Best of the Best Mutual Funds.......1999-12-17

A great book. The methodology made a lot of sense to me and who can argue with funds with good track records and low fees, low risk, and long manager tenure. Definitely helped me pick a couple of funds for my investments.

Well organized and informative book!.......1999-11-21

This mutual fund book was one of the best I have read yet. As a young professional this guide is geared towards the investor who has a long-term goal, for me its a comfortable retirement. I like the way that Chand only selects the best funds that have consistent above-average performance, long manager tenure, low risk, low fees and wide availablilty. Great Buy!

Book Description

I wrote this business start-up manual to guide those seeking a career in the field of special events. It is chock full of inside information. I have included samples of the actual contracts, business cards, advertising and sales tools that I used in my business, Affairs of the Heart. Published in 1993, the information is just as applicable today as it was then. This book is solid information, not a lot of "fluff."

Some will find it helpful.......2002-08-29

This author put her heart into this book and offers her own personal philosophies about running a business, and it will be just what some people are looking for. I preferred the FabJob.com guides on how to start a wedding planning business and how to start an event planning business for concrete advice on how to get clients.

Good simple business ideas..........2002-07-06

When ordering this book, I hoped that it would provide me with basic and realistic information on beginning a career as an event planner. Lukcily it did! It's definitely a book for someone who wants to start a home-based company with little start up cost and as little risk as possible. It's very easy to understand, and flows quite fluidly. However, as a marketing major, I found the binder and photocopied pages a little tasteless, along with the grammatical errors. I also can't imagine being an event consultant who uses folding tables as desks. I'm not sure if I totally agree with the way she charges her fees and brings in income, but I will say that she seems to be very knowledgable and honest. The book is worth the money if you are trying to research the industry like I am. She is a well repspected bridal consultant, and although my "style" is different, I certainly learned enough from her to feel like this book was worth the purchase.

Don't waste your money........2002-02-08

... Her financial suggestions are scary as one reviewer put it. One suggestion she offered could bring problems for her vendors as well as herself.
Some of her ideas are useful and helpful but some things are just plain common sense.This book basically tells how to inflate your fee and deceive the vendors and the couple. If there were any spelling mistakes they did fix them. But the price for this book is very over inflated. I would really recommend you to keep shopping around for another book to help you start your party planning business. I know I am.

Save your money, this one is a rip off!.......2002-01-23

Wow,what a dissapointment! I don't mind paying high prices for a photo copied book if the content is good. This book was so basic. As a person with years of marketing experience, I can tell you that I dissagree with a lot of her suggestions. The typos are distracting and unprofessional, I hope her marketing materials aren't this sloppy. The financial suggestions are scarey. This author needs to stick to planning parties and leave the financial and marketing advice up to those who know what they are talking about. I recommend you buy DOLLARS AND EVENTS if you want realistic and helpful information on starting your own business. Save your money, don't buy this one.

Disappointing.......2001-09-26

After waiting 8 days with excited anticipation to receive my "how to" guide on starting my own event planning business, disappointment was all I felt. Not only does it come in a plain black binder with photocopied pages, the table of contents was placed in it backwards. Even though I was skeptical, I began to read and tried to remain open minded that perhaps the content would be worth the inflated price for a plain black binder. I was disappointed again when I realized no true editing had been done. There seemed to be many grammatical errors and the writer and editor used spell check but did not read word for word to check for accuracy in content. I stopped reading and started looking for a more professional guide to meet my professional expectations.

Cool! Everything but the kitchen sink.......1998-09-09

Mindblowing! There's so much here it's hard to know where to begin. Suffice it to say that this book provides full information about all the places and ways to find jobs with nonprofits and in education. It's easy to use and actually fun (the cartoons are great!). You could spend hours with it -- but the best thing is, it helped me and several friends find jobs really quickly. Thanks.

Book Description

Find out what thousands of women have learned about achieving wealth
Take the money personality test that can change your life
Uncover your hidden financial talents
Learn to invest without fear

Between one third and two thirds of women now aged thirty-five to fifty-five will be impoverished after age sixty-five if they do not immediately start to prepare financially for their later years.  It is Christopher Hayes's mission to change that frightening statistic.

Women are less psychologically inclined than men to save on a regular basis.  Women are less likely than men to benefit from Social Security and pension plans.  Women are at increased financial risk because of widowhood and divorce.  For these reasons alone, Money Makeovers provides information no woman can afford to be without.

In a book that is at once a wake-up call and a practical guide, Dr.  Christopher L.  Hayes, Founder and Executive Director of the National Center for Women and Retirement Research, teaches women to understand their own "financial personality profile," overcome gender-based resistance, and take charge of their economic security.

By addressing the specific links between money attitudes and personality types, Money Makeovers offers targeted advice that speaks to the unique concerns and fears of the individual reader.  Each woman will be able to recognize herself in the specially designed "Women Cents Self-Test," as well as in the anecdotes and case histories throughout the text, and will be empowered to move forward with a practical financial plan.

By learning why she has been reluctant or unable to save; by learning how to overcome her own psychological barriers; and by following Hayes's savvy, specific financial advice, each woman will be able to plan her own future, free of economic anxiety.

Book Description

Bringing together scholars in consumer behavior, history, anthropology, religious studies, sociology, and communication, this is the first interdisciplinary anthology spanning the topic of ritual studies. It offers a multifaceted exploration of new rituals, such as Celebrating Kwanzaa, and of the ways entrenched rituals, such as Mardi Gras, gift giving, and weddings have changed. Moreover, it examines the influence of both cultures and subcultures, and will enhance our understanding of why and how consumers imbue goods and services with meaning during rituals.

In this volume, the first in a new LEA series on Marketing and Consumer Psychology:
*a religious studies scholar talks about the media representation of ritual;
*communication scholars discuss the transformational aspects of rituals surrounding alcohol consumption;
*a marketing scholar demonstrates the relevance of organizational behavior theory to understanding gift-giving rituals in the workplace; and
*a historian describes howthe marketing of Kwanzaa was so integral to its successful adoption.
