When this project was first announced it sounded very cool with its promises of princes thoughts,feelings,scribblings etc, unfortunately what written text there is happens to be reproduced song lyrics.i was hoping for a diary type breakdown of his day by day thoughts on the gigs and the london experience in general,something more personal to him.
There are only actually a handful of live gig pics in the whole book, the rest being made up of staged art exhibition pieces.i was expecting a more raw portrayal of the gigs themselves as overall i dont feel the book necessarily represents the o2 experience...more of a show off for the Dorchester hotel.
Saying that it's saving grace is the cd included which could have commanded the asking ... Read More:

.The Black Swan: The Impact of the Highly Improbable

The Black Swan: The Impact of the Highly Improbable
A highly disappointing text from an erudite and capable author. The book is fallacious, mislaeding and mischievious. The abuse of simple statistical distributions alone warrants not taking it seriously. It is oversold by the blurb and does not do what it says on the cover. Extremely disappointing.

I have recommended this book to everyone. It's full of good advice for different weaning stages. And I cook the 9months + recipes for my husband...he always says how nice they are and then I tell them that the meal was designed for a 12 month old!! Lovely food for babies, toddlers, and adults.

.Exploring Corporate Strategy: Text and Cases
City Travel Guides > Books > Subjects
by: Gerry Johnson, Kevan Scholes, Richard Whittington

December 18, 2007
I ordered this book as part of my Masters in Business Administration course. The book is neatly structured, mainly separating subjects in three main parts: Strategic Positioning, Strategic Choices and Strategy in Action.

I also found the case studies presented in this book to be of great help when studying for the Business Environment module of my MBA. A matrix table presents a guide for each case study in the book and what are their main focus. For example, if you want a case study that focus on Porter's five forces, then read the TUI case study on page 619, and so on.

The book also comes with an "student access kit" to access further content online, and claims that users would have access to more than 30 "classic case studies" within ... Read More:

."Top Gear": 2009 Annual ("Top Gear")

This book is fantastic! My son watches Top Gear with me all the time and when he saw the book advertised on amazon, he begged me to buy it for him and he certainly wasn't disappointed. It is packed with information and fun things to do. It will keep him amused for hours. There aren't really any books for children with an interest in cars, so this was a great buy and fantastic value

I was at a friends and flicked through this book and began to drool! I scribbled down two recipes that night which I recreated that week. They were fantastic and I bought the book. Every single recipe screams 'Try me, you'll love me!' and I do.

.Boy in the Striped Pyjamas
City Travel Guides > Books > Subjects
by: John Boyne

February 01, 2007
lent this book to my daughter before I read it by which time I had seen the film. The film was moving and believeable - up to a point. Why his parents took so little interest in Bruno's coming and goings and why the maid takes little interest in his whereabouts is a plot device. Obviously the subject matter is harrowing and I cried at the film but not when reading the book which I found a bit of a letdown. Very simply written and perhaps more suitable for younger readers.
