Not really partial to Versus Books strategy guides, more of a Prima's person, but I was really surprised.
If you want to find all the Orbus to include Blue, Green, Yellow, and maximize the Reds.
Easy to follow walk thru, helpful screen shots, all rankings Explaind and enimies detailed.

To start off, I like the guides done by VERSUS BOOKS and I really like Casey Loe, but this guide had some problems. This is by no means a perfect guide! The only thing that makes this guide really good is its level of detail, basic training section, and complete coverage of Dante Must Die! mode.

To start off, the basic training section tells you how to work with this game and really does explain much about how to use Dante and his moves. They tell you how much Alastar and Ifrit moves cost. They even threw in a joke or two (but they weren't funny).

The walkthrough is where this guide starts to fall off though! Now I admit the walkthrough was very good, but its lay-out was a little awkward. The maps were nearly unusable. They didn't tell you where items were. They also had numbers on the map but then you had to scan the text below to know exactly what they were talking about to figure anything out. I thought the walkthrough was gonna be like this. A number displayed on the map right, and then they would tell you what to do in the text under that number, easy right? Well it felt like reading a different guide when I found that the walkthrough was a little off on some details. Also, they didn't have maps for all the areas, and they mostly seemed content with Joking around in this guide. While it DOES get you through the game there were problems along the way.

The secrets section explained all the secrets to the game. But when it told me about the hard mode, it neglected to mention that it cost more red orbs to buy items such as a Vital Star. It did help you find all the blue orb fragments but you needed to look in the section dedicated to helping you find all the blue orb fragments where as the walkthrough left you confused. The guide seem to have more screenshots than it does of words of wisdom.

However, the guide really helped me with the Dante Must Die! mode and you can use that section to find out the differences in the Hard Mode too.

Overall, this was a fairly good guide but its a twist of turn for VERSUS BOOKS as this guide was not as good as their other guides in the past. However, if you're content on getting through the game and not concerned much about the blue orb fragments then pick this up.

I usually like to go out and buy a guide for a game. What a shame that for Super Mario Sunshine there are Four! I really couldn't decide, but this one saying "Perfect Guide" is something to catch your eye. Its gotta be good right? Well, yes and no.

This guide is nothing but Game Basics and Walkthrough! The game basics is pretty good but the other three guides were way better than this.

To start off, the guide fills the sould purpose and thats to get you through the game. They locate every blue coin, help you get every shine, and even call out new enemies. The maps are good but they just look like one giant screen shot. The maps lack detail that the other guides had. The walkthrough also wasn't as organized as the other three, and the walkthrough gets confusing at times. This is because in places where they really needed screenshots they didn't have them.

Its also sad that they thought by just giving you a map appendix in the back of the book, they think you'll follow that instead. I don't want to keep flipping back and forth. The guide is unclear most of the time. They didn't cover the game that in-depth, and didn't really "guide" you through anything.

Screenshots may be clear but at most points where they need screens they don't have any. The maps aren't detailed either. They're just one big screenshot. Yes, they are nice eye candy, no, they really won't help that much. The map appendix points some things out. M

y advice is to get the Official Guide from Nintendo Power. Its much better then this one and is more organized, maybe the others ones are better too. The guide doesn't have any real strategy.

OVERALL
The good
+Crystal clear screens
+Good game basics
+There's a walkthrough
+There are maps

The Bad
-Some maps are just screens
-Not enough screenshots
-A little thin (if they didn't have a map appendix it would barely be 110 pages)
-Walkthrough is disorganized

The Super Mario Sunshine Perfect Guide...
The walkthroughs are usually good, but some of them are unclear.
The maps make things a lot easier.
The screenshots, pictures and maps are of really awesome quality. The only thing I would say that was bad is that there aren't enough pictures. I'm more than halfway through the game and I couldn't have done it without this Book.

This book contains a wealth of practical suggestions for ways that a man can show appreciation to his wife. By using many of these ideas, I have progressed from being romantically-challenged to someone who looks for creative new ways to honor my wife. The ideas in the book range from simple ones which require little or no forethought to elaborate ones which require extensive preplanning. Readers who appreciate Michael Webb's "The Romantic's Guide" will enjoy the suggestions in this small volume.

This is the story of of one man's boat trip down the Neuse River from it's beginnings near Raleigh, North Carolina eastward to its mouth in Pamlico Sound.

I bought this book expecting to see some nice b/w pictures. I saw them. Several are stunning in their beauty, the rest are 'only' excellent. All are printed on high quality coated paper that shows of the deep blacks and vivid whites to good advantage,

I did not expect to be enthralled by the text, but I was. It's evocative, verging on lyrical. In my mind's eye, I travelled with the author, seeing the sights through the eyes of a gifted artist, paddling silently down the river, listening for the sound of wildlife awed by the 'Cliffs of the Neuse", soaking up the wonders of a glorious journey.

Get this book for yourself, enjoy it, then display it on the coffee table!

The outlook wasn't brilliant for the Casey fans that day,

For their favorite ballad's history was fading fast away.

So when "Casey's Wife" was hard to find, and other poems were worse,

A pallor wreathed the features of the patrons of the verse.

A staggering few gave up the search, leaving there the rest,

With hope that springs eternal, within the human breast.

For they thought if only Gardner would take a careful look,

They'd put their hard-earned money down, if Gardner wrote a book.

But collecting all the parodies was too much work to do;

Mad Magazine had written one; and Grantland Rice wrote two.

And so the stricken multitude might never get to know 'em,

For there seemed but little chance of learning all about the poem.

But Dover publications has a Casey book to read,

With every bit of Casey lore that you will ever need.

To find these old forgotten poems, you need just take a look,

For Gardner, Martin Gardner, has compiled them in a book.

There is fun in Gardner's comments; there is wit from this old sage;

There are reams of careful research, and notes on every page.

So if you click the button, and wait a day or two,

There'll be Casey on your bookshelf, with all the others, too.

...

Oh, somewhere in these fabled lands, the sun is all too dim,

A band is silent somewhere, and somewhere hopes are slim,

And baseball lore is fading, and no one cares a bit,

But there is great joy in Mudville - Martin Gardner's scored a hit!

The political history of Roman Britain is not well-documented, and among its more shadowy reaches is the ten-year period (286-296 A.D.) during which the island formed an effectively independent realm under the "emperors" Carausius and Allectus. The literary evidence for these figures is windy and exiguous, but they left behind large numbers of coins of many different types. P. J. Casey, an archeologist and numismatist, believing that coinage, properly interpreted, can make significant contributions to the historical record, has taken up the challenge of reconstructing the skeleton, if not the torso, of the Carausian regime.

The greatest part of the book is not a true narrative (which would take up only a few pages) but rather an analysis of raw data from speeches, chronicles, coins and excavations. The presentation is admirably lucid, but readers who are easily bored by tables of the distribution of mint marks may lose the thread.

Casey's efforts produce a convincing outline, tracing events from the rebellion of Carausius (a naval commander, assigned to chase pirates on the Gallic coast, who was accused of snatching their booty for his own purse) through his establishment of control over Britain, his loss and recapture of possessions on the continent, his overthrow by his treasurer Allectus and the latter's defeat by the Caesar Constantius (father of Constantine the Great) or, to be precise, by one of the latter's subordinates, who of course received no official credit. Unfortunately, the outline cannot be fleshed out with much detail. Even major incidents, such as the failure of the Roman authorities' first attempt at reconquest, are known only by inference. Through a dim haze we glimpse the clash of armies and fleets in what must have been "interesting times", but we can barely see who is fighting and cannot at all say why.

Appended to the main body of the work are excurses on three more or less related topics: Roman naval warfare (about which not much can be said), the mysterious "Carausius" coinage that appeared in the 350's (which some historians, though not Casey, attribute to an otherwise unknown "Carausius II") and - the most entertaining portion of the book - the legends that grew up around Carausius' name in the Middle Ages. Perpetuated and elaborated well into the 1700's, this pseudo-history transformed the Roman rebel into an Irishman, a Welshman, a Dutchman, a peacemaker between Picts and Scots, a savage invader of Scotland, the ancestor of a noble Venetian family and a founding father of the English navy.

Obscure though its subject may be, this is a well-crafted work, worth the attention of any serious afficionado of Roman imperial history.

It's give me a whole new concept about life.It's so wide and deep though at the first time I thought this book kinda weird but I like how Brogan wrote Casey's character. I think you should read this book for add your knowledge.

this book is a wonderful look at childhood and the past but I would not recomed it for young children do to it's talk about puberty

I started reading this book not expecting much, but then the story just grabbed me. The plot was well constructed and simple, and the characters were true to life. Jill, the main character, is more of an antihero, and the way she makes life deliberately hard for herself and others is sometimes painful to read. Frances Kerns does an excellent job in developing the characters around Jill. All these people are real and human, from the alcoholic and abusive Riley who gains my sympathy, to the sweet hearted Joan, who struggles with jealousy. The ending is tragic on the basic level, yet it was expected from the outset. The beautiful capping of Joan and Ross's love story leaves the reader with a sense of contentment with the world and with love
