Volume II is equally great!

I'm in the process of studying for my board and came across this book.  I've purchased several books to help the process and have found this book different than others for the following reasons:
1. Layout of information - ease of reference
2. Conciseness and thoroughness - makes looking up and quick scanning for specific info
3. Industry experience - real-time, practical experience in which the book is written where it can be applied on the job
I would highly recommend the book for anyone looking to pass the board.  This will now be my go-to book not only for the board, but for everyday use.

If you have seen volume 1, then you know what you are getting.  Volume 2 is just as good.  Only bad thing I can think of to say about it is it's not presented in true widescreen.  If you are viewing it on a widescreen tv there are black bars at the top, bottom, left and right - if you have a tv or dvd player with a zoom function you can use that but you'll lose some image quality.  Otherwise this is a great set, PBS really knocked the ball out of the park - as far as lighthouse documentaries go, I've seen none better.  I only hope they consider re-releasing these in hi-def anamorphic widescreen soon.

The second volume of selections from 'Boardwalk Empire' is equally as fine as the first.  But how could it not be with the participation of Vince Giordano & The Nighthawks?  Every number is a winner and all of the vocalists securely communicate the spirit of the 20/s.  I have to emphasize that because I wondered how performers like David Johansen and Patti Smith, for example, would perform these songs.  The answer?  Very well, indeed.  It's also a treat to encounter other, possibly more obscure contemporary singers in this collection.  Congratulations to music supervisor Randall Poster and all of the artists.  Put me on the waiting list for volume 3!

I bought this volume as well as the first volume, and absolutely fell in love with the art. I can't wait for the next!

After reading "Days Without Sun" I was eagerly looking forward to volume 2, "Echoes."  I was not disappointed!  Echoes blended without a hitch with "Days".  The characters were like meeting old friends again, even Sid. I especially like the layout of both books, very easy reading in every way.
I'm already looking forward to volume 3.

I very much enjoyed this third edition of 'Muggles and Magic', and it's great to have a new, up to date issue!  I disagree with reviewers who have written, 'This material is all available elsewhere'; that may be the case, but why spend hours searching for it in other volumes, websites or magazines (who has time for that??) when it's all been gathered together for you here?  Mr Beahm has taken the time to compile an extensive volume which gives many interesting insights into the world of HP, the thoughts of J K Rowling and even the HP fan base and their activities!  If you want a manual which covers all topics related to HP - books, collectibles et al - then this is the book for you!  Kirk's illustrations are wonderful and they, together with some great photos, bring extra entertainment to the pages.

Volume 1 and 2 have definately been added to my favorites list. Buy this, you will not be disappointed. I enjoy books with dwarves, elves, magic, swords, castles, pirates, honor and snotty little princes you wish you could slap. This book had all this and more and yes, I enjoyed it very much! Although Volume 2 had a satisfactory very nicely wrapped ending, I believe room was left for a follow-on to this story which I REALLY hope there is. I'll be watching to snap it up should it become available.

This volume contains books nine and ten (out of twelve) of the never flagging Death Note series. Well, guess what? This edition is just as great as the previous; main characters die, new characters show up, I continue to be fascinated by the whole thing.

The story begins to open up a bit in scope as Kira bends the whole world to his will, while choosing a new spokesperson and second Kira. I can see this is all building towards something. Sadly, my favorite shinigami, Sidoh, decides to go home after he gets his death note back, oh well. Want more evidence of how great Obata is? Check out his drawing of Demegawa having a heart attack on page 272 - Ouch! What an impressive work this series is!

I love this entire series and I bought this 3-in-1 just so I could get the extra two volumes. If you loved the first 13 volumes this is definitely worth getting!

Volume II was another thought-provoking, wonderful read.  I couldn't put it down, and I look forward to reading the third volume.

I found this second volume extremely helpful and very rewarding, personally and in my mission. As an extension to volume one, very excellent follow-up. I fully recommend both volumes.

I enjoyed very much Ear Theatre Vol. 1 so I got Vol. 2 and it's fantastic like vol. 1.
If you liked Vol. 1, I promise you love Vol. 2!
If you have not experienced vol. 1 yet, woo... you better go both of vol 1 and 2!
It's sensation for me to have this unique but simple sound.

I really like this series, and this was a great sequel to the first book! I'm eagerly looking forward to future volumes!!

as with volume 1 , volume 2 is a must own for all fans of the old school Horror comic. printed on heavy stock it looks amazing. though it is still fun to read the old yellowing pages of the originals, these collections make it possible for new readers to enjoy these classics without breaking the piggy-bank!  Cant wait for my Cousin's book to come out!

Empire of the Crescent Moon resumes Vlads saga with the author once again excellently capturing and pulling the reader back in time as Vlad faces yet more intensive struggles and maturation difficulties.  Volume one barely holds a candle to this second volume when it comes to vivid rawness.  Graphic text may give some readers pause; however, the excitement carries the reader forward at an admirable clip as the plot develops, and this volume very well set up by volume one plays out a remarkable continuity that leaves the reader looking for volume three to remain on the journey!

This is the second volume of the collected editions of the Age of Bronze comic book.  It reprints issues 10 through 19 of the comic.  As good as&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Volume-1/dp/1582402000/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Volume 1</a>&nbsp;was, Volume 2 is even better.  Eric Shanower's art is beautiful, and he tells the story very well.  He does an excellent job of giving each member of this huge cast of characters a distinct personality.  I can't wait to read future volumes.
