It provides the basics for those with no experience.......2001-01-07
I bought the boxed set, but I didn't use them to pass the 3 required exams: NT 4.0 SERVER, SERVER IN THE ENTERPRISE AND NT 4.0 WORKSTATION. Why? Because each book is huge, I tried reading through the first couple of chapters of NT Server 4.0 and ended up quitting because the information was very basic. It's really good for people who have absolutely no networking knowledge at all, because it covers basic networking. I have used the program and taken some classes so I found these books a waste of time for me. I wanted to save time (who has time to waste reading a 500 to 600 page book when you can read one that's half the size)so I used Sybex's MCSE core requirements NOTES instead. These books cut through all the unnessary stuff and give you the information you need to pass the exams.
However, I must say that I would not have passed if I did not use the practice tests put out but Transender corporation. the question's used in the exam notes book's did not prepare me for the exams. In conclusion, If you want to pass read the MCSE CORE REQUIREMENTS NOTES AND KNOW THE INFORMATION ON THE TRANSENDER EXAMS AND YOU WILL PASS. I hope this helps. Good luck.
Didn't focus on how to apply knowledge.......2000-09-18
These books are awful! I am a IS Manager for a school district and the typo's I found were frustrating. For example, I used it as a quick reference for the proper UNC path for user profiles. I kept racking my brain for two hours trying to figure out why it wasn't working. I finally realized that the path they had written down (\\server_name\winnt\profiles)(p.346 in NT server 4 book) was completely wrong!!! The proper path shopuld be \\server_name\profiles\username.
Sorry, just venting. Buy the Exam crams if you want to be MCSE. I struggled with the Sybex books for 6 months. I bought the Exam Crams and passed all 6 exams in 5 months

But so far, I give the books 3 stars. I hope they will help me achieve my dream of being a blackjack wizard.
MCSE Core Requirements.......2000-05-14
Obtuse, and wordy. Authors refuse to abbreviate "Windows NT" and use it repetitively as many as 5 to 10 times per page. The material is confusing. If you are new to the subject avoid this set. As one reviewer said they can spend half a page telling you how to get to the control panel, on the other hand they will frequently make reference to something with no indication at all where to find it. Most important while you may be able to derive the information needed for the exams, this set does little in the way of preparing you for them. It only gives very brief overviews of what is required. I find the New Riders to be very helpful others might be trancendors and exam cram.
You get what you pay for!.......2000-05-12
These book only skim the surface of the details that you will see on the test. If all you want to do learn enough to JUST pass the exam, then these books are for you!
On most of the tests, there are at least 3-5 questions covering material found no where in the book. Doesn't sound like much until you realize there are only 30 questions on the entire exam. I have passed all four exams at this point on the first try.
To Summarize: Networking Essentials was a good book. Past that the rest of the books were crap. Most people I know use the Transender Practice Exams to supplement these poorly written books. It is amazing to see how much information these books do not cover.
My advice would be to check out the books from Microsoft Press. Consider it an investment in your career. Also they cover the same material in three books.

Customer Reviews:
Close but no cigar.......2006-06-26
Poorly edited book by an individual who is very knowledgeable on the subject. Book would benefit greatly by the use of color photos (why black & white in this day and age?).
Fraught with misspellings and generally a good cure for insomnia. The info is there, but it's not an enjoyable way to get it. Book has interesting testimonials from famous Gretsch owners. As a reference work, it stops too soon. Later company history and products not covered. The author obviously knows his subject, but a decent editor would have made a "ho-hum" book a real "Must Read".
Comprehensive resource for any Gretsch fan........1999-04-22
Jay Scott's excellent book gives a comprehensive run down of almost the entire Gretsch lineage. Packed with detailed model descriptions, great pictures and a healthy dose of humorous wit, this book is a must read for anyone interested in Gretsch guitars. The book is let down however, by frequent typographical and grammatical errors throughout. Some pictures are also unnecessarily reproduced throughout the book. If edited more fastidiously, this book would be almost perfect.
Brilliant chronology of the unique guitar producer, Gretsch........1999-01-21
Jay Scott has undoubtedly devoted his soul to the guitars of the Fred Gretsch Company. In his outstanding book, The Guitars of the Fred Gretsch Company, Jay concentrates on the fine appointments and unique styling of each Gretsch Model. He tends to focus on the halcion years of 1950 to the late sixties offering indepth studies of the famous models, namely the 6120 (of which I am a proud owner), the Country Gent, White Falcon, the Jet series and other rarities such as the White Penguin.
There are few books devoted solely to the Gretsch Guitar and, in my opinion, Scott's book is the most comprehensive. The pages contain many photographs and extarcts from original catologues. Also included are some interesting "custom" models (no doubt from Randy Bachman's collection) and hybrids made by Gretsch in their effort to use surplus parts. Scott also writes about the management of the company and the various owners and finally, the demise. It is encouraging that the company has found it's feet agian and is producing fine instruments in the same vein as the originals.
To conclude, any Gretsch fan should aquire this reference to further their knowlege and for pure browsing pleasure. I find myself flipping through the pages regularly gazing at those perferct arch top guitars with their flawless character. This book is a fantastic manual on the epitome of sound and luxuriant quality - The Gretsch Guitar.
A Materpiece. A "must-read" for any Gretsch collector........1999-01-16
This book is an enjoyable, informative look into a classic, American Guitar company, Gretsch. Its picure gallery alone will keep you reaching for it again and again. Jay's passion with Gretsch guitars shows. Of particular interest is the section on the Duo Jet, and its sister, the Silver Jet. The only book like it on the market today. Five stars.
Excellent source of information and great photography.......1997-04-07
After reviewing many guitar books and being an avid guitar collector Jay Scott has come up with a great book detailing the Gretch Guitar Company. From its earliest days to the now Japanese versions of this companys great classic guitars Jay covers it all. There are many readers who are interested in the history of Gretch guitars and I would strongly urge that you put this on your shopping list as a must purchase

Book Description
Since the latter part of the nineteenth century sport has become increasingly commercialised. At no time has this process of commercialisation been more apparent and occurred more rapidly than over the past three decades. There are numerous manifestations of inextricable links that have developed between sport and business. This collection examines five of them in a global context:
? the growth of the sports industry
? the commercialisation of amateur sport
? sport sponsorship; public sector organisations and sport
? and the contribution of television to the commercialisation of sport.

From the supplier: Financial concerns continue to erode the role of the artist in the arts. Because of dwindling government support and the growing competition for funding, arts organizations are compelled to adopt imaginative and, sometimes, desperate measures to ensure their survival. Examples include the failed plan of the Lincoln Center to sell its Jasper Johns painting and the Disneyfication of New York City's 42nd St.

Customer Reviews:
Perhaps the WORST purchase I ever made.......2006-07-14
This book is a complete waste of time. There is absolutely no information here that hasn't been said before. There is perhaps one or two sentences written about each episode and thats it! A total waste of time and money. You get 50 times more information in the Companion and at half the price. Additionally, there are a few pages of pictures that look like fifth generation zerox copies. STAY AWAY!!
Excellent.......2006-06-29
Missed any Twilight Zone episodes? Find it here. Bring back memories. Excellent resourse for anyone that LOVES the classic "Twilight Zone".
a must for any Rod Serling fans.......2003-09-27
Very informative, easy to use and full of information; I particularly enjoyed reading the interviews.

Customer Reviews:
Without a single redeeming quality........2004-11-12
There is little here that you can't find better described and illustrated in other more worth books on Photoshop. Most of the techniques are adequately described in Photoshop's own online help manual.
For example, Davis spends two pages describing color calibration for Windows machines. Her material is literally a lift of the Photoshop help file and fails to point out the crucial importance of truly accurate color calibration.
This is typical of the book as a whole: instruction without explanation.
A waste of money in my opinion. Anyone interested in increasing their Photoshop skills should spend considerable time either reading reviews of other books on the subject or thumbing through other tomes at the library or local bookstore.
