OKC CPA.......2002-12-15

I am very impressed with this reference book. It has saved me valuable time in my accounting practice. I have turned to it a number of times this past year, and so far Warren Ruppel has never let me down. He seems to have a nack for presenting a clear and thorough understanding of each topic in a concise manner. I also recommend accounting material written by Rhett Harrell.

Continues to be the top book for Governmental GAAP........2002-03-23

I've been using the GAAP for Governments book for the past three years and not only does it continue to impress me, but it keeps getting better. It is complete, easy-to-read, and has been instrumental in helping me and my associates in our practice. I've read similar books on Governmental GAAP but no other book seems to explain these difficult topics in such a clear and complete manner. This is one of the most valuable books I have every owned.

The PCT terrain varies from desert in Southern California to the High Sierra in Central California to the Cascades, which extend from Northern California, through Oregon, and into Washington. The Pacific Crest Trail Data Book was created as an adjunct to the Pacific Crest Trail: Volumes 1 and 2 published by Wilderness Press. The data book is designed for planning, tracking, and quick reference both on and off the trail.

Customer Reviews:

A must-have book if you plan to hike the PCT.......2005-07-06

It's got the bare essential data you need for the hike.
Mileage, water sources, post offices, grocery stores, etc.
Don't leave your domicile without it.

Couldn't Be Better.......2003-09-10

I can't think of anything this guide has left out. It provides not only thorough trail descriptions and maps for each segment that are detailed and clear, but also a history of the trail, both natural and historic, advice on planning your trip, and a complete list of agencies to contact for trail permits. I appreciate the details regarding flora and fauna, as well as advice from everything to supply stations to how to deal with bears. I don't believe that I have ever seen a more thorough and complete trail guide.

Customer Reviews:

Good, but lacks information for younger travelers........1999-07-24

Interesting and well written, but unfortunately only elderly travelers will benefit fully. Writer omits all mentions of State Parks, and attractions for families with children. Nice travel checklist at the end. The book should have mentioned on the front page: Colorado, at your own pace, "for Seniors".

Book Description

Seniors: Episonde 11: Prom Date.......2002-06-21

Okay, truly I have no idea what the rest of you read in your books, because in my book Jennifer gets a charm from Trisha and wishes a guy for the prom to go with, and he comes alive. His name is Duke, and Trisha goes to the prom with Gary, since her parents are in Europe at the time. Back to the review... i personally feel this book was okay, it is not the best book I have ever read, but hey its coOl. I enjoyed the way R.L Stine keeps the reader in suspense through out the whole book about Duke and who he really is, but I wish they had not made him the bad guy, it would have been coOler if Duke was just left the way he was, but then again if he had not turned bad, there would have been no action in the story. I recomend only people who have read all the other Senior Series books to read this book.

Twists and Turns.......2001-03-20

I rencently read the book "Seniors: Prom Date". I loved it. It was so fast paced that I couldn't put it down. In the book the main character was a girl named Jennifer. Jennifer had a friend named Trisha Fear. Weird visions of people being killed come to her when Trisha finds out that Jennifer is the real Fear, not Trisha. A strange, horrifying dream comes to her every night, it is of the Fear family members that have passed that rise out of their graves to try to convince her to turn evil. After all that prom is coming up and she doesn't have a date. That's when a young man, the man of her dreams calls and asks her to the prom. He told her they had met last year, and that he couldn't stop thinking about her. The strange thing was that she couldn't remember him at all. When prom comes around even more strange things start to happen. One thing is she has a vision that her date got killed at prom. This book was so good that it kept me on the edge of my seat. I have always liked R.L. Stine, and I think that this is the best book he has written...so far.

I'm a little confused.......2000-11-21

Hello all, Umm... I'm not sure what book you guys are talking about but it's not the one i read. Mine was about jennifer making a bad wish. Oh well. To those of you that haven't read the book, i won't say that the above stuff about Matty getting it and Mary doing it does not happen. You'll just have to read the book to find out. I also didn't feel like this was Stine's best work. Not a lot happened(until the end) but even when something did happen it was kind of rushed. Anyways, it's a good read to keep up with the series, and maybe catch a death or two. ;) So i would still say read this, just don't be expecting much.

Great book the best.......2000-03-12

OK OK I liked Spring Break and Prom Date the best Prom date rules It's sort of perdictible but I loved the way it ends. I like how Jennifer and Trisha are the main Charicters because they have great persinalities and sort of have somthing in commen. (to find out how they have somthing in commen read spring break or the gift. The gift gives you the whole storie)

Not What I Expected.......2000-02-20

This book in the Seniors series is not like the rest. Unlike the others this story is predictable and straight-forward. With it being the second to last book in this series it doesn't even begin to tell you how the whole story will conclude. It's not Stine's best work, but if you are a Seniors follower you might want to give it a chance.

Product Description

The climax of Marcy's last year in high school was destined to be the Senior Prom. From Christmas vacation on it was a busy and happy time for Marcy. There was her appointment as feature editor of the school paper, her regular chess games with sweet old Mr. Tuttle, and an exciting trip to Washington and New York. Perhaps most notably was the problem of Bruce and Rick. Bruce, with his yellow convertible and his charm, his humor and good looks....Rick, reliable, unselfish, and attractive, but shy and unable to dance...and Senior Prom a few weeks off!
