Getting Started in Stocks

14 reviews
Alvin D. Hall

John Wiley & Sons Inc, 1992

Very good beginning investment book
This book was an easy read to learn the basic terminology. And it's a nice reference book with a good "stock" glossary at the back of the book. After this, you'll be ready to read something a little for philosophical like Peter Lynch's masterpiece "One Up On Wall Street".

Kick Start Your Dream Business: Getting It Started and Keeping You Going

39 reviews
Romanus Wolter

Ten Speed Press, 2001

Essential reading for entrepreneurs
The vast majority of books on business and entrepreneurship focus heavily on theory and case study, and lack practical, easy-to-follow steps to help you get started. This book helps you to identify what you're passionate about, and how to go about creating a dream business around whatever it is that you enjoy. Romanus takes his years of experience working with literally hundreds of ...

great book for beginners
I've just started knitting socks and recommend this to other beginners. She's included instructions and charts for different sizes and different yarns. The hard back is durable for frequent referral.

Basic Stained Glass Making: All the Skills and Tools You Need to Get Started (Stackpole Basics)

21 reviews
Michael Johnston

Stackpole Books, 2003

Just What I needed
The title says it all. I went from never having worked with stained glass to completing the first two projects in the book - and it was fun! Now, I'm working on my first original stained glass design. This book is great for anyone new to stained glass - the step by step instructions would probably be excrutiatingly slow to someone who already has a lot of experience, but they were exactly what I ...

To Marry an English Lord or, How Anglomania Really Got Started

14 reviews
Gail MacColl, Carol McD. Wallace

Workman Publishing Company, 1989

What a World! What a World!
Those few of us who have wondered why in the world a comfortable, cosseted American girl would want to marry an Englishman and live in a cold climate in an even colder stone castle will find answers here, even if the answers aren't satisfactory to the modern ear. Think of it: wealthy American society girls, products of generations of men and women who gave lives and fortunes to escape a Royalist ...

Reagan's Revolution: The Untold Story of the Campaign That Started It All

12 reviews

Thomas Nelson, 2005

Filling Potholes in America's Timeline
Let's face it, history is effervescent with little, silent victories. The biggest victories (Waterloo, Gen. Washington, Robert Evans) always receive the press, the notoriety, and the Mucollough books (or novels, in her Lady Partisan's eyes). Now look at those little victories that receive so sparse a note. This is one of them. Now I am not a Reagan fan, I am not a conservative (I am not a ...

Getting Started with Latin: Beginning Latin for Homeschoolers and Self-Taught Students of Any Age

24 reviews
William E. Linney

Armfield Academic Press, 2007

Wow! Best language book I've ever used.
My husband and I are homeschooling our children, and have studied Russian, French, and Biblical Greek between us. When we decided to introduce Latin to our 2nd grader, we both dreaded finding a book that would be easy to learn from and interesting for our daughter. Now we are all learning Latin together - and having a great time. Our only dilemma now is to decide how to proceed when we finish ...

Getting Started in Value Investing (Getting Started In.....)

Charles Mizrahi

Wiley, 2007

The Best Book for the Beginning Value Investor
As an avid reader of dozens of value investing books, from Benjamin Graham's "Security Analysis" to Marry Buffett's "Buffettology", and Phil Town's "Rule #1", I have to say that I wish I read "Getting Started in Value Investing" first. Each of the aforementioned texts where valuable, but Mizrahi's book does the best job describing value investing soup to nuts. Beginning investors who are serious ...

Clicker Training for Birds (Getting Started)

10 reviews
Melinda Johnson

Sunshine Books, Inc., 2003

A MUST have for any Parrot OWner
Melinda's book easily explains the theory behind clicker training and the how to in easy steps. Her book also covers how to use it when dealing with specific problems such as having a parrot stay on his cage. Our past history of training and dealing with animals was one of dominance and control. A realtionship built on that is one of fear and distrust. Training has come so far since then. Clicker ...

Getting Started in Entrepreneurship (Getting Started In.....)

9 reviews
Jack M. Kaplan

Wiley, 2001

Beyond the theory, this book offers practical advice.
What sets Jack's book apart from other entrepreneurship manuals is the depth of practical advice firmly grounded in experience. It is rare to get such access to a serial entrepreneur's accumulated wisdom. Jack's advice has been equally valuable in the classroom -- he knows what he is talking about. I would recommend this book highly to anyone with an idea that wants to become a business.

Margaret Wise Brown

Topeka Bindery, 1999

Great first reader
This book is a great first book. In fact, it is the first book my son read. *sniff* I'm so proud. :-) The sentences are short and the pictures hint at what the words may be. I would recommend this to all parents who are helping their children learn to read.

Best book on Skype add-ons and tweaks to get to to work the way you want
Skype is a simple to implement Voice Over IP (VOIP) solution for the average computer user.

Getting Started in Sailboat Racing

10 reviews
Adam Cort, Richard Stearns

International Marine/Ragged Mountain Press, 2004

Best of 7 books I have read
I have raced my 36 ft sloop lightly for the last 5 years and wanted a book to help me improve my finish (2nd every time but only 5 in class). I have now read 7 books on the subject. Most frustrated me as they only talk about racing upwind and downwind. My class races up, down, and reaching. To make matters worse, my class is no spinnaker. So, typically the upwind talk is how to tune a boat ...

Getting Started with Seed Beads (Getting Started series)

10 reviews
Dustin Wedekind

Interweave Press, 2007

Absolute best for beginners!
This book is specifically geared for beginners and uses no-nonsense language to explain how to do things in such a manner that it actually WORKS. Great care taken with the instructions and wonderful pictures/diagrams help people (like me) who have never even picked up a tube of beads and a beading needle before, and the projects are interesting enough to keep me going as I learn. I would ...

Running: Getting Started

Jeff Galloway

Meyer & Meyer Fachverlag und Buchhandel GmbH, 2005

I hate running
I thought that running was the most boring sport on the planet. I was more of a sprinter short term running sport person. For some reason I picked up this book and became enthralled by it. It made me understand the mechnaics of running and why Mr. Galloway loves it. To the point now where I run every other day, I look in the book to determine what I need to do before race day, what to eat etc. In ...

Henry K. Hebeler

Wiley, 2007

Great Overview Book
Hebeler's writing style is easy to read. I have read over 200 books on investing/financial planning, and I would put this book into the top 10....with regards to general financial planning information. Hebeler covers all the basics including saving, investing in index funds, and Social Security. I particularly liked his list of Lessons Learned: 1. Look hard for low costs and taxes. ...

Lori Hanson

Shewolf Press, 2008

We all can benefit from this book
When I read Lori's book, I knew it would be very helpful to people who are suffering with bulimia and eating disorders. I was delighted to discover how helpful it also is to those of us who think we have a good life and haven't considered what we can do to make it better. Lori Hanson shows us the power in being courageous, sticking to our goals, fighting the good fight and never giving up. Brave ...

Forrest Mims

Radio Shack Corp, 1991

I love it!
I bought this book when I was a teenager, and it helped spark my excitement about electronics. I went on to get a degree in Electrical Engineering. How's that for a recommendation! This book makes learning the subject fun. Forrest explains things using pictures and intuitive explanations that is worlds apart from the formal (boring) way most textbooks use.
