"THE HOUSE GUESTS" LEAVES NO QUESTION WHY JOHN D. MacDONALD RECIEVED SEVERAL HONORARY PhDs IN LITERATURE. IT IS AN EXCELLENT READ, WHETHER ONE LIKES CATS OR NOT.

I had always been a Travis McGee fan and enjoyed other MacDonald books as well. Then I stumbled on "The House Guests" in the library. A nonfiction look at John D. Macdonald's life with pets over the years, I found this book a compelling look inside the life of the creator of T. McGee. I just enjoy the way this man writes, whether it be pulp fiction of this warm tale of domesticity. I love knowing that the creator of the perennially unattached T. Mcgee was a loyal husband and family man. And animal lover. So sad that we lost this talented writer way too soon.

If you are a cat person, you'll love this book. If you are a mystery fan, you'll love this book. I discovered this title after reading and re-reading all of John D.s Travis McGee series, and his same high-quality writing WITH wonderful descriptions of antic animals can be found here.

I used this manual to make practical repairs to a 1983 Cavalier. It gave detailed and very comprehensive information, with lots of photos and drawings to guide me through every step of maintenance, repair, or overhaul. A shop manual is a reference. You want to be able to find information fast. This Clymer book, is designed with such use in mind!

I read the book and just want to make a review of certain car that I'm planning to buy and make the maintenance after

I actually bough my first one from a gas station when I was hopelessly lost in Vancouver. It quickly got me "un-lost". Since that day this book has become an indispensable part of any road trip to Vancouver. (If you plan on venturing further out of the city I'd recommend you get the Frazier Valley City Maps Book, too.)

It became so indispensable that I am now buying a second one so that both my husband and I can each have one in the car. The nice part is that at this price, you can easily afford to do that.

colorful, easy to read, accurate and very affordable...I use this for business and to give clients....they love it too!

This is a great book for the american muscle car enthusiast,however its recommended only for men 37 years old or older. These young guys of today werent even around when these great cars were conceptualized,and therefore this book is not for them.

It had awesome pictures, hints to live by and the most detailed information about muscle cars that there is. FIND OUT FOR YOURSELF!!!!!

This is actually three products: the screen itself, a critical hits pamphlet and the index for the WFRP rulebook.

As GM screens go, this one is tip top. I'm a fan of "Walls of Fear and Ignorance", some GM's use them, some don't. I like them. The better screens will give you a nice concise listing of important rules at a glance. That is exactly what this one does. It is four paneled. The "GM's side" lists rules for Standard Tests, Healing, Vision Ranges In Darkness, Availability of Items, Subsistence, two panels of combat rules and the fourth panel covers Movement. All usefull. The opposite side is full color. It includes two full color art prints and a two panel map of the Old World. The map being aimed towards the players is most usefull for them, as they have a handy reference as to where they are and/or where they are headed during travel. Besides the screen, this product includes two booklets.

'GM's Screen and Reference Pack' is 16 pages consisting of an 11 page index to the rulebook that (in my not so humble opinion) should have been IN the rulebook. The remaining pages consist of an Almanac based upon the one found in "Shadows over Bogenhafen", but expanded and if printed out, usefull. It lists the days of the week (there are 8), Holy-Days and Months and an explanation of the Imperial Year. There are two pages which can be copied and used to keep track of time in the campaign. The last page is a one page Equipment reference.

The second booklet, 'Critical Hits' is 16 pages as well. It is an expansion of the Critical Hits from the rulebook. It lists Crits for sharp hand weapons, Blunt Hand Weapons, Teeth and Claws, Arrows and Bolts, Firearms, Falling and Crushing, and Fire and Energy. There are two pages of Critical Fumbles and a one page reference for Critical Hits rules. Critical Hits and Fumbles are an important part of the WFRP combat system and add a great amount of enjoyment to the game.

This is a great product and is one of the three "must buys" for WFRP. Buy this with the rule book, and Shadows over Bogenhafen for a fantastic campaign.

The WFRP GM screen is indispensible for GM's in WFRP. It helps very much to be able not to review the rulebook at many instances, and to use the rulebook not for quick reference, but to look up specific instances of rules. In addition, the added crit tables are very useful, especially in unlikely combat situations that are brought up using the standard combat crit tables.

Buy this book and you will look forward to playing through a game a day as a treat rather than as chess study. GM Julian Hodgson has selected 40 stunning games from the 80s and 90s and gives background on the players and the tournament context which make them even more meaningful to those who know the importance of the psychological dimension of chess. His visual "attack statistics" boxes are a great aid for the club player wanting to improve his or her game, but even top players will be entertained by the daring and breathtaking positions here. Watch your own game change as you play through this book.

If you are reading this then more than likely you are a gamer. If you are not a gamer, Listen up, this is the GM screen for the role playing game Champions / or any HERO GAMES system. It it set up for use with 4TH Edition, It will soon be a collectors item since Hero games is getting ready to launch 5TH edition. It also includes extra insert of great gaming sheets and a city combat map. there is also cut out heros and villains to use with this map. Its a great gaming item, with a good price.

need to review the vacuum system for a 1969 corvett

It's great and nice.

Michael Schnayerson's chronicle of the building of this car is more important in pre-war 2003 than ever before. The designers, engineers and builders are real heros,producing real solutions when we need them most. Their story should be told everywhere.
I've driven the EV1 for the past five years and I'm here to say that it worked. Michael, if you're out there, consider writing the sequel. The story continues with global consequences...

...Reading this book is all
the more interesting whe you realize how well the Gen II EV1
with improved batteries works. An impressive work by GM and Michael Schnayerson in covering it so well.

Unfortunately, the initial Delco/Delphi batteries in the first generation EV1 underdelivered and weren't very reliable.

The Gen II EV1 changed all that once they got decent batteries. The new High-capacity lead-acid battery pack is 55 to 95 miles per charge by GM specification. Some drivers achieve over 100 miles on these daramatically improved lead acid batteries. ...

Thanks for your time!

This book was one of the best informational books I've ever read. Usually, I'm interested in novels with tons of action, however, I had to do a thesis for school, which ended up being on New Methods of Non-Pollutant Transportation. I assumed that this book, like most informational books would be extremely boring. However, having read it, it seems so much like a novel, with a plot, protagonists, antagonists, etc. It's very much like a novel. I've never read anything like this before, and I would recommend it to anyone who wants to read a great success story.
