This book must have been written a long time ago, becuase it only has Pokemon #1-151 (Mew is spelled Myu) and only has information on the Red/Blue/Yellow versions. There are three versions that don't have guides, and they are the gold/silver/crystal.

Be warned that this guide isn't accurate as it should be. For example, on one page it states that you have to win the Rainbow Badge to get the Bulbasaur from the Pokemon Collector in Pokemon Yellow. You only need the Cascade Badge which you get in Cerulean City.

Another problem is the sequential order they use for the walk through which makes following it difficult and confusing. It would be better to have a step by step walk through rather than one that was so confusing as to mislead the readers.

Besides these problems plus the map of one of the areas in the game being somewhat hard to read, the book is a fair read but my suggestion is that the buyer should be ware.

I bought this book for my daughter for Christmas. We used it constantly when she played Pokemon Snap. Now we use it when she plays with Gameboy Blue/Red/Yellow. I like the extensive use of pictures. I also like the alphabetical listing of the Pokemon instead of the 1-151 number system. Highly recommended!

As strategy guides go, this one definitely has it all. It gives complete walkthroughs of every level, every object, and every boss battle. This book even includes some Yoshi history and other silly tricks. Who could ask for more? Apparently you've gotten too much. Yoshi's Story is an already extremely easy game. Slapping a strategy guide to it is pointless. Games this easy don't need strategy guides! Yes, it's nice to know where every secret is hidden, but isn't that why we explore video games? Personally, I feel strategy guides demean from the purpose of owning a video game in the first place. And with a simple game like Yoshi's Story, it should be downright embarrassing to own one. This particular book has an awesome setup, but it was made for the wrong game. Keep looking.

collect new yoshi's: to collect new yoshi's you need to find a black egg or an wihte egg.

to make shy guys turn into a fruit first you need the [heartfruit]then do a ground pound on the floor

(melon race) hit a box that has a ?mark go thru the start line to the finish.

I read this book and it helped me to play the game. I like to play games because they are fun to play. I have not played clock tower 2 yet but I think that I will like it just as much as Tomba because Tomaba was a fun game, almost as fun as that game I made. That game I made was really fun because I read the clock tower 2 book and that helped me make my game. If your looking to make your own game I would strongly recomend you buy this book! Sometimes when I am reading this book I get really scared and I put the book down and start to cry. I dont like to cry because then my dad makes fun of me and I dont like it when he makes fun of me because it is not fun. And that is my review of Tomba aka the greatest game ever made THE END

Even though I am a jaded gamer, I was rather impressed with this particular book despite its small size. The book looked like a joke when I found it on the store shelf, it is small and thin compared to your usual videogame cheat books from Prima and the usual suspects. But never judge a book by its cover... and its size.

The book is printed in full-color on glossy pages. Besides the architect's map of the rooms, you also get the gamer's view of each room - they had to combine several screen shots because the game camera never shows you the whole room, some hard work was definitely done here. All doorways or interactive objects are clearly designated with numbers and a full chart explains in detail what can be done or where the door leads to. These visual aids really help, especially if you've been frustrated with the text-based FAQs/walkthrus floating around the Internet.

For those impatient to read through the details, you can jump ahead towards the end of the book for a cut-to-the-chase walkthru. The walkthru tells you exactly what to do without skipping any steps or throwing in red herrings that you don't need. I managed to finish the First Chapter in about 30 minutes using the walkthru. The writing was concise, clear, and easy to understand.

The walkthru gives you the best of the multiple possible endings, and the book also tells you what conditions NOT to meet in order to get the other "bad" endings. Unlike game books for the major releases (such as the Resident Evil games) with the pressure of deadlines, this book is, as far as I can tell, free of errors or clues based on the Japanese original that have become unreliable due to American version changes.

It is clear that this book was being created by people who knows what they are doing and love their job, too. In the intro pages of the book, they tell you the game's origins on the Super Famicom and how one of the PlayStation releases was never ported for the U.S. market. You even get a bonus walkthru for the first Clock Tower game, now that's what I call getting more bang for your buck!

The backcover of the book has a bio for the authors, here's an interesting bit that might help you decide to buy this book if you have either the first or second game: "Mark wants to buy a truck, so please help him by purchasing this book." :)

First published in 1909, this version of these magical tales suffers a bit from the moralism of the times. For example, in place of the original theme that fatalism, in which all things are the will of Allah, Wiggins has put stern lessons about the perils of laziness and lack of constant virtue. Of course the erotic elements are missing, which may be quite appropriate for an edition intended for children.

Otherwise, I would have to say that almost all the magic, wonder, and adventure that are associated with the 1,001 Nights are to be found herein. The Maxfield Parish paintings are wonderful.

One of the most dissapointing elements is the decision to not include the "frame story" about Sheherizade telling these tales over the fabled 1,001 nights. Also much reduced is the constant use of tales-within-tales, a hallmark of the Arabian Nights collection. Both these changes tend to simplify the book, perhaps in a way that will make it more accessible and less confusing to young readers. But, then, this is hardly the book for young readers who do not like a challenge, especially since writing relies upon a lot of outdated words and word usage.

This instant-expert in Hawaiiana is evidently one of those people who move to Hawaii and think "it's much too good for the Hawaiians so I'll sell as much of it as I can". The photography is good but so many of the descriptions are soooooo wrong that I looked through it in slack-jawed amazement. Don't fall for this phoney-baloney aloha - the real Hawaii is not for sale, no matter how many books you write badly about it.

Sixty dollars spent for a new cover, some corrections in the index and a general increase in values is about all that is new in this edition. If you have the older one, don't bother! I felt cheated.

I came across this book in my hotel lounge on the North Shore of Kaui last week, and couldn't put it down. So I've come looking to buy it here. Although it's designed for collectors (which I am not), and places emphasis on the values of the artifacts pictured, it's also designed to chronicle the unique history of our exotic Hawaiian Islands. Beautifully laid out, it includes images of picture postcards, Hawaiin shirt designs, garment labels, wood carvings, and glorious Hawaiian quilts - all accompanied by just enough historical lore to make it a very smart picture book indeed!
