The best golf resort book yet. You can spend hours daydreaming with it or use it as the basis for your next golf vacation. The pictures put you right there ready to tee it up (and pay up).

Excellent book......a must to buy

From the first lines, "NO! I won't and you can't make me!" to the surprise gentle ending, "Mama, I love you." this book is a treat to both parents and toddlers. The illustrations are a total delight and the rollicking, rhyming words simply roll off the reader's tongue. Little ones never tire of hearing these fun phrases over and over and the adults reading them enjoy them just as much. A perfect bedtime book...or anytime book, and one that both you and your toddler will enjoy for years. This is a classic for sure!

Loved this book! Our daughter could not get enough of it!!! Probably because she can relate so well to the little guy. I had fun acting this out in a graduate class on childrens' literature. Kudos to the author!!!!!!!

Freemantle's debut - written each day as he travelled to and from 'work' - is a perfectly balanced story. A fine and believable central character pitted against a defector who doesn't ring true. It's short and sweet, unlike many espionage novels, but doesn't waste a word. Thrilling and satisfying.

Why should Victor Pavel, Russia's brilliant, world-renowned space scientiest, honored as a hero by his country, suddenly decide to defect to the west, abandon his wife and children to Soviet reprisals, perhaps even death? This is the question that baffles Adrian Dodds, a quiet, unassuming young man, despised and abandoned by his wife, but brilliant at his job of processing every defector to Britain from the Communist bloc. The Americans and the British both are eager to put Pavel to work. Only Dobbs doubts his authenticity and abandons his timidity to voice his distrust of Pavel until his job and his life is in jeopardy.

I am a huge fan of WWWFights. Brian and Steve created one of the most original comedic web sites around which has grown to have a huge audience. This book takes some of my favorite maches and brings them to a new media.

If only we could see some of these matches in real life.

I am a great fan of Web confrontations. To the Web-illiterate of you, that is pitting popular pop culture icons against one another in a battle decided by the votes of those who log on to the site. These pioneers vote for whom they see has the better chance of winning.

But enough about what it is! This is a concentration of the best matches, commentary, and responses. This is one of the highest sources of concentrated sadistic humor. I sincerely hope that they produce a sequel to this great book!

Being a fan of the Montreal Canadiens, this book was an obvious choice for me. I found it was a great book to read. It covers the Habs in great detail and is hard to put down. If you're a Montreal Canadiens fan, this book is for you.

This is a great read for any fan of the Montreal Canadiens. Whether you are a long-time follower and want to relive some moments of glory, or a recent admirer and want to learn about the incredible legacy of this team, you will like this book. Even to those newer to the sport can easily get caught up in the vivid accounts of times past. At times the descriptive stories about some of the greatest moments in the history of the game brought a rush of emotion and pride as I pictured myself in the Forum of old, cheering on the Richards, Toe Blake, Ken Dryden, Guy Lafleur, and so many others. If you like hockey, this book should be considered a must-read.

It's ... alive! (with apologies to Lisette, the mentor I should have had). Shades of Weegee, Arbus, Model and a bit of Malick Sibide. Can't wait until this is remaindered, so I can pick up an extra copy for the time capsule.

I found the story to be much more than friendship, the illustrations were just spectacular as my little nieces and I delighted in all the hidden objects in all the scenes. Brian Lies is masterful as he intertwines his story with his artwork. Brilliant!

This story of friendship speaks to all of us, child and parent alike. Here are two critters who are wonderful friends but opposite personalities. Hamlet, the pig, is the daredevil -- completely fearless and he doesn't seem to learn from experience. Then, there's Quince, the porcupine, who serves as both a friend and a very cautious parental type, who wants only for Hamlet to look for nice, quiet, safe activities. Of course, Quince is always there, ready to pick up the pieces and provide comfort after the inevitable disaster.

The illustrations are both intricate and delightful. It takes a kid to notice many of the details. The first time we read the book my daughter said, "Look, Mom, the shopkeeper has to stand on phone books to see over the counter."

As a child of the 80s, it's only natural that I was a fan of star wars growing up. As a fan of books, it's only natural that sooner or later I'd get involved in reading star wars. Admittedly, while being a fan of the original trilogy, and SOME parts of the prequels, I never touched a star wars book or comic before in my life. A co-worker lent me this book some months ago. Recently with the whole star wars turns 30 celebration, I watched the original trilogy on DVD again and got 'bit by the bug' as they say. The same happened to me with the star trek 40th birthday, grabbing onto the original series on DVD as well as as many paperbacks as I could. Anyway, enough back story ;)

I was pleasantly surprised by how good this book was. I wasn't expecting that much but from start to finish, this book has that authentic spirit of star wars. And it centers around one of my favoirte characters, Han Solo.

The characterization is spot on. Han, always looking out for number one seems to have an uncanny knack of getting involved in situations where he ends up being the hero, whether he likes it or not. The ironic part of it is is that he's GOOD at it! This book carries that characterization out very well.

Just looking for ship's repairs and mock up trader papers, Han gets involved in a conspiracy involving the galactic Trade Authority in which 'enemies' of the Authority just happen to disappear without a trace.

The play between Han, Chewbacca and the rest of teh characters, both good and bad (especially the droids..we all know how he feels about them) is really fun to read and there's plenty of action in the grand star wars fasion that, as fans, we're used to and have come to expect. My next read is going to be Han Solo's revenge and I can't wait. Highly recommended to any Star Wars fan, hardcore and casual alike.

The book is great. It was what I expected and it came so soon after ordering.

I was looking for a book which goes beyond the usual cliches about North Korea, so although I wasn't that interested in literature I bought this book. It provides a fascinating look at a North Korea that I hadn't known existed. We all tend to think that the personality cult kicked in right after 1945, but this book shows that it developed over time, with literary figures like Han Sorya playing a large role in developing what Myers calls the "iconography" of the personality cult. The book is also entertaining, since it describes the various factional struggles inside the literary scene. The analysis of Han's novels is very wittily done. After reading this book, I felt that I knew the North Korea of the forties and fifties.

This is really the only study of North Korean culture in English, but it is also indispensable for historians and political scientists. Myers' explanation of the DPRK's glorification of spontaneous impulses/rages etc goes a long way towards explaining that country's long list of idiotically self-defeating terrorist acts - from the ax murders at the DMZ to the Rangoon bombing.

very, very thorough book. it covers essentially every common diseaes state and the treatment for each. i highly recommend it.

Handbook includes disease states, and categorizes medications of primary choice, and provides secondary alternatives. There are excellent abbreviated text outlining etiology and pathophysiological parameters. As well as step wise flow charts as a decision tool and guideline. The tables for medication dosing and comparability between different classes of drugs are extremely helpful, visually and content wise! In hospital pharmacy practice, this handbook has been my peripheral brain.
