If what you're looking for is a concise yet very useful guide to the Western Pacific Islands, here is it. I used it in conjunction with other guides and found that it stands on its own as a comprehensive refernce source. Good buy.

As a first time user, I found this guide very helpful and easy to follow.  I particularly appreciated the pictures and outlines 1,2,3, etc.)  So many manuals are impossible to follow so I was very happy with this one.

Cuts straight to the chase and lists the websites with a clear concise description of each one. Could use a little proofreading in places, otherwise a very helpful book.

This a great guide! Not overly confusing or hard to follow. Very easy and not overcomplicated. Thank you for breaking it down and making it helpful!

This ebook is a very nice, concise introduction to iOS6. The material is well presented, in a succinct way. It has helped me make the transition from iOS5. I am an experienced Mac user and didn't need very much guidance. If a more detailed guide is needed, get another book.

Matthew Henry's Concise commentary is exactly that "concise" and to the point when it comes to explaining the books of the Bible. A very good study guide.  I have recommended it to several of my friends.

Quite an enjoyable little read (well as well as little business books go.)
It's short, concise, and to the point. It's well organized and has a lot of good advice for every step of the process. From organizing management to legal affairs it has a little bit of everything covered. I would view it as a good intro to the world of starting a business. An intro to be further explored with later reading.
The most useful part of it is probably the checklist inside. A very good tool to have

This guide manages to be accessible and concise in its explanations while also being fairly comprehensive and encyclopedic in overall scope. The focus on key points (e.g. beat matching) is very good. The author also dives into the issues that a professional DJ needs to consider. For example, he offers sample checklists that any jobber needs to insure are complete before leaving his/her driveway. On the other end, if you want to just learn how to mix up a couple tunes for your party mix, he shows you how to do that, too. You do NOT need to read the book cover to cover to do basic tasks - you can skip around using the excellent table of contents.

The only reason I didn't give it five stars was that I would have preferred it to be a bit more illustration heavy and text light. That said, I still like and use it.

This 33 page book is concise and to the point with excellent tips, good websites and reliable information.  Heather Hart speaks with the voice of authority, and you can tell that she has really been there, and done most of the things she suggests.  This is a hands on book with lots of very useful information for the self published author who is just beginning to learn about marketing.  There are some great tips there for those of us who have been on the road for awhile as well.  Thanks for a good book.

I was concerned because the publication date was pretty far in the past, but I still found the guide to be pretty spot-on. Wish I would have had this one when I was developing and opening my restaurant. Nice, concise guide, but with enough detail that it's more than just an overview.

This is a very on the eyes travel book as compared to Lonely Planet, though I am also a fan of LP travel books for their informative guides.

The contents are very succinct and straight to the point, letting readers know of the brief of the place without overwhelming you with information and has a walk map (easily picked out from the book - just flip to the Green pages), that you can choose to roam about.

Very careful lay-out for quick references while on the road, with little inside information jumping out at you with the colored boxes and bold 'Insider Tips". No doubt there are page wastage in the book, but it has a very clean look. Of course, being National Geographic, there are some great photos in the book. :)

Go for it if you are having a quick trip to Brazil and want to experience the place rather than explore the country.

This guide is very succinct, affordable, and accessible.  It's not at all comprehensive, yet is still one of the most useful guides to the region due to its brevity and organziation.  Plus it covers both Sequoia/Kings Canyon and Yosemite.

Planning:  A nice job is done.  There is a lot of detail on roads into the parks and hotels, information lacking in the more specialized hiking guides.  It covers most of the big park highlights you don't want to miss if you're only visiting the region once or twice.  This is not the sort of guide that will tell you where to find solitude and remote regions.  It is also one of the best guides to have if you don't want to rough it the entire trip.  I like to space long backpacking treks with a visit to a nice restaurant-this guide offers a lot of variety on this end.  The same goes for hotels, if you're not into backpacking or looking for a place just after getting on/off a plane.

Hiking Trip Descriptions:  Pretty minimal.  This book spotlights the more popular trails but does a fairly decent job of highlighting don't miss items.

Maps:  Non-topographic but highly readable.  The printing is crisp and highly readable.  Useful for planning short day trips.

Overall this is a pretty useful guide.  As the price is great you can easily buy this to supplement a more specialized hiking guide and map.  Note that Frommer seems to put out a new edition every couple of years.  I don't think very much could have changed, so an older edition will do just fine.

Very direct. Great excerpts for concise explanation, in the "Strategies" sections, of what to do. I like the size of the book, it's not a full size, clunky text book, I could pack this book everywhere! Also, it's easy to navigate.

A very cute book. Concise and to the point, a good if very brief overview.

Found this a very useful and easy read. As the Surface has no instructions that come with it I was happy to see a Kindle version of this guide available. Well written and helpful guide especially for people like me who don't have much experience with windows 8. (I'm a Mac user).
