If you want more money, GET THIS BOOK! "Cousin Jimmy" will open your eyes to the power of "The Time Value Of Money" like no one else. I've heard some people put Jimmy down for his easy folksy style of writing and speaking, but I find it to be an asset. He gets his points across to the reader in a way that wakes up your financial genius without confusing the reader with complicated formulas or boring, useless esoteric theories that would never apply in this universe. Jimmy has done everything he writes about, and he has been very successful at making money, and also in teaching others to do so.

You will learn how to use a financial calculator to really understand income streams, how to compute note payments under various combinations of term, interest rates, payment amounts, future value, balloons, and present value. You will understand how to purchase notes for a profit, how to restructure these notes to improve their present value, and how to use these instruments to create a cash flow, or to use them as currency to acquire properties. These properties can then be used to create your own notes to continue the process. And this is only the beginning. The return on your capital can be outrageous! Your stock market friends will envy and hate you. Your enemies will fear and respect you. Women will want you. Life will be good!

But even if you are not really interested in real estate notes and mortgages, the financial advice and principles that you will learn in this book will serve you well in Life. Much like "Rich Dad, Poor Dad", Jim Napier will impart sound guidance to the reader about money and finance that will be good for your financial health. This advice has made a tremendous difference in my investing and my business, and I know that you should not go through another day of your life without understanding the things that you will learn from this book about money and human behavior. You owe it to yourself and your family. Don't continue to make expensive mistakes with your money that will cost you your future financial security, simply because you already think you are sooo smart. Don't be too cheap to buy this book and read it. Don't be like most people who, after working for a lifetime, cannot retire without drastically reducing their lifestyle and depending upon the charity of their family for support.

What will it really cost you if you do not understand the contents of this book? How might your family benefit if you do?

I REALLY liked this book. Jimmy Napier's "Invest In Debt" is one of the best books to add to your library if you are at all interested in buying paper. In fact, it probably should be the first book you buy if you are intrigued by the possibility of making money buying mortgages, notes, deeds of trusts, mobile home paper, etc. Among those who are knowledgeable in this field, this little book has become somewhat of an underground classic.

Jimmy writes in a very "folksy" down to earth style. Not only is this book easy to read, but it opens up your mind to new ways of looking at money and the miracle of compound interest. I went to 19 years of school and was never taught the financial concepts that this book teaches. Once you grasp the simple ideas that are conveyed in this book, you should be on the road to dramatically improving your financial position in life. After you read and digest what Jimmy says, you can then look for some of the more advanced material regarding making money with paper. The concepts taught by Jimmy are fundamental to many other books and courses that you can find. I used some of Jimmy's concepts to make money with a few older mobile homes. In a year I had turned $200 into about $9000. Not too bad. If I can do it, anyone can. I highly recommend this book.

Before attempting to purchase mortgage, car, cattle, or mobil home mortgages or liens an hour spent with the philosophy and wisdom of Jimmy Napier will pay off in spades... the best first step you can make I fully recommend Jimmys book

This is an entertaining and well written children's book and tape set mostly due to the collaboration of Johnny Cash's narration and song with up and comming country star, Annie Wilson, on back up lyrics. While the book was not a best seller, it is a must have.

This was an entertaining well written childrens book with the collaboration of the famous Johnny Cash and background vocals of up and coming Annie Wilson. Well it was not a best seller, it is definately a must have. Anyone who enjoys it will also like Eric Herbst's other children's book, The Rainy Day Blues, a collaboration with B.B. King.

Your book has saved my life, This book has taught me to value my money and not to spend it with those.. stores, who do not share the millions and millions of dollars in profits with me. Never would I have given a second thought... to receiving money in a form of a rebate and being able to use this money to pay off my bills, your book recommends many great stores, with wonderful merchandise many of which I was shopping at, and not getting anything except my purchase. Now thanks to your rebate book I have saved hundred's of dollars (I am getting paid to shop for my self). Stores are forming a line for my business. Just my buying need Items, toliet paper, soap and those great vitiams.. are helping to pay off my debt. This is incredible, This book is well over due. Isaac Hill had I an oppurtunity to your book sooner my financial health would be great. I look forward to becoming debt free.

Thank you.

My brother bought this book years ago in college. It had a ton of good info for college students at the time, and it was just a great *fun* book in general.

Very outdated now, but I'd love to get it again just to have it as a part of Mac history.

This is an excellent buy for any Cash fan. The photos are great, the poetry is beautiful, and the family history is more than adequate for getting a good feeling of where the man in black came from. The early promotional photos from Sun Records are just awesome and from reading the poetry it seems as though everyone in the Cash family has a knack for words. This book really has it all, insight into the lives of each Cash family member, poems written for mothers, fathers, grandfathers, a family tree, and even photos of former spouse's children! Just a great book to have.

"Johnny Cash" by Frank Moriarty is a large, coffee table format book about country music's biggest living legend. It is filled with excellent photos and concise text chronicling Cash's incredible career. Fans will love it!

I have been reading and studying different versions of the Bible for years. It is my favorite book to read. As a fan of audio books, it is quite natural that I should want to listen to the Bible. However, it proved to be difficult to find a set that is pleasant and satisfying to listen to. Most are read too quickly, are too monotonous or overly dramatic. Johnny reads slowly, so that the listener has time to enjoy the words, and his love for God's Word shines through. There is no musical embellishment, Johnny simply reads the text and allows it to speak for itself. Anyone should enjoy this, but I can't help thinking what an especially good gift it would be for the elderly and those who are unable to read.

This set contains two now out of print audio books: "Four Card Draw" and "The Turkey Feather Riders." All three are well done with a great cast of characters and special effects. The audio is crisp and clear, easily heard in an automobile's noisy environment.

Four Card Draw. Louis L'Amour starts this audio volume with a short discourse on period books about the old west. "Four Card Draw" is told first person by Allen Ring, a gambler who wins the Red Rock Ranch in Arizona. He is told the ranch is haunted by someone who was murdered there. That someone was one of the three Haslet brothers, owners of a neighboring ranch, who are out for revenge. Allen walks right into the middle of a frying pan and ends up fighting for his life!

Riding For The Brand. Jed Asberry wins a poker game only to find himself robbed by the angry losers. They dump him in the desert with no clothes, left to die. Days later, on his last legs, he stumbles across three recently killed people (two men and a woman)... in the middle of the desert. Taking clothes, guns, and papers from one of the men, Jed becomes Micheal Latch. Micheal was on his way to inherit a ranch, so Jed decides to assume this role. He finds himself up to his neck in serious shooting trouble as someone else is willing to murder to get the property!

The Turkey Feather Riders. Louis L'Amour starts this story by giving a short discourse on cowboys and the cattle business as it was in the 1860's through 1880's (and now). Jim Sandefer is the forman for a New Mexico ranch. His boss, Grey Bowen, makes a sudden visit (after years of being away) with his daughter, Elaine, and some new guests: Rose and Lee Martin. Grey wants to marry Rose, but Jim discovers that she and her son are up to something that doesn't smell right! Then the shooting begins!

Well worth the purchase price. Run Time: 180 minutes.

At 50 I'm still the fantasy freak in the house and found this book as enchanting and enjoyable as any I've read. My wife the murder mystery consumer was totally enthralled by the tale when searching for a diversion from her regular reading. We've both read the tale more than once and have made present to one of our nephews of a hard back version of the book, that's how much we liked it. When you finish reading this book you set it down with a feeling of satisfaction, that everything wrapped up quite nicely, and wonder if there will be another to follow.

I have had my copy of this book for over 10 years now. My mother read it to my younger siblings and me when I was a tweenage girl. I pick it up and read it every few years and have also read it to my son. He thought it was great, too.

It's a great, old-fashioned fairytale set in today's world. Be warned - It is not an everyone gets along in the end story. The ending ends as it should with everyone getting exactly what they deserve. It makes you wish that there was a little book dragon looking over your shoulder.

I would recommend this book to adults and children alike. It has a moral message that a child as young as 4 or 5 would get but has enough levels to keep everyone entertained.

I found this book as an adult, but I was totally enchanted, and it became the start of my collection of dragons. This rates with Anne McCaffrey's dragons--friendly dragons. This tale is so enjoyable, yet not predictable. Moral, but not preachy. And kids will love the good guy/bad guy tension.
This is a book every child (and most adults) should have the pleasure of having in their life.

I have always been a fan of the movie "A Christmas Story," and I can't even remember where or when I heard that it was based on Jean Shepherd's "In God We Trust All Others Pay Cash," but I do remember that rushed to the bookstore I work at (on my day off) and ordered in 10 copies. I read the book the night it came in and sold the remaining 9 copies the next day. I repeat this ritual every year adding more copies to my order each and every time. This book simply fantastic and I have never heard anyone say they didn't like it. The irony of Sheperd's narrative combined with the memories of childhood make a perfect post-Christmas read. No one can re-tell events as well as Shepherd except for maybe David Sedaris (Naked, Barrel Fever).
I usually cringe when books are made into movies, yet this story is so great that nothing could do it injustice.
I can't praise this book enough. Set in midwest during the depression, Shepherd shows that although times were tough, families were still families. This book is sometimes painfully, yet comically real, and I can't say that any other book has made me want to be as kid again - nor make me want to have a family - as much as Shepherd's.

As I suspect has been the case with other younger adults of my generation, I first became familiar with the works of humorist Jean Shepherd after watching the delightful 1983 motion picture "A Christmas Story" (reviewed elsewhere in this catalog). It would take some time before I finally decided to read "In God We Trust: All Others Pay Cash", which the movie was partly based on. Those of us who enjoyed Shepherd's side-splitting narration in "A Christmas Story" will not be disappointed by the book, although the movie is more upbeat and lacking the book's satire. The premise of "In God We Trust" is simple: New York-based writer Ralph Parker is back in his mythical hometown of Hohman, Indiana to write an article on this blue-collar Midwestern town for a magazine. Between drinks at his old friend Flick's tavern, Ralph reminisces on his childhood experiences in Hohman during the Depression and the colorful characters who were so much a part of the town. Throughout the book, Shepherd uses masterful similes and metaphors in describing the most basic aspects of life during Ralph's younger years. The book is funny indeed, and there is enough satire in the nostalgic references to disqualify Hohman from becoming a Norman Rockwell painting. There is also a feeling of pathos in Shepherd's brand of satire, as Ralph describes the drab experience of living in a town surrounded by pollution-spewing steel mills and oil refineries, a town where there is not much of a future unless you own a bar or used-car lot or work in one of the nearby industries. The denizens of Hohman do find moments of respite from the drabness during Christmas, the Fourth of July, the Thanksgiving Day parade, or a trip to the movies, often with hilarious consequences. After reading the highly enjoyable "In God We Trust: All Others Pay Cash", I can understand how Jean Shepherd earned his reputation as a master satirist and raconteur.

I see from the posted reviews that most people know Jean Shepherd from his books and movies -- all of which are great -- but that was not his primary medium, the medium in which he excelled far beyond anyone either living or dead: radio. Mr. Shepherd had a half hour radio show just about every night in New York City in the 1960's, and possibly back into the 1950's. It was a hypnotic show, and he had a vast following. I used to scrunch down under the covers in bed with my transistor radio to catch his virtuosos performance every chance I got. He was a wild guy. I think he was thrown off the air at least once for disparaging the quality of his own advertisers! One time he almost started a riot at Coney Island. He was totally irreverent. And the uncontested kind of radio patter. I was always amazed at how fresh and funny he was, night after night. It's a shame we don't have any of those shows as recordings. All we've got is the books and movies. Oh well. Time marches on. Just wanted you to know this man's real genius. I can still hear his theme music . . . it sounded like horses lining up at a race track and charging forward madly. The man definitely had a message.
