Highly informative, detailed and educational description of distilleries and products that they produce. Readable format for both the new and experienced whisky drinkers, with descriptions of the charactistics of the regions and the unique features of the individual brands.

In my career as a reference librarian I've examined a lot of reference books on all sorts of disciplines, and this work is one of the best I've seen at thoroughly covering a subject; well thought out chapters covering key issues, specific, practical advice, very clear writing, and a wealth of extremely helpful and clear photographs to illustrate the points covered.

Stedman's "Radiology and Oncology Words" is a superb reference for the radiology transcriptionist.  Having been a full-time in-house imaging transcriptionist for years now, I can vouch for the  comprehensiveness of this fine volume.  I use many references in imaging,  including "Radiology Word Book" by T. Indora and S. Pitman's  "Radiology Imaging Words and Phrases," but I would have to say  that Stedman's is the volume in which the puzzled anatomical reference,  interventional instrument, or medical mnemonic I'm searching for is usually  found.  Additionally, I have found Stedman's oncology section invaluable;  the above-mentioned references are lacking in this very important  field.
The only drawback I can think of regarding this fine reference is  that this edition is July 1995.  A lot of new medical equipment/terms have  evolved since that time.  Still, when compared to the aforementioned  references described above, Stedman's "Radiology" is, in my  estimation, tops.  I highly recommend it.

Logic Pro 9 Audio and Music Production is a superb reference guide for the Logic Pro 9 Audio Production Suite. The book covers the program's basics as well as many more advanced features. The book is very well illustrated with Logic Pro 9 dialogue boxes and popup windows. With the knowledge obtained in this book, you can produce studio quality recordings if you own the Logic Pro 9 suite. You can save large amounts in production costs by doing it yourself. The book has useful information for all levels of Logic Pro 9 users. I very highly recommend the book to anyone that owns or uses Logic Pro 9 Audio.

'Access 2010: The Missing Manual' by Matthew MacDonald is another gem in the line of Missing Manual books. Filled with 800+ pages of material, if you are new to Access or even a seasoned pro, there is a little bit of something for everybody in this book. A fantastic layout, wonderful content, and one of the most user-friendly books out there, if you use Access for any length of time and want to become a better user or are a new user and want to discover how to use Access, this is the ONLY book for you.

An absolute marvel which richly deserves the title 'Missing Manual' as this keeps up with the past quality works expected from this line.

Perfectly organized, well researched, and comprehensive.  A great reference book for innkeepers, which helps us not just strive for excellence, but actually achieve it. And a wonderful research tool for aspiring B&B owners. As a writer, I enjoyed the professional yet fun writing style. As an innkeeper, I took away some great ideas--not the least of which are the sample recipes for a Mediterranean Frittata and a Pear Cranapple Crumble. Yum. This book was a treat on all levels.

Very comprehensive reference guide for any size office.  Has a useful language usage section, as well as tips for meetings, webinars, and PowerPoint.  There is also a computer troubleshooting section as well as an overview of Microsoft Office and Google Docs.

Mike's guide book is excellent.  It is organized, well written, and incredibly informative with many tips and tricks to avoid hours of trolling the internet to find solutions.  It fills a critical void that instruction manuals just cannot provide.  Using this book as a reference will make astronomy a much more pleasurable experience for all Celestron NexStar telescope users.

This step-by-step reference guide is very useful and well done.  I haven't seen the companion DVD, but I'm sure if one also worked with the DVD, the book would be even more valuable.  With the book, you can really isolate each movement.  If one has a question about hand and foot placement, this clears up the confusion.  The preparation exercises and qigong are also excellent.

The subject isn't new to me, but the author has truly put together a useful reference and guide here. I have already added post-it notes to a few pages I'll refer to again (until memorized) and I've highlighted the edges of the case studies areas so I can quickly return to them. Within one day of reading halfway through the book I was taking the advice myself and I already know it will be a hit with my clients.

This guide is outstanding. It is well organized and helps you plan your hike based on park entrance, season, level of difficulty and aesthetics---or all of the above. Also included are outstanding photos as well as background information about the trails. I'm so pleased.

I found this to be an invaluable resource; a thorough and comprehensive step-by-step guide filled with useful detail, suggestions and illustrations of dos and donts.  Miller presents the basic material in a reader-friendly style so it can be scanned for specific aspects and details of each step but also follows with a conversational narrative providing rationales, reassurance and examples from his own career as a CEO and a Board Chair for those who delve deeper.  A good read and also a valuable reference guide for anyone's bookshelf.

WOW! What an amazing reference book! This book is huge with quality information on writing everything from a note to leave on a windshield to a business speech. And there are examples of what NOT to write ... "To the Moron in the Mazda -- Nice alliteration but not likely to encourage cooperation" (page 173).

There are helpful lists of things to do and not to do. There are tips for writing in high school, college, the work force, and everyday life.

This would make an excellent gift for a graduating high school senior or a gift for anyone who enjoys writing.

I highly recommend it.
