Despite the ludicrous price the publisher is charging for this book, I would recommend everyone sell some plasma and stagger out to buy it. One of the best show-biz bios I have ever read. Chatty, informative, stunningly well-researched; often funny. The author takes us not only into the life and career of a very successful (but now forgotten) star, but takes us on some fascinating side-trips as well.

A superb job--many pats on the back to Mr. Gänzl.

This Book for Mac or Windows is Outstanding. It covers just about all the commands in Lingo, And no one knows them better than the person who wrote the Lingo language. Sample movies help explain complex commands in an easy straight forward manner.

The kids are teasing a classmate about her interest in butterflies. To better educate them and her readers, Mrs. Frizzle takes the class to the bog, where they learn about camoflauge, life cycles, and more!

Ok...I'll have to come back after I get the book, which I'm purchasing shortly. However, I just watched "Simply Quilts" on HGTV (Jan 2, 1:30pm program) and this was the topic and they showed this book. Her technique was fabulous!!! Go to HGTV.com and look it up under the "Simply Quilts" program and you'll see an example of her work. It's episode QLT-821 or look in their episode list. Then come back here and buy the book (they have a link back to amazon.com). The quilts look gorgeous & impossibly difficult, but she makes them incredibly easy. Her technique is very direct & straightforward. I'm dying to start a quilt and get the book. Update: It took quite a while to get the book, but it was worth the wait. Made the Swirligig Wreath the first week I had the book: IT WORKED & LOOKED GREAT!!! And I only started quilting a couple months ago. Follow her directions when triangles overlap. Cut between...it works!

This book is a welcome introduction for readers who are comfortable with basic differential equations and vector calculus. As an applied mathematician interested in learning the fundamentals of MRI, I had grown quite frustrated with the simplified literature on one hand ("MRI for technologists", "MRI for medical people", "MRI for dummies"...) and the professional literature on the other, which is directed at people already immersed in the study of MR technology. In contrast, this book is an excellent introduction to the subject for applied mathematicians (though this may not have been the intended audience), as it makes no assumptions regarding reader's science background and thus explains thoroughly all relevant E+M, physics and signal processing. But most importantly, it does so without cutting mathematical corners. This results in a far more lucid and logical exposition than books which try to protect the reader for his/her own good.

It's a French book for a French class. If you have a class that requires this book, you're gonna havta buy it anyways, so a review from me probably won't sway your decision. It's okay.

I really enjoyed flipping through the book and seeing all the colorful illustrations and designs. It comes complete with photographs and explainations. The first half section shows you different ideas you can use and then in the second half section, it shows you step-by-step instructions. It has introduction, the basics, choosing paper, materials and supplies, and tools (a good couple pages here), etc. It shows you how to make memory books, journals, and memory boxes. I plan to use the memory box idea to store my photos and make couple of journals with my girls so they can practice their cursive and even write stories in. This book comes highly recommended from a crafty person.

If you are interested in gypsy caravans - this book is great. It shows a variety of vehicles, construction and information. Even if your interest is in the full size vehicles this shows many different types and styles.
Great info - for model makers!!

this is a very small book - the size of a cd insert! even so, i've rated it with five stars because i feel it's very worthwhile, full of lovely quotes from robert and a very detailed discography... and the picture of the manor is rather wonderful!
