Exactly what I ordered
We have to purchase summer reading novels for my son's school work. The site the school sent was expensive... so we checked out Amazon (comparing the isbn #.) We saved 50% and recieved the book in a week. The book was in excellent condition.

Bantam

must have for every person
This is probably the 9th copy of this book I have purchased! Most of my entire wedding ceremony speech and vows came from it. I give it to everyone special to me, especially when they are having a hard time finding peace in the moment. This book is amazing. Never read it cover to cover, and never read too many of the very short and simple passages at one time. Just read one or two and soak them ...

Amazon 'Look Inside' hopeless for translated works
One of the great virtues of a 'Look Inside' feature should be to let you see how different translators present a work. Not so at Amazon, where what you're reading may come from any edition they have, not the one you're browsing. Useless and of course disrespectful to the reader, translator and author.

A MUST READ for EVERYONE
Everyone should be required to read this. Should be a required "reading" in all Psychology classes. Simply put, and an easy read with basic, practical, understandable principles to produce peaceful living in yourself and those around you. Follows the Biblical concept of "If you know the right thing to do, and do not do it, it is sin".

Involved...
I became so involved in the unfolding of Perfect to Paul that I had to put the book down for a few days to get myself together. Once I picked it up I didn't put it down until it was finished. Daniel Black is a very talented writer. I would love to see this on the big screen.

Really great
This book is great. It has pointed out 10 main points which everyone needs in life. Once I started reading, could not restrain myself to finish it. It helped me to organize my thoughts. I recommend everyone to read this book. Its short, handy and low weight so can be carried everywhere in hand or bag. I bought used one, but it was like new. Pages are well adorned with flowery pics, so good to see.

A beautiful story rich in imagery and symbolism
The year is 1942, the setting a boys' school in New Hampshire, the narrator Gene Forrester, now in his thirties, as he looks back at his last years at Devon School for Boys. His room-mate and best friend was Phineas, athletic and enigmatic, processing a charm, vitality and way with words that would soften the hardest of masters. Gene, excelling academically while Phineas does in sports, takes us ...

So, Like, I Needed Some Light Summer Reading for the Beach
I was going to Cabo on Spring Break with my BFFs and needed something to keep me totally occupied while I work on my tan. Plus, I don't think they even get MTV in Mexico so I couldn't watch The Hills or Laguna Beach or whatever. "Russian Literature?" my ex-friend asked. "If you can't handle me reading 1296 pages about the Napoleonic invasion of Austria in 1805 while on vaycay you can take ...

Jimmy Carter

A work from our senior American statesman
Whether you are a fan of Jimmy Carter or not, it's difficult to impute bias in this work. President Carter's experience in Middle Eastern affairs, especially as they relate to Israel, makes him the reference standard writer on conflict and remediation of conflict in that area. In reading 'Palestine Peace Not Apartheid' (there's no colon in the title), I found President Carter's tone to be even ...

Hope of Stand Alone Children
I bought all three of these books for our children in hopes they would use Dave Ramsey's thinking and put it in action while they are still young. The way things look they will not have any social security to fall back on. But also I hope it shows them that they do not have to play the keeping up with the Jones's game, to be content with what you have and live within your means. I truely feel ...

Teaches, or reinforces, lessons in kindness, tolerance, individuality, and self-love.
In typical Todd Parr fashion, "The Peace Book" is simple and colorful. It is sure to attract the eye of any child.

In addition to all the above, this little book even touches on connecting with nature and being ...

It is an excellent book. Wish I had read it years ago. I recommend that everyone read it once even if you are not having problems with personal relationships. It will bring the whole issue of human relationships in proper perspective.

History of the Middle East Made Interesting
Responsible citizens of the West today cannot afford to ignore the history of the Middle East. As other reviewers here have commented, this book alone will not serve to enlighten you on all that is going on in the Middle East today. However it is a good start, and it illustrates what has worked and what has not worked in the past when the West has dealings with Middle Eastern cultures and ...

Great BBQ and Great Stories
I was first turned on to Mike Mills BBQ on a business trip to Carbondale, Illinois four years ago. I asked the client if there was some good local BBQ, and they clued me in on the 17th Street Bar and Grill in Murphysboro. (Note: Always seek a local recommendation for local BBQ, they'll seldom let you down.) The ribs there were the best ribs I've ever had outside of Memphis. In fact, only the ...
