In a Nutshell
Great reference for the warehouse manager or project manger. Provides an excellent explanation of the various warehouse activities and equipment. Very useful for project management with good walk-throughs for many warehouse / distribution projects; especially racking, WMS and RF. Also is a good reference for project management in general; provides many examples of project documentation and checklists. Detailed yet information is easy to find. I hope future editions take a closer look at scalability and tecnology that integrates the WMS with the Enterprise system. Overall a great resource for any Ops department...

Good book, Good Price
This is a pretty good book for it's price. Please be advised that it is very specific and it is only on picking up chicks. After you get her number or whatever, what are you going to do? Good luck, this book doesn't tell you! I must say, I followed the advice in this book very religiously and it works like a charm. It is so easy to get numbers, but guess what? Most of the time, the girl is just being courteous or don't have the heart to tell you the truth. Only 1% of the numbers turn out to be dates. And I still have no clue on what to do during the date because I have yet to find a good book on that topic! The book doesn't cost that much, but if you want to save a few bucks, here is the secret to picking up chicks. Ready? (Drumroll)....confidence. One of the points the book makes is that the idea of girls liking jerks is partially true. The fact is, most of the nice guys are weak and not confident enough, that is why they lose out. In case you don't know, girls do like jerks because most jerks are also very attractive guys. But if you act tough and confident, you have a better chance. The other thing the book says is when girls say they want someone more mature, they really mean someone more confident. Once again, it is all about confidence. For those who do not know what this is, it is doing something based on your own free will without any validation from anyone. It is sticking to and hanging to your own judgement when the whole world seems to be against you. I've lost a really special girl because I did not understand this.

The Best Book Of Its Kind
This is by far the best book of its kind. I am very happy that I bought it. It is an excellent reference book that I often pick up and read through if I feel a little rusty at talking to girls.

The authors definitely know their stuff. With more than 40 different topics and sub-headings, the book has plenty of information. It is written in a casual, relaxed tone which makes for a fun read.

I am a little disturbed by anyone who would give it a bad review on this Amazon site. It is not an expensive book and you certainly get your $6.95 worth. It appears that some anonymous guy from Chicago keeps putting up a negative review after someone puts up a good one. He mostly likely didn't even read the book since he talks about things that aren't even in it. For example, there is no reference to picking up girls at a sporting event in the book. Did he write a competing book? Why would he keep checking the book's site to make sure that his negative review is the last one? Very strange.

Oh well, Amazon is what it is. Anyway, this book is the real deal. No disappointment for me. Happy hunting all!

Perfect Guide I Needed
This is the perfect Guide I was looking for on how to pick up girls. It is not preachy or didactic. Rather, it is straight to the point, extremely informative and very funny. Hide this book in your house because every one who comes over to visit tries to borrow it. Tell them to buy their own copy.

Wannabe!
If you turned this in as your creative writing assignment, you might get a 'B'. You'd expect better from an published author. The cover of the book looks so good... glamorous and cool, a brown haired girl smirks at you while a guy's sprawled body is reflected on her sunglasses... above the epitaph ... 'She's smart. She's fun. She wants to kill you.' Trust me, those words have nothing to do with the story inside. You expect a mystery. You expect a charming, popular and ruthless stranger who comes into Elizabeth's life and takes over, maybe even turning her old friends against her. You expect to wonder 'who is this girl?' and 'Is this really Amanda'? You expect people around 'Amanda' to start mysteriously turning up dead or have near fatal accidents. Well, that isn't in this book. It doesn't deliver. I was not only disappointed, but mad. Once she moves into Elizabeth's house, 'Amanda' doesn't do a thing that is particulary smart or charming or fun, neither does Elizabeth. There is no mystery to it. You know who did what to who right off. Elizabeth is the only one in the dark. It would have been a much better book if Nicholas Adams had lived up to the synopsis and kept what really happened to Amanda a mystery until the end instead of putting it all in the front of the book. It might work for you if you're one of those readers who flips to the back of the book and reads the ending first, but for the rest of you I recommend sticking to Stine or Pike unless you're into collecting book cover art.
