Back cover reads:
JUST MARRIED!
VERONICA DALTON AND ADAM SMITH, AFTER A SHORT ENGAGEMENT...
Sparks sizzled from the moment beautiful computer whiz Roni Dalton laid eyes on Adam Smith. But a year after their initial meeting, one torrid night of passion together left them with more than they bargained for: a marriage license!
DID THE DEVIL MAKE HIM DO IT?
Feeling honor-bound to his new bride, the FBI agent agreed to commit himself to his wife, at least temporarily. But Roni couldn't just settle for the marriage of convenience her husband demanded. She had to convince Adam that her love was worth the ultimate gift--his heart.

Great book for enhancement of Buddhist knowledge as well as those who are on the path to enlightenment. One con: Master Lu gets a bit too detailed on the complicated (higher) aspects of Buddhist knowledge occasionally and when he does this it is difficult to follow and understand. Most of what he writes however, is quite easy to follow and the stories of his experiences are wonderful. There's nobody else like Grand Master Lu! Om mani padme hum!

This review refers to the "Die Hard Trilogy" Letterbox Edition VHS Boxed Set by 20th Century Fox(1996)....

Although you may have found yourself in the book section of Amazon products, this beautifully packaged set of the "Die Hard Trilogy" are definately VHS and not books. The ISBN is 079390532x on the package as it is here on the product page.
Hard as I have tried to call Amazon's attention to this error (I've been a real "Die Hard" at it), I have had no response to the correction forms I have been submitting. Maybe someone there will read this review and make the correction, so that fans of this exciting trilogy will know this set is out there.

This set is not an oridinary looking boxed set with an outer box that will fall apart eventually. The tapes each in their own VHS slip case, are packaged in a beautiful slim, flatter, and sturdy black box, with the tapes laying side by side. The raised letter "Die Hard" trilogy logo and a picture of John McClane (Bruce Willis)are on a silver background. The films are letterboxed and in Hi-Fi stereo. Although these are films we watch several times a year(and we always include the first and second in our Christmas movies), they have held up remarkably well over the years and are some of the better quality(in all respects) VHS I still own. I'm sure they don't compare to DVD(especially in the sound department), but I'm holding on to my boxed set, and I think any die hard fan of "Die Hard" might want to grab this up as a collector's item.

Looks as though they are out of print, but if you are interested in this item, keep it on your wish list and keep checking on it, maybe an outside seller will list one. I have seen them before. Also, I would check with the seller to make sure this is the set they are sellling.

Do I need to describe the films themselves???...Nahhh..Everybody knows already we wouldn't even be here if John McClane hadn't saved the world for us(3 times!)

"Come Out To the Coast...We'll Get Together...Have A Few Laughs...".....Laurie

The seller had the book to me within a week, really good service, I would definately recommend them to anyone.

I cannot believe that this brilliant book was permitted to go out of print, containing as it does not only all of Chaucer's Canterbury Tales in verse, but also a generous selection of Chaucer's earlier poetry, under the perhaps unfortunate title of "Minor Poems," together with his probable masterpiece, Troilus & Criseyde, and also, especially, Donaldson's brilliant, pellucid commentary on the works. It should also be noted that the poetry is presented in an uncrowded format, in a single column across the page, rather than with two columns, and has very handy fotnotes for further ease in reading, along with, of course the standardized spelling which makes this a very easy-to-read introduction to the poetry of Geoffrey Chaucer by a major scholar and critic. I hope it will soon come back into print again; it is a wonderful book.

This is a wonderful, witty play that deserves to be brought back in print immediately. Quite different from the recent romantic Elizabeths in _Elizabeth_ (directed by Shekar Kapur) and _Shakespeare in Love_ (directed by John Madden) ELizabeth I here appears in male drag throughout the play. (The play is subtitled "almost by chance a woman.") Represented as a grotesque figure, Elizabeth regularly goes out in London disguised as a man in order to spy on her subjects. Written in the early 1980s, the play is a Jean Genetesque satire directed at Margaret Thatcher and her Tory government. It is one of many instances wherein Elizabeth is represented in drag. In a 1980s management training video, John Cleese played a Thatcherian Elizabeth hectoring a restive Privy Council. And the last episode of The British sit-com _Blackadder II_ (Miranada Richardson of _The Crying Game_ fame plays Quen Besie), a Prince Ludwig masquerades as Elizabeth and kills the entire court. More recently, Labame houston's playlet _Elizabeth R_ also has Elizbeth in drag. And in Sally Potter's _Orlando_, an ageing Elizabeth is played by the famous drag queen Quentin Crisp. Perhaps Fo's play is not so far away from _Elizabeth_ and _Shakespeare in Love_ as one might think at first sight. For though she does not appear in these films in male drag, Elizabeth is the cause of drag in others. In _Elizabeth_, Anjou's marriage proposal is dismissed after Elizabeth discovers him relaxing in bed dressed in women's clothes, and in _Shakespeare in Love_, only Elizabeth can see through the corss-dressed disguises of both Shakespeare and Viola. Fo's _Elizabeth: Almost by Chance a Woman_ deserves a wide readership. I certainly hope to see in print again soon.

Be aware that this book goes hand-in-hand with the "Enhanced A+ Guide to Managing and Maintaining Your PC" (ISBN 0-619-03433-5). Don't let the slenderness of this Pocket guide fool you. I've heard it being said about computer books, that "their girth is inversely proportionate to their worth". Very true in this case.

Ms Andrews takes on a remarkably fresh approach, making this book a practical guidance tool for the I. T. Toolperson. For the Trainee, it's a hands-on "tool" likely to retain it's usefulness even after having qualified.

Here are a few of its features:

(1) A six page appendix of important web sites (demonstrating the writer's initiative to help the Technician stay current)

(2) Examples of record keeping forms a technician is likely to deal with on the job

(3) Flowcharts to enhance and speed up understanding, and also to get a new technician into the routine of methodical performance of duties.

(4) An approach to tutoring & guidance that makes *Symptoms* the focal point of instruction

(5) Clearly set out tables with meticulous coverage of error messages and beep codes

But be advised: this Guide isn't meant to be used alone. At least not before properly covering the main text book, (or an equivalent textbook, or having gained equivalent knowledge elsewhere). It relies on frequent references to the main text (which the keen trainee would have studied before depending too much on this Pocket Guide). Such references are meant merely to point the way and to jolt the memory of an already somewhat trained PC Hardware person.

Not just a 5 star book, but a 5 star tool to add to your toolkit!

And, oh, a big *thank you* to Jean Andrews (and "Course Technology") for what must've been a quite an effort for a tiny book!

There's just nothing exciting about case books -- but you have to have them in law school. Amazon had a good price on it.

Carol Numrich has prepared a wonderful listening textbook that centers on the real-world news content supplied by National Public Radio's All Things Considered. It is appropriate for high school, college, and adult students and integrates reading, conversation, vocabulary, grammar, note-taking, and critical thinking skills into lessons that are focused on listening. Longman's excellent reputation in ESL publication and National Public Radio's award-winning program make this a quality resource, along with accompanying audio files, for intermediate to advanced students.

The book is divided into 12 units, each of which centers on a short audio piece. The unit begins with predicting and vocabulary exercises. Then students listen to the piece several times with specific questions or points related to the content to evaluate as they listen. Follow-up exercises include individual and group activities that focus on grammar concepts, conversation skills, and related writing. A transcript and answer key are provided in the back of the book.

I want to comment the book to every readers . It is very very worth to read!
