pretty close to 'Ultimate'.......2007-05-23
This book does a great job of going over almost all the facets of starting and airbrushing. One of the most complete books I've seen.
great info.......2007-01-16
I gave this book to my husband along with a new airbrush & it's been a great help to him, includes info that even the airbrush didn't company give.
Comprehensive Excellence!!.......2005-09-08
The "Ultimate Airbrush Handbook" is exactly what it's title says is! No hyperbole in the title. It covers all aspects of airbrushing, useful to everyone, including newbies like myself. Well worth the money spent!
Ultimate Airbrush Handbook.......2005-07-21
Excellent. As the title states the "ultimate". Should be the first book purchased, borrowed or stolen for the enthusiast.
Great book.......2005-04-22
I've read other "how to airbrush" books, but this one is the best.
There is something for everyone from beginner (me) to advanced airbrushers.
From masking to freehand airbrushing.
Easy and simple to understand.
Once I received it and started reading it,I couldn't put it down.
So many things I thought I knew, but the book set me straight.
Other people on web forums had recommended this book, wish I had done it sooner.

Ufff.Nothing new........1999-05-01
There is NO new strips in this book.And I had read them all before!I payed to get a few strips I had before in color!At least I am not daltonic. If you want to spend your cash on dilbert books,get the black&white fat ones. I should have payed more atention to the book before buying it.
Cool.......1999-02-10
You wieners that gave it 1 star, should learn to read
Don't Bother.......1998-04-10
A grand total of about a dozen strips, all of which are available elsewhere, comprise this "book". Even those who find the Dilbert strip hilarious will be disappointed by the ratio of cost to humor. You're better off with one of the larger collections.

The five-volume Encyclopedia of African-American Culture and History is the ultimate reference work on the lives and significance of African Americans. Since it was published in 1996, however, scholars, students, and general readers have asked for a single-volume version. This book, part of the Macmillan Information Now Encyclopedia series, fills that need. Noted scholars such as Gerald Early (Washington University), Robert Hill (UCLA), and Nell Painter (Princeton University) have contributed over 400 entries on a wide variety of subjects, from Hammerin' Hank Aaron to zydeco. Many of the entries take the form of brief biographies of important African Americans, including civil-rights activists Ella Baker and Martin Luther King Jr., musicians Ray Charles and Miles Davis, writers Alex Haley and Toni Morrison, and sports figures Jackie Joyner-Kersee and Tiger Woods. Other entries focus on important events (Dred Scott v. Sandford, the Attica uprising), artistic movements (Harlem Renaissance, gospel music), places (New Orleans, Tuskegee University), and broader subjects (abolition, reconstruction, folklore). Throughout the book, cross-references, quotations, and definitions of unfamiliar terms appear in the margins and a detailed index helps you find what you're looking for. The text is scholarly yet readable and would be a valuable addition to any library. --C.B. Delaney

Book Description
"Leadership the Sven-Göran Eriksson Way examines the leadership style of the Egnland football manager Sven-Göran Eriksson. Our argument is that Eriksson's aproach is important because it brilliantly exemplifies a new leaderhip which defies conventional and historical stereotypes of how leaders think and behave. Eriksson is not a tub-thumping bellower of orders. He is no dictator. Instead he is a modern leadership archetype, a leader we can all learn from." From Leadership the Sven-Göran Eriksson Way
"...offers a visible and successful example of this new model of leader ..." Media Week
"...the authors examine the 'mature' form of leaderhip that Eriksson exemplifies: the level-headed long-termism that learns from failure, encourages responsibility and 'keeps it simple'..." The Business
"I very much enjoyed it and in particularly the way it gelled good business management principles with their application to football as illustrated by many of the ...decisions taken by our national coach who...has brought confidence, assurance, team spirit and a more worldwide awareness to our England team, giving everybody optimism." Gordon Taylor, Chief Executive of the Professional Footballers Association
Book Description
In this sparkling collection of parenting–affirming stories, author and award–winning columnist Phil Callaway captures the amusing and bemusing experiences that tug at the heartstrings of anyone who’s experienced the rollercoaster ride called “family.†Phil turns  sometimes–embarrassing moments into timeless spiritual lessons for young and old alike.
Readers will recognize their spouses, their kids, their parents—and themselves—in each tale. The comedy and humanity in each story encourages parents at any stage in the game to take notice of each day’s gifts of humor and faith.
Funny, inspiring, and timeless, this ride through parenthood and daily living reminds anyone who has a child—or was a child—just how wonderful and often whacky it is to be part of a family.

Close to Home.......2006-03-08
These 44 stories had me grinning, then chuckling, then laughing out loud so much that my wife and children wanted me to read it to them. We've spent the last several evenings reading these tales and have enjoyed them immensely. Callaway's style is not just funny, he has a point to every story. There were times I had to quit reading because I teared up, but more often I had to quit reading to laugh. This book has been such a blessing in our home. The book centers on the things that really matter and shows us that there's hope - something we as parents desperately need every single day.
Book Description
Designed with the modeller, preservationist and the wargamer in mind, Ian Allan Publishing's new 'in Detail' series is intended to provide the reader with a comprehensive history of the type of tank, self-propelled propelled gun and military transport featured. Each volume will include detailed history of the unit in service, along with information on variants, markings, unit allocations, etc. Alongside the comprehensive illustrative section, which will include detailed shots of models in colour, the books will also include scale drawings and comprehensive guidance notes on camouflage. Each title contains c12,000 words of text, illustrations and unit details and, where appropriate, will include production figures, interior details and include information on all the many items that differentiated each individual model of the type. More US half-tracks were manufactured than any other armoured vehicle. They served wherever the Allies ventured after 1941 (including the Eastern Front) and they were deployed in all manner of combat roles, from personnel carrier (its intended purpose) to self-propelled artillery and more. This work sets out to describe the M3 half-track series from their inception during the early 1930s until the war ended in 1945, not forgetting that some remain in active service to this day.

Customer Reviews:
Solid But Uneven.......2005-08-08
"Ain't Gonna Lay My 'Ligion Down: African American Religion in the South" is an edited volume primarily studying South Carolina and the surrounding region. However, the authors do a fine job discussing the possible application of their research to the rest of the South.
As with most edited compilations, the chapters are somewhat uneven. Some seem more agenda driven than research driven. Still, the solid chapters make the book very valuable and even the others make a worthwhile contribution to the topic.
"Pray's House Spirit," "Motherwit in Southern Religion," "Black Methodist Preachers," and "A Case Study of AMEZ Bishop James Walker Hood" each approached their subject with freshness and thoroughness. These four chapters alone offer more new insights into African American spiritual care than most complete books.
Reviewer: Dr. Robert W. Kellemen is the author of "Beyond the Suffering: Embracing the Legacy of African American Soul Care and Spiritual Direction." He has also authored "Soul Physicians" and "Spiritual Friends."
