Great vendor and wonderful book for painting.......2006-11-03
The book is very detailed and with practice it should be very easy to learn to paint with onestroke. I have not yet had the opportunity to practice my painting, but it looks like anyone should be able to master it.

Pure Trash.......2007-02-24
Because stores (especially mens clothing) come and go this book is outdated. In fact any book of this nature (unless it lists stores that will "never" go out of business like Hermes) is a waste of time and money.
Find out what "business casual" really means.......2004-04-27
"The Men's Clothing Guide" proves to be an indispensible shopping guide while travelling. Information is broken down regionally, and even includes contacts at certain stores by employee name. It helped me a lot when I was looking for a hard to find pair of shoes; with the contact in the book I found a store in DC where the salesperson had them shipped to me in NY.
Also great for the beginner who is just getting into dressing professionaly. Read to find out what the confusing "business casual" really means. This book is a great resource for college students entering the business world for the first time.
A Complete Shopping Guide.......2004-04-19
I represent a Europian clothing company in the US and before this book it was a struggle to find information on retailers. A complete resource with all the necessary information I need. A great guide for industry people and men who "just want to dress nice".
A Great Help.......2004-04-19
I am aworking man without the time and ability to find great deals on mens clothing. This book gave me some great tips. I enjoyed it so much I bought a copy for my brother and a couple of friends and I went to the signing to get a copy. This book proves men can dress nice without having to be slave to the local department stores. Thanks Steve Brinkman.
Men & Women Love it.......2004-04-16
The first no nonsense book on making shopping a breeze for Men's clothing in the USA. All the retailers now need to be aware that there are more than 1200 hundred stores men can shop from.
The Bench Mark for Best Customer Service in the USA is now Fairfield Clothier's in Fairfield CT. A must read.
Book Description
Millions of homes are financed each year and millions more are refinanced, a process that routinely leaves consumers dazed, weary, and paying more than they should.
For more than a decade The Common-Sense Mortgage has been a consumer staple, used by borrowers nationwide to find better home loan terms and lower costs. Written in plain language, clearly organized, and filled with tables and examples, The Common-Sense Mortgage shows how the lending system works, reviews dozens of individual programs, and raises the questions consumers should ask.
Customer Reviews:
Very good book.......2005-03-17
This book is a good, basic, organized introduction to the world of mortgage. This is a serious book. I enjoyed reading it and learned a lot from it.
I guess that even the title "save 50,000.00" can be considered correct. The mortgage is more expensive than your home. If you do not know what you are doing, you will pay a hefty price.

Customer Reviews:
Great Overview/Needs Forms.......2000-06-16
This publication is concise and easy to read. The approximately 400 pages are written in layman's terms that allow for quicker reading and affords a general understanding of the various issues involved in a construction project. However, the footnotes direct the reader to legal sources that provide a substantive basis for the points addressed. The book can easily be read in 1-2 days. The Index serves as an excellent "search engine" for quick reference. The only items lacking were forms.

Smith, Currie & Hancock's LLP Common Sense Construction Law.......2004-11-11
A great introduction to Construction Law for any aspiring Project Manager or Construction Professional.
Great overview, but lacks some depth in places.......2002-06-21
This book was used as the text for a Construction Law case I took in law school. Overall I found the book to be very good. It was clear, concise, well written, and easy to understand. It also brought a pretty wide range of topics into the mix, and provided a fair amount of places to go for additional information (by way of case law). If I had to complain, and for the purposes of this review I will, I would make two comments: 1) There are areas where a little more depth would be nice. Frankly, I don't think the scope of this book really includes in-depth analysis on anything so this might be a non-issue for many folks. I just found that there were a few times (a very few) when I was looking for more information. 2. This book does a really nice job incorporating definitions for new terms into the text. However, there are a LOT of new terms and a glossary would have beeen a nice addition to the text.
Smith, Currie & Hancock LLP's Common Sense Construction Law.......2001-12-15
An outstanding work -- easy to follow, yet powerful. It delivers in-depth coverage of current law on hot construction topics. As a General Contractor, I found the book very helpful. I strongly recommend it. The industry has become so litigious that you cannot afford to not know.
Book Description
If you own a house, RRSPs, or even just have some savings stashed away, then you have an estate. And if you don't plan for what happens to your money, your children, your house and other assets upon your death, then the government will make those decisions for you— and might end up with a bigger share than anyone else.
At a minimum, estate planning involves preparing a will, but really involves much more. This revised and updated edition of the bestselling You Can't Take It With You
- Covers all areas of estate planning: financial and tax planning, wills and power of attorney, life insurance, guardianship of your children, trusts and living wills, funeral planning, and much more.
- Prepares you for dealing with your financial advisor or lawyer— and may even help you to save hundreds of dollars in professional fees and taxes.
- Features practical examples, checklists, forms, tips, and question-and-answer boxes.
- Helps you understand all of the financial, legal, and human issues around estate planning so you can protect yourself, your family, and your business.
- Includes new information on talking with your family (as well as a Family Discussion Quiz); when to appoint a professional executor; segregated funds; expanded coverage of trusts, Quebec law, and a glossary of commonly-used estate planning terms.
Book Description
"Like Portillo's films, this collection provides passionate critical responses that challenge convention on a global level. . . . The text successfully negotiates biography, theory, and production in a manner which enables readers to comprehend Portillo's aesthetic choices."
—Alvina E. Quintana, author of
Home Girls: Chicana Literary Voices
Filmmaker Lourdes Portillo sees her mission as "channeling the hopes and dreams of a people." Clearly, political commitment has inspired her choice of subjects. With themes ranging from state repression to AIDS, Portillo's films include:
Después del Terremoto, the Oscar-nominated
Las Madres: The Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo,
La Ofrenda: The Days of the Dead,
The Devil Never Sleeps, and
Corpus: A Home Movie for Selena.
The first study of Portillo and her films, this collection is collaborative and multifaceted in approach, emphasizing aspects of authorial creativity, audience reception, and production processes typically hidden from view. Rosa Linda Fregoso, the volume editor, has organized the book into three parts: interviews (by Fregoso and Kathleen Newman and B. Ruby Rich); critical perspectives (essays by Fregoso, Yvonne Yarbro-Bejarano, Sylvie Thouard, Norma Iglesias, and Barbara McBane); and production materials (screenplays, script notes, storyboards, etc.).
This innovative collection provides "inside" information on the challenges of making independent films. By describing the production constraints Portillo has surmounted, Fregoso deepens our appreciation of this gifted filmmaker's life, her struggles, and the evolution of her art.

A Marked Improvement of a Classic Marketing Book.......2007-08-08
When the first edition of Steven Van Yoder's GET SLIGHTLY FAMOUS hit the streets, I was thrilled to read a marketing book that was both strategic and practical in terms of developing a marketing plan to support my business. Steven's matter-of-fact but urgent call to get clear about your marketing platform stood out amongst a sea of writers all singing the praises of having a niche. The difference? Steven used a methodical and well-conceived approach and filled the book with case studies to validate his points. He also provided a plethora of ideas and additional resources so any reader could go forth and create a cohesive marketing plan.
Fast forward several years and now we have the second edition of Yoder's work. In the new version, Steven offers insights on how to leverage the fast-paced Internet 2.0 environment and how to make use of your excecutive thought leadership in terms of both an internal and external branding strategy. Steven also addresses the importance of cause marketing, something any entrepreneur, CEO or Marketing Director needs to pro-actively think about in the new global marketplace.
If you're just starting your business or you need a refresher course on how to develop a multi-tiered and multifaceted marketing plan. then GET SLIGHTLY FAMOUS is the one resource you need for major inspiration and highly useful advice.
Great ideas, very inspiring!! Makes you want to WORK MORE!.......2007-07-25
I liked this book a lot, tons of great ideas, very inspiring and motivating! It's not like I need to work more.. but I had to stop reading this book while I was on vacation, because it would make me want to jump back to my computer!!! I would suggest this to all new entrepreneurs as well as seasoned business owners, it's got great suggestions for all those with a small advertising budget (like me).
Featured in local News Story 1 WEEK AFTER READING THIS BOOK!.......2007-06-08
I never realized how easy it was to get my name or my companies name out in the media. Whether it be a local magazine or paper, radio or talk show, this book not only shows you WHAT YOU NEED TO DO, but HOW TO DO IT!
Every few pages throughout the book there are short articles on Real-World Success Stories as well as Tips from Successful Marketing Gurus. I found the chapter on Press Releases especially helpful. I followed the advice, wrote my press release and within ONE WEEK! was featured in a local news story.
Fast read, and very informative. Check it out!
