Pretty pictures.......2005-08-29

Although you would think this more of a coffee table book, it is a good read and has some beautiful pictures.

The City of Squares!.......2004-07-15

Savannah has always been a "southern-charm" city. Some of it's beauty and history has been preserved by the renewal of interest in it's squares, small parks and cemeteries. This book is a perfect companion depicting the charm of this city-so unique in the busy world of today. Not only is the photography superb, but the accompanying writing is great. A great memory boost for someone who has been to Savannah or a precursor for someone preparing to tour the city. I visited in the mid 1960s and was delighted to see it again! Thanks!

Not a bad one.......2000-10-07

This book has a lot of different examples of graphic design that has been published. There's a short description on how every one is set up, the idea behind it, the client, designers and list of programs used. You have to know some about how to work photoshop, illustrator and QuarkXPress to use the effects since they are not explained in detail. This only means that there are so many more examples to look at and be inspired by...

Book Description

This book provides an extensive and critical assessment of the current regulatory and supervisory framework of investment services in the European Union (EU) and proposes alternative institutional structures. Recent trends in financial services at EU level as well as regulatory and institutional developments at a national level make the focus of this book very timely. The book contributes to the debate by making specific suggestions with regard to the institutional structure and the operational sphere of a central pan-European regulator.

Customer Reviews:

Dull book with little information.......2002-10-22

If you have no idea what Internet is and have never seen ebay web site then you might learn something from this book. But for an average Internet-savvy person it offers little to nothing. There is a lengthy description of well-know information (like terms of sale of ebay) and constant selling of ebay business model: nothing you can't read elsewhere.

so and so.......2002-08-08

The author "gets" eBay. Unfortunately, he was not granted interviews or access to eBay people. As a result, the book is little more than a collection of articles from the Industry Standard, Fast Company abd the like. Furthermore, the book covers eBay until December 1999 or Q1 2001 at most. Back then, it looked like Yahoo! had a business model, remember? And yes, the author contemplates the possibility of a Yahoo! takeover (which was possible) and even the ridiculous idea that eBay should perhaps create its own "portal" in order to grow... Not worth the money. Buy "The Perfect Store" by Adam Cohen instead.

Not much meat.......2001-02-06

This book gives an overview of ebay's creation and why it has been a success. It gives no insider insights however. It was fun to read but I did not learn much from it. This book does not have substance.

A poor read.......2000-12-31

This book is basically a series of quoted and sited magazine articles hastily cobbled together into a book. The only "real" interviews done by the author are with a few eBay customers who use the site. The author admits no one with eBay granted him an interview or let him in the building. For a much better story of how eBay came to be, read eBoys by Robert Stross.

Sold!!.......2000-10-26

This book basically delivers what it promises to. Lots of somewhat dry facts about how a small Internet business boomed into one of the hottest "sites" available.

I am a big Ebay fan. I wanted to find out more about the people who created Ebay but also wanted to get a feel for the direction these people were hoping to guide the future of the site to.

Although I thought the story was fairly interesting, this book was very dryly written. Not much was cited other than the absolute bare bones facts and the writing was not particularly interesting.

While I realize this is a business book, I think there was much room for interesting tidbits, advice or funny stories. None here. Too bad...

Too technical.......2002-04-18

I buyed this book wishing for advices on a skin disease I have. I am no a physician, and I found little use on the text. Its too much technical.
Maybe its valuable for somebody with a medicine degree.

Good information--not so good index.......1998-09-07

While the information contained in the book is very helpful, getting to the information itself is another story. For example, I looked up "bump"--nothing; "red patch"--nothing, nothing under "red" and nothing under "patch." I wish they would have done a better job cross-referencing their index to make it easier to find what you need.
