5 | Really good investment of your time and (minimal) money | The author contacted me for an honest review of a free book he gifted me with because I have an online business and have been active on Linked In and elsewhere, asking and answering questions about many of these questions.

2 | Too much attention to graphics, not enough to content. No index. Too many topics important to serious users are not covered. | The pros are color screen shots and many of the basics covered. But not all of them. Time wasted on advanced topics like video when lots of the basics are missing.<br /><br />It's also really clear that this was self-published by an amateur, who either doesn't know how to do a technical book, or didn't listen to the ... | [] | 1911174088 | 1911174088 | AG2ZGWAGJOGZN22KZ6CHW62URNOQ | 1,471,318,506,000 | 1 | true |
5 | Ideology meets it's analytical David - and the giant topples! Yeah! | We didn't always have a broken, dysfunctional political system with hatred and ideology, intransigence and win-at-all-costs, who cares what happens to the country as long as the other party loses power, as our national theme. LBJ was the master of political dealing, but as late at Bill Clinton, some degree of sanity r... | [] | 0990814033 | 0990814033 | AG2ZGWAGJOGZN22KZ6CHW62URNOQ | 1,468,017,838,000 | 0 | false |
5 | God bless the library, LOL. Love these books! | Got this from the library, along with his others, which is why I don't show as a buyer.

These step by steps are more detailed, more encouraging, and more effective than anything else I have seen. | [] | 0939217821 | 0939217821 | AG2ZGWAGJOGZN22KZ6CHW62URNOQ | 1,457,736,592,000 | 0 | false |
5 | You will not only learn to draw these animals, you will learn to draw, period! Love it | I really love this author and the way that he teaches drawing.

The author also shows you, clearly and with examples how to use sp... | [] | 1943158002 | 1943158002 | AG2ZGWAGJOGZN22KZ6CHW62URNOQ | 1,457,736,424,000 | 5 | false |
5 | Excellent continuation of series | The familiar characters do their best to figure it all out, and we have a rollicking good time.

Characters are so ornery sometimes...... | [] | B00BATNMLO | B00BATNMLO | AG2ZGWAGJOGZN22KZ6CHW62URNOQ | 1,450,681,978,000 | 0 | true |

1 | not like the cover -NOT for adults. | Very disappointed. The cover shows a complex scene but the pages are so simple.... I can't give this to my adult sister.

3 | One very stupid conclusion - well-publicized, and made her rep - mars an otherwise good effort. | Macmillan is such a good writer, and indeed a good historian as her most recent The War That Ended the Peace shows, that it can be tantalizing to forgive her for her mistakes. But as another reviewer has pointed out here, and learned folks have castigated her for elsewhere, her most well-publicized conclusion isn't su... | [] | 0375760520 | 0375760520 | AG2ZGWAGJOGZN22KZ6CHW62URNOQ | 1,436,457,010,000 | 0 | false |
4 | Nice character development | Tudor was more directly scheming than portrayed here and Harry Plantagenet wasn't as portrayed but otherwise reasonably accurate.

5 | Great for the intermediate to advanced artist | lee Hammond is always excellent, and this one DOES require you to be at least a minimally-competent drafter/drawer, but that being said - what a great book.

5 | Not for raw beginners, but very good for the intermediate and above | Jumps a bit more quickly into the details than my level of skill can support so I have to save this one until I have the basics more "pat."
