I've made about ten of the recipes. So far, our favorites are the black bean vegetarian chili, the corn bread, and the white chocolate-hazelnut brownies. The only criticism I have is that the book is poorly edited. Some of the ingredients are not specific enough (for example, "1 tsp mint"; dried? extract? fresh chopped?) and the instructions are sometimes incomplete. Still, by guessing as best I could, the recipes turned out well. I hope that the next edition of this book is more complete and specific.

I didn't understand before buying this book that it was just a collection of short quotes - but it's hilarious! If you've ever felt frustrated dealing with men, you need this!

A wonderful and funny collection of women's quotations.

certainly this book is a great collection of the thoughts of women regarding the oxymoron knownn as men. i found my self laughing outloud & unable to stop reading.

With such a witty and insightful book, woul you expect any less from the website? Check it out, you can even buy Men Are From Hell T-Shirts and other various things... http://www.menarefromhell.com

This book is histerically funny! If you have ever had a relationship with a man, good or bad, you will enjoy the insightful quotes in this book. I am sending copies to all my women friends.
