I WANT MY ORIGINAL PICTURES!!!
I mean, come on. The pictures in the original 1973 version of the book were beautiful, it was, like in many childrens' stories, half of the enjoyment. But no...buy the original somewhere else. They've just messed an otherwise great book up.

Erotica for sci-fi geeks
This is a collection of some computer geek's wet dreams. The stories aren't even stories, they're just sex scenes. They are extremely bizarre and took a lot of imagination to create, I'll give it that. But the only person I think who would really enjoy this book is the comic book guy from The Simpsons. If you want a re...

Earlier editions of Brewer were better
I remember being unable to put down an earlier edition of "Brewer" (unfortunately, I can't say which one, since I don't have a copy). What it had that the current edition has much less of was an exhaustive collection of allusions to classical literature and mythology. This made it indispensable if you were reading 19th...

Don't get me wrong - it's not a cure or a perfect product. But - for such little money, if you suffer from tendinitis, this support can't be beat. I found it from a fellow golfer who said it was the only one that helped her. It has to do with the unique element that sort of digs into the arm.The great thing about it is...

Not good with long sleeves - doesn't stay in the right place
Futuro makes another version that is like a compression sleeve that extends above and below the elbow and has two forearm pressure points. I find it to be much easier to use. This one goes on fine, then slides down frequently. If I try pulling my sleeve up and adjusting it, it slides down again when I try to get the sl...

Elbow Brace
The Futuro Tennis Elbow Support is a good value. The product is durable and provides good support. One unexpected problem was the width of the product. For Tennis it works well. For lifting and carrying things the thickness prevents full flexion of the elbow and causes irritation by rubbing.

Beginnings of Miles' Best Band
Though this cd cannot live up to the awesome power of Pangaea or Agharta it still is a powerful cd. This is heavy music powered not only by jazz funk but by an otherworldliness that only Miles Davis could create. This is heavily influential on anyone from DJ Spooky to Tortoise. As for the album itself, Dave Liebman can...

Upgrade to Professional version!
These Microplane graters are wonderful, but I recommend the Professional versions instead. If you use your graters a lot, the plastic edges will eventually break, so spend the extra few dollars and get the steel edged Professional versions to start with. I just replaced two graters myself because they broke.

Excellent grating surface. Plastic frame and handle came loose within a few months, then the plastic frame just came apart within a year.I'll be going pro.

This is another high quality item from microplane. I use this regularly. Its quick and easy to pull out and grate some cheese.

Michael Jordan of Jazz
Kirk Whalum is truly the Michael Jordan of Jazz. His worst music is better than most artist's best. This is a very good CD, but not really the Best of Kirk Whalum. From hearing his new CD, I have a feeling that the best of Kirk Whalum is still coming. Still, I would definitely buy this CD again.

Kirk Whalum is one of my favorites, but this CD jeopardizes his current releases.

I bought this attachment for my Bosch 2100UC vacuum and it works very nicely on my hardwood floors. It's well made but not too expensive.

Strong??? Nope... this one just doesn't cut it
This tool attracted me at first because of the concave shape of the jaws. My current cable cutter is a basic straight edge cutter, and it does the job well, but sometimes the cables slip out of the jaw since the blades are straight. So, with this curved jaw, I was pretty excited (as one can be for a hand tool).My tool ...

Nice quality tool
I only tried a few test cuts, but upon examination of the tool, it's definitely a good quality cutter and you can't go wrong with these. The only drawback is it's slightly smaller than the typical 9.5" cutters sold by Channellock or Greenlee so I would imagine you won't get as much leverage using this 1 inch shorter cu...
