Incredible Value - Not to be Missed
Previously a full set of all of Stravinsky's work was well over $200 and since that version is out of print, it sells for far more now. Where can you get 22 CDs of music for around $30? I am thrilled with this set, although there is just one small booklet with very little material in it. A nice plus is that each CD jac...

Great Value - Indespensable Music
I coveted this set when I was younger . As I recall it was close to $200. I bought individual items through the years, including L'Histoire , Mass, Symphony of Psalms. To have these all together is a true treasure. Minor complaint is a lack of notes ( at least a web link to annotation would have been nice ) and a gener...

Truly Essential Stravinsky....
...but why couldn't they re-master them? Having just watched Jewels by the Paris Opera Ballet on DVD, I was curious about his Capriccio for Piano, which was the first from this set I played. This was the music to Rubies, the second of the 'Jewels' which was hilarious, exciting, touching, and what else can I say? Very s...

This Book is Dumb!
This is not a book on Kaballah or anything that will teach you anything about Ethiopia or the Cush Empire but instead this is a silly book written like a dumb soap opera. It is fiction and bad fiction at that!

Is God convinced?
I'm sorry, but this book just doesn't cut it. It's barren of exegesis and full of emotionalism. Fact: the same word that describes the duration of the blessedness of the righteous is used to describe the duration of the torment of the damned. See Matthew 25:46.

Although this book is written for children, I, as an adult found myself thoroughly enjoying it as I read it. Several times I was aware of the hairs on my neck standing up as I read. I would highly recommend it to young readers who enjoy a good mystery. I am anxiously awaiting a sequel.

Probably would only use this on bass, but interesting
It's a well-made pick, the grip is amazing. Even being really thick, the 'medium' is fairly floppy; similar to any other 'medium' pick's bendiness. So, if you like stiff picks, you may want the bigger one.Using this pick results in only the sound of the strings vibrating causing noise, you lose all the 'pick attack', w...

Rubber picks
I like the way these picks work and sound for both guitar and ukulele. I think that the steel strings on the guitar will tear these picks up fairly quickly, though.
positive

Not what we expected
These guitar picks were not at all what we expected. They are rubbery and bend. This makes it hard to use as a guitar pick, especially for a beginer. This may be a specialty item and, if so, the description of the item should indicate this. We expected the picks to be a hard rubber and not so bendable.

If you like rubber picks, it's great
I tried out this pack of picks and really didn't like them. If you have tried rubber picks before, and you know you like them, go a head and make the purchase. If you haven't tried one, find a music store or a friend who has one and give it a go before you spend money on something that feels as odd as this does.

Pick choice is a matter of taste, but I like these
I have these in both medium and hard versions, and I like the sound they produce on my ukelele. They are significantly thicker than the usual plastic pick, so whether you like them or not will probably be a matter of playing style and what you are used to. But, at the price, it is easy to give them a try.

This series of books seems really to be meant for pre-readers rather than kids who are beginning to read. The stories are very predictable.

My son really struggled with reading and this set really did not help him advance. When I finally came upon the BOB series, that is when he finally had his breakthrough.

What a waste of time!
I was very disappointed in this CD set. Caroline spent most of the time talking about the pit falls of human nature and how wonderful she is as a healer. What an ego! I found myself zoning out so much that I don't even remember most of it. Save your money, but if you must purchase it-get it used.
