Yes, this is not an advance book but rather an introduction to those who are green in this field. If gives the beginner enough info to get started in this field. It works as an entry level. If you are well versed don not get it but if you are just getting started go for it.

After thinking about sitting for the LEED GA exam, I have used this text as a beginning point. It is well organized and indicates specific focal points required for passing the LEED exam. The outline formatting seems a bit busy does outline key topics and forms a checklist for further research. Overall, a good beginner book for interested professionals new to the LEED exam process.

This reference makes a good starting point for beginners...It has lots of info.

However it does tend to be long winded and in my humble opinion it lacks the cutting edge advanced techniques that will make you a star email marketer.

That said, one has to walk before they can run and this guide IS an excellent starting point for one to to learn the basics of email marketing and its advantages.

To the point, short and sweet. For a new seller it is a good first step in the right direction.

This is definitely a good starting point if you are interested in just buying a working business instead of building it from nothing.  If you are just considering it this is a good book to start you out.

If you want a deeper dive and real practical steps you should check out Ace's iTunes podcast "Web Equity Show with Justin Cooke and Ace Chapman", its on Season 3 now and full of insights.

Michelle Dunn provides a very basic overview of what it takes to start a collection agency.  It's a starter book - and is probably most useful for identifying areas for further research, as well as loads and loads of useful links, resources, tips and reference suggestions. After spending nearly a decade in the ARM industry, I've come to recognize just how challenging it is to stay on top of the latest trends, legislation, regulation and techniques.  Some of the specific data in the third edition is already out of date, but Michelle does a nice job of identifying key sources for updates (as well as a caveat that it is all subject to change).  The book is probably a bit too basic for an industry veteran, but is worth the freight as a reference and referral source.

Woodworking is one of those romanticized hobbies you see and you want to try, but rarely do because you don't know where to start. I think this book can help.
The book is not so much about projects, it is more of a general guide for beginners. It describes everything a beginner must have, from tools and proper light to types of wood and screws. The author included one project, a box, but it does not have pictures and it is not very detailed.
Other than that, the guide is very good and it is a great starting point.

For the novice, this is a good starting book and reference.  I would combine this with "What fish don't want you to know" for a much better overall understanding of the technical points and basics (in this book) and how and where to apply them (in the other book).

I had already breezed through PostgreSQL prior to having read this book. I do think though that if you want to simply install and then use PostgreSQL as opposed to administering and managing it, this is a good starting point. I do recommend this book for everyone because sometimes you do want a quick survey of a technology before you go in-depth and this book does a great job on that count.

If you are just starting out in the world of online business this book makes for a good first step. At only forty pages it is simultaneously accessible, digestible, and a bit lacking in depth. There's a strong and broad swath of links inside this little one-dollar guidebook. Think of it like a signpost to outside sources that can take you farther on your journey toward self-employment.

it's short, but sometimes you can appreciate short. This book is brief but gets to the point, you won't find much padding here just a general construct of ideas which refer back to the purpose of this book. This is an excellent starting point for one attempting to immerse ones self in todays eCommerce world.

This is a good starting point for working through real issues.  But no deep resolutions are simply formulaic.

I found this book to be a good starting point on way to making money in small apartments. I wish the case studies would have been a little more thorough. They seem to only cover a portion of the story that relates to the immediate point. I would love to see a few case studies that take you from the initial prospecting of the deal all the way through closing. Overall, this book gave a good overview into the world of small apartments, but lacks the detail necessary to fully understand how to differentiate a good investment from a bad investment. Finding a book with more detail will be my next step. Thanks.

If you haven't begun on this journey this is a good start. I found it to be very basic and common sense. Glad I didn't pay for this. You can find this info on every free blog out there.

As the review title says, this is a good starter book for people interested in serial killers. It gives you a good sampling across the board of less known and more noteworthy killers. The information here might not be as in depth as some of the other publications on the topic but its a good starting point without being overwhelmed.
