Superb, March 4, 2003
Another first-rate paper doll book from Tierney, this time of the first family. All of the clothes are marvelous, but nothing says "oderint dum metuant" quite like stack-heeled cowboy boots with a tux.

Smith and Stybbard have written a gem in this book. It's certainly helped me to take control of my dog's idiosyncratic toilet habits. My pug Grendel now dances to my tune, be it on walks, in the garden or merely impressing friends and family. A word of caution - take care when choosing your "command words" and "smart phrases" to avoid words your dog is likely to hear on the television. It took 4 episodes of Ali McBeal before I realised that my "full evacuation" command was in the theme song.

Superb, September 10, 2002
A fascinating eye-opener and a book which has transformed the way I view lovemaking. Quite frankly something needed to be done to resurrect the physical side of my marriage which has been blighted in the main by my PE, and Caprio's guide seemed the perfect start. As the author makes clear, lovemaking is an art - an art whose media are the body AND the mind, with the lover as artist. I have every confidence that reading this guide will lead to a happier love life for my wife me, and will help me move on from my frustratingly Pollockesque form of abstract expressionism.

Yeah, September 1, 2002
A superb guide to turbocharging your writing. It really works, and I can do little more than echo the praise of my fellow reviewer from Tianjin.

As a servant of the Lord (part-time ministry) and a father I recognise the need to understand today's youth culture - and this discussion guide is a handy primer. I refuse to go along with the naysayers who talk of a general "dumbing down" - i rather think of it in terms of a fundamental shift in the way young people think nowadays. Sure, even I might not have heard of Pascal's Wager when I was 17 like my son; but I certainly wouldn't have thought that "he" was an adult entertainer. Neither is "Otempora Omores".

Grohol and Zuckerman have compiled a wealth of data on all aspects of mental resources available online. From scientific research material for professionals to self-help sites for the layperson to FAQ fright-sites for specific disorders, this book covers it all. A worthy effort by the authors indeed, though I have not been able to get any of the links to work.

Excellent, August 6, 2002
I superb guide and an ideal primer for the practising astrological counsellor. I found the tips well thought-out and easy to put into practice as I take the first steps in my new career. Some of the advice Rose gives is at times hard to swallow, being a conservative skeptic at heart, but I have a dogged streak and with her help I'm sure I can make a decent fist of things.

Tremendous, July 6, 2002
Trying to shield our children from the pervasive obscenity of modern culture is a more-or-less full-time job as any parent knows. Thank goodness therefore for this sensitive and helpful guide to responsible parenting. Sometimes the old ways are best: when my own dad caught me smoking when I was a teenager, he sat me down at the kitchen table and I wasn't allowed to get up until I had finished the entire packet. That worked, after a fashion. I tried a similar approach with my own son Jonathan when I recently found a stash of porn videos in his room. I believe he found the 9 hour marathon viewing as uncomfortable as I did, and I have high hopes of weaning him of this filth.

As treasurer of a small obesity support group with charitable status I am always looking for ways to raise funds, and at times it's a real drag. But this book really does put the "fun" back into fund raising. Financially we're having the best year ever, and that's not even counting this Autumn's Butter-Chug, which should be good for £1000 after expenses.
