A Huge List of Celebrity Addresses
I am an autograph collector and I was happy to see how complete this book is. I collect astronauts who have walked on the moon, hi-tech business people such as Bill Gates, movie actors like Tom Hanks and baseball sluggers like Sammy Sousa and Mark McGuire. They are in this books with thousands more. It is well organized and I liked the extra features of sample letters and questions & answers about autograph collecting. It is a very good reference for autograph collectors.

THE ULTIMATE IN ADDRESS BOOKS
I HAVE READ THIS BOOK AND IT IS TERRIFIC. DAVID MOORE HAS PUT TOGETHER AN AMAZING AMOUNT OF FACTS, NAMES & ADDRESSES. HE HAS CATEGORIZED THE CELEBRITIES AND HAS INCLUDED THE AWARDS THAT THE CELEBRITY HAS RECEIVED. HE MAKES IT EASIER TO WRITE A LETTER TO THE CELEBRITY. THIS BOOK IS A MUST FOR ANYONE WHO WANTS TO CONTACT CELEBRITIES.

A great Spider-Man story with a shocking twist at the end!
Published in 1990, The Amazing Spider-Man: The Death of Jean DeWolff is a trade paperback collection that reprints Peter Parker, The Spectacular Spider-Man #'s 107-110 (October 1985-January 1986). This story was about the death of police officer Jean DeWolff, who was a recurring character in the various Spider-Man comic books at the time. Her unfortunate death was committed by the Sin-Eater, a crazed madman. Written by Peter David and illustrated by Rich Buckler, this story has a shocking twist at the end. It's also interesting as the events of this story unfold, Spider-Man himself ends up in some extreme fury and rage, which is usually not the case with everybody's favorite neighbourhood wallcrawler. One of writer Peter David's early comic book works, The Death of Jean DeWolff is a must have in anyone's library.

The Way Spider-Man should be done
This is some of the earliest comics work of Peter David, and is a great example of how Spider-Man should be written.

Jean DeWolff was a recurring police officer in the Spider-books. Her death at the hands of a serial killer named the Sin-Eater was a major crisis for Spider-Man. The webbed one is usually a fairly light-hearted guy, but this story had an edge to it that made it stand out.

If this book becomes available again, and you have any interest in the character, the author, or comics in general, pick this one up!

An exceptional exhibition of turned wood
The principals of the Del Mano Gallery have presented an excellent photographic rendition of the extraordinary craftsmanship exhibited at their Los Angeles (Brentwood) gallery.

While the photo illustrations are excellent, the photos do not do justice to the actual visual representation of each piece. These works of art need to be seen first individually in order to appreciate their craftsmanship.

Essential to a Hollywood stills reference library
This beautifully printed volume belongs on your Hollywood shelf beside the works of Kobal, Trent & Lawton, Vieira, and anything else on or by George Hurrell. A brief 30-page recap of the history of still photography in the movie industry is followed by 255 pages showing examples of the work of 43 of the most notable stills men (including two women) who snapped the stars, scenes, and environment of the movies during their first 60 years. A brief chronology of the career (as far as it is known) of each photog is included. All the photos are given their best reproduction on heavy enameled (I believe that's the term) paper. It does make you wish more books containing work by Ted Allan, Bob Coburn, and other Hurrell contemporaries had been published.

Well written financial planning primer for women and men.
I am a Certified Public Accountant with a background in financial planning. In February, I purchased the book for myself. The information wasn't new, but it spoke to me in volumes. For Valentine's day, I purchased the book for my assistant and secretary.

I have finished the book once, and have now been going through it a second time implementing each of the seven items.

During tax season, many of my clients ask for advice? What should we be looking to invest our money in? What does the Roth mean? How much insurance do we need? How do we plan for retirement? Should we be making gifts to our children's college fund? Many times I am not able to spend as much time, during the tax season as my client will need to absorb the information provided then begin working on the plan. This book allows my clients the time to understand the basics of financial planning. Know the time requirements on both them and myself to become effective. This is a wonderful starting point.

I often recommend books that I have read on financial planning, but this was the first time that I not only have recommended the book I went out and purchased over a dozen additional copies. I have given them out not just to Smart Women, but young couples, and those looking toward retirement. The information is sound. It's easy to understand. If the steps are followed they will make any client Finish Rich.

This Book is not a shoulda, a coulda, a woulda, IT IS A MUST
It was by accident that I picked up this book. Once I started reading it, I knew it was no accident! In "Smart Women Finish Rich", David Bach has captured and put into powerful language a blueprint for success for any woman (or man for that matter) who wants to create absolute financial mastery! His book illustrates how any woman, regardless of income can take the steps to create financial health, vitality and ultimately FREEDOM. As a success coach and entrepreneur, many of my clients (including myself) are often challenged by financial issues, there is no question that I will recommend this book ten times over due to its powerful and direct message and recommendations. Bach makes taking control of a usually stressful area of life more pleasurable, he helps you access your vision for the future and his writing style is one that makes you feel like he is addressing and coaching you personally. I finished this book excited about the future and have a strong handle what I need to do NOW to create the kind of financial abundance I want, and deserve!

What a difference a good book can make!
Yes, I am one of those educated, smart women that has not done much with my money, other than spend it on things I don't need! You must be thinking, "she must not be that smart afterall!" Well, I just never had anyone teach me about money, and I never was really motivated to do anything about it. For those of you who think someone else is going to take care you...don't. You need to know about your money...married or single. Reading "Smart Women Finish Rich" has changed my financial life. It contains the information for literally anyone from any walk of life to get started. This book contains forms to determine where you are at right now with debt, cash outflow, etc., and then walks you through ways to save and invest that money, resulting in a secure future. It also clearly explains all the language, basic concepts, and types of funds, retirement accounts etc. After reading this book, you really will have a much better understanding of how to control your finances, and you will NOT be intimidated again. If you read any book this year, read this one. It really will make a difference in your life!

Smart Women Finish Rich
This is one of the best books I have read. David takes you from the begining with basics through to financially educated. It was hard to put this book down. I believe every women who does not handle her finances should read this book. Get on the "wagon" and know what is really going on out there in the world. I already handle our family finances, but I have gained so much more knowledge and organization from this book. I have gotten all my friends at work to read this book. I recommend all of David Bachs products.

AN AMAZING BOOK
I LOVED this book, It really helped me put my financial and future life in order. I am 33 and am a model and have been sort of investing in my future but wasn't sure if I was on the right track. I had tried to read many other books on financial success and ask financial advisors my questions but was always confused and thought the books were a snore. I picked up Davids book at a bookstore and literally could not put it down. It was so insightful, and easy to read, it has many real life instances that we as women can relate to and helps you understand in plain english how to make the most of your life. I know now what to do with my investments and how to make the most of my financial and personal life. I have bought this book for many friends and family, they all love it and are on their way to retiring rich!!!!
Whether you are married or single you as a woman should know everything about your finances and this is a great and easy way to get started on the right track!! It is hard to explain how many ways this book can help your life, its just the best book you could ever read for your present and future wellbeing!!!

Smart Women Finish Rich
I recently got divorced and needed some financial advice. I bought David Bach's book "Smart Women Finish Rich" and was hooked right away. He gives sound advice in an easy to read format. I have made several changes for the better (i.e. saving for retirement, deciding to go back to college) since reading his book. I highly recommend this book!

The recipes _are_ yummy!
I received this book as a gift and have been very impressed. This book has been a useful resource in adding more calcium to my diet with its helpful hints and calcium tables. The Carrot Broccoli Cilantro Salad is one of my favorite recipes ever. The Chunky Corn Chowder is also great.

I already loved the calcium-rich ingredients that this book relies on (dark leafy greens, tofu, almonds - to name a few) but the recipes are creative enough that they can hopefully win over those who do not.

Many of the recipes take quite a bit of time to prepare. That is the primary reason that I do not use this cookbook more often. However, if you plan ahead you can prepare some of the ingredients while others are cooking to save time.

Delicious recipes every time!
I originally purchased this cookbook for a science fair report my daughter was doing which focused on the detrimental effects of dairy on the human body. We began making some of the recipes and were hooked! Our family rates new meals and each recipe we have tried (over a dozen thus far) has received high marks from all family members. I appreciate the fact that the tastes of the various meals varies considerably, but the recipes use many of the same produce items, which allows me to stretch my grocery budget. While the meals are tasty, they are time-consuming to prepare, but definitely well worth the effort. The recipes are easy to follow, with each page offering interesting calcium tidbits and meal enhancing ideas. I was disappointed that the dessert section recipes fairly consistently call for granulated sugar. The desserts look wonderful, but I'll have to experiment to substitute for the granulated sugar. The calcium table in the back of the book is a tremendous resource for finding high calcium foods; I've learned much! I'm planning to spend some time on line tonight, looking for more cookbooks by these authors!

CalciYum! A Must for Every Kitchen
CalciYum! has been a blessing in my kitchen. Not only are the recipes delicious and the instructions easy to follow, but I also know that my daily calcium needs are being met. The book has a wonderful resource table that lists the amount of calcium in each of the ingredients. This way, I can even boost the calcium in some of my own recipes. With a nutritional analysis for every recipe, an ingredient cooking guide, and tasty recipes, I recommend this book wholeheartedly to anyone.

You Need A Personal Plan
I like the title of this book more than I like the actual book itself. Yes, it does get you thinking about making a plan to fit your own particular needs, but it's too restrictive in its approach.

Wealth can be measured in many different forms. This work only looks at the dollars and cents of it all, but how much of the true richness of life comes out of your wallet? When you're on your death-bed will you be thinking about the money you made? Or will you be thinking about the one person you loved most? The connection and intimacy you shared? So while I applaud you for wanting to master your financial future, I implore you to go a step further and explore the mastery of your interpersonal relationships.

Books like Clint Arthur's "9 Free Secrets of New Sensual Power" will take your issues of intimacy and connection and pump them up stratospherically above your present levels of power, with a revolutionary approach to personal development spawned by sexual skill and success. And it's not like he's teaching you to have ordinary good sex, either -- his stuff is radically different than most people's concept of sexual excellence. (Or watch his DVD "New Free Sex" for a more spiritual slant.)

Also you should take Dr. Phil's audio seminar "Getting Real" with someone you care about. The questions and excercises in this book will push your emotional boundaries and get you onto a more solid footing. And lastly you should indulge in some sheer escapist entertainment, like a super-trashy novel on the order of Andrea Sharkey's "Legends of Power" which twists the boundaries of time and space in an unusually entertaining romp of the heart. Shaking things up with unexpected inputs of entertainment can spark creativity in your brain that will make the mental connections you will need in achieving your Personal goals. (For don't forget, all work and no play make Johnny a dull boy.)

Now that you have your personal Financial Plan in mind, and your Personal plan along side it in your brain, go out there and work your way to riches!

Balancing YOUR values and money management
We gave this book to each of our 7 children. Within a week, one child had reported back that their family had discovered how they could save $1500 a year using the principles found in the latte factor.
This book teaches money management skills that are based on one's personal values. It takes one through excercises designed to help one identify what values are important, and then based on those values develop financial goals. For example, if missionary work is an important goal, this book will help one develop a plan for saving towards that goal. Mr. Bach emphasizes that YOUR values should drive your financial planning.

Get Your Hands Dirty To Enrich Your Finances & Your Life!
The reason I like David Bach so much is he doesn't give dry advice. He coaches and cajoles you into figuring out what your values and goals are, and then helps you examine how your finances can get you there. I love his books Smart Women Finish Rich and Smart Couples Finish Rich, and hoped this work book would be a valuable addition.

It is very helpful, and just the coaching/figuring life values part is worth far more than the purchase price. I am confused, though, as to whether this is supposed to be a companion guide to his "Finish Rich" books, or if it's a stand alone book. It does seem to contain much of the information from his books, without as many anecdotes (which I personally enjoy - they make the material come alive) - so there is overlap, but not completely.

My advice to you is to but this AS WELL AS the Smart Women (or Couples) Finish Rich book. Read the main book so you get the wonderful personal flavor that Bach imparts, but use the workbook to do the exercises. It's a little more expensive since you're buying two books, but for my husband & I, it's been worth every penny.
