Buying-the

Ms. Evans has written one of the most up to date books on real estate with such great clarity and style. The book provides an insider's look into how the real estate industry works not yesterday BUT TODAY. It shows you how to use the Internet to your advantage. If your not using the Internet in the home buying process and have not bought this book you have missed the boat!...

Blanche has taken the worry and confusion out of using the Internet to buy and sell a home with her down to earth and common sense approach. Home owners and prospective buyers alike will find a selective amount of resources,websites, and information Blanche has reviewed to make this book a must have for any homeowner or Real Estate Agent. This book is going to help shape the Real Estate Market into a new level of knowledge and understanding.

Ms. Evans has scored big with this phenomenal book. As a Realtor who does the majority of my business off the Internet, I am going to enthusiastically recommend this guide to all of my Internet clients. There is great information contained on every page... info that every person potentially looking to relocate should gather and digest. Somewhat selfishly, I must say that Ms. Evans does do a good job crediting Realtors, unlike most books which portray ALL agents as salespeople "just out for the sale". She emphasizes that people SHOULD select a Real Estate Consultant to assist in the home search and relocation process.

Kudos to Ms. Evans for writing a book that consumers AND their Realtors can read and appreciate!

This book was by far the most valuable one I purchased while I was car hunting. I would reccommend it to anyone who has either no experience or overwhelming exeperience with buying cars, and to read it before they buy their next one. A little dated, but a short read with nothing but the facts you need.

My sister bought this book and saved several hundred dollars at a dealership in Canada and then suggested I buy this book. I bought a Saturn, no haggling, BUT I did learn A LOT about buying a car. There were a few things that I was able to save money on even though it was a Saturn. I have suggested this book to a clerk at Geico and even the person I am dealing with by e-mail in the Customer service dept. at SATURN. The book answers a lot of common sense questions and lets you know about things I NEVER would have thought to ask about. If you are going to buy a car...buy this book first and study it!!!

This is an excellent book - very easy to read and understand. I was amazed at the tricks that salesmen pull and found the advice very helpful. I lent this book to a friend buying a new car and he saved $200 off what he thought was going to be his best deal.

Gun laws are such a mess, even the most conscientious citizen will have trouble figuring out what is legal and what isn't. In addition, the subject is so culturally polarized, it is impossible for those with a strong opinion on the subject to give a clear answer to common questions. Enter this great book. Too bad it's not available for the other 49 states...

If you live in California and own a gun, this book is as necessary as a first-aid kit and a fire extinguisher in your home.

The author uses common everyday English to explain the web of firearms laws in California. It is complete with examples and court cases that define the current legal condition in the state. This is a very easy book to read and is a must for every gun owner whether you're a firearms expert or considering buying a firearm for self-defense. I bought 10 of these books for friends and family last Christmas.

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

As a yacht-broker, I find the book invaluable for its scope and wealth of detail. I only wish there were a newer edition!

This has been a wonderful reference guide to helping us find our next boat. We are still looking and wish that there was a 1999 Edition.

Absolutely outstanding! Great detail

WOW! This guy researched his topic!! THis book, hidden behind the name of a "buyer's guide" is more like the "ULTIMATE COLLECTOR'S GUIDE." The serial number lists alone set this book apart from any other M-M book out there.

This great book is set up in a easy to read model by model format. Included are, serial number runs, weights, sizes, pictures, details and facts. This book also cotaints locations to Moline related internet sites. All the sections of this book are usefully for a fledgling enthusiast (like me). This book is a great guide thats helped me enjoy a great hobby. A recommended buy!

Great book full of information on which tractors to buy, parts availability, collectibility on all models. A must have for anyone interested in Minneapolis Moline.

I bought this book this weekend and started reading it. It was in a nice display of "recommended" reading at the airport book store in Singapore. Having been in both IBM and E2open (Supply Chain software) and now Agere Systems.... no doubt in my mind - the value is clear. Implementation is complex with competing solutions and agendas. Issue is even in the same industry you have too many competing solutions. I noticed CAPS has been pushing the same themes. I liked the way you put it together and got it published.

I am currently focused on building a Supply Chain which is geographically located with the supply base. This is a huge advantage as Value Chains can not overcome the timezone - same day impact. The core advantages of key supplier relationship management are also local and can not be overcome by distance. If we can automate human behavior in these management sytstems the value chain will really gain speed.

The title is a bit misleading: the book is about a lot more than redesign. Specifically it looks at the many processes and technologies associated with supply chain management. The subject matters covered run the gamut from the basics of supply chain management to supplier relationships to the fast-changing B2B landscape. The premise of educators Handfield and Nichols is that the more effectively you integrate these activities the more value you create across the supply chain. . . . The bottom line is that the pluses far outweight the minuses. The authors have a knack for explaining a range of supply chain concepts and techniques clearly. Just as important, they reinforce the discussion with real-life examples. Every major topic is introduced by a case study that sets the context for the discussion to follow. One final observation: From a cost-benefit standpoint, Supply Chain Redesign represents a good value in today's market. Very few books these days present this much worthwhile supply chain information for such a relatively low price.

If you plan on doing a restoration of a beetle or bus this is a must have. There are other VW books out there that mention body work to a degree, but this book goes into detail for every step of the process. Of particular interest was replacing floor pans, heater channels and just about every other problem area on a beetle. There are step by step pictures as well. The book also covers interior restoration and mechanicals.

Through-out this book you will find very detailed drawings directly from Volkswagen and step-by-step instructions with illustrations. Book covers: chassis and bodywork, interiors, as well as mechanical and electrical components. Illustrations are black&white.

You begin with a foreward by Ivan Hirst himself. The man responsible from the British military for breathing life back in to the recently war torn vw plant in 1945. This is the definitive book on restoring your vw beetle and transporter. The resto focuses mainly on the beetle and only touching the real problem areas on the vw transporter (van). With this book, and some skill with the welder, you can rid your vw of painful rust and wear. You'll get a history lesson as well as a religous lesson on getting intimate with the structure and mechanics of your beloved vw. If you think you won't need this one, you're passing up an opportunity.

This is the best book my brother has ever written

This is without question my favorite book

I loved this book. I felt like I was getting the real inside scoop on the dirty tricks in the auto business. For the first time in my life, I was able to go out and buy a car, without feeling like I was being taken to the cleaners. I was in control! I loved the way the book was written, too. Mr. Raisglid really has a great sense of humor!

I cannot believe that I had so much fun buying my Acura. Using the Books suggestions I paid only $100 over cost and saved alot on my insurance. OH YEA, You will love the Directory chapter with hundreds of auto related discounters... parts, service, insurance, reviews of web sites! I never thought buying a car could be this good!I know what I am getting my auto buying and leasing friends for the Holidays. Good Luck!
