Marshall Smith's K.I.S.S. method is amazing
This book is the best golf instruction I have ever received. I've spent thousands of dollars on lessons and training aids and they haven't helped me near as much as this book did. Many instructors make golf way to complicated. Marshall Smith has realized this and implemented his philosophy the "K.I.S.S Method." This book makes perfect sense and is easy to understand. Since reading the ...

Here there be Monsters and Wizards
Tom Pomplun and the Graphic Classics team just keep getting better. This latest release is another anthology collection, bringing us some of the more obscure tales from famous authors like L. Frank Baum, as well as the grand slam home run of Mary Shelley. I love these anthology collections the best, for the chance to be introduced to some new authors as well as seeing adaptations of some of my ...

Follow a Dream!
Ted Mason's dream is to be a naval officer and a pilot, a dream that goes sour when his mother dies and he's virtually kidnapped by an alcoholic, half lunatic, stunt-pilot father. Several years pass before Ted has his chance to get into the navy, not the academy, but as a recruit using an assumed name. The enlistment begins his long struggle to maintain an identity not his own, and to ...

Fender: The Sound Heard 'Round the World

More than a reference book or fan tribute.
I have a half dozen books on the Fender company and this is by far the best. The typical vintage guitar book serves two functions. It gives information on the history of the instrument - guides to production dates, etc. In addition there are usually lots of pictures for lovers of vintage instruments to salivate over ("guitar porn" as I've seen it described before). This book delivers in ...

A clear strategy for landing those big customers!
Kudos to Tom Searcy and Barbara Weaver Smith for this unique and high value business strategy for successfully landing transformational accounts. Having been on both the sales side of a small entrepreneurial company (a whale hunter) and the chief executive of a corporation with revenues in excess of $1B (a whale), I can relate to both the challenges that face small companies when they attempt to ...

Unprecedented Access + A Brilliant Eye = Extraordinary History Lesson
Aside from the stunning photography which I'll get to, this important book gave me new insights into a mostly overlooked Presidency. Kennerly documented the Ford Presidency and shows us the actual moments that some of the most significant decisions in American history were made- the Nixon pardon and leaving Vietnam to name two- thus revealing Ford as a true leader and rare politician willing to ...

The reader is presented with a comprehensive history of these obscure institutions that have spawned dramatically since the start of the 20th-century.

Mother of a 3 year old
This book combines 2 things my little boy loves: Sesame Street characters and the beach, but I love getting to work on his counting skills. I've been a bit worried about his counting skills and his ability to recognize numbers, thinking maybe he even dyslexic. But no matter what your child's math skills, I think they would enjoy this little book.

Definitive guide to umpiring and scoring
Tom Smith's "Cricket Umpiring and Scoring" is probably one of the most comprehensive guides to the skills of officiating in the game of cricket available. It is an indispensible companion for umpires and scorers alike. It not only includes the 42 Laws of the game with their notes (as compiled and released by the MCC in the 1980 Code), but it has full definitions and interpretations on each of ...

Refreshing!
Tom Smith did a fabulous job of showing us the human side of a controversial war. He tells how it was from an insiders point of view and in a very easy to read manner. It is refreshing to see that soldiers, even in times of war, are able to stay in touch with their needs ... are able to laugh a little ... and not be consumed by their surroundings. I was sucked into this book from the very ...

A Classic Shadowrun Adventure Series
What you have here is not a sourcebook. It is a set of 5-6 adventures in one package that all relate to each other in a way you probably won't expect. The adventures all (eventually) link to a pivotal character in the Shadowrun universe. It's actually one of the few adventures that has you connect so closely to a pivotal character (kinda). That character is Harlequin (i.e. Laughing Man for those ...

Great pocket guide for tourists visiting Alaska
Interesting and well-written book on 35 of the most popularland and marine mammals in Alaska. Quick and amusing stories on each animals. All the boring facts (color, size, etc.) are set off in a fact box for quick reference. Nice color pictures although they are a bit small. Cover has a lynx on it - not what you'd think of for Alaska- but a great cover shot...

A Great Book for Absolute Beginners
Please note -- This book is exactly what the title says -- a BEGINNING shepherd's manual. If, like me, you are a beginner, you'll appreciate the clear and consise language the author uses to explain sheep and various aspects of sheep production. After reading this book, you'll know what questions to ask if you're considering raising a small flock. A more advanced book on the subject is ...
