Going-private

An excellent guide for entrepreneurs who are considering IPO or Acquisition as an exit strategy. The interviews with entrepreneurs who have "been through it" are extremely helpful.

this publication is an indespensible guide to helping parents focus on the high school years that provide the foundation for college choices based on the interest of their children. It offers a step by step 'checklist' for helping to determine your childs interest, methods for applying to high schools as well as information for obtaining financial aid for private high schools. If your childs future is important to you, this reference book is worth the couple of bucks!

Chloe Green is the pseudonym for one Suzanne Frank, authoress of a series of time-travel romance/suspense books, none of which I have read. Her debut mystery, Going Out in Style, is about as far away as one can get from time travel and ancient civilizations.

Anyway, Going Out concerns Dallas O'Connor, a local set designer who arranges and designs sets for catalog fashion shoots and similar projects; that is, Dallas would normally be doing these things if she were not in hiding. See, when she reports early to work one morning she happens upon the lifeless body of an up-and-coming model, not to mention the very life-filled body of a hunky Cuban artist named Raul who is holding the murder weapon. Sometimes the early bird gets more than the worm, sometimes she gets accused of wielding the knife herself for the final cut. Raul, naturally, asserts his own innocence as well, and Dallas is reluctantly made his partner in crime investigation. So, she blends into the city for which she was named, sneaking around to colleagues and friends conducting her own investigation in order to clear her name. It's not as easy as it sounds, however, as it seems somebody is usually one step ahead of her, planting traps and staging other crimes that have the police thinking Dallas is on some sort of spree, and Dallas must work quickly before she finds herself fashionably late to her own funeral.

Going Out is a nice, enjoyable read with moments of mirth and lunacy (particularly when Dallas and Raul are hashing out their plans and options); Dallas especially is likeable as a harried heroine who knows her priorities and still feels justified in bending the rules (it's not everyday somebody accepts a date with a stranger in a fancy restaurant when she's supposed to be running for her life). I suppose I also like this story because of its originality, since I do not recall having read a Texas-set mystery in years, much less anything with the fashion industry as a backdrop. If Suzanne/Chloe can tear herself away from her romances, I think she can continue to keep the Dallas O'Connor series in fashion.

Smart, fast paced, exciting, sexy and funny. Not funny because she tells jokes, but funny because of the heroine's outlook on life. She knows Dallas, Texas people and fashion industry folks to a 'T'. A real page-turner that you won't be able to put down.

Chloe Green, a welcome newcomer to the genre, has launched her mystery career with an intriguing, suspenseful package of dangerous fun. GOING OUT IN STYLE grabs you on page one and keeps you reading way into the night. This is a clever, well-written, fast-paced novel. Kudos to Chloe!

While there are some useful tidbits of advice, unfortunately more than half of the book is devoted to creating the school as a device for the promotion of a very narrow fundamentalist ideology. At least 90% of Christians would not be comfortable with the authors' views. While this is fine for that limited audience, some mention should be made in terms of a subtitle etc. that the book is primarily about a very specific kind of Christian school.

This kit was very helpful to our school. As with the textbook, it has saved us hundreds of hours of work in establishing our school. We feel that we have a better school because of this resource Kit. We found the price to be very reasonable given the amount of information contained in the kit. It is important to purchase the book along with the kit.

I agree with the authors. This book has saved us hundreds of hours in establishing our new Christian school. The ten step approach is not only good for new schools but for schools that have already been established. All of the suggests are very helpful for any church or parent organization interested in strengthening their private school program. I would highly recommend it to all parents, teachers, pastors and administrators.

This text is adequate for the first time reader, but it is not as good as "Going Public" by Arkebauer and Shultz (I've used both for teaching). This is written in a style that is a little more terse and dry than the other and does not quite have the detail of information. This book, though, does have a good explanation of current SEC rules.

Looks like the effective date of the info is 1993 from a legal disclaimer in the begining of the book. For the price, this book packs a lot of good information on the IPO process. It thoroughly covers the ins and outs of IPO, SEC regulations, investment bankers, underwriting, etc. Gives a lot of good info regarding the advantages and disadvantages of going public. Lots of reference to the hot bio stocks of the late '80 (Genentech). Nice coverage of the Microsoft IPO. Good reference source for choosing underwriters, but probably needs updating. Would be great if this book could be updated to reflect the current .com IPO era.
