Running Books

Although chocolate can be difficult to work and work with, the recipes in this book are simple and straight-forward. I made the MS Mud Pie a few days ago, and it came out perfectly. Very simple instructions, great recipes, and mouthwateringly decadent desserts and treats....a definite must-have for the dessert lover!

The photography alone is worth the price of this book. Simple, tempting, and no calories. Send this book to every chocolate lover you know.

I am a MS Soccer Coach and quite frankly never knew half the things I read about in Thompson's book. I found it very refreshing, and quite entertaing. The skills and drills were also very helpful. Where has this book been?

As a reluctant "volunteer" coach for my daughter's soccer team, my previous soccer experience consisted of watching the Carolina Courage play. I knew I needed help and turned to my local bookstore for a "Soccer for Dummies" type book. What I found, instead, was this wonderful book by Coach Thompson. It is concise, humorous, informative and jam-packed with ideas for making coaching fun. He doesn't leave anything out and the plays that are included are presented in such detail, even I could understand them! I highly recommend this book for any coach, parent or soccer lover.

Amazingly, this little booklet gives you an amazing amount of information about how to throw a cocktail party, including plenty of recipes for the old favs as well as trendy drinks and theme parties. With its wine markers, umbrellas, and plastic monkeys and mermaids, it's a great gift for the hostess or stocking stuffer. What fun!

This would be a swell stocking stuffer! If, like me, you think cocktails are lots of fun, then you've got to get one of these for yourself and more for your friends. The little box has a little book with recipes for all kinds of cocktails (even ones you thought you knew) and most of what else you need, too (except for barware and liquids, of course). There are six plastic hanging monkeys, six cute metal drink markers, and even six bright colorful paper umbrellas. Lots of drinking fun without the possiblity of a hangover!

If you wonder what XO or Fine Champagne stands for this book is for you. The Cognac Companion provides helpful information on how to read Cognac labels, what glassware to use, and if your favorite Cognac house accepts visitors. The Cognac house listing is a great way to expand your knowledge beyond what you might find in your local retailer. I would recommend this book to the casual consumer as well as the connoisseur.

I love this book! Cognac is my favorite drink and this little book packs so much info. I love reading about the popular AND obscure cognac houses. The pictures are great and I would like to use it as my tour guide for France one day!

Authoritatively written by Gary P. Cohen (Producing Director of Plays-in-the-Park of Edison, New Jersey, one of the most well-know and respected community theaters in America), The Community Theater Handbook: A Complete Guide To Organizing And Running A Community Theater is a comprehensive, superbly organized, practical, "real world" instructional guide covering the process of securing the rights to produce a play, auditions, the rehearsal process, technical aspects, and much, much more. A well-rounded, informative guide well seasoned with years of experience, The Community Theater Handbook should be a part of every community theater's reference shelf.

Gary P. Cohen's book is an excellent guide giving the ins and outs and the honest facts in successfully establishing and running your own community theater. Cohen speaks about all aspects of theater from auditions, to lighting, to directing giving first hand knowledge from his own personal experiences and triumphs. I highly recommend this thorough handbook to anyone wishing to become involved in and learn more about community theater, begin their own community theater organization, or looking for a guide on how to make their current theater better.

This is a very informative book and excellently presented to all aspects of the golf game. Recommend for all classes of golfers.

Tiger's book had lots of nice pictures, this book has more, just that they are not Tiger. Despite that, I find this book to contain a wealth of useful information for golfers ranging from beginning to advanced levels. Lots of valuable playing experience regarding chipping, putting, trouble shots, advanced fade/draw/slice/hook techniques have been condensed into this easy to read volume. You can find almost every conceivable golf shot described in this book. Highly recommended.

I picked up this book at a bookstore and started reading it. It was amazing, so I bought it. I've never been the best coach of my abilities, so I thought the book would help. And it has--immensely. The book is painstakingly detailed, researched (sources at the end of each chapter)--basically, it's the best running book out there.

This book by a world class athlete with over 40 world records is very easy to read due to the frequent headings, colour coding throughout, 50 action photos in colour, and the conversational,concise writing style.

Due to the great detail (e.g., comprehensive index, and over 300 expert references) in 440 pages and 22 chapters, it serves as an excellent reference book on running. However, half the chapters are applicable to athletes in general: e.g., large chapters on nutrition, mental training, injury prevention, weight training, stretching, inspiration etc. Hence it is a book on body, mind and spirit training.

The detailed material would be useful for coaches and trainers, and a range of runners from beginner to elite, and for young and old competitors.

It covers all important aspects of running training including detailed schedules for sprinters to marathoners,i.e., the five energy systems, the five training systems, recovery, etc.

After reading and understanding this book you become your own running coach and an athlete capable of excellence in performance.

Complete and concise log allows you document your training runs,races, changes in workouts. Includes motivational quotes, essays on self improvement and wit from well known personalities to lively up your mood when your times don't. Three thumbs up!

I've used this log to record my running mileage for nearly twenty years and it has everything a runner might need: record of mileage, ample space for comments, separate pages to record races and a summary of weekly mileage. Note: Jerome's week starts on Monday and ends on Sunday.

I sell cookies. I love cookie books. You never know when you might come across a really interesting cookie. This is a really interesting cookie book.

This is the best cookie book I've found. There's a color photo showing how each cookie should look, easy directions and the recipes are for a wide assortment of cookie favorites. It's has interesting bits of history and pictures of antique cookie jars. It would be a lovely gift for anyone.

I gave this book to my two year old for his birthday which is right before Christmas, he loves it, and we have to read it at least three times a day. Since he loved it, I got three more of the books in this series for him for Christmas. Each book has over 50 flaps and he has already memorized them all. We love this series.

My four year old son is obsessed with construction machines, and is also looking forward to Christmas. This book unites Christmas and construction -- what a rare find! It also has lift-the-flaps, which my two year old daughter loves. Something for everyone! Now I want to collect the other titles in the series!
