Market-prices

A very ambitious story in that it tackles a sticky, sort of unknown time in history - 1700's Florida back when it was a ping-pong game between England and Spain over who ruled the territory. That's not the interesting part though. The best part of this book is the character of Maria, or Mary, once the resident of what is now known as St. Augustine's Oldest House. Maria is an intelligent, resourceful, very beautiful woman who is very far ahead of her time. She comes through tragic loss and grief but somehow (you often wonder how) she is back up again, alive and battering life's doors once more. Read the book to know her if nothing else. A few love stories are intertwined as well. Well worth it. The first Price book I ever read and today I've read nearly all.

I couldn't put this book down. After visiting St. Augustine, then reading the book, I was truly walking the streets with Maria. I saw the same building she did and have the same awe for the town as she did. I read this book in two day...I couldn't put it down. Looking for the other two books in the trilogy. Can someone help.

Eugenia Price combined her outstanding writing skills with meticulous research and attention to detail. This was my first introduction to her work -- no one can surpass her mastery of historical fiction. Her work helped me to introduce History as a living thing to my own children.

From this book,I can have interest in Market psychology.And I get to learn more about this. Please let me know about the seminar held by Tony Plummer !

This book is not (only) about how markets work, technical analysis, market and individual psychology, and trading systems - rather, it's a book about how you integrate all of that into a coherent philosophy. As another reviewer points out, this is not the best book if you want to get into the details of various trading systems and methods. However, it contains true originality when it comes to understanding market dynamics, and the psychology of the trader. For that it's well worth its five stars. In addition, it gives you something uncommon - a personal statement from not just a trader, but great intellect and spirit in love with the markets.

Tony Plummer's recent visit to New York and his speech at the Princeton Club had prompted me to reread his book. In his quiet, understated, very British way, but with a tremendous clarity and style this professional money manager reveals mass psychology is behind market moves. If the markets drive you crazy with their seemingly irrational swings, read this book to see the logic behind disorder. Tony Plummer illuminates market movements for you in a way that will impact your understanding for as long as you trade. Then he shares some of his analytic techniques. This book belongs on the desk of every serious technical analyst and trader!

Very seldom do you find a technical book that is interesting to read. I found this book to be not only understandable to people of the profession but also to people who know very little about investing and the way the market works. The author achieved this through an ease of writing with explanations understandable to everyone and actually fun to read. I highly recommend this to anyone interested in learning more about market.

This book by Michael McDonald is an excellent one for obtaining an insight into the workings of the sometimes confusing stock market. His method of presentation makes it understandable, especially for the average non professional investor like myself.

How many people who invest in bonds really know how they are priced, or what fair value of stocks is, or how lump sum pensions are calculated? This information alone, based on stacking the money theory, is worth the price of the book.

His analysis of market timing versus buy and hold is a must read, plus learning about the Elliot wave theory and how to use it, along with contrary opinion, and if the market is in a trading range, gives you valuable tools to use in guiding your investment decisions.

Anyone new to the market, as well as serious investors who have been in the market for sometime, should have this book in their library to take advantage of McDonald's expertise and experience.

I found Mr. McDonald's work to be extremely interesting. As an investment professional, I can appreciate the considerable skill and erudition the author brings to bear as well as the straightforward, admirably lucid quality of his writing.
The author presents a remarkably attractive thesis and fully articulates it, making what could otherwise be an obtuse economic postulate a functional, successful model for avoiding the pitfalls of investing.
Above all, Mr. McDonald convinces the reader that financial markets are not governed by random, chance factors, but rather can be made profitable to investors if they can master the scientific principles that drive it. It is to the author's credit that these principles are explained with such skill as to make them understandable to the widest possible audience.
I cannot praise the book too highly, and I look forward to future works by Mr. McDonald.

Very fast and very entertaining, this is a love story that develops very slowly but keeps the reader wanting to turn the page in hopes of things working out. Based on the factual sinking of the ship "Pulaski" which took the lives of some Savannah residents, Price sets Natalie Browning, daughter of "Savannah"'s Mark, on a crash course with destiny and some lessons in survival that are pretty interesting. However, the characters could be more believable. Natalie's flawless, flame-haired beauty is a little too often commented on and a little too hard to really digest, especially with the fact that she is, of course, a spoiled brat, an idea which is hardly new in literature. Her counterpart, Burke Latimer, is this golden Adonis whose dashing good looks are a little wooden as well, and his teasing of the bitchy Natalie smacks too much of something Margaret Mitchell has already done. Aside from that, though, congratulations again to Eugenia Price for creating engaging fiction from factual events.

This book was very fun to read. It kept you interested the whole time. I read this huge book in about two weeks because i couldn't stand not to miss a day reading it. It also made you want to read the next in the series which I am trying to figure out what its called. Eugenia Price did a wonderful job.

This book is so wonderful. I have read the entire quartet. Also I have read the st. Simon's group. Do you gave a list of any other books she wrote? If so Email me at gmklipa@webtv.net. Her books read like personal diaries and you feel they are happening to real people and what the people of that period were really thinking. I was hoping to find out that she had written something else after the quartet and was disappointed to find out on your web site that she had died.

In this exiting book. Hal and Roger explore volcanos with Dr. Dan. When they find out he is half crazy they think that could only add to there danger.

Volcano Adventure is an excellent book by Willard Price, who combines adventure and fiction with true facts to create a superb book about Hal and Roger, 14 and 19, who go exploring volcanoes around the Pacific rim. This is the fourth book of the fourteen in the adventure series by Willard Price.

This is a great book along with the rest of the Adventure book series by Willard Price. Although these book are educational, they are also very interesting, great, suspenseful, and have excellent characters! I encourage everyone to read these books and to order them from amazon.com!

I found the information in this flea market guide to be very helpful in calculating the value of many every day items that you find at flea markets and garage sales. The broad content covering many items made it easy to look up items that I couldn't find in other similar price guide books.

I was very satisfied with the book and prefer it over some other well known antique and flea market price guide books that I have purchased before. It makes an excellent source to refer to when attempting to figure out the worth of an item that can't be found in some of the other guides.

The guide offer a variety of catagories and is certainly a book I would recommend for anyone researching flea market and related items. There is a wealth of good information in the book.

Oh boy guys, this is a great one! It is a MUST have for any
serious Flea Marketer, especially members of The Fleamarketsellers Community.
Sincerely,

This is the story of the man who built and kept the St. Simon's Light and of his love for a wealthy young lady. James Gould is sort of an everyday Joe who ends up carving a lasting life in coastal Georgia. Gould's story is intertwined not only with St Simons and Georgia but with the post revolutionary United States. The scene in the book in which the lighting of the lighthouse is celebrated is one that I still remember, and it's been years. Price's older works are better and this is one of them.

What a wonderful book ! Not only you learn the history and feelings of the times when slaves were around and how things were, but you can understand and feeling the feelings of the characters ! This is a novel for ages 13 and up !

I found this to be an excellent book on forecasting financial markets. There is a very readable explanation about how to use forecasts for asset allocation and how some famous Wall Street analysts do their forecasting. I enjoyed this book and found it well written. This book is probably best for intermediate to expert financial people, however.

This book explained in plain English how to model financial markets using common forecasting tools. I was especially interested in the thorough review of how data can be used and misused to create a forecast. This is important because it is directly related to the reliability of a forecast, which was also discussed in depth. There also an easy-to-understand explanation of modern portfolio theory, as well as a review of the approaches of three other Wall Street practioners. Altogether an excellent book.

This is not a good book - the characters are cardboard cutouts and the dialouge is lame. It's much worse than it's average rating reflects.

I normally stay away from non-fiction authors who write fiction because their fiction usually is rarely as good as their non-fiction (the Late Carl Sagan comes to mind.) However, I made an exception for David Hackworth's first novel.

This exception was well worth it. I enjoyed the book as a good, well done read. The plot about the Military Industrial Complex (MIC) and greed is well thought out. I had a problem with some of the climax because some of it turned into stuff from a really bad conspiracy movie. This is a good solid adventure to be enjoyed.

Finally, I would like to make a comment about Hackworth being an SF groupie. That's total BS. He led the equivalent of a Ranger unit in Korea, and his actions in Vietnam from My Canh to his quest to improve small unit training showed that he walked the walk. I really believe that he respects those who live, not speak, the warrior spirit. And if they happen to be SF types, so be it.

Every military officer who is stationed at the Pentagon or going to be stationed at the Pentagon must read this book. David Hackworth presents the reader with an exciting and sobering view of the weapons acquisition process "inside the Beltway." Hack is able to blend his considerable military experience, forged through three wars, with his incredible feats as a "front-line journalist" to give the reader a realistic view of how America fights its wars and the power struggles behind the weapon systems America uses. Hack takes the reader on a journey to the places he himself has been and allows the reader to feel the raw terror of being at a Special Forces Firebase being overrun by North Vietnamese; being on the ground, outgunned and out-generaled in Somalia; trying to figure out who is the worst of two evils in Bosnia; and fighting the funding battles inside the Pentagon. Hack is able to do this with incredible realism, because he has been to all those places and done all those things. Hack makes the reader part of the plot. He draws you in and makes you love and/or hate the principal characters. This is one of those books, you do not want to end. If you want to find out what life is like behind the scenes in the weapons systems acquisition business, read this book. If you want a snapshot of what Vietnam was like, read this book. If you want see what Somalia and Bosnia looked like during the latter part of the last Century, read this book. If you are a military officer, fighting the endless budgetary wars within the Pentagon, read this book.

This book has it all...action, sex, politics and mystery. Well written and accurately presented. This is a good book. Read It.

I gave this book four stars because it was good overall it was just a little long in some places. I think that this was a good end for Nick or should I say John. Before reading this book I was worried that the characters might change a little like some authors tend to do in series books. But, the characters did stay true. But, Lottie is a great match for Nick. Unlike some romance books these two deserve each other. I recommend this book because Lisa Kleypas brings her best as usual.

This book is a trademark of Kleypas's writing. It is steamy, passsionate and has a hero that would make any woman tingle. He is also a character unlike any other. There is so much more to write about him but giving that away would ruin the book. Simply, he is not what he seems.
This is the sequel to Lady Sophia's Lover and if you read that book, you know what is in store.
This story is about Nick Gentry, brother of the heroine from Lady Sophia's Lover and former thief turned straight man, working for the Bow Runners.
Nick's latest job is to find Charlotte Howard, who is hiding from her fiance and family. She has been missing for two years because the though of marrying a man her parents' forced her to turns her stomach.
When Nick finds hers, he realizes she is the one for him and won't let her go. He must have her to redeem his soul, which he lost years ago. But first both must learn to trust each other and be willing to give and receive.
Nick is the main focus of this story and from the first page you will be amazed by him. There are so many secrets about him and he is a Kleypas trademark hero. He is brooding, alpha but with a touch of vulnerability. And Charlotte is his equal half that shows him what it is to love.
And the love scenes are STEAMY, HOT and too good for words.
This book shows what a true talent Kleypas is.
Also recommended along the same lines is Suddenly You and Lady Sophia's Lover. If steamy and passionate stories are your thing, pick up all three of these books.

This book was so worth the price to buy it and absorb this story right into your soul - Lisa Kleypas does that for me - and this, as in all her novels, left me in awe! It is the sequel to 'Lady Sophia's Lover'as our very sexy and accomplished lover/hero is Sophia's brother Nick Gentry. In that prequel, Nick was the scourge of the bow-street runners, and at the end of that story, Nick had been blackmailed by his sister Sophia's husband Sir Ross Cannon to work for and become a bow street runner himself. Please note here that just for the record, even if you have not read the prequel - this book stands quite well on it's own. As would happen with the runners, they would sometimes take on private investigations and so Nick was on the trail of a run away bride who had been missing for two years. Naturally, being the best at what he does, he finds the beautiful Charlotte Howard but being so totally attracted to her and sensing her terror at being sent back she is given three choices, one of which is marrying Nick! Being a bright girl, and also feeling the attraction she marries this very complex, and handsome man!

This book is HOT - STEAMY - and absolutely, deliciously SENSUAL and should come with a warning to not start it at night as you will not be able to put it down. The very complexity of who Nick is and what make him tick is amazing and you will get this from the very first pages. The plot is relatively simple and not a great mystery - but it is still quite an amazing read! I highly recommend this book to buy and be placed on your keeper shelf with - if you are a Lisa Kleypas fan - all of the rest of her books!
