Paperback collectors will love it.......2004-09-26

Granted, the most enjoyable comics reading experience is with a full size graphic novel in color printed on high quality paper. However, some of us enjoy collecting illustrated books in the paperback format. The great majority of these ar not in color nor on high quality paper but they are great items none the less. If I could ever find a copy of Part 2 I would buy it in a heartbeat.

Excellent Story.......2004-07-05

I am an avid X-Men fan but usually despise any story with Aliens in it. I was surprised when I read this story how much I enjoyed it. Wolverine and Storm are two of my favorite mutants in this story and the character development of them is great. I read this story in the Essential book so I'm not aware if this edition is extra small print or whatnot.

Give us the original in color!!!.......2003-11-03

I read this when it was originally published and it was one of the best series ever printed and then I take a brief look at the black and white reprint shown here and I am aghast!!

The only reason it gets two stars from me is that the story is worth the read, otherwise this looks loke a cheesy attempt by Marvel to make a few extra bucks.

Do yourselves a favor and find this in color and get true enjoyment from the artwork, but if you are just casually curious you can pick this up for at least a good read.

Other options to read this story.......2002-09-16

This is a good storyline originally printed in the 150s and 160s of the Uncanny X-Men comic in the early 1980s. These were some of the best years of the X-Men. The team included Cyclops, Storm, Nightcrawler, Colossus, Wolverine, Kitty Pryde, and their friend Carol Danvers/Binary. These stories also involve the Brood, the Starjammers, Shi'ar, and Imperial Guard. Recommended.

If, like an earlier reviewer, you want to avoid small pages and print, you have a least one other option (besides tracking down the original back issues or the reprints in the Classic X-Men comic from the late 1980s, early 1990s. The Brood Saga storyline is contained in two phone book-sized trade paper back books: Essential X-Men #3 and #4. ... Each also contains additional stories before or after the Brood Saga which are also quite good.

The Brood and other stories treat issues of morality, slavery, mortality, and sacrifice. The comics have great depth and are also a lot of fun. The early-80s versions of space travel and alien races are great. Look for parallels with TV shows and movies like Star Trek, Star Wars, and the Alien franchise.

that other reviewer doesnt know what he's talking about.......2000-10-29

I loved this book. I know it was very small and the print was tiny, but that didnt ruin MY overall reading experience. The story is one of the most original stories out of all the millions of marvel comics that come out each week. And since the book is so small, you can sneak it in your backpack and have something to read at school while a teacher is giving lectures. The only complaint I have about it it that it doesnt include the full brood saga. Its only the first part.

If you want to read the graphic novels for the Uncanny X-men in order, its this: essential X-men 1, 2, and 3, the brood saga, X-men: Backpack Marvels 1

This is a good book

The End of the world is the just the beginning.......2003-01-25

This book is truly awesome and creepy probably great for a group of serious roleplayers. I love the small size of the book despite the somewhat small text this is helpful since D&D players often end up lugging around 20 pounds of books. Much of whats important in the game (it uses D20) including feats is all here. Combat happy players will find it difficult to survive in the end since just about anything can kill you. The tone of the book itself makes for exciting reading i heartly reccomend the end to any serious roleplayers (Muchkins, Zombies, Power Gamers, and Meta Gamers need not apply)

Customer Reviews:

Excellent material in 4th edition.......2007-05-12

Similar to many traders who own Perry Kaufman's 3rd edition of New Trading Systems and Methods, I ignored the publication of the 4th edition. Well, such oversight was my loss. Even a quick perusal of the work reveals a wealth of new ideas, techniques, and concepts. Kaufman offers ample inspiration for exploring trading problems in a new light.

Kaufman's encyclopedic coverage is unique. The 3rd edition contains 700 plus dense, fast paced material. The current edition adds another 500 pages of new and revised material. Each topic is examined with care; Kaufman has an ability to focus on the key concepts and omit the fluff. His presentation assumes a sophisticated, intelligent reader with solid software development, testing, and trading skills. Sloppy readers, clumsy testers, undisciplined `traders' will complain that this is not a `trading war stories book'--such complaints are correct; this is a trading SYSTEMS and METHODS handbook.

The book binding has a problem. At 1,200 pages, the adhesive binding is falling apart. This book requires either sewn through or over-sewn type binding. Shame on John Wiley for such embarrassing production quality!

Might interest a mathematician.......2007-04-28

I've only gotten about a third to halfway thru the book as I can't see what the author's purpose is, whether laboring thru the rest would benefit me or not. It reads like a college level textbook of the mathematics behind technical analysis. Boring. In what I read, the author worked thru proof formulas to get to more elaborate indicators. In so doing, sometimes he explained what his formula's symbols meant and sometimes not. I sure don't want to go back thru the book to see if I can find an earlier description of what the symbols mean should I ever want to use one of the new formulas. Then he compared some of the new trend followers like standard deviation against olders ones like moving average and point and figure and behold none are really better than the others. When I get stranded on a tropical isle and am bored to tears, I will page thru the rest of it.

The only book I can depend on for clear system trading information........2007-01-27

After buying a large number of highly recommended trading books (including the books referred to in these reviews), this is the only book that I can depend on to clearly explain in technical detail almost any aspect of system trading that I need information on. This book is well written, comprehensive, and approaches subjects in an objective manner. It doesn't tell you how to trade, but clearly describes the different system trading strategies and indicators, their advantages and disadvantages, and practical considerations. This is a must for those developing rule based and automated trading systems.

What more could you ask for in a book???.......2006-10-02

Trading is serious business, although you wouldn't think so, considering the way many people approach it.

The fundamental truth about all types of markets is that the minority gets the money, and keeps it. Of course, there will be times where the market trends strongly in one direction (usually up), and the masses confuse a bull market for brains. But those who are serious about earning profits, and keeping them, need to develop a method or philosophy to separate their thoughts and actions to act independently from the crowd.

If there were college level courses in financial speculation, Kauffman's book would be the required text. All sorts of twists on trend following, counter trend strategies, technical indicators, statistical methods, as well as various charting techniques, are all described. I should also add, the book comes with a CD that enables you to test various methods described in the book using Excel spreadsheets. The spreadsheets are already set up, you just need to input the data.

Some reviewers say that all of the methods are "bad." I'd disagree. This book is a valuable reference, and when you understand the logic of what has come before, you can adapt it to current market conditions. There are a surprisingly large, but finite, number of ways to slice and dice market data. But there are an infinite number of ways to combine a few them into a robust trading system.

Solid technical analysis book.......2006-08-02

This book is worth the money. The author presents solid explanations on the use of technical indicators and statistical calculations of the market. He guides you step by step in order to understand the specific applications and use of technical analysis and use of mathematical calculations applied to the financial markets. The depth of research and examples is very broad and extensive, plus the examples of the actual programming code in order to create your own trading systems is very helpful. Recommended by MTA to complete the CMT course.

Good Introductory Text.......2005-01-07

This book is a rigorous introduction on various technical analysis concepts. It does not waste the readers' time on unnecessary formalization like many college text books. Most of the information provided in the book are equally applicable to stocks, indices, etc. not just commodities as the name of the book suggests.
Topics covered - basic charting, standard indicator calculations, to concepts like trading system design and comparison. Information on each topic are rich and in detail. Some college mathematics background is needed if you would like to understand the details of the calculations and analysis.
One weakness in the book is that very little time is spent on intraday data analysis. It makes perfect sense because the original edition was written well before intraday trading (include daytrading) enters the mainstream media.
In summary, this book is very well written and is a must read for traders who are interested in learning what technical analysis is all about.

Best fundamental systems building book I've seen!.......1998-06-14

Only book that covered "Island and Continent" 3-D graphs analysis (I use TradeStation 4.0's optimization results and export the results file to Excel creating a table of profits, ROA's, Max-drawdowns, ect then graph them out in multicollored 3-d graphs).No one else (to my knowledge) has emphasized the importance of looking for stablity in parameters that are used in systems analysis. I'd never trust a system unless I saw big wide continents in both Profits and Returns on Account minimum....What good is a system unless you know that that the parameter's you're using really work...that they're not out of standard deviation and surounding param's also work! This will give the user ability to see what parameter or inputs not only make profits but where the safest and stable sets of parameters exist.Give me robust systems only please. Can't wait for his new book to come out.
