.Cubs On The Loose: Old Airplanes - New Adventures
City Travel Guides > Books > Berkeley
by: NC-87881, Lyle Wheeler

September 08, 2001
We old-time tail-dragger pilots cannot pass a J-3 Cub without looking it over. If you have not flown in one, you should, just to appreciate the machine. Wheeler has put together a nostalgic story told by the Cubs themselves with their pilots referred to as "humanoids". The story involves the kind of flying we all dream about; namely, flying from grass field to grass field, camping under the wing, and doing it again the next day. Many humorous flying situations are told to the reader, with the "humanoids" often taking the brunt of the humor. Modern pilots who fly with "glass" instrument panels and funny-looking individual landing wheels on the front of their aircraft may not appreciate the tale, but those pilots who have been trained in slow ...

.The Definitive Guide to Berkeley DB XML (Definitive Guide)
City Travel Guides > Books > Berkeley
by: Danny Brian

August 21, 2006
I tend not to buy too many technical books because they are usually written by someone who had the time to write them not someone that knows anything. They are usually out of date, and quite often only tell you what you can find in man pages anyway. Still you sometimes pick up a few tips that you might save you a little time.

I was somewhat surprised then to find, as I read through the myriad editing errors and appalling grammar in this 'book' that there wasn't actually ANY useful content at all. In fact if you don't know anything about databases or XML before you read this book, then you will take away some very strange ideas about data such as what is/should be repeating groups, why you use attributes and so. These will probably ... Read More:

.Lois on the Loose
City Travel Guides > Books > Berkeley
by: Lois Pryce

March 31, 2007
I'm not a big book reader, too much riding or other things to do. This book, I just couldn't put it down! What an adventure, I want Louis to go on another trip. This book has excitement and disapointments. If you have ever gone on a bike trip, you can relate to Louis with either someone she traveled with, or it makes you see yourself in how she explains her companions. Louis- if you are out there, YOU GO GIRL!!!!!

I have lived in Paris for over two years, but this guide remains my favorite for restaurant ideas, bars, cafés, and days I just want to change my neighborhood. While prices are in francs, and some of the stuff about bar and club trends is a bit dated, it's still the best resource I've found besides word-of-mouth for how to see the City of Lights on a budget. The restaurant suggestions are especially well-chosen.
