Even though there is a trend toward e-books and tablet computers, there is still nothing like holding a book in your hand. And having a classic of literature and having an early edition would be even better. Now, this might be a little on the expensive side, but having something like this would be really cool.

Most people believe that when you graduate college, you get a job and that’s it. There are some, like myself, who think the real education begins after that, since it is driven by personal desire. There are a few books in this realm of what some call “self-help” and this is one of the standards. You couple this with Dale Carnegie’s “How to Win Friends and Influence People” and you get a pretty decent 1-2 punch in the realm of personal development.

If you want a cookbook that has a recipe for everyone in your household, then you need to grab this book by the Pioneer Woman herself, Ree Drummond.
In “The Pioneer Woman Cooks: Recipes from an Accidental Country Girl,” Ree Drummond provides step by step recipes in categories like Starters (appetizers), In the Morning (breakfast), Dinner (lunch), Supper (dinner), and Sweets (dessert). There are also bonus sections like Sunday Dinner and Cowboy Dinner Party.
You won’t be disappointed… I wasn’t!

My daughter has the LeapFrog Tag Reading System and absolutely loves it; even now that she can read on her own. The Tag Reading System is a well-made toy that offers hundreds of hours of play, a terrific lineup of favorite books, and a different experience every time. While it will never replace reading to children, it is a great way to increase the amount of time they spend enjoying books.

Lone Survivor: “The Eye Witness Account of Operation Redwing and the Lost Heroes of Seal Team 10″ is a spectacular read. Not only does Lutttrell tell you about the mission, he gives his account of what this war is about. Reading this book will give you insight on what it takes to become a Navy SEAL. You will also learn things you may not know about Afghanistan: the people and their differences. The descriptive nature of the book puts many things in perspective.
This book is well written, intense, and has all the qualities a bestseller should have.

The author has illustrated four ways to adopt change and it is us to decide which way we will prefer to adopt. Change is something which we usually don’t want to accept. This is because; we don’t want ourselves to shift from a comfort zone to uncertanity. But, change is necessary for progress and so we must change ourselves.

The content in this book is varied, ranging from war photographs to celebrity pop portraits. There are black and white photos, color photos and some printed in sepia. And many of the photos are printed using different processes such as gelatin silver, platinum, C-type, bromide, photogravure and oil print.
The book is organized in alphabetical order according to photographer name. It is a very straight-forward, comprehensive yet concise, art reference book that would be perfect for any art and/or photo enthusiast.

The Tipping Point offers a unique view of the hows and whys of a viral campaign- the word of mouth epidemic that completely sidesteps years of capital wasted on traditional channels of advertising and creates a quickening that results in what we love to call “over-night successes”.
Does the book give you a step by step walk through of how to become an overnight success? No. But it does give you enough background and case studies to fully understand the movement of the epidemic and a nice view of the key players/elements in creating your own.
The book requires some patience to get through. It must be read slowly and the information taken in one piece at a time. It is highly recommended to people who are interested in case studies and the psychology behind marketing and business leadership.

Like the international version, this book, too, has a little bit of everything. The ‘must sees’ are not going to appeal to everyone. That is made clear in the introduction in both books. After all, not all of us want to know the best places to ski or to sail or to fish.
But if you know what you like, and narrow down to those particular reviews and recommendations, the book is very helpful.
I read it both before and after our northwest U.S. trip. It helped me make decisions on what to see and do and we were not disappointed with the advice.
Whether you’ll just be visiting your own little corner of the U.S., or taking a longer trip cross country, I believe you’ll find buying this book a worthwhile investment.
