I first purchased Mr. Bourie's annual book many years ago, andlook forward to each new and expanded edition of his work. He tellsyou practically everything you need to know about casino gaming, then describes the basic offerings of every casino in the country, and then provides coupons that will save you hundreds of dollars when you visit many of the casinos listed. What else could you ask for? Any casino player who doesn't purchase this book every year is missing the boat!

Like to gamble? Me too! This guide tells you where all the casinos are in the good old USA. There are maps, plus detailed city maps of Las Vegas, Tunica, Biloxi, and others. It has strategy tables for blackjack and coupons for various discounts and freebies. You'll find me at a video poker machine--see you there! Good Luck!

"By Heart" is a masterpiece. The book is a tale of Vermont life in the midsts of small town, workmans life. Being a poetry book it combines empathy, happiness, and dedication. Bob Arnold knows what he is doing when he sits down a writes. A true man to his writing.

I like sensitive poetry books. I like when a poet writes about his own personal experiences, and not some smart lines that tell nothing. This is exactly what I found with this book. It's a small books about the small things in life and I could really identify with it.

Bob Arnold provides a beautiful tour of his home waters of the last 30 years. Tales of the N. Fork of the Stilly, the Grande Ronde, Sauk and most importantly Deer Creek abound. Adding to this collection of fishing tales and indiriect adivce is the tragic tale of the destruction of a true gem of a resource, the native summer-run steelhead of Deer Creek. His account of the mismanagement of logging practices in the Deer Creek drainage, and his role in the ongoing recovery, is a stern warning about the fraility of our most valuable resources. Excellent read.

Bob Dylan seems to be one of those artists who are like a mirror. You see what reflection you wish to portray. Having read Jonathon Cotts Dylan,where Dylan is a great poet,Stephen Pickerings Dylan, where he is a wandering Hebrew prophet,I decided on this book. Well, the theology here is an odd mix of fundementalism and Hebrew-christian potpurri. Hey, you can take Dylan songs to justify union busting{union sundown],though I hardly think that is the intention. Ignoring the vast corpus of Dyans work to justify this is simply cheap.Dr. Fruchtenbaum may or may not be a good theologian. Howwever, this book is about HIM, not bob dylan. I was very,very disappointed at the questioanble theological viewpoint and the tedious pedantic postruing and lecturing. Thomas Merton near the end of his life was preparing a study of Bob Dylan. Now THAT would have been interesting and fruitful. This is not.

This book is unique, combining sound-bites from the lyrics of a legendary musician with a more detailed and systematic exposition by one of the most erudite theologians around. The brief but plentiful extracts from Bob Dylan display a consistent Christian faith, and it would be impossible to do him justice without understanding what drives him at the deepest level.

The more detailed writings of his fellow Hebrew Christian, Arnold Fruchtenbaum, serve as excellent commentaries, although they were written independently. The author has done a remarkable job in combining them in this way. Of course the systematic theologian has more words in the book, but it's unfair to deny that the book is about Dylan as well, since it's his insights that head each of the many topics studied.

It's sad that some people resent the fact that some stars have great faith. I've seen it in my country with the seething resentment of journalists in the secular Australian media when 19-year-old Aaron Baddeley received his Australian Golf Open trophy and publicly declared Jesus as saviour, and that his faith in Christ is crucial to his success.

Rich in history and doctrine, this book delineates, perhaps the "best of," both Dylan and Dr. Fruchtenbaum (both of whom I highly esteem). It could be considered a primer for Fruchtenbaum's work in understanding Hebrew Christianity. It should, as well, be considered a major work in showing how this faith pertains to many of Bob Dylan's mysterious lyrics. It will not only enlighten those who read it, but encourage them as well. Ronnie Keohane has put together a wonderful resource for understanding the Jewish basis of Christianity, how Israel and the Gentiles are co-heirs in Christ Jesus, and how Bob Dylan has poetically grafted his faith and music into one.

Alice writes in the voice of her daughter about her daughter's favorite recipes and adventures at the restaurant. Wonderful reading and DELICIOUS recipes. At first looks a little like a children's book, but great for adults!

This book is written as Fanny telling about her life with her mom, the fantastic chef Alice Waters(she wrote the book). MyDaughters & I share in our love of this book, to read it...enjoying the pictures which are wonderful to the eye. then the bits on cooking and the pleasure of food & preparing it along with flavor is shared in such a great way. Allow yourself to sit down and get lost in the spirit of this book.
