5.0 out of 5 stars excellent playlist, July 22, 2007

By	Mia H. Sullivan - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This little book turned me on to some music that I hadn't heard before. It also contains good mix suggestions for different occasions. I always enjoy listening to the world cafe, because of the variety of music David plays.

4.0 out of 5 stars Easy to Carry!, July 4, 2009

By	C. Satterlee "craftyfox" (Midland, TX USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book has some great playlists along with the great advantage of its size. It is small enough to tuck into a shirt or pants pocket. If you have wireless capabilites on your player or phone, you can use it to create playlists on the go. My favorite playlists so far are the "Summer" playlist, the "Road Tripping" one, and the "Blues had a Baby and Called it Rock and Roll" playlist. Each playlist tends to mix oldies and more modern classics. If you have eclectic tastes for good music from all decades, this is the playlist book for you.

4.0 out of 5 stars Cool, but not what I wanted, August 16, 2008

By	Amber Straight - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This little book is pretty cool- its tiny and fits right in your pocket and is really easy to navigate- but after I got it I realized it wasn't what I wanted. I kept it anyway, just because it a fun thing to have.
