Buying-the

the book had good information,kept my attention & was easy reading. I was disappointed that it did not cover what I would consider reschooling of ex-racehorses. It was a good introduction to beginning schooling over jumps for horses that are already trained for riding. The book is geared towards people that have a certain level of knowledge and would not necessarily be good for beginner trainers. I am still going to get Coldrey's first book Breaking and Training the Young Horse. Maybe Buying and Reschooling would have been better if I had read Breaking & Training the Young Horse first.

I bought this book because I thought it would focus more on the special training an ex racehorse needs. This book contained mostly information on general horse training which intermediate to experienced riders/trainers probably already know. The begining of the book was the most interesting part because it gives the history of the thoroughbred breed. But, the rest of this book was pretty disappointing.

I read the book and it was very general. If you knew a lot already you might pick up a few tips, but the book does not have the content needed to teach you how to do this business. Skip this one.

Good guide to buying foreclosed properties but to much generalities. No one seems to share the real secrets in buying foreclosed properties. Need a good book on researching liens.

This book is garbage. It is just thrown together for the publisher and author to make money. It is a very superficial review of cost accounting.

I was pleased with with this book. At the end of each chapter, a demonstration problem is provided with step by step instructions. Also available are template spreadsheet at the Southwestern website which are very helpful in understanding some end of chapter exercises.

According to the joke of a ratings found in this book I would not recommend buying this book. I would have to wonder where this guy really is getting his ratings and information from.
Example the Pontiac Sunfire was rated a 9, but if you look at IIHS crash test reviews this vehcile rates at the bottom with a Poor rating. Now it states on [a website] "Gillis and his team of researchers rate the new models in eight areas: crash safety, fuel economy, repair and maintenance costs, warranties, insurance costs, safety features and complaint history" I would find that a tad confusing as well, if you looked at the crash test alone, but look at other information [on a website]which shows you what the vehicle actually costs to own.
Also in the Minivan list I see the Mercury/Nissan with a rating of 8, but the Toyota Sienna and Honda Odyssey are not noted,...The Sienna & Odyssey are the toprated in about every category in every guide and information I have found... (again check the IIHS, and you will see the top of the ratings for minivans, and the best pick is the Sienna, followed by Odyssey, and at the bottom with the Poor rating is the Mercury/Nissan and the Pontiac/Oldsmobile/Chevrolet!)
I would not trust nor purchase this book, if you do, be sure to check out proven trustworthy information from [other sources], before you trust anything on the pages of this book!

As a huge car buff interested in all types of cars, I was thrilled when I first saw this book on Amazon as a quick reference for all those office debates about cars. The problem is, the book is missing some of the most vital information: horsepower and torque for all available engines, braking distance, 0-60. I realize the book has the potential, then to be twice as thick, but I would rather do away with some of the information in the front for usable information about each of the cars. If you're looking for the "ultimate car guide", stick to the web. I did like the tow ratings for each of the cars, though...

This book contains so much information about telecom systems that i dare not add anything to it. From the history of first telephone to computer telephony, from area code directory to list of system manufacturers' email address, it covers a wide range of topics and terminologies, some briefly and some in depth, that telecommunication managers should at least be familiar with.

However, it reads like an encyclopedia. from its title of "business telecom systems: a guide to choosing the best technologies and services", i expected to learn not only about telecom components but also how these components work together to make up a system and how that system maps to business processes. after all, most readers are not interested in the technology per se, but how the technology helps businesses.

The book is not meant to be read cover to cover. at the same time, it is not to be used as a reference. i also found a few HTML tags in the passages as if they were cut and pasted from a web site. all in all, the information is useful and bountiful. but i felt that those same information could have been better packaged and presented.

I loved the first in the 'On the Road' Series, the entry by Ti Jean, and when the second was published I didn't hesitate in buying it. I was gravely dissapointed. It lacked the spontaneity of Ti Jean's for a start. The only redeeming feature was the recurring character, Remi, who Doyon captured perfectly. I seriously wouldn't bother with this one.

A broad view of vacation homes. Chapters on Colorado, Florida, etc. Not really enough "nuts and bolts." Would be good if you are in early stages of deciding to get a vacation home. A good websurf would probably provide more info.

The print is so small in this paperback book you can hardly read the type. There are no picturs of the items. Half the book is list of antique shops in London and around the UK. He does list the antique fairs but gives no actual dates.
If you are any kind of an antique buff this book is worthless.

The book is published in a binder form and costs $95,- For this money the readers would be entitled to a detailed and practical guide, usable in their work and a source to refer to. Unfortunately the book is quite superficial, too verbose and not even clearly presented. Its major defect is that in fact it says very little about contract administration itself, that is the work the contract administrator does after the contract is signed and until it is completed. There is very little on how to deal with the other contractual party, what problems occur and how to handle them. There are some parts which are clearly irritating, for instance : Part 10. Title: What is a claim? The author says : "Some think this, other think that. In fact there are many types of claims", and does not answer the question he himself asks in the title.

Definitely not value for money.

This book is basically an infomercial for TradeOut.com. It does have some useful information, but you are none-too-gently steered in the direction of selling your surplus assets on TradeOut's web site.

That's great if you don't want to think about it, but TradeOut has lots of competition, and some of it is just plain better, especially for technology assets.

Oh, yeah, you can get the book for free if you register on TradeOut's site.
