I bought this for my husband to announce that we were expecting. He skimmed though it once and while he found it funny, he put it on the shelf to collect dust the next nine months. Once our son arrived I blew off the dust and left it in plain sight for him to remind him he had it. Our son is now 7 weeks old and he has read it at least 20 times cover to cover and will go back to reference it ...             Information Technology Control and Audit90 reviews Auerbach Publications, 1999 Useful reference material This book has some material relevant to the CISA examination based on the 2003 content areas, although it is not organized or focused as a CISA examination guide. If you are looking for CISA review material for the test, I would strongly suggest to stick with ISACA's combination of review manual and questions CD. I also searched everywhere for study aids for this grueling test and ended up using ...             The Self-Publishing Manual: How to Write, Print and Sell Your Own Book243 reviews Dan Poynter Para Publishing, 1997 Amazing book, but too optimistic This manual is amazing. But be carefuk: the author is so optimistic that you might end up spending more money than your book can fetch in sales. Also, it doesn't cover legal issues.

Every ...             Code Complete: A Practical Handbook of Software Construction100 reviews Steve McConnell Microsoft Press, 2004 Invaluable, Well Presented Information There is probably not a whole lot to say about this book that has not been said already, but it certainly deserves another positive review nonetheless. I bought this book thinking that I did not have a whole lot to learn from it. I was certain I had read enough 'better coding' material in the past to know what good code was and how to produce it. I am sure you will not be surprised when I ...             Pocket Ref95 reviews Thomas J. Glover Sequoia Pub, 2002 Everything a guy needs to know The amount of info packed into this guide is amazing!

I decided on self publishing for myself because I didn't want to take 18 months to get a book published, and I didn't want to share the profits if I had to do the marketing anyway. The problem with these types of self publishing books is that they contain a lot of information on self publishing, but in the marketing chapters the marketing ...             Tom Patire's Personal Protection Handbook: Absolutely Everything You Need to Know to Keep Yourself, Your ...150 reviews Tom Patire Three Rivers Press, 2003 Information To Teh Safer Side A family from my town in Wisconsin recently appeared on the Montel Show.

Fenner Chapters Pub Ltd, 1997 A good foundation. I have been keeping a marine tank for less than 1 year. I got tired of just using the internet for all my knowledge-base of marine aquariums; spending many hours digging through all the forums for whatever current problem/issue i had, reading so many conflicting opinions and answers from 'experts', and often ending up at least as confused as when i began. So I bought this book, read it, and ...             The How-To Book of the Mass: Everything You Need to Know but No One Ever Taught You52 reviews Michael Dubruiel Our Sunday Visitor, 2002 How to enjoy mass by understanding what's going on....
