Book Description
This book opens with an exploration of the development of universal design and its impact on housing today. But the core of this title is its collection of products and plans based on principles of universal design. Sixteen grids contain information on over 1800 products from over 450 manufacturers. But more importantly, 51 universal home plans featuring a wide range of styles and sizes are offered for the first time.
Customer Reviews:
Not Really UD Housing.......2003-09-03
I think the Home Planner folks gathered up a bunch of existing designs that could possibly be engineered to become UD. Most of the floorplans are simply open plans. Some of the bathrooms they have included are not really well-designed. Don't get me wrong, this book has a lot of good designs - if you're building new construction.
I like having this book. I dream about all the modifications I'd make to really make the floorplan liveable. It's inexpensive, has a very nice opening section with lots of beautiful photos of adaptations. I'm glad I have it, but it's not a real tool for modifications. It is indeed a nice planner for new construction. On that level I recommend it. It doesn't purport to be a manual for modifications. If that's waht you want, I'd suggest looking elsewhere.
Maybe a good resource........2000-09-06
The title defines the scope of this book. It is a list of home products (cabinets, appliances, hardware, etc.) which support universal design. It also contains a number of plans which demonstrate UD (Universal Design).
The list of products shows which UD aspects each product features. The list of products is pretty good, but had several lapses that I noticed right away.
The plans tend to be on the high end. The plans are good but not extremely creative. They are not very diverse in style either.
Since the book is not expensive it is probably worth the investment for the useful information in it. Don't look for many idea photos--they aren't here. Although the author has featured numerous, nice photos of one very high end showpiece UD house, it is not the kind of house most of us will ever come close to building.
If you have made the decision to go the UD direction, this book could help with the details.

Book Description
Both a memoir and a how-to for anyone who aspires to a career in broadcast journalism, particularly in sports, this book calls on Mercer's vast experience and name-recognition in Texas to give an insider's view of everything from calling play-by-play to interviewing a celebrity athlete. Mercer began his career as the voice of professional wrestling in Dallas in the 1950s, and later went on to be a play-by-play announcer for teams ranging from the Dallas Cowboys to the Chicago White Sox in addition to a brief hard news stint at the time of the Kennedy assassination in Dallas in 1963.
Customer Reviews:
Bill Mercer is Great.......2007-07-20
Anything Bill Mercer does reaks of class and sophistication. His career continues even today after over 50 years of hard work. I had the wonderful opportunity to work with Bill Mercer at many places with the first of them being KVIL radio. I remember him tearing through the front door of the radio station being scheduled to be on the air in 10 minutes. We're talking 4:30am. All of this after being up all night on a return trip from a UNT (NTSU) "Mean Green" game. His book describes the behind the scenes of sports in a way that you can't put the book down. Bill Mercer's book should be required reading in every school in the US and Canada and a few other countries

Customer Reviews:
Her Autobiography for a Younger Audience.......2003-03-24
This was a great biography of Kerri Strug, though it was meant for a younger audience and reading level, it was still very appealing. It included many great pictures, and her biography. I think all Kerri Strug fans will enjoy the book, nevertheless how old they are. Great book, awesome pictures!
INSPIRATIONAL.......1997-11-15
This was a very enjoyable book even if you are not a gymnastics fan. It tells how she rose to the top and about her injuries along the way. I think everyone should read this book!

Vintage Milt Gross, in a Nice Edition.......2007-01-11
Reading this is like dreaming. The eye flits from sublimely vulgar image to merely sublime image, making the narrative zip along, stopping once in awhile for a antediluvial gag. He's like Fellini, but on a page instead of a screen. And with NO WORDS.
Gross was sui generis-- this is among his best work.

This has to be my 9 month old daughter's favorite book. She especially loves the illustrations. We love to read it to her at bedtime. It is a sweet story about how precious children are and how we should enjoy being parents. I can't wait to get more books by this same author.

Informative and Understandable.......2001-05-04
A very informative book that covers many aspects of heart disease including causes and prevention. Vocabulary is appropriate for the target audience. The inclusion of a glossary, index, and web links enhance the effectiveness of this book. The only drawback is the lack of a pronounciation guide for the technical term used in the book. Other than that this is an excellent choice for anyone who needs or wants more information on this topic.

Customer Reviews:
Great Book for The New Apartment Investor .......2007-09-25
This book is the best book I have read for the new investor that may be looking to transition from Single Family Properties into larger more profitable units like small to medium sized apartment building. I used his book as a model for my ascension into buying Apartment Buildings. Using his strategies were like taking money from a baby, the things to say, the usual questions and concerned i answered with Confidence. I went from 10-20 units over 4 years to 70-plus units in 12 months using his partnership techniques.
It is a must have for individuals that want to ascend to larger Real Estate Deals. The book could easily be 5 times the price.
Uri Gofman reviews How to Buy and Sel..........2007-08-09
An informative and practical guide to building an ever increasing portfolio of apartment buildings. Good information difficult to find elsewhere.
Good book some misleading information.......2007-04-12
Good book. Learnt a lot on how to valuated apartment buildings. He completely side stepped the foreclosure market and some of his advice is misleading. All in all a good book.
A Realistic Approach to Investing in Rental Property.......2006-03-28
The 2nd edition builds on the first book written by Mr. Vollucci. It is simply one of the best real estate investment books I've ever read. It has been an invaluable resource for me and many of my friends who have bought and sold rental properties all over the country. His examples come from real experience, not the imaginary scenarios that so many other real estate "Gurus" talk about.
The examples in the book gave me a step-by-step approach for investing in apartment buildings in every state, but they taught me a lot more. His chapter called "An Investment Plan to Create Wealth" shows the chronological investment periods in our lives and he shows you what you should be investing in depending on your age and risk tolerance - he even has a simple test that allows you to determine your risk tolerance. He also talks about why buying foreclosures and "no money down" strategies are a big farce. The book also covers how to buy in the right place at the right time, how to locate good property in any market, how to structure your transaction for maximum tax benefits, how to effectively analyze property and much more. My favorite chapter was on "Effective Negotiating Techniques." His advice on body language and what to say or not say when negotiating are "real world" techniques that have helped me tremendously as an active investor. His advice and methods have made me and several of my friends real estate millionaire's - it is my real estate "Bible."
Great Book!!.......2006-01-06
I don't know what the other reviewers are talking about! This book was great. It covered material that other books just forget to add, such as, analyzing properties, understanding the market cycles, when to to buy, when to sell.
Be real people, how much information can you get out a $25 book. If anyone is truely serious about this, they'll seek out different sources of information. Ultimately though, you need a good strategy to make it as a RE investor. David Lindahl's "Apartment House Riches" is an excellent source of material. Both he and this author have similar strategies.
One thing that did bother me though was all the IRR talk. I look at Cash Flow, Cap Rate, ROI, and ATCF among others. The author didn't put too much emphasis on these. But hey, maybe IRR is all you need.
