DEAD-ON ACCURATE
Daniel Paisner has hit another home run. The absurdity that has entered into the sports memorabilia market is clearly exposed here. He accuarately illuminates just how hard it is for the average fan to collect that "special piece." Unfortunately, sports memorabilia collecting can no longer be just for the love of the game. The book was a great read and highly recommended!
Quick, Pleasurable Read
You'll be amazed how quickly 200 pages turn with this well-written, fast-paced dialogue of Mark McGuire's 70th baseball and the hoopla that endured for a lucky scientist in St. Louis. Even if you're not a huge baseball fan, this story is likely to keep your attention. Thanks to Barron's newspaper for the recommendation!
witty, funny and interesting stories that surround the sale
an adventure of a young scientist into the world of big money and big people with "good" guys and villans...with cameos from mcgwire, sosa and donald trump....this was a home run catch with a home run ending

Awesome DVD, beautiful book!
This book will take you back to Burning Man but it's the DVD that I want to rave about. Watch it over and over. Beautifully done. A wonderful effort. Thanks to Holly and thanks to Bam Bam!
Full-color visuals and personal memories
Based on the images of Holly Kreuter, Drama In The Desert: The Sights And Sounds Of Burning Man is a book and DVD set collecting full-color visuals and personal memories drawn from the harsh desert of Black Rock City, Nevada. Capturing the sometimes quizzical, sometimes cruel, sometimes dramatic art and documentary efforts of seventy contributors, Drama In The Desert is strongly recommended as an eclectic, unique, and vibrant experience impressing its fiery artistic message upon the reader's spirit.
So great I bought 7 copies for gifts and one for myself!
I bought your book for my son's 22nd birthday. He loved the book so much that I bought myself a copy. Last weekend I watched the DVD and was amazed at how beautiful the photography and music is. I went to Burning Man for the past two years and the experience has completely changed my life. I get inspired by the creativity of all the beautiful people that work so hard to make it the greatest art show in the world. I decided to share my experiences with my relatives this Christmas by sending them all Drama in the Desert as presents, so I ordered another six copies. Thank you for everything. You are an amazing group of artists.

For a taste of the truly unique Elric! is unsurpassed.
This RPG has proved brilliant and entertaining for both novice role-player and experienced, for both those familiar with Moorecock's work and those who are not. I'll be the first to admit that the release of 3rd edition D&D has distracted me from this ingenious work of dark fantasy but before 3rd edition came out this system was the only one out of the many I have played in my 12 years of gaming to hold my attention (there are plenty of new rules that cropped up in 3rd edition that look familiar to ones in this book). The system of incresing abilities and skills is much better than the much acclaimed 3rd edition D&D. This game is also a much more "realistic" RPG than anything that TSR or Palladium ever put out. The fact that characters do not gain levels but instead increase their various skill and ablities by practicing them is a BIG step towards working realism in RPGs. There are none of the class restrictions found in other RPGs in this game. You can do what you learn how to do. And for those of us tired of explaining why our worlds are not controlled by the blatantly more powerful elven and dwarven races, this games' human-only content is quite refreshing. There is of course the non-human race known as the Melniboneans but they are little more (functionally speaking) than an eldritch and sorcerous race of decadent humans. My only complaints are that the book is paperback and that more people don't realize it's brilliance. Combat is extremely well laid out with an unsurpassed balance of realism, utility, and entertainment. Even if you do not plan to run the campaign this book is FULL of great ideas applicable to any RPG from personal character quirk lists to a great and novel system of allegiance to the forces of law and chaos. Just beware of those brutal critical hit tables! oof! Feel free to e-mail for general correspondence concerning elric!.
Excellent
Apart from its lackluster art, this greatly original dark fantasy rpg will blow you away. The rules and the setting are easily some of the best in the business. If you play RPGs and are tired of the cliche Tolkienesque fare, this is a must buy!
Appendix
Possibly excessive exuberance aside, I still stand by my last review and am curious about the experience others have had with this game. Email me at my new address, Kaecyy@MochaMail.com, if you like. Blood and souls, baby!

Outstanding, research-based information.
This book provides a VP of sales or sales manager with the behind the scenes research that went into Professional Selling Skills and other landmark training by Learning International. If anyone has a questions as to why this training vs. others - this answers the question! By the way, I would highly recommend their training also. The best consultative sales training on the market.
A great summary of updated sales expectations
This is a very clearly written book that puts definition to what you are likely already seeing as your new role as a sales person in the 90's. I found it very applicable for my sales position in aerospace sales. It gives an outline of how to assess your customers and meet their expectations. It further spells out what skills you need as a sales person today and what customers expect from you. It stresses the changing role to business consulant from order taker. Good reading
cool by association
Kevin J. Corcoran is my uncle, so I thought his book was down right cool. Maybe I think that all those related to me have that benefit. But seriously, this book presents some very significant business information with some flair. Check it out! I should be in sales...

I really, really loved it
Dear Mr. Calhoun, I read your two books. One of theme is " Fair Play ". I really loved it because I like dinosours and I want to be a dinosour searcher like Fenton.I read your book in Turkish. This summer I want to read your other books in English. The " Fair Play " was my term homework. Next week I'll talk abaut it in my class.By the way I couldn't find any information abaut you ( as the outher of the book ). If you give me information abaut yourself it will help my homework and my friends will learn more abaut you and this will make me happy.Sincerelly, Mehmet
I loved it!
Dear Mr. Calhoun, I am a sixth grade student who has read every one of your Dinosaur Dectective books and am waiting every day for number eight and nine. I think you should keep the books going until you solve ALL the mysteries - since I want to be a dinosaur detective myself when I grow-up I know this will take a long, long time. This summer I am going on a week long dinosaur digging camping trip. I can't wait to live what I read about in your books. If you have time, could you please write back to me? I would really like to show a letter from you to my friends at school. I'm a slow reader, slowest in my class, but my teacher and parents are very nice and they know I will always read anything about dinosaurs. Thasnk you sOOO much for writing about a boy who is just like me. Sincerely, Stephen Hoffner-McCall 311 Summit Rd. Media, PA 19063 610-565-7196

Wauck's translation of the Good News is superb, demonstrating that clarity, accuracy, and elegance need not be inconsistent.

This book was excellent
this was one of his best books. when Chas Mcgill and his friends find a German Machine gun along with 200 rounds of live bullets. they wanted their chance of revenge on the Germans,after all it was the second world war. They build a tripod for it and they capture a german pilot but grow very fond of him and let him go back to germany. he doesn't want to. if I say any more I'll spoil it for you. All i need to say is that it is my favourite book
Magic !
I read this book a long time ago, as part of my schooling. Even at that age, I did not want to put this book down. This is a good one to pass on to young'uns, and alot of adults too. A must for the bookshelf me thinks.
Evocative Novel of Wartime Britain, for Children and Adults
I first read Westall's book as a youngster twenty years ago, and again as an adult just recently. I must say the book has withstood the test of time, and my own growing up -- I'm not sure if I enjoyed it more as a boy or as an adult! I recommend this book most highly, as well as Westall's [apparently out-of-print] "The Devil on the Road".

Best study Bible!
I love this Bible - I make sure this is the Bible our church gets for our graduation gifts for the seniors every year - it's also the Bible I bought my wife. The print is clear, and it's a durable Bible with lots of accurate notes.
A wealth of info, a great buy!
This study Bible is one of the best versions out there. It is very easy to follow and understand. It has outlines and footnotes that allow you to apply each verse to everyday life.
BEST STUDY BIBLE AVAILABLE
I am a Seminary student and have gone through many study bibles. However, this work by W.A. Criswell is by far the best in the business.

Who knows? NASA!
It really looks like a civilization existed on Mars, but the only way to know for sure is to go there. Is NASA hidding the truth? If you found out NASA hid the truth all this time would you be supprised.
Strong scientific case for artificiality
Carlotto brings state of the art image analysis techniques to bear on the enigmatic objects of Mars' Cydonia region. He shows that there is a high degree of probability for artificiality, something that NASA and Michael Malin vigorously deny - to this day. This book is a must-read for any serious student of the artificiality hypothesis.
The standard reference for extraterrestrial archaeologists
Mark Carlotto's book is a must-buy. Every page is a discovery in itself; the author makes his case, and makes it extremely well: Mars is probably home to non-natural features well within our technological ability to investigate (preferably through manned exploration).
"The Martian Enigmas" is a satisfying piece of popular science that effectively sounds the death toll for "skeptics" who insist it's all our imaginations.
