I bought and used this book on a recent trip to London, and I can recommend it to people who love to shop and who will spending more than just a few days in London. The book covers the entire spectrum of shopping, from street markets to high-end designers. Much of the book is just Suzy's opinion, but I guess any book of this nature would have to be, in large part, the opinion of the author. But try to get past her likes and dislikes and read the facts presented. I was especially happy with the insights presented on British drugstores and the great products they carry. Without this book, I would have missed some of the best stuff I found in London, the house lines of the drugstores! On the negative side, I felt that her hotel recommendations were a little unrealistic for the average traveler. I also didn't quite understand her advice for using the public transportation system. Still, a very useful little book.

I think Suzy is divine. She is the first person to take such an awesome city and try to condense it for the average person. I have traveled here several times and took her advice. The Ritz room for the single traveler was divine and Tea at the Ritz is a must for the royal watcher & don't forget to look up at the gorgeous surroundings which are so famous. Hop the buses and the tube and scoot everywhere - it is a breeze. My daughter was a student there and introduced me to this very inexpensive way to see such a large city. Enjoy!! I buy all of her books and just returned from Asia-a shopper's paradise.

That's a great book recommended for everyone who want to use the best stratagic in their business. This book can make a best reference. I can explore the CEO how to managing and leading the coporate.

This is one in a series of several dozen volumes which comprise the "Harvard Business Review Paperback Series." Each offers direct, convenient, and inexpensive access to the best thinking on the given subject in articles originally published by the Harvard Business School Review. I strongly recommend all of the volumes in the series. The individual titles are listed at this Web site: www.hbsp.harvard.edu. The authors of various articles are among the world's most highly regarding experts on the given subject. Each volume has been carefully edited. Supplementary commentaries are also provided in most of the volumes, as is an "About the Contributors" section which usually includes suggestions of other sources which some readers may wish to explore.

In this volume, there are eight in-depth interviews of current or former CEOs: Jacques Nasser (Ford Motor Company) on "Driving Change"; Roger Sant and Dennis Bakke (AES) on "Organizing for Empowerment"; John Browne (British Petroleum) on "Unleashing the Power of Learning"; Michael Dell (Dell Computer) on "The Power of Virtual Integration"; Sir Colin Marshall (British Airways) on "Competing on Customer Service"; John Sawhill (the Nature Conservatory) on "Surviving Success"; Krister Ahlstrom (The Ahlstrom Corporation) on "Governing the Family-Owned Enterprise": and Michael Eisner (The Walt Disney Company) on "Common Sense and Conflict."

No brief commentary such as this can do full justice to the rigor and substance of the interviews provided. It remains for each reader to examine the list to identify those subjects which are of greatest interest to her or him. My own opinion is that all of the interviews are first-rate. For me, one of this volume's greatest benefits is derived from following the thought processes of each interviewee. Although no doubt edited to some extent, the responses never seem "canned." Having observed most of these executives in person or being interviewed on television, I can attest to the natural flow of the conversations. This is how the subjects think. This is how they express themselves. It should be noted that the interviews are conducted by Suzy Wetlaufer, Steven E. Prokesch, Alice Howard or Joan Magretta. (The interview of Sawhill was co-conducted by Howard and Magretta.) Even those who already subscribe to the Harvard Business Review will greatly appreciate this series because each volume gathers together separate but related articles (previously published in the HBR) on the same general subject. The cost of each volume in the series is relatively modest; the value provided is substantial.

This book is about a boy named Marvin who forgot his coat in the school but when he goes back to school he sees his teacher Mrs. Bird. He thinks that she is talking about him but she is actually talking about another boy named Joe Marvin. Marvin becomes angry and decides to hate her.

She said she wants Joe Marvin to leave because his bad temper is making the team loose.

I like this book because it's talking about bad feeling and how to solve them.

Its about this kid who thinks the teacher hates him. One day on the feild trip people say marvin got suspended. What Marvin are they talking about?

If you liked "Bridget Jones'Diary" - you'll enjoy this tale of the painfully realistic Olivia's journey through abandonment, disbelief, insecurity and incredulity at the way life's changes can stir and shake you up. The characters are instantly likeable - from the crowd of rogue builders who protectively watch over Olivia's emotianal dirty Laundry as it is paraded through the neighbourhood, to Olivia's smart and sassy daughter and friends who watch Olivia's transformation from complacent housewife to jibbering wreck to sought-after soulmate. A great read, contains laugh aloud situations and leaves you wanting more

Very funny. Some unrealistic storylines, but over all it was an extremely good read. Couldn't put it down until I finished it.

Orp is a young boy with a lot of determination. His Determination leads him to try and win a trip to Disneyland. The only catch? It's a cooking contest. Suzy Kline's character's ingenuity leads him to experiment, successfully, using chop suey to make burgers. The ending may not be the usual fairy tale ending, but it has a delightful twist.

Oh my goodness!This is the best book I have ever read.Orp is the funniest guy.I love this book because it was inspireing to see a child like me do something wonderful.Read the book to find out what I mean!!=)

"Respectfully Quoted" is a valuable resource for anyone who need to find that witty or poignant quotation for a speech or writing.

Unlike some quotation books, this one is arranged according to topic, with the authors dispersed throughout the topics.

The location of just the right quote is facilitated by a List of Subjects, and Indices by Author and Keyword and Subject.

I have found this book to be helpful in the preparation of speeches and articles and am sure that many others will also.

If you are a speechwriter, a professor or a politician, then this is a mandatory tool of work. Now that quotations books are a common merchandise, it is difficult to sift through all what is available in order to single out what is useful.
This book contains the cumulated result of 50 years of work, in the Congressional Reading Room Quotation File. Staff at the Congressional Reading Room have been handling requests by the Congressmen and their staffs to verify quotations to be used in public debate. As the editor points out in the Introduction, as many as 1500 queries a day are being received by the Congressional Research Service.
So this is a collective effort of the highest quality regarding authenticity and the broadness of the field of the citations provided. And it is the genesis of this book what makes it stand apart from other individual and fragmentary efforts. I recommend this book very much also because the quotations are well organized by subject, by keyword and by author, and that guarantees that busy people will not lose unnecessary time searching for the quote that can make the difference....

This is a very funny book The author has a very unique style of writing. It is about a boy named Harry, who behaves poorly it is funny. Harry has to be good for one school day or get one ant sticker the stickers late you go on trips on not or he does not get to go on the field trip to the swamp. The characters are Song Lee, Harry, and Sidney. Harry gets in lots of trouble because he pretends to smokes and fuels around . But Harry has friends so if he gets in trouble, he has them to back him up. I would recommend this book to kids between the ages of 8-10 years old. It is a very funny book.

I really enjoyed this book about the cery interesting character, Song Lee. This comedic book will put a smile on any child's face! It will add nicely to any Suzy Kline book collection!

This is a fairly decent book on M*A*S*H, quite good actually, although far from what I would call "excellent". It provides the fan with a lot of information on the characters, the actors, producers, directors, etc. The episode synopses are interesting and useful to a M*AS*S*H-a-holic. The writer and director lists in the back were also interesting and a good source of information. The commentaries by those involved in the show is an excellent feature. There is one thing, however, that irritated me about this book. The moniker "'Complete' Book of M*A*S*H" is a misnomer. It, as is noted in the introduction, does not include any information concerning the 2 or 3 subplots within each episode. I also found the chapter discussing the final episode/movie a bit "lacking". This was essentially five episodes in one, and yet the book left out quite of bit of information, and lost a lot of the essence of this "episode". This section could have been much more complete. By leaving this information out, it "cheated" us of some vital memories, tears, and laughter. Some of the most funny, sad and cleaver moments appeared in these "subplots" A lot a character development took place in the subplots. In this respect, I found the book very disappointing. Similar books dealing with other shows were more complete, and did not leave out anything; all subplots, etc. were included, and yet this did not make the book confusing nor cumbersome, but rather enhanced the delightlfulness of the book. It's a pity the author did not see fit to do so with this book. If she had, this book would be a true gem, and quite possibly the best of the bread. Still, if you're a M*A*S*H fan, this book is a must have.

If you got a question, or even an answer, if you want to check the facts, get this book! It covers all episodes of M*A*S*H.The book gives a couple paragraph of each episode in superb detail (this also includes the movie and final episode). Not only does it explains the episodes but also has interviews of most of the cast.It even includes vital information of the history of M*A*S*H. No M*A*S*H collection is complete without this book.
Warning: This book is very adictive.

This book is unbelievable. It is jammed with pictures both color and black & white. It has synopsis of every episode including a section that lists every single Emmey nomination and the winners for the entire eleven year run. This truley is the M*A*S*H bilbe. For a more in depth look on M*A*S*H chech out "We Will Not Be Strangers. Korean War Letters Between a M*A*S*H Surgeon and His Wife." This book is about the real life MASH. Author Suzy Kalter has written a fantastic compainion to TV's most celeb

What does it take to be a New York Best Selling Author these days? It wasn't this book was that bad. It's just that it wasn't up to par with the likes of a Jerry Bledsoe and Jack Olsen book, or many other true crime authors that I've read. It started out okay, in fact the first chapter where they discover the body is the best in the book, but it went downhill from there. Just how many times did we need to hear the account of what happened. At least a dozen or more apparently- twice when the two loosers confessed to the police, then from the police, the attorneys, and every other person connected to the case, only to hear it twice more from Stephanie and her boyfriend again at the end. Also, the book would have been better if the author would have written a more balanced book. It swayed too much toward Stephanie and her parent's perspective of the cause and effect of the events. Better luck next time, but I think I'll skip her other book and stick with Jack Olsen's books for now.

This is one of the few true crime books I've read that was written by a truly fine author. Spencer uses her time well. Her background information on the killers could not have been better written or more well researched. We know the killers well before we ever meet them.

Spencer is just as thorough in her description of the crime, and the trial, and her later interview with Stephanie Martin, one of the killers.

Do we come out of this book knowing precisely who did what to the victim, or to each other, and what exactly happened? We don't, but we don't because Spencer tells the whole truth and writes completely honestly. We feel as confused as everyone who committed the crime, or who knew those who did. Both criminals blame the other. Their stories flip and flop and betray each other and themselves. For Spencer to have written a wonderful and coherent book out of such confusionn affords her great applause and admiration.

I read this book so quickly just because Spencer draws the reader along so well. She's really an artful writer.

All that I disagree with is Spencer's ending. Not one of my nutty friends would ever believe the stories that Stephanie Martin believe of Will. And I question how a God-fearing, "nice" Christian girl could leave home and go directly into topless dancing. Her gullibility, her lack of self-esteem about her own womanhood, and her ability to involve herself, in whatever way, in a murder, make me believe, as a licensed social worker, that Stephanie was as much a sociopath and psycopath as Will.

But that isn't the point of this review, and the ending is quite short. Spencer is in fine form as a writer, and this book is one the reader simply can't put down. Not for one moment does all the detail Spencer gives become boring, because she writes it oh so well.

I highly recommend this book.

Wow! This was a priceless read. It was so vivid, so real, so human. Did you have all the answers when you finished the book? No. (Who ever does in real life?) But you sure had a lot to think about when you reached the end. I find myself looking through the telescope of this book at some people I have known and finding some chilling similarities in character and attitude. I feel that reading this book and understanding this story better prepares me for dealing with the manipulative and self-serving people I may encounter on the road of life. Great job, Ms. Spencer. Gives us more!
