| 1061. Beginner to Pro | |
|
by: Stephen Mead Amazon.com's Price: $14.95 Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description This is a great book to have and easy to understand. I used his basic strategy for online gambling. I used a combination of "Lose Press" and "Win Press" betting which I learned from this book. Of course you can't count cards online but I didn't need to. The 1st time I gambled online I doubled my money from $1,000.00 to $2,000.00. The 2nd time I played I started with a thousand dollars and was up to $1,700.00. Then I got to confident and lost the money with a total of only $700.00. I lost ...

| 1062. The Animator's Workbook | |
|
by: Tony White List Price: $18.95 Amazon.com's Price: $13.27 You Save: $5.68 (30%) Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description If you are an aspiring animator you have probably squeezed all you can out of Preston Blair. If "Illusion of Life" is too expensive or too heavy for you to lift, this is the book for you. One thing all three of these animation books have in common is they include pretty much everything you need to know about the fundamentals of animation. While all three books are excellent Tony White's may be the best balance of content and being a beautiful book to look at. The content contains the principals and industry ...

| 1063. The New Yorker Book of Golf Cartoons (New Yorker Book of Cartoons) | |
|
by: Robert Mankoff List Price: $21.95 Amazon.com's Price: $15.37 You Save: $6.58 (30%) Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description This book only lacks a knowledgeable introduction by a humorist, top golfer or pro, or cartoonist to make it a five-star offering. To me, the best humor is one that captures the reality of how the viewer perceives life. In the case of The New Yorker Book of Golf Cartoons, every golfer will recognize her- or himself . . . and members of past foursomes. Unlike most sports cartoons, these wonderful offerings provide both female and male perspectives as players. There's still the battle of the ... Read More Read Reviews and Description

|
by: Gary Larson List Price: $14.95 Amazon.com's Price: $10.47 You Save: $4.48 (30%) Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description Larsen is the world's greatest cartoonist. Too bad he retired. I have envelopes filled with his cartoons clipped out of the newspaper (10+ years ago!) that I still can't bear to throw away. So I suppose this book was a good idea. It will take up less space than several bulging envelopes. For younger people who can't remember his cartoons in the paper every day, you need to hurry up and start collecting his books so you can always be within arm's length of a smile or a laugh. Also, I love the story ... Read More Read Reviews and Description

| 1065. Mr. S : My Life with Frank Sinatra | |

by: George Jacobs, William Stadiem List Price: $24.95 Amazon.com's Price: $16.97 You Save: $7.98 (32%) Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description People magazine gave this book a weak review and I cannot for the life of me figure out why. Mr. Jacob's book painted such a vivid picture of "Mr. S" I feel like I know him personally. Plus if anyone is enamored with old Hollywood, this book names people and places which makes it even more fascinating. I could not wait to get back to these pages each day. And as other reviewers said, its amazing how George Jacobs still speaks of Frank Sinantra with such affection, yet telling these stories as they were, whether it was flattering ...

| 1066. How to Play a Bridge Hand | |
|
by: William S. Root List Price: $16.00 Amazon.com's Price: $11.20 You Save: $4.80 (30%) Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description As one who considers himself in the upper novice category of bridge playing, I find this book to be a great tool to learn various techniques for playing bridge hands. There is no bidding in the examples unless it is required for play decisions. There is also no discussion of defense. The book has 12 chapters which each feature an 8 hand quiz at the end. The quiz hands usually focus on the concept covered in the chapter, but also branch out into ideas covered in previous chapters. Basic techniques such as trump play, entries, end plays, ...

by: Bathroom Readers' Institute List Price: $16.95 Amazon.com's Price: $11.87 You Save: $5.08 (30%) Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description Normally, I wouldn't think of buying this kind of book, but it's been a GREAT addition to our bathroom; we love it! What I love about this bathroom reader book is that all the passages are good, readible sizes, nothing's too long that you have to continue reading it in another sitting (ha-ha). :-) There are some informative sections and some funnies, and interesting quotes. It's a sizeable book that contains many things you'd normally not hear about - the CIA and LSD experimentations (dates back to the Nazi's), people famous for being naked ...

Customer Reviews and Description This book has a great many scenes and monologues, and nearly anyone can find one that works for them. While some of the plays that are excerpted are a bit obscure, I found this to be only a minor setback, thanks to the magic of online book purchasing. Read Reviews and Description

| 1069. AINSLIE'S COMPLETE GUIDE TO THOROUGHBRED RACING | |
|
by: Tom Ainslie List Price: $14.00 Amazon.com's Price: $11.20 You Save: $2.80 (20%) Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description The best handicapping book I've read. The beauty is the organization, how Ainsle teaches you a systematic, organized method. There's a lot of leeway for putting your own system together, but it's the mindset, the step by step way he approaches things that's so valuable. I haven't seen that anywhere. Most books teach you things of value, but not how to step by step go through the past performances, decide if the distance is right for this horse, figure out if the horse is in condition, in the right class etc. After reading this book I can actually ...

| 1070. 'It Was a Dark and Stormy Night, Snoopy' | |
|
by: CHARLES M. SCHULZ List Price: $11.95 Amazon.com's Price: $9.56 You Save: $2.39 (20%) Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description Ok, for some reason, possibly by the title, cover, and back description, I got the idea this book was going to be all about Snoopy's attempts at the great American novel. Though there are a couple such strips, it is the entire 1995 year. But that ultimately didn't matter. Full of the usual humor only Schulz could think of, there's the strips that make you laugh lighty, some that make you howl (Conrad, get his beak pierced?), but always make you smile. Good compilation, as usual, and worth the purchase if you're a fan of the strip. Can't ... Read More Read Reviews and Description
