We are an auction company in Southwestern Nebraska and have just written up an auction that has a 30 volume of Wilkie Collins Classics - all in excellent -like new condition. What is the value and is there anyone interested in purchasing?

Beautifully illustrated book about three young owls. You may be surprised that the wisest answer is not always the one that makes someone feel good.

This is a great book and delivers on the promise! It truly has thousands of job opportunities and leads listed, and by the time you have read through it, you will know where to look for a great travel job, wherever you are. Ms. Collins knows the travel industry well, and shares her knowledge with us. So if you are just starting out in this field, you will get a good thorough look at how things work there from this book! I recommend it!

Found this book to be well worth the cost and a must to add to your library on Workplace Violence. A lot of quick fix books out there but this one provides an excellent look at the problem putting it in perspective and provides valuable advice in prevention, planning, and the aftermath of such incidents. Good emperical resource.

This is a great book for young kids. There are plenty activities and ideas for the classroom. I would recommend it to any teachers looking for new hands on activities for their kindergarten or early elementry classes.

WOW!! This unit plan covers all the bases. I am so impressed with this CD unit that I plan to buy one for all the novels I teach! If you teach A Wrinkle in Time, you must purchase this unit plan today!

Marguerite Henry loved horses, and she wrote a number of the most memorable horse stories every written. This book tells about her life, from birth in Milwaukee to her death in 1997 in California. What I liked was learning how she wrote MISTY, KING OF THE WIND and all the other books about horses. There are lots of good tips for writers in this book too. If you want to know about a great author, fun horses and how to write better, read this book.

If you are a teacher or parent of children from age 7 up (or an adult!), and love to learn through hands-on projects...this book is an absolute MUST. I have been recommending it to my teachers (and using it myself) since the ink was first dry---many years ago. I have not found a book even to compare with this one in content, approach, or style. It not only gives the HISTORY of writing, there are a zillion hands-on projects! You want to make your own paper? Write your own book? MAKE your own book? Learn where calligraphy originated...and how to do it? It goes on and on and on. It's easy and fun, and uses around-the-house items, nothing expensive. The drawings are beautiful, the layout complements the text and is easy to read and follow, the information is well researched and presented. I just LOVE this book. My profession? A mother many times over, and a handwriting expert...

This book is the best reference on complete image for both personal and professional appearance that I have ever used. I have been referring to it since 1994. It covers both men's and women's best styles and colors and how to coordinate them.
