One Hand for Yourself One for the Ship: The Essentials of Single Handed Sailing Review
Average Reviews:(More customer reviews).I stopped buying Tristan Jones books because I felt there was little substance to them and some fabrication added to help sell them to the publishers. All the books are skimpy fast reads. I hope my opinion is changed, but I'm unwilling to invest in any more of them to find out.He has a some of good...

Hot Rod Horsepower Handbook: Big-Block Chevy (Motorbooks Workshop) Review
Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This a lot of magazine articles from Hot Rod. Overall I like this book and gave it four stars. I like it better than the HP books "Big-Block Chevy engine buildups". Some interesting information here but not a how to book by any means. Many builds are not documented well enough to reproduce and others...

Building 4.6/5.4L Ford Horsepower On The Dyno Review
Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)The basis for this book is showing you before and after comparisons for a particular modification.

The book contains mostly engine dyno numbers, so you...
Vintage Cars (Five-View) Review
Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Very nice pictures of a variety of cars. Not artistic photos like Dennis Adler presents, but clear photographs against a blank white background. Not a lot of substance in the written material, but the photographs are worth the price of admission.My one criticism involves the rather broad choice of cars....

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This is probably the pre-eminent Arabic-English/English-Arabic Military Dictionary in the world. The terms are very well researched. Many dictionaries misuse military terms just in the source language, which means the translation will never be accurate. This dictionary uses terms which are standard or...

Xpath and Xpointer: Locating Content in XML Documents Review
Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)O'Reilly books are usually a good choice for a professional to learn a concept in an effective way. However, this book is an exception. If you think XPath looks difficult, it is just because this book makes it _seem_ difficult. Read the official W3C specifikation instead and you will see how simple XPath...

If you have in mind building your own motorcycle and have never done it before, this book lets you know what you are going to have to think about.
