"Spin Again" is one of several good books for game enthusiests and collectors available on Amazon. Of them, this book is has the best in visual design; a fun, well layed out "coffee table" book about the best of the cool baby boomer games.

[NOTE: You can read my review of several of the other books on games and game collecting in my review of "Games: American Boxed Games and Their Makers 1822-1992"]

Compared to some of the price guides, "Spin Again" doesn't cover nearly as many games as the others, but it is designed more as a display piece than a reference book. However, this book does contain quite a lot about the game company histories and histories of some of your favorite classics, and some cool games you may never have heard of... This book is great fun!

The "Stories of Jesus" collection is four small board books featuring Bible stories about Jesus. Each of the books covers one of the following stories; "Jesus Feeds the People", "Jesus Heals a Little Girl", "Jesus Helps a Blind Man", and "Jesus Stops a Storm". At the end of each story is an appropriate Bible verse and reference. These are sturdy books built to put up with the abuse of very young children. At about five inches by five inches they are small enough for little hands. These are highly recommended for Christian homes with small children, church libraries, and Christian preschools.

Beautifully enhanced with colorful "animation-style" illustrations by Tim Gillette, and collaboratively written by Edward and Sarah Bolme, Stories Of Jesus is a superbly produced set of four 5"x5" board books designed specifically for children newborn through five years. The individual titles comprising this very highly recommended series includes Jesus Feeds the People; Jesus Heals a Little Girl; Jesus Helps a Blind Man; and Jesus Stops a Storm. Christian parents and church sponsored preschool centers concerned with instilling faith-based feelings of calm and security in their children during these troubled and troubling times are well advised to acquire the Stories Of Jesus for the edification of the youngsters in their charge.

This book makes a wonderful gift! I went through each page and pasted my own memories in print, of my best friend and I in relation to the picture on the page. It provides lots of laughter and reminiscing for the both of us! It shows frienship in a very simple, yet heartwarming way.

This book is ideal for best friends to exchange -young and old!!

My one year old son loves the things that go series by DK publishing and when he found the bigger version with new photos in it he had to have it. He actually sits still to look at it.

My son loves tractors and trucks and cars and he loves his tractor book with wheels on it. If your little boy loves anything that digs or rolls or drives buy this book.

The Tale of Peter Rabbit by Beatrix Potter was an excellent book. I would recommend it to people of all ages even though it was s targeted towards younger children. The book was about four little rabbits that all wanted to go down the lane or into the fields. The only place that they were not allowed to go was Mr. McGregor's garden. Flopsy, Mopsy and Cottontail were good little bunnies and went down the lane to the field. But Peter was very mischievous. He went to Mr. McGregor's garden!! When he got into the garden he saw the best sight of his life. There was food galore! He started to eat and eat and eat. He couldn't stop. Then Mr. McGregor found him and chased him through the garden! Peter had many obstacles that stood in his way! Did he make it out safe? Read the book and you will find out.

I purchased this book for our daughter when she was about 6 months old but she wasn't at all interested in it, unlike 95% of our other purchases. Then at about 12 months she picked it out for me to read it to her, and it has increasingly become a favorite. I think the reason she didn't like it earlier on was, ironically, the same reason I readily purchased it - the beautiful watercolor illustrations. While they are very beautiful, they are somewhat muted resulting in a look that blurs all of the detail together. Of course, this is just a guess. At any rate, she now very much enjoys this book, and anticipates the action, such as Peter sneezing, or the "scr-r-ritch, scratch" of a hoe. Board books with a storyline are somewhat more difficult to find than the counting, color, alphabet, opposites, etc. kind, and my daughter has always definitely enjoyed stories. Additionally, this book teaches us there are repercussions for our actions, but in a tone that is mild and appropriate for young toddlers. If this is what you're looking for, and you're not looking for storybooks for a younger baby, this would be an excellent choice.

Bob Garratt's book completes a trilogy: the others being "The Learning Organization" and "The Fish Rots from the Head".

His offerings come at a particularly important time, both for the world of business and for civil society. Bob addresses issues around the globe, and his observations and opinions are of value within an equally wide variety of contexts.

I hope that decision-makers will consider how his views and ideas relate to their own spheres of responsibilty, whether they are in corporate life or government.

This is an enlightening, to-the-point, and highly absorbing probe of the role of the board. The author pulls no punches as he explores the rising power of CEOs and why boards fail. The book reveals how many recent business disasters are due to ignorance, strategic incompetence, and personal cowardice at the board level, along with the rise of the "celebrity CEO."

Garratt does more than point up the core problems; he shows how boards can re-establish their governance role and primary loyalty to the company as a legal personality. Garratt's main aims for change are assessing board performance, developing a learning board, and professionalizing the board. Distinctions between UK and US boards are made, but Garratt sees boards in both countries facing the same root issues.

This is a book that really delivers knowledge and keen observations. We at Stern's Management Review Online hrconsultant.com find that the author's views are carefully argued and gutsy, and his conclusions and direction for change are strategic, forward-looking, and challenging to those at the top. THIN ON TOP is THICK with insights and ideas. Must reading for directors, top executives, and other stakeholders.

My son positively loves this book and "My Valentine Counting Book." The illustrations are fabulous, and given that my son is only 10 months old, I'm guessing that's what he loves so much! He pages through them time and again, and sometimes the only way he'll lie still for a diaper change is when he's got one in hand. (My favorite part is the last page, when I get to kiss him and say "but most of all, I love you!")

Where has Varda Livney been hiding? Her illustrations are magnificant. Her color and creatvity are captivating. My kids love it and want to read it over and over. Can't wait to see more from her!

Note that this is the 3rd edition, which had deleted the historical references to 1948 Palestine which were in the 1st (B&W) & second (color) editions. This makes it less interesting. The earlier eds were more interesting because of their historical content, like the Blue Lotus. Unfortunately, I don't know where to find them.

This is a splendid book. Beginning with the slightly dimwitted but highly amusing antics of Thomson and Thompson, and ending with one of Abdullah's pranks, it is filled with all the adventure and humour characteristic of the Tintin books. It's wonderful and I recommend it to all.
