1.Guinness World Records 2009 2009 (Guinness World) from: Guinness World Records Limited September 17, 2008
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £20.00 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £9.99 You Save: £10.01 (50%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £7.66
I still buy and read the Guinness Record book every year, because it's become like an old friend that I like to catch up with, but I have to disagree with Birch East. I like the way it has changed and brings out a fresh look each year. The changes, like holograms, 3D whatever, make it fresh every year. My nephews also are big fans of the 3D gimmick. I do agree with the recommendation for Getting Into Guinness: One Man's Longest, Fastest, Highest Journey Inside the World's Most Famous Record Book, the new book by Larry Olmsted about the history and culture of the Guinness World Records book. After reading his review I snapped up a copy and it is great--very entertaining and a fun read! I have read the record book for years but never ... Read More:

I have studied all aspects of Tort, Family, Business, Criminal, Property, Land, Contract Law and Civil and Criminal Litigation at Level 3 and every word I have wanted to look up has been in this dictionary. It has been my life line throughout my studies. A must have for all law students at every level.

3."Have You Seen...?": a Personal Introduction to 1,000 Films Including Masterpieces, Oddities and Guilty Pleasures (with Just a Few Disasters) by: David Thomson September 25, 2008

"Early on as I watched films and tried to read about them, I found that I valued broad comments on the medium...more than intense and reverend scrutiny of particular films composed by critics who treated a Nicholas Ray film as if it might have been a sculpture by Bernini, or Hamlet." How odd that in the month that Sight and Sound (in its Who Needs Critics issue) includes this comment from David Thomson, his new book is published, a book that consists of "a personal introduction to 1,000 films" or in other words a not quite reverend but certainly intense scrutiny of particular films. Having made that snidey point, what does the book do and who is it for? Well, each of Thomson's chosen films has one page to itself and approximately 500 words, ... Read More:

4.QI: The Book of General Ignorance by: John Lloyd, John Mitchinson October 05, 2006
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £12.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £4.76 You Save: £8.23 (63%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £1.95
I really enjoyed reading this book and found it more than "Quite Interesting". Unfortunately though, if you are an avid fan of the television series like I am it offers nothing new. Most, if not all, of the material is taken from the series.

5.The Perfect Christmas by: Anthea Turner September 04, 2008
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £16.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £10.19 You Save: £6.80 (40%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £13.00
The look of this book and the premise behind (and the other reviews!) convinced me to buy it. And I am (frankly) a little disappointed. If this was the first Christmas that you were putting together then I can see the appeal, but I can't say that it's really inspired me. Many of the suggestions are, quite honestly, a little obvious. Maybe that is what this book is about, and I've missed the point - I wanted pages of gorgeousness sprinkled with lots of ideas for Christmas. Anthea has included numerous projects, very few of which inspire me (putting your old glittery brooches on the Christmas tree when you've run out of decorations). Her recipes aren't up to patch of someone like Nigella Lawson (and neither would I expect them to be), and the decorating/crafting/wrapping ideas ... Read More:

6.101 French Idioms (101... Language Series) by: Jean-Marie Cassagne, Luc Nisset January 01, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £3.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £2.35 You Save: £1.64 (41%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £1.00
I'm not a French speaker or learner myself, but bought this as a gift for a friend who is tackling the language. I'm sure they'll enjoy it as it's quite fun compared to the dry language texts I had to wade through at school. It's interesting to see that some French idioms are quite similar to ours but have an unusual slant. For example, where we have 'Pushing up the daisies', they have 'Eating the daisies from the roots up'; we write 'Rubber cheques', and they write 'wooden' ones (like taking a 'wooden nickel'?). Others are quite surreal 'Falling backwards into apples' sound quite painful, but to the French this is a soft landing. Although it's amusing, the text is scholarly enough to be useful to the serious student and the cartoons are excellent. You can't argue with the price either: ... Read More:

9.Bailliere's Nurses' Dictionary: for nurses and health care workers: For Nurses and Health Care Workers (Dictionary) by: Barbara F. Weller April 12, 2005

I am a Paramedic & find this to be an invaluable reference that is small enough to be carried around. It explains things clearly & simply, so would also be useful for the layperson.

10.The Muscular System by: Anatomical Chart Company May 01, 2002
Average Rating: >>More Details		Off The Bookshelf's Price: £3.95 Prices subject to change. Used Price: £5.64
Me = Medical student, and this anatomy poster really hit the standard for me. I thoroughly recommend the Anatomical Chart Company's posters, which are very high print quality, at full anatomical detail (and split into layers such as muscular, skeletal and visceral). It's by Lippencott, so if you're a medic, nurse or someone who just really wants to know anatomy (as well as looking uber-clever with such posters up in your room) this is what you want. The print is clearly labelled, using standard anatomical terminology (no wierd latin), and is in full english (I bought another anatomy poster via Amazon which was a quarter English :-( ). Text is clear in relation to muscle systems and side portions look at posterior abdo wall, and hands/feet too. The price is decent considering what ... Read More:
