You only get the handheld. And when I say ONLY, I mean ONLY. No stand, and even no cable!!! I sent an email to the seller to get the missing parts. I will follow-up on this one.

I'm not dyslexic, but trying to read this book made me question that. The book is a text wall. Headings, subheadings, and spacing are so poorly done that I waste so much time just trying to figure out where I am. Having used First Aid for Step 1, I know it is possible to make a book like this formatted well enough to be easily read.

Even more annoying is the fact that THE MARGINS ARE COLORED YELLOW. Why in the world would they do this? The yellow ink makes it so that your pen doesn't write on the paper. Also, the "quick hits" have some obnoxious, space consuming graphics that distract your eye from the text. We are not Pre-K students, you don't need to make this book look like Highlights for kids.

PLEASE, preview this book before you purchase. You can read a chapter or two on Amazon.com, you will see what I am talking about.

Also, both this one and SUTM are ridiculously expensive.

Spelling is atrocious and word use is beyond belief....

Brash my teeth??
Rales of engagement???  Please!  Just because I am not spending $15.95 for a book does not mean I like inferiority!
Three stars Only because Iike this author.

"Betwixt" sounded like a promising book, until I started reading it. I bought this book because on the book's website it said : "If you love the "Twilight" series by Stephenie Meyer-"(which I completely do!!) "-you'll love this book!! When I started reading it, it contained the foulest language I have ever seen written! It said the "f" word at least six times in chapter 2 alone! (and the chapters are about 20 pages each) along with every other foul word you could think of! I scanned through the book to see if it got better and it doesn't it carries on through out the book. The book might actually have a good story, but when mixed with SO MUCH foul language, it isn't worth reading, it just makes it trashy & very frustrating to read!! Needless to say, I didn't finish the book and I returned it. I don't think I will buy another book by this author, if this is her style of writting. I also think that Amazon should comment on the language used in the books. That would give readers a better idea on what to buy. This is also catagorized as a "Childrens Book" ! I would not suggest this book to any parents for their children.

I bought this through my local campus bookstore, since surprisingly it was a small amount cheaper than amazon.
But let me tell you this the interface that cengage provides is AWFUL! Seriously there are numerous hotkeys and optimized methods for doing things in office, and the developer of this flash based office training doesn't like any of it. Did you just double click on a picture you were trying to insert from a file? HAHA nope you did it wrong, click once on the file then click open. This is good for those who have LITERALLY NO EXPERIENCE WITH COMPUTERS!
The biggest thing for me though, since it is a flash based system no matter how you resize the window it doesn't actually resize the flash program inside, it stays in 720p resolution, meaning if you have a 1080p monitor have fun squinting trying to read the font. If you have any knowledge outside of the bare minimum, by the end of this course you will be filled with nothing but hatred towards the people who gave the flash based portions of this product a green light.

I should have read the reviews! Possibly the worst 'book' of any type I have ever come across. Appalling  use of english only equalled by instruction booklets for foreign-made electrical appliances. Eg 'For some time, norms spread like fire that men enjoys sex more than women.'  HUGE typeface used to stretch the wretched thing out to 70 pages although the useful content could have fitted on a postage stamp. Do not buy it!!

Terrible! It is so cartoonish and unrealistic! All of the furniture and decorations look boxy and unrealistic! The colors are terrible! You can't custom design anything or change the color or patterns. Honestly I was really looking forward to this game and its a HUGE disappointment, whoever they hired for their design team SUCKS! I can't even design a house that is half decent looking.  I hate that you can't customize anything, You can't change the appearance of windows, doors, floors or anything! It's all pre-chosen for you and the patterns and design menu is completely gone.  I loved being able to design homes that looked like something out of better homes and garden, now it looks like a android game, cartoonish and boxy and UGLY! The worlds suck, there are no babys, no dishwashers, no trash compactors, you can't place things on dressers or design anything! I hate this game. I'll be sticking to SIMS 3, in my mind it's more advanced than SIMS 4! They took 30 steps back!!!

The publisher's blurb claims that this "Regency fashion colouring book will delight your senses and inspire your creativity." It will certainly inspire your creativity--because the drawings are so poorly executed that you will to feel compelled to improve them. I am sorry to be so snarky, but what were the publishers thinking??

Yes, I fully understand the concept of creative license. However, when you slap a sentence or two on a page accompanying a stock photo in an attempt to create faux poetry, it is quite dissapointing. I was expecting a book of poems but this reads like a 15 year olds text messages.

This will be the first time I return a product to Amazon because I was simply unsatisfied. Look elsewhere word loving friends.

not overly impressed and considered returning that book, will give it to someone else as a "gift" now.  no perforation wasn't not even a factor for me, the words are good... its the overall content of the images, more like same sh*t different word, little fat marshmallow looking figures on pretty much every page in addition to worms and snake.. nothing pretty to color, nothing that actually takes any skill to color. the little blob characters are beyond not appealing and really do not entice me to want to color in this book when there are sooo many others out there with swear words that have actual picture content... not worth returning and not worth keeping.

Why did I download this?! Do NOT make the same mistake I did...this story was horrible! There are spankings (not the erotic kind), and they call their women "young lady," (like when your Dad scolds you). Total turn off for me.

Omigod this is awful, I mean like awful in the greatbiggobsofgreasygrimygopherguts way, NOT in the "filled with awe" way which someone told me once was where the word actually originated way back in the dawn of time which is when, by the way, you'll feel like you started reading after a VERY few pages of this nerve-jangling opus by a frenetic gen-X (wannabe) blogger who thinks reading her run-on sentences and bled-together paragraphs and mish-mashed chapters in a shrill staccato whine wouldn't actually make the illegitimate offspring of a Frankensteined cross between a woodpecker and a chipmunk hunker down and PRAY for death-by-hoot-owl - I kid thee not. Gratuitous "f-bombshell" and "mother f-bombs" and "lightening bolt vjs" in an effort (failed) to seem edgy or "hip" only make her (successfully) seem as crude and charmed by her own effluvia as I'm convinced she no doubt is. (everything up to this pointis my imitation of her "style", by the way, for those who might have missed the joke!)

Granted, I did the audio book, which adds the aforementioned brittle quacking of the author's voice to her abysmal writing, but I can't imagine it'd be any better from the printed page.... altogether a must-miss...... TRUST ME.

I enjoyed a good bit of this book initially, except for the parts that others have mentioned being unethical (putting up your own reviews or having others write reviews for other books with a link to yours).

I was particularly excited about the book description formatting chapter ...

... that is, until I tried to use it when updating my book description.

NONE OF THE FORMATTING IS ACCEPTED BY AMAZON!  None of it!

No pictures, none of the funny HTML he discovered.  So, the book was a waste of time and money to me, and now it's too late for me to get my money back.

POTENTIAL BUYER BE WARNED!

In my opinion, this book is a complete waste - of money, time, and woods chopped for paper used for printing.
I was about to start implementation of my first multiplayer engine and was looking for a decent source to start from (I am an expert in general game/engine programming). Searching amazon.com I found "exactly" what I was looking for - "MultiPlayer Game Programming". All excited, I plunged into reading about ... the styles of Windows dialogs, the importance of WinMain function, the C-wrapper of Windows Socket. Send functionality, and a C++ implementation of the same wrapper in a SEPARATE chapter!!!
I would not comment on the language the book is written - "confetti falling, and Bill Gates and Steve Jobs starting to dance..." If the book were good it would have passed just fine, but in this case it just makes me furious.
All in all, I highly recommend NOT to buy this "masterpiece". I wish I could get my money back. I also wish I could rate it with "-1" stars...

I can almost guarantee you will be disappointed with this book. I am returning mine today. It has very little content with sparse double- or triple-spaced paragraphs of text and lots of superfluous white space to inflate the page count. The screen captures are a joke. Like the book will describe something in the World Editor and then they throw 4 or more illegible full-screen captures crammed onto a single page (HERE's where they could have used the white space) so you can't even make out what's on the screen and nothing is highlighted to show you what they're talking about. I feel ripped-off and I got mine at a 30% discount.

I would have given it a higher rating however it could have been made slightly wider, as it's a tight fit for the Kindle paperwhite, as I also have to get my book cover for my Kindle wriggled into there.
There was very little choice around for a 100 waterproof paerwhite kindle cover , so I got this. Its completly ruined visually by the compeltly unnecessary writing all around the edges. It's very distracting when you are reading a book.. 100% WATERPROOF is actually written in large caps  4 times all together , twice on the front and  twice on the back, in a glaring green colour.  Then twice again, this time  in white , more boring info. etched  indelibly onto the case telling you it's waterproof blah blah, at the bottom , front and back. The the capper is BEACHBOUY yet again at the top, large white caps. TOTAL OF 7 BITS OF WRITING ON A SMALL PIECE OF PLASTIC.
Truly really stupid.  Proporta and logo appear on the back in small letters, that part is ok. So it's an ugly bag actually , but I guess it will just have to do the job until I find something better.

The words "Whistling" and "Kettle" are plastered across the front of this thing. In Comic Sans no less. They are unremovable and it looks stupid. I tried to wash them off and now its all scratched up (and probably dangerous) where the words were.

Can you imagine if everything you bought had a huge permanent label describing itself? I can. It would be moronic.
