Great Reference Book
This is a great book for those who want to carry a concise reference on fishing. The book is easy to read and locating information is no problem.
I try to not leave home without a copy!

"Golden Books" continue to enlighten, thrill & educate.
"Golden Books" were great for my children and grandchildren, and now their "Fishing", "A Guide To Fresh and Salt-water", book helps me with salt-water fish identification and tackle preparation. I have recently relocated to the S.C. coast and do a lot of salt-water fishing. With all of the rules and regulations relative to fish size and limits, "Fishing" comes in handy in identifying the fish caught so as not to run afoul of the "man" by having the wrong fish in the creel.

Great!
A powerful, pocket-sized introduction to the wide world of fishing. Excellent, extensive illustrations. I loved this book when I was a kid, and it still holds up well. I recommend it for anyone, child or adult, who is new to the angling arts.


Coward's Guide to Body Piercing
Published in Paperback by Boston America Corporation (01 September, 1996)
Authors: Herbert I. Kavet and Martin Riskin
Amazon base price: $5.95

Informative and entertaining
Very humorous book. This book pulls fun at pierced people butin an unoffensive way. Much in the way we would make fun ofourselves. As far as I can tell, the names of the piercings are accurate and humor is a good way to remember them, but the information on what happens when you get pierced is exaggerated for effect.

Great for Family Walks!
This is a great little book to take along on family outings. It's not comprehensive, but it was not meant to be; it does identify the most common plants that one is likely to run across and be curious about. The illustrations make the plants readily identifiable, along with regional distributions and common names. Small, easy to carry along, inexpensive enough take some rough handling by children. This small book could be the impetus for younger members of the family to find a new interest, but is also thorough enough to make walks in the woods enjoyable for the adults. I found it to be well worth the price.

A Great Help
This book of Luthers prayers brought great comfort to me during some difficult times in my life. Luthers personal insight into the sins, trials and tribulations of the every Christian is shown here in these very inspiring prayers. I just wish it was still available in the small red hardcover.

An excellent guide to Lawrence's short fiction.
This guide is designed for those who would be knowledgeable readers of major short stories by D.H.

A thorough examination of what has been written about these short stories, each chapter deals with a different short story and consists of five distinct sections: (1)the complete publication history, including all revisions and variants; (2)an inclusive examination of recognized and hitherto unrecognized sources, as well as the influences at work on Lawrence in the creation ot the story; (3)the story's relationship to Lawrence's other writings; (4)acknowledgement and summary of all extant critical studies; and (5)a bibliography of works cited.

Humorous Look at Modern Issues for Today's Engaged Couples!
I recently got engaged and was a little stressed out on what to do! I of course have never done this before and was a little overwhelmed. I saw this at a local novelty store and started giggling in the isle as I flipped through it. As my luck would have it I didn't have any $$ on me. I went back to the store with cash in hand and the book was missing! Of course I figured it would be because it was the last book and it was very funny book. I work for Amazon.com and in searching an item for a customer a luckly ran into this book again! I was so excited and I almost had forgotten how funny this book was until it arrived. Now I show it to everyone who wants to see what I'm laughing at. This book takes a fresh look at problems and issues that modern engaged couples deal with an adds a hilarious spin (complete with goofy cartoon) to it. Anyone who just got engaged and feels as overwhelmed about the wedding, meeting the future in-laws, your fiance's crazy relatives, learning to share your stuff, and dealing with each others' idiosyncrasies should get this book! A total comic relief!

I loved this book you do not want to be in a closed space while reading it you may have trouble breathing. Make sure to keep out of reach of Young Children. I would read this book over any other book in the world.

A terrific view of the 1939 fair with lots of great photos.
The book has fantastic photographs, both color and black and white, of the most interesting American worlds fair. The chapters are divided by sections of the fair, such as foriegn participation, transportation, communications. Some of the chapters are reproductions from contemporary sources, including the New York Times. My favorite chapter is the one showing memorabilia- a real treasure for the worlds fair collectors! The photographs are wonderful, showing interiors and exteriors, day and night shots, candids and official photos, color and black/white. The photographs are worth the price of the book, but it is well written, informative and interesting.For anyone interested in the 1939 New York Worlds Fair, this is the best!
