Rick and Morty vs Dungeons Dragons Patrick Rothfuss Jim Zub Troy Little Books Reviews
- I loved this. I think it's a must have for any D&D player that also loves Rick and Morty. I also think it would be great for Rick and Morty fans that want to start playing D&D, but aren't sure where to begin. It breaks down the rules in an easy to understand way while using the Rick and Morty humor that we all know and love.
- I love Rick and Morty as much as the next cynical millennial on the continent. Tabletop gaming has an even stronger attraction from my heart.
I recommend this story whole-heartedly. It flawlessly nails everything the fans on either side want.
My hopes are that Rick and Morty invade another beloved franchise, and then bestow upon that tale the love and care with which this one was written.
Buy this. You’ll love it. The world needs more. - I very much enjoy both Rick and Morty and D&D, and this comic hits a lot of the right buttons. The art is great. Having all the alternate covers (which this 4 part comic has a ton of alternates) and character stat sheets included is greatly appreciated. My only issue is some characterization of Rick that doesn't feel very true to his character, but even that doesn't feel like enough to knock off a star. Would definitely continue reading if they ever decided to continue with this crossover.
- This was absolutely fantastic. I was skeptical going in, but the writers did a truly fantastic job of capturing the tone of the Rick and Morty television series while also encapsulating the history and fun of D&D. I would highly recommend this to fans of either (as it may pique your interest in the other) and as an absolute must to fans of both. Great work!
- Big fan of Rick and Morty and Patrick Rothfuss so I got all the individuals when they came out and STILL got the trade. Really amazing story as well as beautiful artwork. Some of the variant covers are amazing. Worthwhile addition for anyone even hesitating because it's just so good.
- Great Quality and Fantastic Art! If you love D and D and Rick and Morty or even either one of the two you should definitely pick this up!
- Being a "mini series", I wasn't expecting too much, but I really liked this. I *do* like RPG and the D&D genre, so that helps. If you're not into that, this is should still be a solid 4-star series for you. If you like D&D, you'll likely agree with me on the 5-star rating I gave it.
- One of the greatest fantasy writers of this time, possibly of all time, meets Rick and Morty. I have been enjoying the Rick and Morty comic saga for a little while now. Couldn’t believe Patrick Rothfuss joined the group. One of my favorite writers and definitely my favorite inter dimensional duo, bring this series to the top. Not to mention the artwork! Beautifully done! Love it!

The first full account of how the Cold War arms race finally came to a close, this riveting narrative history sheds new light on the people who struggled to end this era of massive overkill, and examines the legacy of the nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons that remain a threat today.
Drawing on memoirs, interviews in both Russia and the US, and classified documents from deep inside the Kremlin, David E. Hoffman examines the inner motives and secret decisions of each side and details the deadly stockpiles that remained unsecured as the Soviet Union collapsed. This is the fascinating story of how Reagan, Gorbachev, and a previously unheralded collection of scientists, soldiers, diplomats, and spies changed the course of history.

"I picked up this book after reading Hoffman's Billion Dollar Spy. This book, which won the Pulitzer Prize, is an extrememly gripping account of the of The Cold War during the Reagan administration and the Gorbachev years.
This is not a academic treatment of the subject, not a comprehensive account from the end of World War II through 1991. Instead, we are given an account of how the Reagan administration put pressure on the Soviets and the ways in which the Soviets reacted. It is this reaction that really is the chilling part of this fascinating book and gives rise to the so-called "Dead-Hand" that is the title. The best part of this account is that this book not only discusses the pretty well known aspects of the Reagan years, but the Soviet side of the conflict. In the light of years having passed, this is interesting and history not as well known
Having read many accounts of the Cold War because of personal fascinations, this book in some ways has information that I was familiar with, but Hoffman really uses new sources and synthesizes other accounts that still make this compelling reading on many levels.
This is a very worthwhile book if you have an interest in the subject, and frankly, most thinking person should want some idea just how difficult and scary the 1980's were in many respects. I also think that many of the Reagan doubters that really diminish the man will be surprised (as I was frequently) just how resolute and firm Reagan was during this time despite the negative attention he received (and not all of that negative information was organic either - read the book) . This is a very fair account of those times.
Recommended."

Recommended. - This book gives a very interesting look into a particular part of the Cold War nuclear arms race between the Soviet Union and the U.S. But the scope of the book is very limited especially considering its size and from what the title implies. This book has very little to say about the nuclear arms race before the Reagan administration and seems to rush through things after the Reagan leaves office. I think that this is mainly due to the fact that the author was a Washington Post corespondent during the that time and that is what he is most familiar with but it seems very strange reading the detail he gives to Reagan's interactions with the Soviet Union and the way he seems to gloss over the Bush and Clinton Administrations. There is also comparatively little attention paid to the U.S. side of the nuclear arms build up as well as the various schemes that both sides had for dealing with a first strike that they feared the other side would do, The book is named after one of these deterrent measures but the book doesn't really go into any detail on what The Dead Hand actually is and why the Soviets devised this strategy. This is a good book for someone interested in the discussions and negotiations toward the end of the soviet era and it is very informative about the Soviet Chemical and Biological Weapons program but it is not very informative about the overall strategy of deterrence or what was going on on the U.S. side of the race.
- This book contains a LOT of interesting revelations.
David Hoffman does an outstanding job of explaining how the Soviet Union's hierarchy RESENTED the fact that they were so weak, and so vulnerable, and so inflexible.
They did not want to be resisted. It was as though they had a right to world-wide domination and they knew they were too weak to resist any kind of criticism. Amazing.
They knew their top-down command and control system, which they demanded, failed to provide basic essentials for the people of the Soviet Union. Gorbachev KNEW it. Author Hoffman discusses it at great length. But they absolutely refused to relent and instead tightened up their controls, increased the corruption ... and every time they ratcheted down, it made things worse and worse and worse. And the controls were so costly, that they eventually bankrupted the country. But they demanded more and more controls.
[Slightly off topic ... those controls were exported to Cuba and to Venezuela ... and had the same effect. Today in Venezuela, they are rationing water!]
The details of the shootdown of KAL 007 demonstrated that their interceptor force was incredibly clumsy; they were unable to coordinate, they were unable to verify what they were targeting and for such a large country, their airplanes had a very short range. If you look at an airliner or a photo of an airliner, the airplane's registration number is painted at the back end of the fuselage and low. The reason for the seemingly peculiar location is that if the airliner somehow shows up on radar as an "unknown" [a bogie], then an interceptor is supposed to fly to the unknown plane so the pilot can visually identify the type of airplane and then fly close enough to read the registration number and not alarm the passengers.
The Soviet plane got nowhere near the KAL 007 airplane. The Soviet pilot was unable to make an actual identification.
When American planes intercept unknown airliners, the interceptors go up in pairs. One pilot hangs back a mile "just in case" and the other pilot closes to within ten feet or 20 feet. [These are very skillful pilots.] They have to be able to do this at night and in bad weather. Usually, the plane is an off-course airliner. So, they just back away and return to base. If the airplane is "hostile" or if it is some other country's reconnaissance plane, they could escort it or take pictures [the usual procedure] or shoot it down.
The Soviet pilot just shot KAL 007 down. Never made a positive identification.
The book goes into huge detail on the KAL 007 shoot down ... and how it fed into Soviet paranoia and how that tied in with the development of their Dead Hand "philosophy" and "psychology".
And how the Soviets "assumed" that their paranoia was mirrored by the Americans ... which is was not.
[By the way, the U.S. Air Force used a number of different types of aircraft for interception, including the F-102 of which we had about one thousand operated by both the Air Force and the Air National Guard. There were thousands of pilots trained for the mission, as part of the SAGE system. You can look it up. One of the interceptor pilots ... very skilled ... was a Lieutenant George W. Bush. Interesting. Look up the weapons upload of the F-102 for a reason why Bush never discussed his service. Pilots carrying those particular weapons have never discussed their mission. Check out the detail about the F-102; lots of books about it on .]

Was an advanced civilization lost to history in the global cataclysm that ended the last Ice Age? Graham Hancock, the internationally best-selling author, has made it his life's work to find out - and in America Before, he draws on the latest archaeological and DNA evidence to bring his quest to a stunning conclusion.Â
We've been taught that North and South America were empty of humans until around 13,000 years ago - among the last great landmasses on earth to have been settled by our ancestors. But new discoveries have radically reshaped this long-established picture, and we know now that the Americas were first peopled more than 130,000 years ago - many tens of thousands of years before human settlements became established elsewhere.Â
Hancock's research takes us on a series of journeys and encounters with the scientists responsible for the recent extraordinary breakthroughs. In the process, from the Mississippi Valley to the rain forest, he reveals that ancient "New World" cultures share a legacy of advanced scientific knowledge and sophisticated spiritual beliefs with supposedly unconnected "Old World" cultures. Have archaeologists focused for too long only on the "Old World" in their search for the origins of civilization while failing to consider the revolutionary possibility that those origins might in fact be found in the "New World"?Â
America Before The Key to Earth's Lost Civilization is the culmination of everything that millions of people have loved in Hancock's body of work over the past decades, namely a mind-dilating exploration of the mysteries of the past, amazing archaeological discoveries, and profound implications for how we lead our lives today. Â

"People love to trash Graham Hancock. Hancock has earned a reputation as someone who pushes ‘pseudoscientific theories’. This immediately makes him irrelevant to a large portion of the population interested in archeology and history. His theories are not outlandish. There’s really no one else out there who writes books like Graham Hancock does. If you love mysteries, archeology or history you will enjoy this book. I love reading his books because he presents hypotheses and data but ultimately ends up leaving the questions open ended and for you to decide. He is not a whack job. If you’ve ever heard him speak it is clear that he is very articulate and thoughtful. There seems to be a theme in archeology that ‘history can only be this old because we’ve only found things this old’. Every couple of years a new discovery is made that completely turns the accepted archeological dogma on its head. It was thought for a long time that the Clovis culture was the first significant culture in America. Why? Because ‘we haven’t found anything older, so this has to be correct’. It does not seem hard to believe that people who lived off the land and built shelters out of wood and earth would be hardly detectable thousands of years later. Hancock proposes that civilizations are much older than generally accepted and sites like Göbekli Tepe have validated him. There’s no aliens helping Mayans build temples in this book. His theory that civilizations across the world seem to share similar myths and knowledge does not seem far fetched to me. The human race had to have started somewhere and spread across the globe. Myths and knowledge had to have spread with them. Read the book, take the journey and hear what the man has to say then decide for yourself. You may not agree with all of his points but one thing is clear: Hancock is a very intelligent man who has done lots of research. His books are exciting and very well written."

America Before The Key to Earth Lost Civilization Audible Audio Edition Graham Hancock Macmillan Audio Books Reviews
- I received Graham Hancock’s new book in the mail from the publisher to review a little under a week ago as I write this review. I reached out to St. Martin’s Press back in February and offered to review it and, although I received a polite response indicating that I’d be considered, I was somewhat surprised to actually receive it just days ago, nearly a week ahead of its official release date in the United States (it’s been available in the UK for weeks now). My surprise was that the publisher either didn’t vet my previous reviews of pseudoarchaeology or that they did and were willing to take a chance anyway.
Having provided the above disclosure, let me say that though I didn’t spend money on the book, I will make an effort not to be swayed by the “gift.â€
If you Google the word “pseudoarchaeology†then click the first link, which is probably to Wikipedia, Graham Hancock’s photograph is displayed prominently at the top of that page. If you read this review to its completion, you’ll understand why.
The Book
The book itself is thick. Weighing in at nearly 600 pages, it has 30 chapters broken down into 8 parts. That said, it reads very well. It isn’t dense by any means and, though Hancock references quite a bit if real science, it isn’t overloaded with jargon or technobabble. In fact, Hancock’s writing style is generally very good. I found myself annoyed at some of his writing habits (“the reader will recall…,†etc.) but I wouldn’t expect this to bother most others. For the average reader who isn’t scientifically inclined, Hancock does a better than average job explaining concepts. At least to the extent that he actually understands them.
Hancock begins the book with sections discussing the Serpent Mound in Ohio, the Cerutti Mastodon site in California, ancient DNA (aDNA), and earthworks and dirt in South America. Early on, he begins his love-hate relationship with archaeologists as a theme that continues as an undercurrent or sub-plot to his overall narrative. On one hand, he’s clearly enamored with archaeologists and the work that’s been done that suits his own ideas. On the other, however, he’s clearly upset that archaeologists refuse to let him in the club—to give equal deference to these ideas. If you stick to the end of this review, you’ll understand why.
Brother, can you paradigm?
The overall theme develops slowly. Hancock simmers the pot as he slowly introduces each premise he believes leads up to it. But the sub-theme is right there in our face from chapter to chapter archaeologists aren’t to be trusted because they are resistant to “new paradigms.â€
He’s immediately on the offensive and continues through to the end, accusing archaeologists and archaeology as being an institution that doesn’t want change and will ruin careers to see to it that none of it happens. The dead horse he beats over and over is the Clovis first hypothesis. That there were people prior to Clovis is something he says, “archaeologists have recently been dragged kicking and screaming to accept.†As example, he mentions the work of Jacques Cinq-Mars, who insisted years ago that he was finding pre-Clovis materials at Bluefish Caves in Alaska.
“As a result of such attitudes, funding drained away and Cinq-Mars had to stop his work, only to be proved correct, many years later, by a new scientific study…â€
Hancock, p.58
I can’t speak for Cinq-Mars and the extent to which his career was affected by the Clovis-first hypothesis. But, then, neither can Hancock. Archaeologists are people. Some people excel in their jobs; others not so much. The Clovis-first “paradigm†as the fringe are so fond of saying (“paradigm†is a sciencey sounding word) went out of fashion decades ago. Are there still some old-timers clinging to it? Perhaps. But there are some very well-to-do archaeologists who were on the cusp of discovering pre-Clovis back when it was made a part of history.
Here’s how it works scientists obtain data. That data are analyzed and more data are obtained based on new research questions… and so on. Eventually, a provisional conclusion is arrived at—usually when the data reach some sort of plateau or some overriding reason exists to think the data aren’t likely to change. For the Clovis-first hypothesis (it was always a hypothesis more than a “paradigmâ€), older sites were just not yet found. And once they started to show up, there was evidence that peopling North America had to occur after 13,000 years ago due to the small window of opportunity provided by an “ice-free corridor†and lowered sea-levels that created a land-bridge across the Bearing Sea.
Archaeologists, rightly demanded strong evidence before accepting a pre-Clovis hypothesis. This, they demanded of themselves. And they met the challenge. All conclusions in archaeology, as with any science, are provisional. They’re waiting sufficient evidence to either support or revise them as conclusions. Sometimes they’re completely scrapped and something very new takes its place. In the case of Clovis-first, some would say the revision is small. The Clovis culture still exists in the archaeological record. Everything that was found of them is still present. But we now know that there existed cultures before this technology came about. Let’s not forget, “Clovis†describes the technology not the societal norms, kinships, and beliefs of the various peoples that made use of it.
The alternative would have been to simply accept a new hypothesis as a provisional conclusion, willy-nilly and without sufficient evidence. Of course, all would have turned out fine. Pre-Clovis is the correct way to think. But such a slippery-slope of letting just any-old hypothesis in as a provisional conclusion just won’t work. If it wasn’t hard to change a provisional conclusion for a new one, where would the line be drawn? At Vikings in Minnesota? At “bigfoot?†The nephilim? The Annunaki? Polka-dotted unicorns that breathe fire and traded corn with China 25,000 years ago?
Chances are, I lost the average fan of Graham Hancock somewhere between “Vikings†and the “unicorns.†But who gets to draw that line. Hancock would like it to include his own idea. Let’s press on to see why it’s a bad one.
Guilt By Association
I won’t spend any time on the Cerutti Mastodon site here. It has its own problems, but one of them is now Graham Hancock. But I found it interesting that Tom Deméré initially declined to meet with Hancock, then did so with what seemed to be open arms if Hancock’s account is to be believed. It’s interesting because Hancock mentions later in his book that “Egyptologists avoid me†and spends several pages discussing how different factions of the Younger Dryas impact hypothesis were upset that he incorporated each other’s’ material. Apparently a video of Hancock’s was posted to an anti-pseudoscience website and one of the scientists “achieved some unwanted negative-celebrity among his colleagues. He was challenged about the wisdom of hosting [Hancock] and suffered the indignity of wondering about the effect the … video might have on his career and reputation.â€
The recent association of Deméré with the pseudoarchaeological television show hosted by Megan Fox and now the pseudoarchaeological notions of Graham Hancock are likely to do little in helping him win over his colleagues.
Chopping Down a Cherry-Picked Tree
In the final few sections of the book, Hancock returns to North America where he describes some of the earliest known earthen mounds in North America, such as Watson Brake and Poverty Point. Then he heads up the Mississippi River Valley, ultimately to Ohio and the more recent mounds there. All the while describing alignments, the solstices, lunar cycles, astro-archaeological features, and so on. But this is also where he dives head first into specious comparisons between Native Americans and ancient Egyptians. He readily admits he doesn’t think there were any cross-cultural transmissions of information, and that he accepts the “orthodox†explanation that geographic and temporal separation of these two cultures means that they didn’t have the chance to share information.
But it’s after his section on the global cataclysm that only affected North America that he finally comes clean on what his game truly is. He states several times through the book that he believes that there was a “lost civilization†which was a “third party†responsible for the similarities we see in multiple cultures. An example is the constellation Orion seen as relating to the land of the dead in both Egyptian and Native American cultures. Never mind that the constellation we understand to be Orion today, probably the easiest to spot north of the equator. And that it “travels†east to west, seasonally. Or that, the sun coming up in the east is so easily associated with birth and renewal and, as it sets, associated with death and ancestors. The common element need not be a “lost civilization.†It’s already people. Humans. Homo sapiens. The same common element for all of his other spurious correlations.
By this time, I’ve waded through Hancock’s cherry-picked science. I say “cherry-picked†because he avoids a lot of the parts that don’t work for him. For instance, he likes where Raghavan et al (2015) and Skoglund et al (2015) mention the “Australasian signal†among some of the ancient populations of South America. He likes it a lot. In fact, he mentions is many times after chapter 9 where he introduces it. And even though he provides the quote where Skoglund et al clarify that it was the founding population that was more closely related to indigenous Australians, New Guineans, and Andamen Islanders than to other Native American groups, he still missed the significance. Or at least he didn’t adequately share that significance with his readers.
What the Australasian genetic “signal†really tells us is that we should be on the lookout for populations that were fast-moving or small. There’s also as good a chance that this Population-Y (the Australasian population in question) began in Southeast Asia then moved both north toward Beringia and south into Melanesia and Australia and what we’re seeing is where they ended up. Hancock doesn’t share these bits along with many others. They don’t jive with his shtick.
What’s the Gist of It All?
Overall, America Before is presented as a carefully picked set of genuine scientific notions, mixed with a few pseudoarchaeological ideas (like spurious similarities between Egyptian and Native American cultures) in order to set Hancock up for his final pitch. One that he holds back until he thinks he’s won the lay-reader over. His easy-to read writing style makes the reader comfortable and probably sympathetic to him personally. He carefully poisons the well here and there with “the skeptics will say…†etc.
There is much within America Before that I can actually agree with. And there is much that I could “debunk†in this book if I cared to. I suspect the comments below will give me ample opportunity if the Hancock acolytes and cult following (he truly is a charismatic figure with a following) respond. But the reality is, none of the premises Hancock puts forth, even if every single one were correct, would mean that his conclusion is right. He conveniently provides a conclusion that cannot be tested or evaluated by science since it isn’t within the realm of science.
Here’s his conclusion
“My speculation, which I will not attempt to prove here or to support with evidence but merely present for consideration, is that the advanced civilization I see evolving in North America during the Ice Age had transcended leverage and mechanical advantage and learned to manipulate matter and energy by deploying powers of consciousness that we have not yet begun to tap.â€
In short, Hancock believes this “lost civilization†used telepathy, telekinesis, remote viewing, and healing powers to transmit their legacy to the world.
I wondered throughout the entire book what mechanism he would suggest. I honestly thought it would be the power of oral history, perhaps tied to mnemonic devices (figurines, rock art, landscapes) or religious ritual to ensure fidelity.
I was not expecting ESP.

Making a trip to Peru soon marking the beginning of many more adventures to come regarding my visiting of ancient structures. - People love to trash Graham Hancock. Hancock has earned a reputation as someone who pushes ‘pseudoscientific theories’. This immediately makes him irrelevant to a large portion of the population interested in archeology and history. His theories are not outlandish. There’s really no one else out there who writes books like Graham Hancock does. If you love mysteries, archeology or history you will enjoy this book. I love reading his books because he presents hypotheses and data but ultimately ends up leaving the questions open ended and for you to decide. He is not a whack job. If you’ve ever heard him speak it is clear that he is very articulate and thoughtful. There seems to be a theme in archeology that ‘history can only be this old because we’ve only found things this old’. Every couple of years a new discovery is made that completely turns the accepted archeological dogma on its head. It was thought for a long time that the Clovis culture was the first significant culture in America. Why? Because ‘we haven’t found anything older, so this has to be correct’. It does not seem hard to believe that people who lived off the land and built shelters out of wood and earth would be hardly detectable thousands of years later. Hancock proposes that civilizations are much older than generally accepted and sites like Göbekli Tepe have validated him. There’s no aliens helping Mayans build temples in this book. His theory that civilizations across the world seem to share similar myths and knowledge does not seem far fetched to me. The human race had to have started somewhere and spread across the globe. Myths and knowledge had to have spread with them. Read the book, take the journey and hear what the man has to say then decide for yourself. You may not agree with all of his points but one thing is clear Hancock is a very intelligent man who has done lots of research. His books are exciting and very well written.
- Hancock dismantles conventional archaeology and ancient world history in the well-written book. Many will find it more than intriguing, perhaps mesmerizing. Bravo!

- I purchased this for my niece's 8th b-day with an obnoxious amount of gel pens. I wanted to get her something that was encouraging and inspiring because I think it's important for young girls to develop a healthy sense of self. This coloring/activity book was just what I was looking for without being too cheesy or having so much positivity it is vomit-inducing and unrealistic.
- As a mobile therapist, I require a huge library of coloring books for boys & girls alike. This has been one of my most popular among my kiddos! As a therapist i love the inspirational quotes & bold designs, making them awesome pieces for kiddos to display at home or in their lockers proudly. Appropriate for all ages & coloring abilities. I love them myself too ) pages are blank on the back, leaving room for drawing & name signing if need be.
- I got this book for my 11 year old daughter. She hasn’t received it yet, but I know she will love it. I as a mother absolutely love it. I love how positive the coloring pages are. There is also a positive quote on the back of each page. I may just have to purchase one for myself.
- Bought as a Christmas present for my 8 year old niece who is already struggling with hating her freckles and strawberry blonde hair. I hope when she sits down to color, she reads the message and takes it all in. She's too young to be struggling with self images already, I hope this coloring book empowers her!
- I like other books from this author. But I no not like this one. I do not like anything about this particular book. I wish I could return it.
- I had hi hopes for this coloring book. It seemed to have good messages for girls. However, the pages shown in the photos are the best pages. The rest of the book is not that great, it is just okay.
- Love these coloring books. Graphics are large enough for young hands and colored pencils. Designs are fun and great for kids.
- Empowering slogans for girls. some easy and some more complex designs.
My 4 years old daughter loves it and can sit for a long time enjoying this activity.
We especially had a great time together filling the page of "you are..." with wonderful positive characteristics and behavior. We all enjoyed it.

Machinery Handbook Large Print Erik Oberg 9780831130923 Books Reviews
- Update 7/30/12
I have received my new copy with the improved paper, and have uploaded a photo of the same page as my previous book with the lesser quality paper. You can see that there is a significant improvement in the opacity of the paper and a reduction in the amount of bleed through from the following pages.
Is it as good as my 24th edition? It's close, but no.
Is it good enough for daily use? Probably.
The text has gone from unreadable in the first printing to tolerable in the second. I've spent quite a bit of time today looking at various pages, and while distracting, the text from following pages doesn't completely overwhelm what you are trying to read. We shall see over time, but for the moment the larger text wins out over the tiny text in my 24th edition. The large print book will be kept with me at work and my old book will go in my toolbox at home.
Use your own judgement before buying this book. Take a look at the photos I have uploaded and see for yourself if the bleed through is more distracting than you can accept.
I've changed the number of stars in the review from one to three. The book should still be more readable considering its use.
==============================
Original review
Twenty years ago, I bought the 24th edition after graduating from college. It has served me well over the years but I wanted to give myself a treat this year and buy the updated version. I went with the large print since it was going to be my last one, and I wanted to make it easier on my eyes to read it later in life.
I had read that the pages were thinner in the last few editions making it more difficult to read, but I decided to buy it anyway. How bad could it be? Well, I found out how bad. With luck, will publish my photo on the product page and you can see for yourself how thin the pages are. You can see the back of the page clearly, the front and back of the next page, and sometimes even the next page! This book is vastly more difficult to read than the 24th edition I have, and despite having some additional information I would like to have at my fingertips and the larger type, I just can't keep this book.
What good is a reference book if you can't read it? What good is having super thin and super delicate pages on a book that you will use the most?
Please, do yourself a favor and find a good used book. The information hasn't changed much, and your eyes will thank you. - The information in this book is a must for the amateur machinist.
However, the quality of this book I received makes me think twice. My book was purchased brand new but it looks like it has been sitting for a while.
-The binding and glue is coming undone without ever having opened it (Pictured)
-Some of the pages aren't stamped with a radius correctly at the corners and some pages are stuck together. (Pictured)
-5% of the pages are creased (Pictured)
-Most of the pages have ripples from what looks like it being compressed for too long (Pictured)
I would be fine with everything if the binding wasn't coming undone. This book will not last in a shop and the pages WILL come apart. I will be getting a replacement and hopefully its better.
I will update.
UPDATE 8/11/17
Received 2nd book (Last Picture). No creasing, no mis-stamping. Same issue with binding coming undone. Really disappointing. Really wish I would have got the digital one. - Content is always going to be 5 starts, no doubt about that.
It is the same darn thin pages that made me give this a 2 star.
One would think after the fiasco with thin pages in the previous version, Industrial Prints would have figured not to use the same thin paper in their latest 30th edition of the book... This isn't the case. I've attached a picture of the same page used in a review in the 29th edition of this book titled "Please see photos before buying this book" by G. James on February 22, 2012
It is evident that the pages of this 30th edition is as bad as the old version of the 29th edition. - I swear by this book. Granted I haven't had many editions in my possession but everything I have to look up on the Internet for my job as a mechanical/process engineer is 98% in this book. It takes almost all textbooks I've had for my degree specific classes and compacts the information into 2800 chock filled pages. It will soon be filled with stickies and post its for critical info areas. Equations, stress, strain, deflection, material selection, grades, fasteners, gearing, cross section analysis, conversion tables, machining processes, it's all here. It has earned a permanent spot on my desk at work. I use it every chance I get.
Shell out the extra bucks for this thicker page version as I've heard bad things about how bad the page bleed is from the original edition. Every mechanical, design, industrial or process engineer or machinist should have this book on hand!! - Bought this for a good friend who is majoring in physics at a university. At some point, I told him, he'd need this to help him interface with the physical world. (He already has the CRC Handbook of Physics and Chemistry, so that wasn't a possibility) I decided on print rather than electronic or a combination; for people like him and me this is entertaining reading and the print version leads to stumbling into new information whenever you open it. There's really no replacement for this book If your passion or profession or just interests run into machine tools, processes, materials, etc., you owe yourself a new or used copy.

- Are you buying your kombucha or kefir at a store? How about bone broth? Apple Cider Vinegar? Think you can't make these, or have to make them by the boatload? Out of ideas for your garden excesses?

- The Farm Girl’s Guide to Preserving the Harvest is amazing! It’s filled with information on every possible area of preserving healthy and delicious food for your family. There is no fluff, this is solid information that real people can put to use.
- I used to love canning and preserving food when I was a new mother. Not sure why I stopped, but it’s been awhile and I saw this title and figured it might spark the interest again. It did FAR more than that and opened up more doors and things for me to try.
A good overview many ways to put food up, this book makes it simple and provides recipes as well. It’s not just jellies and pickles, this book covers Ricotta, fruit roll ups, jerky, kombucha, Apple cider vinegar, Irish cream, and more.
A solid book for the amateur as well and experienced cook. Looking forward to getting a hard copy and putting up some of this Summer’s bounty. - #TheFarmGirlsGuideToPreservingTheHarvest #NetGalley
Great book for new or seasoned persons who want to learn about preserving food. Many useful tools, some you may know, some you may not. Everyone could learn something from this author.
I received an advance reader copy in exchange for a fair review. - Best canning book around!!
- This is well laid-out, clear, concise and also beautiful. Now there are only two of us and we live in the city but oh, I so wish I had such a book when I was young.
Everything is explained. All of those things that died with so many of our grandmothers. Every list is available of how much to buy to be able to can a certain amount. I mean just everything is here. The pictures keep the reading flowing and the organization makes it as easy to use and it is easy to read.It's like a garden bible.
I think this should be on any cook's shelf if they have a garden or even buy produce at the farmer's markets each summer. It is a good book to begin to call a stand-by. This is just so interesting and even though it may no longer be the way I live or cook, it is something I loved reading.
This book was given to in exchange for an honest review.
