Geoff Wilson's Complete book of Fishing Knots & Rigs.......2001-05-31
Este es un libro internacional, especial para aquellas personas que están interesadas en mejorar sus tecnicas de armado de equipos de pesca. Aunque es un libro en inglés, para los guías de pesca de habla hispana les será de mucha utilidad. Con lo que respecta a los dibujos de pesca son extremadamente detallistas y faciles de seguir. Considero que es uno de los mejores libros, su costo, la calidad del papel y el trabajo en dibujos y la forma sencilla de escribir permite es un libro obligado de trabajo de todos los guias de pesca y de los pescadores deportivos.
geoff wilson's knots and rigs.......2000-01-23
This is a very well designed book with large diagrams and clear concise text. The author's drawings are a real treat. It covers basic and advanced knots for fresh and saltwater fishing plus fairly detailed information on specific rigging for different baits. I have 6 or 7 different books on fishing knots/rigs and this is my favorite. The price is right, too.
Book Description
Contains easy-to-follow expert instruction for all fishermen on how to tie eighty important knots with clear color illustrations that guide you step-by-step.
Customer Reviews:
Knot for Fishermen!.......2002-10-04
Geoffrey Budworth is not a fisherman, he is a knot book publisher/historian/marketeer. His books on rope knots are excellent but skip this title if you are looking for a go-to fishing knot reference. Two superior fishing knot books are Marty Sosin's Practical Fishing Knots and Geoff Wilson's Complete Book of Fishing Knots and Rigs. However, if you want a good book on rope knots, any of Mr. Budworth's many titles are sure to please.
Its a very very useful book.......2000-05-30
I think this is one of the best books for pasionate fishers,begginers or advanced

THis book Rules.......1999-09-09
It really is full of great info and worth buyin
Great book for tying and understanding the uses for knots.......1998-11-22
I found this book had every major fishing knot type and good comments on where and when to use them. The subject is simple, yet covered in depth.
In summary, I think it is a handy reference guide to both beginner and "old salty" fishermen. If you find you cannot tie a knot that holds in monofilament or "spider" type lines, this book is very helpful. The step by step illustrations are some of the best I have seen.
Book Description
A beautifully illustrated guide to knots for home and the outdoors.

My "Go To" book for knots.......2007-05-20
I bought this book in Escalante, Utah, when doing my first canyoneering excursion. I have seen many other books since, but this remains my favorite.
1) It has very clear pictures that make it easy to follow the instructions
2) As other reviewers have written, each knot has a little history blurb about it. Nice touch!
3) The book is organized logically - by use (boating, fishing, caving, etc.)
4) The book contains more knots than you could ever possibly want to know.
Highly recommend to someone looking for a "One Stop" knot book.
My Son the Sailor Loved This book.......2007-04-11
I bought this book for my son, who is a sailor and lives aboard his sailboat. He said it was great. I didn't see it, but for that application, it was just what he was looking for.
Great selection.......2007-03-14
I liked this book because of the shear number of knots included in it. Some of the illustrations are a little hard to follow, but most of them I had no problem with. I also think the small blurb on the history of each knot is pretty cool.
A Good Knot Book.......2005-08-21
This book gives clearly illustrated instructions on tying many very useful knots. It organizes them under headings of Sailing, Hiking and Climbing in which they are most commonly used. The author includes the strength of most of these knots which describes how much they weaken the lines in which they are tied - often leaving less than 50% of the original strength of the line! Some knots do not hold well when bending (you will learn the definition of this term, as well as "hitch" and "knot") together two ropes of unequal size. Maybe you should use a different knot? Budworth has a suggestion!
This book is both useful and interesting thanks to the inclusion of a brief history of each knot. It did not change my life, but it did change how I secure my anchors! I recommend it!
A nice introduction to the world of knots..........2001-02-24
I bought this book for my husband for Christmas, and we've both come to like it very much. Neither of us are "knot aficionados", as it were, but wanted a book which would allow us to explore some knots we might need in our outdoor activities (horseback riding, camping, sailing, etc.) As the beginners at knotmaking we are, this book has proven to be excellent for us.
At the very beginning the book has a directory of the knots contained, listed by name, page number, application (sailing, caving, climbing, and so on), and description. In the introduction the book covers a number of topics: knotlore; terms, tips, and techniques; ends; and tips on using the book. In the main part of the book, each knot has a small photo of a finished knot, an explanation of the application of the knot, numerous diagrams showing the knot being tied, a description of the tying of the knot, and a brief history of the knot itself.
I really don't understand why some of the other reviewers feel so strongly about this book, as a neophyte to the world of knots, I found it more than adequate, and it served my needs well. And I find my husband returning to it again and again, as he slowly falls under the spell of knots, well on his way to becoming a true knot geek. If you're a beginner looking for a practical guide to knotmaking, this book will suit you well.

Shag milestone.......2006-03-14
This book is a great resource for cataloging the career of Shag. A new book is out by Billy Shire that delves deeper but this book was first and draws a significant line in the sand.
I have followed Shag's career from before it was a fine art career and continue to follow it (see the catalogs from the shows I curated featuring Shag pieces: Tiki Art Now! and Tiki Art Two) and I think this book is a great starting point for all new Shag fans as well as a must have for serious, longstanding Shag fans.

Breakthrough Illustrator SHAG!!.......2005-04-05
Of course, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a bit envious of how this illustrator creates such great masterpieces. Shag, aka Josh Agle, has perplexed the minds of many who often wonder how such simplistic paintings attract such a devoted fanbase. Stars such as Whoopi Goldberg have collected his work, making simple prints skyrocket to unobtainable prices. This book showcases some of Shag's work, and the pictures are of the highest quality.
Having had the pleasure of actually meeting Shag at an art gallery in Long Beach, I've noticed that he bears a startling resemblance to the men he includes in his paintings. Although it was not his attention to do so, I thought it was rather interesting.
Certainly a good picture book for anyone seeking a minute library of his vast works, Shag is definetely not an artist to be imitated.
Dissapointing.......2004-11-09
From the cover and title this book promises more than it offers, it was hardly the karmasutra we expected, nor was it an insightful and USEFUL travel guide to the beautiful ad unspoilt regions of 'Shag Rocks' (yes it does exsist we know we've been there.....many times).
so in conclusion....this was the most dissapointing shag we've ever had!!!!
love ros and rach (age 13 1/2)
wonderviews.......2003-07-15
The delightful work represented by Shag is such a crowd pleaser, appealing to the avant garde and yuppies alike. His anthropomorphic playfulness and detail for amusement, absurdity and child-like wonderment are addictive.
Tons of fun in this book!
An homage to 50's lounge culture with an ironic wink.......2002-07-26
JoSH AGle (Shag) is one of the preeminent artists in the southern California "lowbrow" art scene who masterfully combines the iconography of the Jetsons, James Bond, Disney, tiki, and 50's Vegas. The artwork in "Bottomless Cocktails" illustrates why there is always a waiting list of people willing to pay [very high prices] for a Shag original, and why his serigraphs seem to double in price every few months.
Simple and geometric in composition, offering a limited palette, often as little as four colors, and a flattened perspective, Shag's paintings combine zombie jazz bands, beatnik chicks, and red devils in lounge attire. If you're looking for inspiration for decorating your tiki bar, or you're nostalgic for Saturday Mornings past, look no further. This is the book for you.

Art of Shag: Bottomless Cocktail by Shag.......2004-06-09
This is a wonderful book with the art of Josh Agle (SHAG). It is a nice sampling of various types of his body of work. A great coffee table book. I highly recommend it to any SHAG fan or fan of 50's and 60's looking art!

The most important thing for a prospective owner to do is learn everything they can about the breed they are interested in and then go shopping.

Must have for all pet owners - Breeders Bible .......2006-05-09
I bought this book years ago and it has been a constant companion. It contains information on all aspects of dog care.
It explains, in easy to understand terms, how to find a reputable breeder, dog care, breeding info, dog health and so much more.
Terri was a exceptional breeder and a true pioneer in the dog field. She gave all she had to benefit Liver Shunt research so our animals would not have to die needlessly.
I LIKE TO GIVE THIS TO ALL MY YORKIE BUYERS but it is getting harder to find since her death last year.
Excellent Dog Book.......2002-01-29
This is a great book! Terri covers every aspect of finding, buying, training, breeding, and caring for a dog. Lots of up-to-date easy to understand detailed information. Extra information on toy breeds including Yorkies. I bought a few extra books and gave them to friends.
A must read for pet owners and breeders!.......2001-11-14
Terri Shumsky's years of solid experience show through in this fabulous guide for both pet owners and those who breed dogs.
This book offers practical advice in easy to understand language. And her advice applies to pure bred dogs and those of uncertain parentage.
Everyone who has a dog should read this book. Everyone who is thinking about getting a dog most definitely should read it.
How To Buy A Good Healthy Dog.......2001-11-14
Well, Mrs. Shumsky has done it again with her second book, but too a much wider audience of dog readers. I read her first book, " How to Buy and Raise Your Toy Dog", but this one covers that one plus alot more and is so well indexed with a blink of an eye you can find whatever you are looking for. From finding a good, reputable breeder, to raising the pup to adulthood, feeding and training, along with medical problems, along with solving and learning about many medical problems, and a real special section for breeders which covers the pregnant female to the actual whelping and aftercare of Mom and puppies. It is a wonderful read and very easy to follow and understand. Thank you Terri Shumsky for another wonderful book to help us and our canine friends.

Book Description
For the first time, significant material from the archives of Graceland(r) relating to the career of Elvis Presley will be made available to the public through an auction being held by Guernsey's on behalf of Elvis Presley Enterprises (EPE). This official catalogue highlights more than 2,000 pieces of Elvis(r) memorabilia offered for sale, including some of Elvis' personal possessions and other significant artifacts. Each and every page features scores of fascinating objects, such as Elvis' army fatigues and concert jump-suites, Elvis' personal address book with his handwritten entries, a rare 1971 Cadillac station wagon once owned by Elvis, and the much publishing contract for the hit "Heartbreak Hotel." Comprehensive and informative essays-contributed by notable figures such as Jack Soden, President and CEO of EPE, and Sam Phillips, the founder of Sun Records (where Elvis got his start)-round out this extraordinary catalogue.
Elvis' movies, his many concerts, his very words are presented in never-before-seen documents. Particularly meaningful is the fact that every item in the auction will be accompanied by certification indicating that these items are from the Presley Estate. Elvis fans and collectors worldwide will be transfixed by one of the most memorable auctions in history, a major media event to be held at the beautiful MGM Grand Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. Guernsey's is the record-setting auction house that recently conducted the remarkable sale featuring over 600 items relating to the career of President John F. Kennedy. The auction house is based in New York City.

From a sigar to a car.......2000-05-07
LAS VEGAS - December 1999: a 3-day ELVIS auction at the MGM Grand Hotel from the archives of Graceland and Colonel Tom Parker. Over 850 items, from a sigar to a car, were beeing auctioned.
Every auction has it's catalogue and so did this one, although you needed to buy this book to be allowed to attend the auction live. The catalogue is huge, softcover, over 300 pages with a foreword written by Jack Soden and Lisa Marie Presley. The book contains 3 parts: a 50s, 60s and 70s part. From most items a picture is included and the expected salesprofits are mentioned.
Items vary from huge amounts of official RCA documents, cards from JFK, Frank Sinatra and others, the Colonel's desk (rated between $30.000 and $40.000!), jumpsuits, jewelry, signed cheques, promtional material (posters etc.), a signed baseball, a horse saddle from Elvis' favorite horse ("Rising Sun") etc. etc. etc.
Although most items weren't and aren't affordable for the average Elvisfan, it sure is fun to see all these famous, interesing and sometimes weird items, once belonging to Elvis. For die-hard Elvisfans only.
Note: $1.5 million from the profits from this auction (over $5 million) went to a charity project called "Presley Place", a new to built centre for the homeless people.
Elvis memorabilia like none other.......1999-11-25
This book is a must have for a true Elvis fan. It is a beautiful book to be put on display in your home and will receive rave reviews from anyone who picks it up. The shiny, gold cover will catch everyones eye. Just knowing that all the items featured were TRULY a part of his life is awesome. Pages and pages of Elvis memorabilia with a description of the item and a short story about it. It will take you days maybe months to read all the detailed descriptions. Pictures galore and you will recognize many of the items from his movies. The person who ever thought to save everything and anything Elvis ever wrote, drew, read, wore, etc. was a true psychic who knew that one day Elvis memorabilia would be so treasured (some say it was the Colonel). This book was the only thing I purchased from the Elvis auction and it turned out to be enough. It truly gives you an idea of who the man was and what he was about. Failing geography but getting A's in music tells it all.

Book Description
Recorded history is a finely-woven magic fabric of intricate lies about events predating the sixteenth century. There is not a single piece of evidence that can be reliably and independently traced back earlier than the eleventh century. This book details events that are substantiated by hard facts and logic, and validated by new astronomical research and statistical analysis of ancient sources.

Calculations are only as good as your numbers.......2007-08-03
Yes, we can all agree that mainstream history is nearly 100% BS due to politics, economics, ego, problems with dating techniques, and various conspiracies. Agreed. But, I've been researching the distinct possibility that human history (in terms of civilizations) are much more ancient than we've been told, so coming across this book was very interesting to me. I wondered how Fomenko could be wrong (if at all) because he is very persuasive in his presentations. Then it dawned on me. If at previous times in prehistory, due to the various catastrophies that are well documented (comets, asteroids, planetary disruptions, plasma discharge, pole reversals, etc) the Earth was in a different position in relation to the sun, different tilt on its axis, different orbit, different rotation (in terms of velocity and DIRECTION), and the continents were in different positions, then would this not cause the ancients to see the sky (constellations) differently? In other words, is Fomenko making erronious assumptions about the physics of the Earth in pre-history, which then corrupt his data with regards to dating the relevant astrology? The last event to seriously disrupt our planet occured roughly 3500 years ago, according to other good researchers, so is it possible Fomenko has been confused by this? The vastly different physics of our planet in the not so distant past may explain this confusion, which is not to say the "mainstream" version of history is correct; on the contrary. I am not an expert in these fields, but wanted to see if this idea could spark discussion.
Pants on fire?.......2007-07-19
Will people ever read before spamming? Yes, Jesuits could not rewrite world history alone, they had help. Anyway, Dr Prof Acad A.Fomenko does not point to jesuits as the driving force of world wide history manipulation in published volumes 1,2,3;, actually he barely mentions the poor devils. Check it with 'Search inside' feature, please. China is rarely mentioned either, in fact, Dr Fomenko is completely eurocentric. Right, his theory contradicts all mainstream schools of history, because in their actual state they are all built on blatantly erroneus chronology. You don't need a mysterious cabal (conspiracy) to falsify history, the falsification is its modus operandi. It is inherent to history(ians) to falsify (distort) events, as it is inherent to humans to boast as it is inherent to power (authority) to legimize itself by referrring to glorious past made to its own order. Dr Prof Fomenko and team have identified scores of instances of such manipulation in Russian, European, etc.. history, and delivered valid statistical proof thereof. His own 'reconstruction' is completely another story. Forget c14 as a valid method of dating. W.Libby has initially discovered a brilliant method of INDEPENDENT dating. Too bad, c14 method has become a joke after a forced marrige with dendrochronology with consensual chronological scale inbuilt. Radiocarbon method can't stand blind tests, but is so very productive as a rubberstamp.
Accepted History & Chronology Must Be Changed. .......2007-04-09
There is no doubt that history as most know it is a sham, & institution's version of History both University & Church is fradulent & inaccurate. Everything was established with an agenda, The real "Dark Ages" are now when we have access to incredible amounts of information past authorities & more important 'common folk' didn't have but our institutions & educators are slow to evolve because of what has ignorantly & arrogantly been taught for too long. This is on many subjects not just Chronology.
For anyone to question "Why would a Mathematician have anything credible to say of History?" The answer is from Dr. Fomenko's preface in the book: "It would be worthwhile to remind the reader that in the XVI-XVII century Chronology was considered to be a subdivision of Mathematics." These volumes could possibly be some of the most important works to date & should be read by everyone with an interest in History, especially professors & educators who have a duty to the public. I have read both books & must say that 'Chronology 1' has some very eye opening & revolutionary information. Even if these volumes are part true the implications are profound & opens the doors to further investigations & questions which must be done. I speak several different lanquages & must say the logic Dr. Fomenko uses with "inflection" of words & words being read from left to right in one region & right to left in another then written backwards, the removal of vowels & get down to basics of words, or different cities & locations having the same name etc. is correct. Vowel usage has always been optional & varied, actually complicating linquistics & study. The first thing one has to understand is that words never had a fixed spelling in history like we do now, the spelling of words was mutable & regional, as well as names & titles of people were vast, varied & changed, NOTHING WAS FIXED or understood linear. Matters of Life & Death as well as financial profiteering yesterday & today were & are made with ignorant, illogical & conspiratorial views of history & reality, it's time people get closer to the Truth & society collectively grow up.

It is a good proposal and I believe it will mature into something even better in the future. I think it deserves to be read.
History as Science Fiction.......2007-01-10
Anatoly Fomenko has written a very intriguing book, full of pictures, charts, and computer 'proof' of his thesis: backwards of AD900 we don't really know what happened or when. Between AD900 and AD1600 there is more certainty, but there is still a lot of fuzzy ground, and things don't get reliable until we get past the 1600's where the printing press made it very difficult for the perpetrators of this timeline manipulation to change anything that had been committed to print. The Dark Ages did not happen. Books were burned for a reason. One organization has doubled the actual length of its existence by expanding the real chronology. Read why.
I had always wondered why Christ died about AD33 and yet men waited until the 11th century to form the Knights Templar, the Cathars, etc and go after the Holy Land by force. Why the 1000 year gap? Turns out there wasn't more than a 10-12 year gap and he proves it using astronomy. This also implies that the planet is not as old as we have been told, and current Christian and other creationist scientists are already championing that idea without being aware of Fomenko's book. The two groups, creationist scientists and the Russian mathematical analysts corroborate each other. Fascinating.
Of course, all this flies in the face of what we have been told traditionally is the 'proper' chronology of western civilization, and most readers will experience 'cognitive dissonance' in reading this book. It means that our history going backwards from AD1600 becomes progressively more incorrect and unreliable until it cannot be trusted at all... in the space of 700-800 years.
Naturally, the curious, open-minded reader will want to know WHO did this, WHY, and did any of the events we think of as really ancient ever happen?
Dr. Fomenko is a respected scientist/mathematician at Moscow State University who has already answered these questions to the satisfaction of his initially skeptical colleagues. Most of them are now believers, a few still refuse to believe (the usual diehards), and of course the western press has ignored Fomenko's work -- for obvious reasons when you read the book. The ones who perpetrated this chronology ruse have a lot to answer for. They are still with us. That's why this book is a well-kept secret.
I gave the book a 4-star rating because I was unable to check out some of his claims; those I checked were as he said. But if even 1/3 of his claims are true, this punches a big hole in what we think is our history, the meaning of western civilization, our educational process (for repeating the ruse as gospel), and the trustworthiness of the organization that perpetrated this ruse, well-intentioned or not.
This book relates to current research into a Young Earth paradigm, to John Keel's discoveries about our planet, and Fr Malachi Martin's insights (in his now out-of-print books). We are indeed sheep who are manipulated and kept ignorant -- for a reason. While knowing what these men have to say may be the "booby prize" (as in: 'what can you do with this knowledge?'), it will provide interesting reading. Didn't someone say: "...and the Truth will set you free."?? For you to judge if this book contains the truth.

Journey to a New Land: An Oral History.......2004-03-31
What a wonderful family history to share with our children and grandchildren! My husband came to America from Italy in the 1950's and I have heard similar stories of his family's voyage to this "New Land" for many years. As we read the book, he talked about his own experiences after leaving his home in Vallecuppa, Italy and arriving in New York as an eleven year old. He, like Elda, lost his father after being here for only one year. His family also struggled to survive. This book covers feelings of coming to a strange land, not knowing the language or customs and how the family adjusted. Please read this book with your children and grandchildren...don't let this important message of survival, struggle, adjustment, hard work and success stop...the story belongs to all of us...it's our heritage.
