There is no in-depth information for taking the next steps in building a great, very large bulk candy route

I found the book to be a help but a hindrance. There is no in-depth information for taking the next steps in building a great, very large bulk candy route. This book, however, is intended for the newbie and how to get started. For anyone that needs a book for that, this is your book.

I think this book does provide good, clear basic instructions for working with the product, but fails to go any further. The photo gallery is nice, but would have been far more useful if the items had been described in terms of what kit or recipe was used to create them! The lack of any in-depth photos of different combinations of products (kits, dyes, nuggets, etc.) means that you are totally on your own when it comes to actually trying the product. The information in the book, while useful, is readily available elsewhere and for free, and if I'd known how minimal it really was, I'd have saved myself the 10 bucks.

The book was good and convinced me that I need to remove unnecessary sugar from my diet.  However, it stopped there.  As I read along, I read that I should avoid this and stop eating that, but I did not know I should be taking detailed notes.  I was expecting the end of the book to summarize what to avoid and provide a big list of what you can eat.  It did not.  There were no lists of good and bad foods and there was not a suggested diet plan.  Now I must read it again and take notes.  And I know even those notes will be lacking.  I specifically remember only one suggestion for breakfast.  What If I want to vary my breakfast away from that one suggestion?  I would have liked a summary and diet suggestions for meals morning, noon and night.  Oh and it suggested specific snacks between meals.  I want a list of what those snacks can be too.

As a beginner, I can see the thought process behind the projects but not enough information to put it into action.  Not sure if I will keep it.

I love making whole grain breads and have been interested in learning more about the process.  One of the things I have really wanted to find in a book on bread baking is some information on the best way to store it once it's been baked.  This book?  Well, it offers copious amounts of information on all sorts of bread techniques, but it completely neglects any details on the "after" part other than a suggestion to eat it.  They even go so far as to have "Storage" and "Packaging" listed in the Index in the back.  Both go to the same page, where it merely contains the following unhelpful commentary:  "Stage 12:  Packaging or Storage:  The textbooks call it packaging or storage, but many of us prefer to call it eating."

And that's it.  So, congrats! You have every piece of information other than what to do with it after it's been made.  I was so mad at discovering that that I haven't even tried any of the recipes yet.

The book is full of details and has measurements in both Metric and Imperial (aka Standard) for everything.  There are lots of color photos demonstrating what each phase should look like (though these dwindle as you work your way through the book, presumably to avoid needless repetition).

If your goal is to make and eat whole grain bread, this book will probably do the trick for you.  If you want to know where to put it afterward, you may need to keep looking.

When I ordered this I expected a big, 4lb box of a great variety of candy that I'd be familiar with like starbursts, nerds, airheads... there's one air head no nerds and no starbursts.  This is a tiny box (I suspect that it doesn't weigh 4lbs) of generic candy, some of the items don't even have a label and I don't know what they are.  Don't waste your money.

This is really useful for getting you around the country and very utilitarian in that sense.  However, it lacks sufficient information about many of the sites (or any in some cases).  This is understandable though, as given how many sites there are, it would have to be a huge book to include info on all of them.  In some sites, you can just pay for a guide, but obnviously that gets expensive after a while.

This is a very pretty and well made guide.  It gives you great location maps and a decent walk through.  It also provides some pretty decent strategies on how to take down the end bosses in the coliseum.  I am no sure if it has good coverage of chain of memories as I have yet to play that game.

However given how long the game has been out I expected far more in-depth information on the additions to the remix version.  I was really hoping for strategies on the new monsters and how to farm synthesis item from them.  This guide doesn't even offer a comprehensive list of all the synthesis items, let alone which enemies drop them.  It also would have been helpful for at least some coverage on obtaining trophies, like the speedster.

This is not the first guide to fall far short of the information provided on the internet, for free.  I would assume there would be no possible way for strategy guides to compete with an ever evolving source of gaming information.  This is why they now offer hard bound guides that remind me more of art books.  In the case of Kingdom Hearts at least the original guide offered cool stickers and a giant fold out poster.

As I said its a good read but no in-depth information. I would like step by step instruction on what to do when in difficulty

Is more or less a shopping list for places to buy things to grow mushrooms. Very little real information on growing. A big disappointment.

I want to like this because the idea is much desired, but it is hard to use for lack of a proper legend or features key, and what's more, the contents are thin.  This gives suggestions of where to go and why, which is valuable, but is not a true guide to flip open when you do see something moving in the wild.

I had high hopes for this as the idea of construction toys geared towards girls is wonderful.  Unfortunately, there is not a lot you can do with this set other than what is shown in the directions.  Perhaps if you purchased all four of the sets available, the child could create their own more in-depth experiments with momentum.  While the paper was a bit more rugged then typical cardstock, it was not what I expected.  Maybe the four sets should be combined and sold for the cost of two (@$20).  I received this to review for free.

Though the walkthrough portion of the guide is sufficient, there are a few areas that lack any of the detailed information I was looking for:

Skill Charts
The only information in this part of the guide that cannot be found in-game is the pre-requisites for each skill.  Even this information is not organized in a very useful manner, presented as text in a chart alphabetized by skill rather than listed as they are in-game.  Detailed information that one would get upon purchasing a skill, such as the strength of each skill or their Action Chip costs, is nowhere to be found.

Materials
The numerous charts in the guide take up many pages, but all lack one very important element: where they can be found!  Instead they've decided to include the short descriptions, which are not helpful in any way.  If a player wanted to farm these materials, they would need to scan through the lengthy bestiary instead.

Stats
All throughout the walkthrough section there are tips regarding what skills to purchase, many times including stats such as vitality, dexterity, etc.  Nowhere in the entire guide is any thorough explanation of what these stats mean, how they effect gameplay, or what advantages one character has over another.

Maps
The maps included along with the walkthrough are exact replicas of the large map you can see in-game, and have no added icons marking treasures, gather points, or larger enemies.  This makes them just about useless.

Though the walkthrough is useful, anyone who wishes to find out some of the more detailed information about this game would be wise to instead reference the White Knight Chronicles Neoseeker wiki.  It is a work in progress, but will eventually have much of the information lacking in this strategy guide.

I am a big fan of Visual Quickstart Guides-I own them for Flash and HTML (3 & 4) as well, and would never give them up! But this guide was disappointing in its lack of depth. Office:mac is a broad suite of software, and I was extremely disappointed that this book fails to include many user tricks. The Visual Quickstart model is well-applied, but only to simple things such as opening files, setting tabs, formatting chart elements, etc. I believe the shallowness is due to its attempt to cover Word, Excel, Powerpoint, and Entourage in a 398-page volume. A VQG for each module would probably have the space adequately to cover the capabilities of the software. Questions I had from using Powerpoint for several months were not answered.
I can only recommend this Guide to those who have never touched a Microsoft Office component before. This is not the ready reference power users are seeking.

You would think a guide that lists individual "must see" stores would automatically include phone number and ideally a website.  But those pertinent details must have got in the way of this book's designer, as there is no way to contact the individual stores without doing your own Google web search first to find out how to contact them. (I spent far too long at the hotel concierge desk tryin got find out how to contact the stores for opening hours,exact location, etc.  Plus so many listings are already out of date .So while this may look sleek, its actually too heavy to carry around, and worse.  Travel guides should first and foremost be practical to the traveller -- and that means light weight with concise design.  I carted this book with me for too long prior to my actual Seoul stay-over, and wish I hadn't bothered.  If this were an App I wouldn't even bother to buy it. The freebie brochures from KTO are much more practical. Globetrotting Gourmet

This book is along the lines of "let me tell you a bit about what I did, but I won't include enough specifics to really help you get there...Sixty of the over 200 pages are for the fiber curriculum. The rest is the carving and high school curriculum." For the fiber pages it gives an OK overview of the handwork curriculum and the ideas behind it from the author's perspective and some great illustrations of finished projects and I would recommend it as a reference for inspiration for a beginning handwork teacher. For the how to's and the nuts and bolts, you're on your own because there is not even a hint of a suggestion in that area. At times, the author remarks that it is essential that such and such is done in a very particular manner, but does not tells hat that manner is, which was disappointing.

There aren't many starter guides to the soft drink business.  For that reason alone, this book is worth reading as a point of departure.  However, there isn't much to it beyond marketing generalities.  There is virtually no information about the nuts and bolts of establishing a soft drink enterprise.  For example, there isn't even a sample licensing agreement.  My impression is that the book was simply thrown together.  I certainly gained no in-depth knowledge of the field from it.
