Be Prepared: A Practical Handbook for New Dads87 reviews
Gary Greenberg, Jeannie Hayden

Simon & Schuster, 2004

"According to my Daddy book..."
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. I'm planning to buy this soon: Business and Legal Forms for Authors and Self Publishers

1001 Ways to Market Your Books: For Authors and Publishers121 reviews
John Kremer

Open Horizons, 2000

The best book marketing book--EVER!!
Where to begin... Oh, there's a good place. That is what you will ask yourself after you read this masterpiece. With all of this information "WHERE DO I BEGIN?" This book is a monster. It is jam-packed with more (high-quality) information than any other book on the subject. There is absolutely no fluff in this book, which is a drag when you consider how much of it there is to read. 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! Everyone's library should include it. Yes, in the age of the internet you can google the info - but what happens when your internet connection is down, or you are working in the yard?
  
  











  



  
Dog Owner's Home Veterinary Handbook83 reviews
Delbert G. Carlson, James M. Giffin

Howell Book House, 1992

Dog Owner's Home Veterinary Handbook
I have a couple of paperback first aid books for dogs but I wanted something more comprehensive. We live in a rural area so a quick trip to the vet not possible. This does not take the place of seeing a vet when necessary, but the book gives easy to understand answers for many everyday problems and well organized.
  
  











  



  
Sell Your Book on Amazon: The Book Marketing COACH Reveals Top-Secret "How-to" Tips Guaranteed to Increase ...122 reviews
Brent Sampson

Outskirts Press, 2007

The First Place to Start Your Book Promotion
I've read a lot of books on self publishing. 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

Three Rivers Press, 2003

Information To Teh Safer Side
A family from my town in Wisconsin recently appeared on the Montel Show. Watching the show one had to feel for the terrible ordeal that the family went through during their violent home invasion. At the end of the show Montel brought out a security expert named Tom Patire. Mr. Patire's comments were for everyday people and his tone and way of speaking showed his compasion for human life and left ...

The Conscientious Marine Aquarist: A Commonsense Handbook for Successful Saltwater Hobbyists71 reviews
Robert M. 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 ...

Michael Dubruiel

Our Sunday Visitor, 2002

How to enjoy mass by understanding what's going on....
Very good - Would love to have all my confirmation students read this. It really stops you and makes you think about all the stuff you do automatically and the meaning behind it.
  
  











  



  
Thinkertoys: A Handbook of Creative Thinking Techniques: FIRST EDITION63 reviews
Michael Michalko

Ten Speed Press, 1991

An Essential Guide for Creative Thinking
This book, together with my treasured Roger von Oech books, sit prominently on my bookshelf when working on a variety of problems - software development, film production, creative writing for scripts or novels, and developing opportunities in this mediacentric age. These books break open your mind from the restrictive fences imposed on our thinking by the conventional world that we are surrounded ...

Back to Basics70 reviews
Robert Dolezal

Readers Digest, 1981

I will now retreat from civilization
One of my top ten books. I am an avid outdoorsman and believe in being prepared(Boy Scout Motto) to take care of one's self "off the grid". This book might as well be my bible. It does skim a little on some subjects but on the whole it gives a thorough enough explanation of all the skills one would need to scout out, build, propagate, and flourish on a frontier farm. Excellent illustrations to ...

Joseph C. Jenkins

Jenkins Publishing (PA), 1996

Great for the environment
Due to a plumbing fault in the house, my family have been composting in the back garden on a daily basis for over a year. What a bonus to stumble upon this book and find out that our actions have been helping to preserve the future of our planet! A number of residents in our street have complainined that the local environment has been suffering from some kind of unpleasant air pollution of late, ...
  
  











  



  
Read Aloud Handbook81 reviews
Jim Trelease

Peter Smith Pub Inc, 2003

Outstanding book - even if you already read aloud to your kids
Let me start by saying I've become thrifty since I had children. Given that I don't work outside the home as much as I once did, I've been getting my books from the library at least as much as I've been buying them, but this is a book I have to own! Jim Trelease is "preaching to the choir" with me, as we read to our children before they were even born, and then continued since the day they ...
  
  











  



  
Web Standards Solutions: The Markup and Style Handbook (Pioneering Series)52 reviews
Dan Cederholm

friends of ED, 2004

Excellent book!
This is an excellent book that all web designers should own. When I look at people's sites, I often validate them just out of curiosity, and it is so rare that I ever find a valid site. I always pay attention to validation, and this book just validates (for lack of a better term) my opinions on the importance of following web standards. This book is good for helping with workarounds for ...
