This lovely little book is the perfect gift for friends, family, and yourself. The authors combine words and pictures with wit and wisdom, and the artful felines embody sensuality and fun. Keep this book nearby to lift the spirits when feeling blue.

My husband and I received this book as a gift, and are inspired to order copies for people we know who will be touched and amused by it. The topic is romance but the message is love. It was easy to award it five purrs--I mean stars.

This book is for all those romantics in the world. It says everything about love and relationships, and in such a beautiful way.

This gift was the perfect mix of adorable, tasteful, artistic, and reasonable price. I gave this book to my girlfriend, and it has been a huge hit! These cats are the cutest little creatures (and I am usually a dog person!) and the subtitles for the pictures are classics. I've seen Lisa Roy Sachs photography at shows in New York, and she is the real deal.

I had every intention of majoring in accounting when I started college. This was the textbook used in my first two accounting classes, and I was quite pleased. The book is incredibly user-friendly. It reads like a regular book, and doesn't just beat you over the head with facts as most textbooks do. However, this doesn't mean it is all fluff. The information presented is clear and concise. As you read the book even gives real world applications of "Accounting in Action", applicable to the material in the chapter. Some of these examples are fascinating.

Here's how much I like this book... I am taking a cost accounting class now and when I get confused by something in that book I refer to the last chapter in Accounting Principles, which is Managerial Accounting. And more often than not I get a better explanation.

An Excellent text to complement the teaching of financial accounting fundamentals. Reccomended on a 100%.

Wow, what a difference this book has made in my hectic life. I just had twins and "Fowler's Spending" really helped me to get on track financially. Thanks so much Mr. Fowler.

I bought the book in March and have used it almost every day. The genius of the book is its simplicity.

Life and Death on the Internet is the most informative book I've read on Internet safety. This book starts out explaining a few simple facts about the Internet and then gets serious with solutions to privacy issues every Internet uses faces, especially parents. Many helpful ideas were presented in an easy to follow format. The only concern I had with this book is that the author put an Appendix in the book listing all the free and anonymous pornographic newsgroups, including child pornography, bestiality, bondage, torture, cheerleaders (which many times include kids), and homosexuality. I understand why he needed to do that. I just feel that some may buy the book to view pornography and that is not the purpose of the book.

Overall I rate this book 5 stars. This book does not just outline the problems, but provides solutions to protect your family from Internet indecencies and protect your privacy.

After reading Life and Death on the Internet I put some of the recommendations outlined in the book. I figured it would be mildly interesting until I found out my fourteen year old son was in contact with another woman online. Pornographic pictures were sent to my son. I turned this over to the police. It turns out that the woman was really a man with a criminal histroy of molesting buys. My family has been saved. The guy who did this still has to stand trial but he is behind bars. I just pray he is convicted.

If you have children buy and read this book. I never believed that this could happen to me. I was just curious and got an eye opening experience. Use the material in this book. It could save your child's life.

Fin de siecle is one of those fascinating topics in literary and cultural studies. However, it is, just like postmodernism, a very hard concept to precise. Ledger and Luckhurst help to solve this problem thanks to a complete selection of texts that represent 13 cultural phenomena of the time. Probably the text would require some accompanying texts if the reader is not familiar with the topic, but it offers to the more especialized reader a very complete reference to those texts that are fundamental to understand the time but do not appear on the literary canons. A must for anyone interested in the end of the nineteenth century.

This book is just great. It was the first book I had read about accounting and it helped me a lot. If anyone wants to learn about accounting, that person should pick this book. It's easy to read and very informative.

Hull's language is at once lyrical and urban, weaving imagery and rhythm together so that the reader is lulled and then shaken by spell and reality. Her long lines go straight to the heart and mind like spikes of honeyed iron. Rich, dark and ultimately fufilled, Hull's last poem in the book, "Black Mare," is the kind of poem one reads again and again and then once more, aloud. Hers is the kind of poetry that makes others wonder why they bother writing at all.

Again, the graphics are outdated, but you get your money's worth with this purchase. Works with the Accounting textbooks written by Warren, Reeve, and Fess.

This book is terrible! It gives different definitions for the same term several times in the first few chapters. Why doesn't it just give one coherent, comprehensive definition for each word?!! The concepts are broken up and presented helter-skelter, so reading this book is like working a tedious jigsaw puzzle. Then it includes lots of problems at the end of each chapter, but there is no answer key, and the Solutions Manual is only available to teachers. Do they think that my professor is too lazy or too stupid to make up his own tests? (Hint to oblivious writers/editors: a textbook is useless if students cannot practice working problems and check the answers on their own. This is not third grade, and my professor is not a babysitter!) I bought the workbook (which contains practice tests) separately, but I still don't have the answers to the problems at the end of the chapters. I will speak to the department heads at my college and beg them to switch publishers next semester.

This book is required of my Financial Accounting course and it is a great choice. The book displays many colorful illustrations and is pretty clear in the messages that it attempts to explain. This book will definitely help you to get an A in your class...or at least pass! The only flaw that I see is that it does not give many answers to the exercises and problems in the chapters. Otherwise, it is pretty good.

I used this book for my very first Accounting course and it was great. The author uses up to date info and really caters to a first year student such as myself. I can only hope that all of my Accounting books will be like this one.

The hardcover version of this book that I received was unacceptable. Peppered throughout the text of the five stories were the original illustrations. This would have been lovely if not for the fact that each illustration page also contained text from the original edition. This text was in a different typeface and format and did not match up in any way with the text of the story. The text on these pages was completely random ... in some cases starting and ending mid-sentence.

The stories, of course, are classic Dickens and wonderful. But I found this printing defect so outrageous that I was unable to give the book as a gift, as I had intended. In fact, I returned it.

Dickens' Christmas Books might be some of his most overlooked works, except for, of course, "A Christmas Carol." But in these stories he has captured the season's spirits of reflection and faith better than any other work I've read. "A Christmas Carol" is an acknowledged masterpiece; "The Chimes" and "The Battle of Life" are particularly moving as well. Four of these five stories bring me to tears by their ends.

I started in 1991 to read one story per year in the published sequence, (for Christmas 2000, I'm reading The Haunted Man again) and this has made December and its holidays more enjoyable and meaningful for me. I hope to continue the cycle and look forward to reading "this year's Christmas story" aloud to my family as my kids grow up.

Oxford Press/World's Classics publishes excellent quality paperbacks, and they do justice here to Dickens' powerful works. I highly recommend this work (and especially this publisher) to anyone; if you're looking for "A Christmas Carol", get this volume of all the Christmas Stories and enjoy even more of Dickens' masterful ability to weave the human condition into such moving short stories.
