.Cracking the AP U.S. History Exam, 2008 Edition (College Test Prep)
City Travel Guides > Books > Reference
by: Princeton Review

February 05, 2008
This book was awesome. I used Princeton Review to study for 2 out of my 6 AP classes. I had this US History book and the AP Psychology book. The two exams I used Princeton Review to study for, I got 5s! In the other 4 subjects I got 4s. This book is the exact tool you need to push yourself from a 4 to a 5! It's great!

.The PowerScore LSAT Logic Games Bible
City Travel Guides > Books > Reference
by: David M. Killoran

January 31, 2008
Instead of typing a paragraph, I'll do a bullet point review to make this review more readable.

Pros of this Book
* A lot of good information can be had here if you're willing to read
* Very useful info on proper diagramming techniques
* The drills throughout the chapters help with learning the application of techniques
* The organization is excellent in this book. The most common game types are at the front of the book while the more obscure game types are in towards the back of the book
* The drill explanations are detailed. The most important thing to do is to look over drills/questions and learn why answers are correct or incorrect and where you messed up if you got a question wrong.

.The Visual Display of Quantitative Information, 2nd edition
City Travel Guides > Books > Reference
by: Edward R. Tufte

2001-05
Tufte's book is a very fine book on data graphics.

Although this book gives a lot of simple advice on how to effectively communicate quantitative information, it is not just a recipe-like book, as it also makes you think about a data graphic as something that is telling a story with numbers.

Beware that not all advice given is easily applied using common office suites. This is by no means a problem with the book, it is just that the text is not at all software-oriented. In fact, you may start to see the limitations in the office suites themselves. So, for those who just want some fast rules to use in their favorite software, this book may not be enough, or even the most recommended one. For all other readers, I highly recommend ... Read More:

.Cracking the GMAT with DVD, 2009 Edition (Graduate Test Prep)
City Travel Guides > Books > Reference
by: Princeton Review

June 10, 2008
This book is almost perfect. Cracking clues and useful tips are perfect but need more practise questions. Because most of other books do not classify GMAT strategies like it. I recommend this book.

.1,000 Places to See Before You Die: A Traveler's Life List
City Travel Guides > Books > Reference
by: Patricia Schultz

May 22, 2003
Yes, I get it, you've stayed in all the five-star, treats-you-like-a-Royalty, $400-per-night Grand Hotel suites all throughout the World, and you liked their banquet dinners with their fancy hors d'oveurs while enoying the view of their pretty, "sprawling gardens". You also should have mentioned your 24k-golden toilets and those diamond-embedded pillows you rested your head upon after a tiresome day of the luxurious tours.

Come on, I was looking for a general Tour Guide, not an All-Around-The-World Hotel Yellowpage! The compact size of the book was favorable, but I didn't know that would mean it also had compact, 20-second guides per city. When it actually started to get interesting, it went onto other popular, well-known cities, and then finally onto ... Read More:

.How to Have Style

October 07, 2008
This is the most exhilarating style book I've ever looked at. You'll enjoy it. It would be perfect if we could see Mr. Mizrahi give himself the IM treatment in the final chapter. Enough with those sneakers and schlumpy black clothes!

.Ahead of the Curve: Two Years at Harvard Business School
City Travel Guides > Books > Reference
by: Philip Delves Broughton

July 31, 2008
I've read most of the b-school books about student life and I truly enjoyed this one. It was an intelligent take on the experience. The b-school content - and the fever around recruiting/careers - is perfectly captured.

For many of us (and possibly you, the reader), this is an authentic perspective, albeit a somewhat conservative one. I'd also recommend Snapshots from Hell (also about Harvard) and The Blushing MBA (woman's view, based on Harvard or some top-tiered school).

I bought this book for my seven year old emerging Stars Wars fan. He LOVES this book and brings it with him everywhere. The book is great as it has all the characters from all the movies. The pictures are great as well as all the information about the characters.
