Having read a few guides, our company has adopted this one as the rule. A great book with practical advice on all related matters.I would highly recomend it for proffesionals as well as novices.

I loved the book Dunk by David Lubar. It was an exciting story about a boy named Chad and what he did over his summer. It tells about how he wanted to be a Bozo at a dunk tank. When he asked about a job at the tank the owner said yes and Chad was happy. When he got there he found out that he wasn't getting to work as a Bozo but as a ball boy. This wasn't the end of his problems. His friend got very sick and the girl he liked started going out with someone else. But that isn't all. Read this book and see what happens to Chad and his friends.

A fantastic read. Visually stimulating!! Garry Adelman is a name to remember. He brings the Civil War alive. I've read ALL of his books.

Last week I read the Earth-man Story and I Thought that it was well written & interesting. This is all I have to say.

This hiking guide was the best we've seen. We were hiking with a 6 yr. old and a 70 yr. old and found the distances and difficulty rating to be VERY accurate and helpful in choosing which hikes to go on. The maps and directions to the trailheads were also VERY accurate.

I have fallen in love with Echo and the EB family. Ely's traumatic first days are unforgettable. I couldn't wait for The Next Generation to come out. I have definitely become an elephant fan.

ECHO PARK, a culturally rich oasis in the midst of spralling downtown Los Angeles, has just been immortalized in a terrific new novel by Steve Scott. Rich in color, scents, sights, and character, this first novel is a joy. Scott writes in a nonlinear fashion that at times takes the reader a little too far off track, but when he brings it all together it is clear that this is a unique view of a unique place. Narrated by a gentleman whose closest ally is his telescope (Mr Peepers), we are given a view of Echo Park with all the beautiful bridges, boats, lotus blossoms, and the hookers, hustlers, cops, and assorted oddballs that keep this hotpot bubbling to the very last page. Scott introduces myriad characters - a masturbating priest, the ladies of the Midnight Son who ply their bodies at the Suku Suku bar, the Pastime Jocks of the Armpit Lounge (a collection of bizarre older gay men), and the abused but salvaged hooker Charo who is the pivotal character bringing the explosion of colorful happenings together. At times the author allows his surreal fantasies to confuse the storyline, but his poetic imagery is so lush...and so much fun !...that this minor flaw is quickly overlooked. In the end this Fellini-type cinematic story finds meaning in each of the characters lives/roles, and with the narrator's final letters to his departed friend - Neurotica Jones - summing up a life as viewed through a balcony telescope, we are left caring very much for all the folk of Echo Park. This is a very fine first novel and I encourage everyone who is fascinated with the madness of Los Angeles, in all its mixed ethnic splendor, to jup on for a wild and satisfying ride!

What a wonderful book! Another in the series of "Middleton Elya/Chapman" eight animal capers. This cute story introduces Spanish vocabulary in a way that the readers won't even know they are learning!! The book is illustrated by renown Puerta Vallarta artist Lee Chapman. Chapman's whimsical style brings smiles to every page.

This is the perfect book for anyone who loves the Grand Canyon. Not only do you get gorgeous photos and historic shots of the 1905 El Tovar hotel, but there's more on Mary Jane Colter's Grand Canyon work and a chapter on the park. This is a perfect stocking stuffer or very reasonable little gift for someone heading to the canyon for a honeymoon or anniversary!

Just as a prism breaks up light into a band of colors - red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet - and their infinite gradations, so do Emily Dickinson's poems become, as it were, a prism which captures the white light of reality, a reality which as it flows through the prism of her poem explodes into a multiplicity of meanings.

It is the rich suggestiveness of her poems, a suggestiveness which generates an incredible range of meanings, that prevents us from ever being able to say (to continue the metaphor) that a given poem is 'about red' or 'about blue,' because her poems, as US critic Robert Weisbuch has observed, are in fact about _everything_. This is what makes her so unique, and this is why she appeals to every kind of reader (or certainly to open-minded ones) and even to children.

Emily Dickinson's poetry is one of the wonders of the world.
