Book-value

I may buy this because I collect comics and I need to know how much they are worth

Written and assembled by the team of writers and editors who used to publish the magazine Comic Values Monthy (as well as Triton, and Toy Values Monthly). This guide offers sections on each of the major comicbook companies, as well as Golden Age Comics, smaller Color and B&W publishers. Very well put together, they have been issuing this guide since 1994.

I am new at selling comic books a task you can say was "left to me". I have a large inventory of underground comics and it was a great pleasure to find a section on the subject in this book. I refer to it every day.

I found this title to be very helpful for forecasting GIS implementation costs...thanks George

In my original review, I questioned whether a VDOT road map was a GIS system or not. The image appeared to me to be a scanned road map. After some research, George Korte, the author, responded that the map was produced by Intergraph's MGE GIS and cartographic publishing system. I thank the author for getting back to me on this issue. -Jonathan Soulen

Book was very helpful, and will be my desk reference. However, I do have one comment and question. The highway map shown on page 12 looks like a scanned state road map. The map may have been computer generated, but is it a true GIS? I don't think so. In these early days (years) of GIS, many computer generated maps have been portrayed as GIS, when they are not. This is due to confusion and plain lack of understanding. I think this has hurt the GIS field, and will only be overcome by time and the growth of the GIS applications

This book didn't serve as a reference on the "how to's" of infant care, but instead provided me with answers to so many of the fundamental problems new parents agonize over. It was such a wonderful change to hear Mr. Morris, a zoologist, dispell cultural myths and observe nature for explanations and suggestions. Reading this book was fun and made me feel confident that my parental instincts were in line with good care for my baby.

I love the text and pictures in this book. It would make a wonderful new baby gift for any couple. I wish it were still in print so that I could find more copies. I would keep a 'stash' and have one ready as soon as I found out a friend was having a baby.

After the birth of my now-four-year-old daughter, this was the only "baby book" I read that made any sense at all. Morris' describes the mother-child contract, a reciprocal exchange of the baby making his/her needs known and mother fulfilling those needs. He puts into words the joy each mother finds in responding to her baby, and the incredible base of life-long security established in an infant whose needs are met by a loving, playful, and competent mother. I read the chapter "Why do Babies Cry?" every other day to remind myself that what I did instinctually with my baby (i.e., pick her up whenever she cried and figure out what she needed) was exactly right. Reading "Babywatching" always boosted my confidence, and made me feel like part of a competent mother-child pair. Reading other baby books (Spock, Brazelton) always made me feel unsure and question whether I was doing the right thing. The chapters "Where do Babies Sleep?" "What do Babies Eat?" "Why do Babies Cry?" and "What Comforts a Baby?" should be issued to every parent before they take baby home from the hospital. Truly caring for a baby means connecting to your baby on many levels: physical, emotional, spiritual, and intellectual (baby intellect being the mimicking and copying they employ to learn human communication.) Babywatching describes, in simple terms, how to make these connections with your baby, and, by extrapolation, with all of the people in your lives

"Mama Duck had five little ducklings, Widdle, Waddle, Piddle, Puddle, and Little Quack. They all lived together in a nice, soft nest. But even Mama's littlest duckling was not so little anymore. "It's time to leave the nest," she said one day..." And that means it's time to learn to swim and take that first dip in the pond. All the little ducklings are very anxious, especially Little Quack. But one by one, with a lot of encouragement from Mama, they conquer their fear and take the plunge..... Lauren Thompson's simple, repetitive text is engaging and begs to be read aloud and shared. But it's Derek Anderson's exuberant and playful illustrations that really make this picture book a stand-out. Each large, dazzling spread is filled with bold color, marvelous facial expressions, eye-catching detail, and lots of humor, that makes this a perfect selection for story time. An inventive Quack-U-Lator running along the bottom of each page introduces counting and addition, and just adds to the fun. Little Quack is a delightful, interactive, preschool crowd pleaser that's sure to become an often requested, instant favorite both at school and at home.

The illustrations are wonderful. My 13-month-old loves to look at the pictures. I enjoy them, too, which makes this one of our favorite books. Also, since this book incorporates counting and addition, it will be a book we will keep reading as my son gets older.

Every child's library should have this little treasure! The artwork alone is worth the cost of the book. Derek Anderson's
five ducklings are so humorous, just to look at! Each one being quite different and amusing in its own adorable way with feathers poking up like little cowlicks as they each take Momma Duck's warm encouragement to enter the water for the first time. Oh, how I love this book!

It has been said that 'Jurassic Park' is one of Crichton's best books (if not THE best) and I agree. An absolutely amazing work of original fiction which is written to near perfection. The movie was ripped to shreds by many fans of the novel for having 1-dimensional characters, but you cannot say that about the novel. Crichton breathes life into these people, especially Ian Malcom, easily his greatest creation (and Jeff Goldblum was perfectly cast in the movies I might add).

The idea of resurrecting extinct animals wasn't originated by Crichton, but he is the guy who took the idea and ran with it to the publisher first. I just cannot think of a more compelling idea for a fictional story which bases its original theory on literal facts. The idea of visiting living dinosaurs is facinating beyond words, but Ian Malcom said it best about the process of bringing to life animals that have been dead for millions of years when he said, "You were so interested in discovering whether or not you COULD clone dinosaurs that you never stopped to think if you SHOULD." Quite possibly one of the most entertaining adventure/thrillers ever published.

'The Lost World' in many ways was set up to fail by many even before they read it. How do you top 'Jurassic Park'? Since the total originality of the first book is gone, that takes away a little of the enjoyment, but I believe that Crichton sacrificed nothing with this sequel. Staying true to his original story he wrote a sequel to his book rather than the movie version, making this that much more compelling and entertaining. Never for a minute think that 'The Lost World' isn't as fun in almost every way as the original, because it IS. It is also SO different than the very poor movie that shared the same name. Actually they only shared about 5-10% of the same storyline, enough of a difference to wonder why they didn't come out with a novelized version of the movie. While not his best novel, I found it as exciting as the original and chock full of everything that makes a thriller worthwhile to read in the first place.

I had heard for years that 'The Andromeda Strain' was Crichtons best novel...and this is one area where I disagree. Although being a fun and very good book, it is easy to see how far he has come as an author when you read it. It is very possible that this book inspired a rash of movies which imitated the main plotline of a disease or alien being brought back to earth unknowingly, but one of Crichtons best novels? I don't think so. Still it IS a must read for every fan.

Jurassic Park is an outstanding book. This is the second time I have read it and it got better. It is interesting becuase companies will probably be able to clone dinosuars like that soon. The book really kept me interested, it really didn't have a low spot. The book kinda tests your ability to understand fiction. At times you have to use a lot of imagination, but even with that it is a real good book.

All three of these books are absolute winners, and being able to read them without lifting a finger is a plus on its own! Full of action and adventure, all thee titles are sure to keep you o the edge of your seat. You'll never want to stop listening!

The second title in the superbly presented "Willowbe Woods Campfire Stories" picturebook series, The Not Me Monster is a charming tale entertainingly written by Ila Wallen showcasing the theme of honesty and responsibility. When Bunny makes an embarrassing but innocent mistake, she covers up her mortification by inventing a lie. But the lie brings new problems, and eventually, with help from a unicorn friend, she must confront what she's done and learn the value of honesty. The Not Me Monster is a thoroughly engaging story that comes alive with fresh, full color illustrations by Robert Sauber. Also highly recommended is the first title in the series, The Moon In My Room ...

As the mother of a child who sometimes says "Not me," I welcome The Not Me Monster to her library. This is a fun story about how telling the truth is better than making up a fib. And my daughter LOVES the "Find the Frog" game at the end. Plus you offer additional resources to parents through your Web site. Bravo. It's nice to see some publishers truly understand parents and children.

I realy liked the Not Me Monster. There was a monster in the woods. Bunny chased it away. She learned to tell the truth. It is easyr then your friends geting mad at you. I like the froggy game at the end. This is a good book. I think my friends and cuzins would like it.

Dr. Charles Stanley clearly defines needs and wants in this both insightful and inspirational book. He helps the reader understand their wants and needs, then leads the reader to successful methods to fulfill those needs.

This book sincerely changed my life. Things that most of us consider needs are really wants and each chapter places the reader closer to fulfillment for those wants and needs. I occasionally pull out the notebook I kept while reading this book as a reference and inspiration.

I picked up this book when trying to better understand God's plan for me in life. I had so many questions about my path in life and was angry with myself because I could not achieve those things. This book helped me answer many questions and move toward peace.

This book is a must have.

this book has answered so many questions that i have asked so many pastors with no avail. my mind is filled with hope, where i thought i was alone. charles stanley is wonderful, and my own doctor says he has learnd so much more from his books. thank you, for helping me get through very bad times since 1996. i know that i am on the right road, for heaven, and God is my way to heaven thanks to charles stanley.

This book has it all for meeting needs and desires of the Christian male/female for your daily life that follows most of Dr. Stanley's sermons seen on TV.

This is a wonderful way for Christian children to remember how to do the right thing. For those of you who march to a different divine drummer, try either Bobtales Bedtime Stories or Proud to be Good! Music Casette for a more humanistic approach to character education. No matter which beat you prefer - reminding your child how to make the right choices is essential in today's crazy world!

I teach a Bible class to preschoolers and I purchased this book as a guide for my "how to be good lessons," which I use in conjuction with the Bible lessons. I start each lesson with a "how to be good lesson" found in Right Choices and then proceed to the Bible lesson. The structure of the book is great - one subject per story, simple questions to ask the children, a prayer and a scripture. The children grasp the concepts and are quickly learning the basics of how God would have us live.

We picked up this book while looking for a guide for our family devotions with our three year old. The structure of the book is great - one subject per story, simple questions for you to ask your child, a prayer and a scripture. Our three year old grasps the concepts quickly and is learning the basics of how God would have us live. We have enjoyed the book as parents and our son asks to have devotional time and brings us the book.

Very easy to read for our 20 month old son. This book follows the simple yet effective Spot "formula" and does not disappoint. Our son keeps coming back to it.

Very clear and easy to read and understand. My son is two-years old, and loved spot since he was 8 months! The book is simple to understand just like all "Spot" videos. Spot is always loveable and friendly.

He always puts a smile to my son's face.

I can always count on "Spot" books and videos.

simple and clear to understand for my two-year old. I can always count on any of "Spot" books or videos. My son love him!

This Cryptic Collection of Stories is as Scary As Hell. I would recomend it to any Scary Story fan. It makes it better than reading the book caus you can enjoy it in the Dark. Warning: THIS IS VERY SCARY. Stories like Sometimes They Come Back, The BoogyMan, and especialy Jerusalems Lot will freak you out.

I listened to the 5 stories today and found it very entertaining. I have seen the movie The Lawnmower Man and it was quite different. But this version was real good. I liked Sometimes they come back the best. Quitters Inc, The ledge and The mangler were all very good as well. This is my 1st King exposure to his horror stories and it was all I expected it to be. I recommend it highly. Narrator John Glover is very good too.

This was just as good, or maybe even better than reading the book! The things that made it a lot better were the reader, John Glover, he was so great, and the sound effects. I was listening to Lawnmower Man, and I didn't remember it was that scary! This audio book should be heard after you read Night Shift, or if you aren't planning to. All the short stories are guaranteed to give you sleepless nights, and it is a high recommendation!
