Brian Knight delivers a fun, twisty novel that is bound to give you the creeps. The book itself is impressive, with the cover art imprinted on the covers, and as beautiful as some small-press collector first editions. I had a lot of fun with this one, and you will too.

FERAL grabs hold of you with spine-chilling terror, rips out your frayed nerves and stamps them beneath its heavy heel. It's a rare thing when an author rises from obscurity to cammand such masterful control of the powerful emotion of pure horror, leading the reader into the ferocious worlds of the imagination thought left behind in the darkened closet with childhood's nightmares. Knight's Bogey Man captures that savage gleam of fright like a tight fist around your neck and wrings it relentlessly. If you're looking for a warm story where good triumphs handily over evil, where the light shuns the darkness, this certainly isn't it... But if you want a taut, gut-wrenching, emotional beating that leaves you hesitant to turn off the TV at bedtime for fear of what might just be leering out at you from the crack in the closet door once again, then buy this book!

Remember the name Brian Knight... you'll be hearing it a lot in the near future.

After being pestered by close friends that I really needed to read this Feral, by Brian Knight, I finally relented and I am so glad that I did. This is a true page turner. I am not an avid reader and it has been years since I was able to complete a full novel. This one, I started reading at work and actually would be disappointed to get customers coming in because I had to put my book down.
The first scene in the book will really grab ahold of you and keep you breathless and turning pages til it is the last page and you are crying for more. I can't sing high enough praises on the descriptive writings of Mr.Knight.
Mr. Knight truely makes the boogie man and the people who are fighting against him come to life. You will feel like you have known these people all your life, not just a cheap trick this book is definately the real deal. WOW

Feral is a great thriller bound to give anyone a serious case of the creeps. I couldn't put it down. I even skipped a meal while reading it, and anyone that knows me would tell you that's saying something.

Feral is the story of a Bogey Man that takes children, and murders parents. A child named Charity was taken by the Bogey Man, but had a chance to escape. She runs to a place called Feral Park, a playground that is home to more than meets the eye...

Highly recommended for any fan of horror, or anyone that simply wants a good book to read. It just got added to my shelf of favorites.

He comes to you when you are sleeping and if you are lucky you'll wake up in your own home. Sometimes he kills their parents and disappears with the children. Charity has had disturbing dreams and night tremors of the Bogey Man before one night he killed her mother and took her. He kept her alive because she was special to him.

Gordon Chambers has searched for six long years for Charity and he thinks by following the trail of dead parents and missing children he will finally find her at the end of the current dead trail in a small town in Washington. Sharon sees Charity in a spooky playground where supernatural events happen and brings her home because she was wearing her dead daughter's clothes given to Charity by the Bogey Man. Charity knows the only place she'll be safe from the Bogey man is in the Feral Park playground where the abandoned and abused children hide in a dimensional nexus. When Charity disappears into the park, Sharon and Gordon vow to get her back alive and keep her safe from the Bogey Man.

Anyone who wants a decent night sleep should not read FERAL. It is a frightening horror novel that needs broad daylight to somewhat keep the nightmares away. Brian Knight will appeal to fans of Bentley Little and those who like being scared out of their wits. This tale will accomplish that.

I spent a year hiking and exploring the entire state of Washington for this trail guide. I hiked many of the trails, visited the trail heads, and talked to many local rangers and hikers. I made sure to include the best, most accurate information to help you pick a hike and hit the trail, from short day hikes to week long backpacking trips.

I believe a variety of hikers will find this guide helpful, whether you are looking for new hike ideas, enjoy exploring new areas of the state, or need information on that out-of-the-way trail you've been meaning to hike. And I think backpackers will find this guide indispensable.

Cheers, Scott

While I would like to see a quick map of where I am considering hiking, it's nice to have a thorough guide for the whole state in one book.

Great book. Very thorough and informative. I actually bought one for a friend who was moving to Seattle, but I liked it so much I kept it for myself!

This is the best hiking/camping book for Washington. It is small, just the right amount of information to get me there and get me excited. Great descriptions, it has definantly helped with my spring hiking and camping choices. Perfect for ever glove compartment!

You need to get this book. It's indispensable in helping you choose what to hike, what to bring, what to leave at home, and what to expect when you get there (especially the little annoying hidden things, like parking fees). Seeing the maps of the hiking trails helped me a lot too. I hope you get this book before you go hiking because you might regret it if you don't.

We have been reading and collecting books about trees and wood for quite some time now, so Forest Giants... caught our attention. We do visit `trees' from time to time, so the opportunity to call on familiar trees once again was intriguing.

It seemed the author's intention to create a useful guidebook, thus he has done a marvelous job of locating and describing the trees. The addition of the lovely, hand drawn portraits makes the book quite personal and reveals Mr. Van Pelt's great love of the trees. The photos also seem homemade and have not been overly processed, so they have a `snapshot-for-the-scrapbook' look also. Together with the rather prosaic text, they draw the reader into daydreaming about the trees and being with them. We liked that aspect of the book very much. The author's enthusiasm will be infectious to some; we hope that this book will inspire the preservation of these incredible living individuals. (Yes, it's possible we were once Druids.)

The softbound cover was a great disappointment in a $30 book. It deserves a hard cover and so we will most likely make a hard slipcover for it ourselves, since Forest Giants... will go into our library.

This book rocks! It inspires as well as informs! The line drawings are especially amazing. Van Pelt selects specific angles for each drawing, such that he captures the unique qualities of each individual tree. These renderings are beautiful and accurate. Each one can be studied for hours. The photographs could have been a bit more creative, but he follows an effective strategy by showing a human in most pictures. This allows the reader to understand the immense size of these giants. The text provides an excellent natural history, conveying to the reader an intertwined tale of ecology, history, and discovery. Lastly, I was especially impressed with the fact that Van Pelt included so many tree species and individuals. By doing this he has allowed us to truly appreciate the diversity, beauty and uniqueness of these amazing trees.

This is an awesome book of personal accounts, illustrations, and photographs of magnificent individuals of Pacific coast conifers. Van Pelt knows these trees like no one else, having journied to, measured, and stood in awe at each of the giants depicted. His writes with witty reverence and from a deep understanding of the ecology of giant trees. Featured in the book are the author's beautiful line drawings of the trees, which capture the amazing structural complexity of their crowns in a way not possible with photographs. This book is a must for all tree lovers and those interested in coffee table adventuring into the last great forests of the Pacific coast.

This is a must see, must read book about "Forest Giants." If I had the loot to RV this would be a road map to follow. As a nurseryman I appreciated the detailed information about each species, the beautiful handrawn representatives of each major tree of the group -- be it Incense Ceder, Fir, Spruce etc.

Despite 35 plus years in horticulture, this book had much I could learn from. It is wonderfully written and illustrated.

I cannot think of no better book I could have gifted myself for my Christmas yet to come.

Secateur

This book affects people deeply. Certainly it did me. It is a simple and absolutely passionately beautiful account of giant trees, how they're discovered, how they're measured. Van Pelt's drawings are amazing. I think this book is a classic and I think it will live in print for many, many years.

I read this book on the advice of someone else. As a I began reading it, I was stunned because it seemed like the author had tapped into my life! I've read a lot of self-help books before, but they all seemed to handle just one aspect my life. This book covered almost everything.

Reading this book, I was able to identify and finally put a name to many things I'd always suffered from. She calls them Nobodies, which I considered an apt description of myself.

What I really like about it, is that it's told from her perspective. She's been through all of this and she got better! It's not a book full of impersonal goals. The fact that she, herself, conquered these issues makes it seem possible that I can too.

Her style of writing is very accessible. I didn't feel overwhelmed with technical terms and definitions.

Overall, I think this is a great book and would recommend it to anyone - men or women. I read selections of it to a male friend of mine, and he, too, could completely identify with it.

Already I've started to make improvements in my life with this book as a guide.

This book is an excellent source of advice and guidance for anyone, man or woman, who has ever wondered "who am I, really? Where do I belong in the world? How do I truly feel?" The author covers a multitude of subjects, all centered around answering those questions, overcoming fear, and learning to be assertive with others. She discusses the origins of anxiety and depression, a lack of identity, difficulty with anger, communication and relationship problems, grief, letting go, and fulfilling our own desires for our lives. The central focus of these clearly-written chapters is looking inward, to discover our true selves, the part of us we have hidden from the world for fear of rejection. I recommend it highly.

This book is magnificent...I read it in one night,because I couldn't put it down. If you are feeling lonely, unsure of yourself or where you are in life right now, or even just going through a grieving process, you must buy this book. I have anxiety & depression and have read many books in this genre. After reading this one, I felt as if I was not alone in my grief. We all struggle with our own demons, and this book teaches you how to battle them and learn to be yourself. If you are a person who is always the one who has to be "sorry" or take the blame - trust me - buy this book and you will learn how to assert yourself & finally say "no" tho those who use you as their doormat.

FREE SPIRIT will help you as no other book can; believe me, I've read many a "self-help" book in my own search for relief. This book is for any woman (or man!) who seems to lose herself in her relationships, who lacks a full sense of her own identity and wants/allows others to define her, who doesn't feel entitled to happiness, who always puts the needs of others first at her own expense. It's well-written, intelligent, witty, and heartfelt. Dr. Raphael writes in a very personal tone; as one of my friends who also read the book says, it feels as if she's sitting right next to you. And since the author has been through the pain herself herself and come through with integrity on the other side, she has credibility. She doesn't dictate to you who you should be; she gives you the TOOLS to enable you to find yourself on your own. If you are in pain, wondering when the time will ever come for you to feel good about yourself, RUN to order this book. Or give it to a friend who's going through a tough time. A friend gave a copy to me; it helped me more than I can begin to describe, and at a time when I desperately needed it. I'm sure it can help you, too.

In this superb novel the linguist Jeremy Cook (introduced in the mystery novel, "Double Negative," 1980), is hired by a marriage-counseling firm, the Pillow Agency, which "embeds" linguists in the homes of couples with troubled marriages, the theory being that so much marital strife is due to faulty communication. Jeremy's instructions are to follow the steps enumerated in the "Pillow Manual" he is issued, but he finds he has to fall back on his own training and good nature to keep things afloat. It is not necessary to have read "Double Negative" to enjoy this installment, but it is always satifying to know more of the background of the characters when encountereing them for a second time. The third title in the series, "The Error of Our Ways," was published in 1997. Obviously Carkeet was not pressured to keep Jeremy Cook constantly beofre the public, but the novels are all the better for that.

David Carkeet is known more for his young adult fiction, but I find him a very satisfying author of light adult fiction that carries a running intellectual thread. The characters are not so quirky that they are contrived nor so stereotypical as to be completely predictable; unfortunately they do demonstrate the suspicion that a higher education does not guarantee success in any endeavor. The ironies are not particularly inspired but part of the charm of this and also his "Double Negative" is the way events unfold with an unremarkable inevitability. I enjoy this book. I put it in the category of Patrick Dennis.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. The Full Catastrophe is as compelling and potent as a mystery, despite the fact that the "detective" in this case is linguist Jeremy Cook, and he bumbles through several well-meaning attempts to discover what the "horror" in the Wilson's marriage is. Carkeet's wit is intoxicating, yet he manages to take a back seat to the characters and let the day-in-the-life story unfold with perfect pacing. I can't ignore the probable similarities between Jeremy Cook and Carkeet, but one thing marks a clear distinction: Jeremy knows nothing about marriage until Carkeet unveils it to him.

Linguist-in-residence Jeremy Cook returns for an unlikely debut as live-in counselor to a couple trying to fix their sputtering marriage. There are laughs on every page in this entertaining dissection of holy matrimony. Jeremy moves in with the prosperous Wilsons and tries his best to get beneath their language, to analyze the "horror at the core" of their relationship

A live-in linguist tries to save a marriage - a comic gem. Highly recommended

This easy reader is a delightful story to share with all students. The information gained about President Washington is unforgettable. Children will love that George named his dog "Sweetlips" and they won't forget that he was super kind and honest to one of his enemies! This book will be a staple in classrooms across the country and this true story of George may replace his "Cherry Tree" tale.

I used this title with a class I teach to American children overseas. They really enjoyed it as a read-aloud and couldn't believe that it was true! I like that the back page had a copy of the original note sent as well as photos of drawings/paintings of Howe and Washington. The illustrations aren't spectacular, but the children loved it.

This book is great for kids and parents. Teachers should read this book because it teaches good morals, foe children. I also like this book because of the dogs, and writing crafts in it. Hopefully Frank Murphy will keep writing kids books. If you buy this book you will be satisfied

There is so much to this book than noted at first glance. First, we get a great dose of history told in a way children can understand it. Secondly, we learn some little known facts about our first president. Thirdly, we have animals, something neither kids nor adults can ever get enough of and fourthly, we get a story packed full of morals. But that is not all. The illustrations are very well executed and a delight. The text is simple an to the point and goes quite well with the illustrations. The book makes some very complicated situations and states them simply in a very nice story. I enjoy this one almost as much as the children do. This is a good work to read to the class as it generates good discussions. Recommend this one highly.

My six-year-old son brought this title home from his school library. We read it together several times, and one night I found him meticulously copying a page from the book. My son hated to return the book, and I knew I had to buy it--for both of us! It tells a little-known story about Washington in a charming, beautifully illustrated manner that everyone (especially dog lovers) will love.

After a brief lull at Mount Vernon, the victorious general of the Revolution found himself harnessed unwillingly into the first presidency of the infant United States. Flexner handily traces Washington's first term, from the foundation of a new government on an untried Constitution to the internecine warfare in his own cabinet that threatened to split that government and sink the republican experiment.

I was somewhat disappointed when I received this book. When I looked for it on your web site, I did a search, and had asked for only hardcovers, so I missed the part on this item that indicated it was a hardcover. I normally collect only hardcovers, and would not have spent $38 on a paperback book. Now, I still have to keep searching for a hardcover version, and I'm stuck with this paperback.

Admittedly, this was my own oversight, so I can only blame myself, but maybe you can fix the problem with your search engine, so when looking for ONLY HARDCOVERS, that is what the result gives.

This book is the third in a series by Flexner on the life of George Washington. I highly recommend this series for anyone seeking to really understand the founding fathers. Flexner draws his material from many different sources to dovetail the life of Washington with those around him. His attention to detail makes the book a facinating read from cover to cover. It is quite a journey you are taking with a great man. I am so glad that Flexner took the time to put together such a magnificent compilation of data. I feel so much more appreciative of George Washington for all that he did to hold our nation together in its formative years after reading this book. A must read for those who love history!

This the third installment of a four volume series by James Thomas Flexner on the life of George Washington taking us through the years 1783 - 1793.

We see Washington returning to his beloved acres... Mount Vernon, after the British are finally leaving the American shores. Washington is exhausted and wants to retire and live out his life in the resplendency of his home and family. We begin to see Washington open up so to speak, relaxing in his quiet country life. But again the matters of the New Nation are begining to pull and strain the rather reluctant Washington to a leadership roll.

Being a very popular figure in early American life... Washington now is growing in popularity and as such is called to lead the Constitutional Convention for ratification of a new and untested government. Washington is elected to become the First United States President. Flexner gives us a lot of detail and put into the writing feelings and emotions felt at the time.

From the writings that were written about Washington from his peers and thoughs of Washington to others, we again see Washington's fallibility, a man wrought with insecurity and heavy responsibilities trying to cope with a newly emerging government. Even present that others from overseas were watching and waiting for the new government to fail, but proving to them a government viable and alive. But, alas, Washington is now aging and retirement is begining to take hold once again in his life.

This volume take us through Washington's thoughts and thoughs of Jefferson and Hamilton and how does Washington really feel. Washington is now working harder than ever trying to forge this fledging government into a working model of that written on paper. We see Washington's self-doubts again arise... troubling him with insecurities. Then again, who can he trust, to give correct counsil and if he left too soon would the government fail. If he stayed too long, would he be no better than the Kings he fought. We feel Washington's dilemma.

I found this book to be very well written with sound documentation.

George Washington and the New Nation is actually the third in a four volume set, and continues to follow the life of George Washington after the Revolutionary War. From the years immediately following the last withdrawal of British Troops, up through the end of his first term as the President of the United States.

Flexner does an excellent job of describing the man behind the legendary hero. Through the actual writings of Washington, and those of his contemporaries, we see not only the "Great General" and the "Father of Our Country," but also see Washington as fellow human being, just as fallible as the rest of us.

This is also a remarkably telling book about the nature of politics and how in over 200 years, very little has changed. As distrustful as we are of todays politicians, Flexner's book puts those of Washington's days in an even less favorable light - and he uses their own words to do it.

Through this book (and the other volumes in the set) I gained an even deeper appreciation for the one who was "First in War...First in Peace...and First in the hearts of his Countrymen." I heartily encourage this book and this entire set to all.

Easy to read and interesting short stories of revolutionary war heroes. Good for middle and high school history students.Has many history facts not covered in other books

There are a great many books available for young readers on the subject of George Washington and the American Revolution. What sets Marc Stockwell-Moniz's George Washington's Unsung Heroes apart from the others is an emphasis on the ordinary people who involved themselves in carrying out the campaigns that led to the founding of the United States of America. While there are chapters about John Hancock, Paul Revere, and Alexander Hamilton, the primary focus is upon such usually overlooked figures as Salem Poor (an African-American soldier who fought at the Battle of Bunker Hill and was with George Washington and the Continental Army at Valley Forge); Phillis Wheatley (the first African-American slave to publish a book); John Peter Muhlenberg (an ordained minister who became a brigadier general in the Continental Army and later served three terms in the U.S. House of Representatives); Tench Tilghman (who served as Washington's aide-de-camp and secretary for two years without salary until Washington wrote to the Congress insisting that Tilghman be given a commission and a paycheck); as well as the stories of Benjamin Tallmadge (America's first "spy master"), and so many others. George Washington's Unsung Heroes is an important and recommended addition to school and community library American History and American Biography collections for young readers.

George Washington's Unsung Heroes tells the "behind the scenes" story of Revolutionary War America through the experiences of the men and women who made sacrifices for their new country. Some of the biggest names in American history are represented here (George Washington, Paul Revere, etc.), but this book shines when it tells the stories of little-known people who were also part of these turbulent times.

This is a great book for mid-school readers who want to know more about how the Revolutionary War affected the lives of "regular" people who weren't afraid to take a stand for freedom and independence. Inspiring and fascinating!

When it comes to history classes, my three kids have report after report due. George Washington's Unsung Heroes is the perfect resource book for those frequent assignments. The well-illustrated, clearly laid out hardcover tells the stories of many underreported or forgotten heroes of the Revolutionary War. Just what my kids need for their term papers!

One by one, the author walks the reader through more than 30 different, detailed biographies of heroes from the 18th century. It is written for an 8th grader but fine for a bright 5th grader. Many different types of heroism are discussed; each story includes personal sacrifice to make our nation come together.

The people in the book are a cross section of America at the time from an Anglo-Saxon man, to an African American woman, a Jew who helped finance the war, and many Christians. There are names you would expect, like Paul Revere, Samuel Adams, Henry Knox, and the Marquis de Lafayette. And there are names you don't see so often, like Salem Poor, Tench Tilghman, Mary Ludwig Hays, and the author's ancestors Daniel and Moses Stockwell.

If you have kids, it is a good purchase because you will use it for term papers for years to come. I saw it in my son's school library and I have been very happy to have this relatively inexpensive, securely hardbound book at home.

Mr. Moniz book teaches kids that heroes are not just the famous people of history. While it gives excellent accounts of the famous like Paul Revere and James Monroe, it gives homage to people we never heard of such as Salem Poor, an African American who fought at Bunker Hill.

The book provides an excellent incentive to young readers that one person can make a difference and every person should try.

The amount of research Mr. Moniz' put into this book is exemplified by the bibliograhy. The glossary does an excellent job of making archaic miltary and political terms understandable to youth.

I highly reccomend this book to be required reading for young students of American history. It should also be encouraged reading for young people who feel that they would like to contribute to their country someday. Many people in Mr. Moniz' book did so, selflessly, and to our shared benefit. This book is wonderful tribute to the "little guys" who made us a great contry.

There are lots of characters to loathe and love in this one. Derek, Holly Elliot's stepfather was a real brute. Being in the army, Derek was able to prevent Holly's father from leaving Vietnam. If Derek had been in the Marine Corps, he would never have pulled this off. A Marine would not have left a dead or wounded man behind to die, no matter how close the enemy was!

Jason Cole was every girl's dream man, one of the few KS heros with no flaws. His quick intelligence allowed him to see the real Holly within moments of meeting her. Both were beautiful, smart, and in love. But, Holly had a lot of gall getting angry at Jason when if not for him, she might never have known her father's fate! She was darn lucky he cared enough to get involved! He went through his own emotional battle over this, too!

Raven was a wonderful girl who deserved much happiness. Nicholas was fine, handsome, and totally in love with her. But towards the end, there was a scene where he was furious with Raven and spoke pretty ugly to her, then upon realizing his mistake, he's back 'in love' with her. His lack of trust in her wasn't even an issue. I wouldn't have dismissed the incident so easily.

Lawrence and Caroline were also a fine couple, but KS turned Lawrence into another one of her overly sensitive, sappy, soft men, like Rafe in STAR LIGHT, STAR BRIGHT. What a mush he was!

This was the first Katherine Stone novel that I read and it is one of the most moving and beautiful romance novels I have ever encountered. The two primary characters, Raven and Lauren/Holly, are among my favorites in fiction. Both are seriously wounded spiritually but are amazing survivors who never give up on the hope or dream of love. Their stories are emotionally gripping, and for readers who love to go though the maelstrom of emotions, this is a terrific choice. I highly recommend it. I have read almost all of Kathernine Stone's other novels, but this is the best and most satisfying.

Raven Winters, high profile attorney to the stars, is beautiful, rich and longing for someone to love her. She engages in many sexual affairs from the time she was 13 to the present. Her sex partners have told her she has ice in her veins. What they do not know is that Raven has been longing for someone to love her, truly love her. While jogging she meets Nicholas Gault--well doesn't really meet him, he almost runs over her. There romance proceeds from here. Raven thinks Nick is a landscape gardener and he doesn't tell her different--that actually he is a multimillionaire. They love, she meets his children (he's divorced)and she hopes he truly loves her. Read on.

Story two is multi Academy Award winner both as an actor and as a director, Jason Cole. He will be directing and starring in the story titled "Gift of Love" written by Lauren Sinclair. Lauren does not want Cole to change the ending to her story. Jason agrees to meet with reclusive writer, Lauren, and Raven. After 17 years away from the states, well renowned writer, Lauren agrees to travel from her home in Klondike, Alaska and meet with Jason. Lauren is carrying a lot of baggage from the past. When they meet something develops between Jason and Lauren. Lauren's real name is Holly Elliott and she has much tragedy in her life. Many wonderful things happen between Holly and Jason and all beautiful.

Lawrence Elliott meets lovely, rich Carolyn Hawthorne while cleaning animals caught in the "Valdez" oil spill. An attachment forms and soon, they fall in love. Read how these stories entwine and enjoy this warm, tragedy filled novel with "Happy Endings".

This is the best Katherine Stone novel yet!! I could read this book over and over again, and still find love, hope and happiness on every page!! Everyone who I've lent this book to, has cried and said that it was FANTASTIC!! You must read it!!! You can not put it down until you finish it!!

I just finished this book yesterday and it was one of those that you can't put down. Raven is a wealthy and succesful entertainment lawyer who has searched for love and never came out ahead. Holly is a romance author who is hiding from reality. Nick is a single dad that is trying to protect his family and heart. Jason is a actor/director/producer who has bought the rights to one of Holly's books. Holly doesn't want him to change it even though he has a right to. They are all connected enough to maintain in the same story but it is like reading 2 or 3 different stories within one book. You would think it would be somewhat confusing trying to keep track of who is connected to who and how but in this book it flows so smoothly that you don't even really think about it. This book is a romance without all the explicit love scenes but it isn't just a romance it's about the characters finding themselves and helping each other.

This is the resource that at last got me making and taking
herbal teas, instead of just thinking about it. The author's
tone is both informed and empathetic. The explanations both
of how body systems work and of how the health properties of herbs support the body are fascinating, plus the photos
and illustrations are beatifully designed.

I love this book! I check it out frequently for information about ailments and practical holistic solutions. Informative and easy to read.

It's a 'must have' for every household!

I love the simple and accessible healing treatments illustrated throughout the book. The instructions are clear and easy to follow. Having this information is like knowing your grandmother's home remedies that really work. No drugs, just plain, simple ingredients that make us well and keep us healthy. Thank you, Dr. Washington!

This book was a pleasure to read, the author's tone is that of a good friend giving sensible advice. More importantly, I find myself referring to the book every couple of weeks. The recipes for herbal teas are wonderful; they so intrigued me that I started gathering wild herbs on hiking trips and added some key herbs to my garden--I'll never buy herbal teas from the grocery store again.

The book is visually pleasing and easy-to-use as a reference.

A beautifully written & illustrated reference book that is easy to read and apply to your personal situation. It is a book that I keep reading over and over. I highly recommend this book to you and your friends.
