Customer reviews The best game guide I have ever owned by .. Tom Atto (Colorado, USA)
This is a wonderful guide. Long, informative, and it shows you EVERYTHING you need to know to surviving Fallout 3. I never use game guides, but I figured I would give this a shot because of the nature of Fallout 3, and I'm very happy I did. The book feels and looks great, and the fold out poster map is HUGE. The guide is a little confusing to some people at first, with the guide being separated into chapters going from Character Creation to The Main Quest to Side Quests to an Entire Run Though of EVERY SPOT IN THE GAME then the Appendix and finally the Extras section.
The way this is structured means, for example, when reaching the town of Megaton, you will have to read one chapter to do the main quest there, then the next chapter to do the major side missions, then the next chapter to read about all the secrets and such available in the city. Makes sense logically but confuses some people here and there.
Oh and the Extras section is awesome. It shows a lot of concept art in the game so if you didn't get the special editions, you can still see some cool concept work and developer commentary.
Overall a great guide that greatly informs you of everything you need to know in the content rich universe of Fallout.
Awesome collector's item and a pretty good guide too  by .. James Lin (Los Angeles, CA)
This official collectors' guide looks like it's a weathered book straight out of the Fallout universe. It's a must-have for any Fallout fan.
The hardcover is a nice touch, and the paper on which the guide is printed has held up against two and a half weeks of heavy use. At first, I was a little worried about the paper tearing easily, but I no longer think that's an issue. The paper is the same kind that you would find in most paperback novels, but maybe a bit heavier.
The content is very in-depth with diagrams and charts for just about everything you need to know about. The guide starts with detailed tables of weapons, armor and enemy stats. It also goes over S.P.E.C.I.A.L. and skills in detail, giving advice and which skills would actually be the most helpful in the game. There is a comprehensive guide detailing all of the perks and gives advice on which combination of perks would work well for different types of characters.
For each quest, the author gives an excellent tree diagram showing you the various paths and the rewards and consequences to which they lead. These diagrams are usually enough to help you find your way in a quest, but the book also provides lengthy text directions for navigating through the levels along with lists of loot that you should look out for in each area. Sections that could affect your in-game karma level are clearly labeled with angel or devil icons so you can find what you need at a glance.
There's no denying that there is a TON of useful information in this guide book, but unfortunately, the organization makes it a bit difficult to use. Every town and location is listed in the guide's giant index, but instead going by alphabetical order, the locations are grouped by zones on the world map. For example, in the index, you would find Vault 101 listed under the section called "Zone 8: Southern Plains and D.C. Outskirts". If you needed to quickly know the page number for the Vault 101 section, you would have to know that it's in Zone 8 or you would have to search the giant index line-by-line until you find it.
Since this guide was written and published before the game was released, there are a few things that are wrong. The most obvious difference that I found regards the Barkskin perk. The guide says that it gives you Damage Resistance +10% and Endurance +1, however, in the final version of the game, the perk only gives you +5% Damage Resistance.
Despite the organizational issues and a few errors, this guide is an excellent companion to the game. There's an incredible amount of content hidden away in Fallout 3 so having this guide means that you won't miss out on anything in the game.
Great guide. by .. M. Medina (CA USA)
Very cool guide, awesome artwork and design job. My only complaint is the bind of the boom comes to far out and it's hard to read some words close to the spine.
Overall great guide.
Fantastic Fallout fanfare by .. AcidAlias (Boston)
Great book. Have everything you need to wade into the wastes, and more. CHaracter creation suggestions are very helpful. I am walking around with a fist's of wrath ninja and it is so much fun. Great Job Prima.

I loved this book. I read the whole thing in a couple of hours. Humorous and informational. I would definitely recommend this book!
A must read by all pregnant women by .. F. Merodio (Miami, USA)
One of the best books I read in my pregnancy. Its fun and contains many tips and things people dont tell you!
One of the best books on pregnancy. by .. A reader ()
As soon as I read You Know You're Pregnant When. Reflections on the Longest Nine Months of My Life, I was on the search for other books about pregnancy that weren't so, well, depressing. I wanted humor and I got it! This is one of the best pregnancy book, by far, and it really gives you what you want--information about pregnancy without scaring you! Defintely pick this one up!
My Favorite Pregnancy Book! by .. JBebe ()
I bought this book, along with a lot of other pregnancy books, when I found out I was pregnant for the first time. This was BY FAR the best.
This book is not a medical or scientific or a "week by week" book about pregnancy; it is a woman-to-woman guide on what pregnancy is REALLY like - physically, mentally, emotionally. It is a completely honest and candid perspective on what women go through during those nine (or ten, as Iovine claims) months. And it is hilarious.
This is the book that I would read at the end of a long day when I was exhausted and hormonally-unstable; I would get in a warm bubble bath and take this book with me. It is the perfect way to relax and feel better, because you realize that you are not alone - all pregnant women have gone through the exact same thing. And it makes you laugh, which definitely makes you feel better.
My husband and I spent many a night reading this book out loud and laughing so hard we were crying. I found it funny mostly because it was so true.
I have recommended and/or given this book to all of my pregnant friends!
Very funny... much needed humor when you are preggo by .. Laura E. Price (Boston)
My sister-in-law gave me this book to read when I was pregnant. It is very funny! Its the "everything you need to know about pregnancy that no one will tell you" book. Just what someone with fatigue, gas, swollen ankles and a squished bladder needs! Relax, put your feet up and enjoy this great, light-hearted book.

Customer reviews Serious Sombie Fans by .. D. Scott (CO USA)
Hallarious!! Wounderful comment for those of us that Zombies are real! It may be that this is a statment of our society,..of us as we stumble around in this disjointed world we live in, where Any Thing goes!...Maybe WE, are the Zombies and havent realized it yet!!
Perfect!!! by .. Richard Thomas (Woodbridge, VA USA)
Book was in excellent condition, just as described. Shipping was super fast. Thanks again!!!
Break glass in case of emergency!!!.. by .. Tishauna Diana Delacroix Starr (LA and GA)
I have a boat load of survival manual/guides. cause y'know i like being crazy prepared no matter how absurd the threat, or situation. so people would laugh when they see this and other similar books in my collection. the book is definitely a straight forward text. so it probably isn't very accurate to call this a humorous book. i will admit that the book's strongest suit is the historical accounts of past zombie outbreaks (or presumed outbreaks). which is brooks strong point being that he was a history major. and it's also the reason why there's a whole book coming out based on past accounts.
the book is very short but very straight forward. there's no spectacle, no style,just matter of fact tone on how to survive different levels of zombie out breaks. if your a zombie buff like me, then its made specifically for you. everyone else probably won't dig it as much.
Great detail makes this book even better by .. Courtney250 (United States)
A very amusing how to guide with easy to do tips on surviving your first zombie encounter. There is enough realism and detail to add in a little fright along with the dry humor.
Good Guide by .. J. A. O'Connor (Independence, MO USA)
Yes, I know the subject area is zombies, and that that's crazy and "fictional," but this guide gives good advice for any scenario. This guide could be applied to any even marginally apocolyptic case, and the information would be just as valid. Also, if you're not worried about a zombie apocolypse, this book is just a darn good read.

The Complete User's Guide to the Amazing Amazon Kindle
I found this book to be interesting, helpful and an easy read. I purchased a "Kindle" and was looking for information to make my experience with the Kindle a good one. Steve's book not only met all my needs but he personally went the extra step to direct me to other helpful sites to help me in my own search to self-publish.
If you have purchased a "Kindle" and need a few pointers this is the book for you. And as an extra bonus you'll find some really good bargains inside.
Thank you Steve for a wonderful read.
A must read for the new Kindle owner by .. S. I. Shaw (East Coast USA)
Mr. Windwalker's enthusiasm for the Kindle shines through in the enthusiasm of his writing as well as in the range of tips, advice, and thoughts he provides on the Kindle.
Obviously, as with any book of this type, Kindle users will have discovered some or many of the ideas presented for themselves. However, even I, a true Kindle lover and gadget geek, mined valuable information that I had not discovered on my own. The tips range from the merely fun (how to find Minesweeper) to the extremely useful (where to find free content, keyboard shortcuts, how to use the Kindle during travel, how to manage photos and audio files).
To me, the most fun and interesting part of the book were the author's speculations on the possible future of the Kindle and how it might be a paradigm-changing device.
Everyone who owns a Kindle should also own this book.
great book. This book should be your first Kindle purchase. by .. E. Harmon (KNOXVILLE, TENNESSEE)
This book will help you understand your new Kindle. It is a "How to" book for the Kindle. Do not pass up this book. The Kindle is an amazing piece of technology and this book makes understanding it so easy. I give this book 10 stars.
Fodder  by .. RoboInfo_19 (Chapel Hill, NC United States)
This is a complete waste of digital space. Improperly described, it is more of an advertisement for the author's other books. .1 star would have been my choice were it available.

If you are thinking about getting this book, I suggest the PDA version, because this book is designed to be a "pocket book", so it's small. The vast amount of information therefore has to be somehow packed into this book. The print is very small, I don't think any one can read this book from more than 2 inches away. The information is great, though.
sanford guide to antimicrobialtherapy by .. Dr. Claudio A.G.Monteiro Filho. (Recife, Pernambuco.Brazil)
Well
I would like to say that this is a great book, yes its true.
The only prob is that you got to know what you're doing...and you got to know this book well...otherwise you're not going to come up with anything...
IF you pick up this book thinking that you're going to come up with the greatest antibiotic combinations you're wrong. You're just going to sit it there somewhere. and look elsewhere.
You need to know how to read it, as it is full of acronyms for lots of antibiotics; and so forth and so on...
You need to get used to it ask attending that might have you used it b4 so that you know what you're up against and stuff...especially if you're going to be working with critically ill patients; who are in icus
They need the best combinations possible of antibiotic ...
Make sure you protect you're calling...

This book has some excellent tips and excellent information, and it can minimize the amount of time you spend standing in line. It's a nice supplement to the official guides and I'm glad I bought it. However, I have some major problems with the book, and they are as follows:
-My fundamental problem with the book is that it is written in a very negative, cynical tone. I get the impression that the authors don't even like Disney World, and they take pot shots at the Disney company every chance they get. After reading this book I'm actually a little less excited and a little more nervous about my trip.
-The book seems geared more toward families with small children who go to Disney World during more crowded times. My girlfriend and I do not have children and we are going to Disney during a less crowded, off peak time so much of the book is not applicable to our situation.
-The format of the book is to offer descriptions and reviews of various attractions followed by quotes sent in by readers. Most of the quotes are negative, which I think is unrepresentative because most people enjoy most attractions. The few people who have a negative experience will be more motivated to write in with a complaint.
-I have a Ph.D., and reading this book gave me flashbacks to writing my dissertation and reading for my doctoral comprehensive exams. I think planning a Disney trip is an enjoyable part of going to Disney World, but reading this book is more like work than fun and it makes planning for a Disney trip seem more like work than fun. There's actually a section with mathematical formulas!
-The authors seem to judge many things based solely on cost and monetary value. However, my criterion for a Disney vacation is convenience and an avoidance of stress. I hate driving when I'm on vacation, but the authors recommend renting a car or driving a car to Disney World and much of the information is geared toward people who drive. The book offers criticisms of the Disney's Magical Express shuttle service which I think is one of the best perks of a Disney vacation. The book also criticizes Extra Magic Hours and I had a wonderful time using EMHs during my last trip.
-The authors are extremely critical of Disney World eating places, and they come off as food snobs. They seem to only give good reviews to the most expensive restaurants, which somewhat contradicts the book's focus on cost. They also trash the Disney Dining Plan, which I happen to like. It saved me an enormous amount of money during my last trip. The book does not delineate which restaurants are on the Disney Dining Plan and which are not so this was confusing for my planning.
-The book contains a great deal of information about other theme parks in the Orlando area such as Universal Studios and Sea World, and in keeping with the negative tone of the book the authors seem to favor these non-Disney parks. My bottom line is that a critical review of Disney attractions and restaurants is good and is something you can't get in the official guides, but the authors take it too far - a book about a Disney World vacation should make you feel good about going there and this book does not.
The best Disney guide, hands down! by .. Mama-do (Duxbury, ma United States)
I just bought the 2009 version of this guide to plan our November trip to Disney. I used it in 2004 to plan our first trip and it was awesome. Everything it said was right on the money, from the hotel descriptions, advice on room requests, schedules to go by, scariness factors of rides, how to plan your trip... I simply can't say enough. I would definately recommend it to anyone planning a trip to Disney, especially with kids. It is the only book I would use
Unofficial review by .. delmeister (East Bay, CA)
With input from reader / contributors, this guide continues to be my go to reference for WDW. Add a couple of websites for current news and menus and I'm ready for my trip.
Just bought this book by .. ollie&balckie ()
As we are planning a return trip to Orlando/Disney in 2009, I discovered this book and decided to buy it.There is so much practical information in it. Only downside as far as I can see is that when you go to the website that they recommend for more information, you seem to have to subscribe to view the information.
All in all I feel that its a great read and handy to have for reference.

This guide is amazing, it took some reading to figure it out. Most guides are appendix based. This guide is area based. Even the map that comes standard with the guide is broken down into Zones, 1,2,3,4 u....
It lists zoned areas in the first few pages, than it guides you through the main quest to find your Father. The middle and respective middle plus of the book give a more detailed look into each of the Zoned locations, as well as armor, bestiary information, weapons, and locations for such. If you look onto the map that came with your book, you may notice some areas are darkened but not shown on your map as true locations. Go towards the back end of the book to find the Zone you are looking for like Zone 20 for instance. Please be mindful not to go too far so you do not spoil the ending/s for yourself. If you find it hard to find a certain location on the Pipboy screen, use your book map and your zoned book pages to isolate where your target area is. Place a marker or move one you may be using elsewhere to help you stay on course. I hope this helps you. Definite buy because of the vastness of the Wasteland.
Table of contents for Fallout 3 Game Guide by .. T. bailey ()
There are three things I wish Bethesda Softworks would do:
1) Play test their games as much as Blizzard does before releasing them to the public: Bethesda Softworks games are notorious for major bugs, some which ruin the game.
2) Make a game which didn't freeze, like Grand Theft Auto IV.
3) Finally, which relates to this guide, make a guide book with an index. It is ridiculous that 400 plus page books have no index.
I give this guide 4 stars because it is so much better than the Oblivion IV guide. This guide is very well written, and very well laid out. The appendix is excellent, and the tables on weapons is superb. The way each area has a short summary of all of the treasures and dangers is also clever. There are maps to almost every indoor location, and they are very well illustrated. The only major complaint I have is no index.
Minor complaints include:
1) It would be nice to have a full page map in the book. I find myself having to go to the huge wall poster too often.
2) Having the residents of the areas first, before an explaination of the areas forces users to have to often turn the page to read what is in each room. The numbered room explanations should have been first.
3) Minor grammatical errors abound, such as "shotgun cells" instead of "shotgun shells" in the table. But they are so minor, it does not effect your game play.
In the discussion section I added the entire table of contents from the book, and an alphabetized index.
Biggest doesn't mean best  by .. Clay Lazenby (Marietta, GA)
Along with my copy of Fallout 3, I purchased this guide to assist in covering all the quests. I wanted to ensure that I didn't miss any quests for the unlocking of the almighty Achievement points for the 360. I was very disappointed.
As with previous reviews, there is quite a bit of information. This is easily one of the biggest strategy guides I've seen. However, Fallout 3 is a massive game. But as the title implies, bigger isn't nearly better. There is pages and pages of information but the organization is horrid.
I strictly use strategy guides if I'm stuck or to ensure I haven't missed anything in an area I've explored. Fallout 3 is not linear, yet the strategy guide is setup that way. Better organization and layout would have ensured a MUCH higher rating. It's solely defeating the purpose of a physical strategy guide when I'm searching online for certain quests, as it's too difficult to find it in this guide.
As a previous reviewer mentioned, he hopes they come out with an electronic database to search. Normally, that'd go above and beyond and would be a fantastic addition, but with this, it's a necessity. Who wants to read for your quest, only to have spoilers revealed about upcoming quests and still haven't found the solution to your initial inquiry.
All that being said, the strategy guide did have it's uses. You know how certain things will play out if you want to know in advance how your decisions will play out. Also, the major boon, at least for me, are the Maps. Fallout 3's in-game map is very small and hard to decipher, but the quest waypoints help. I still found myself referencing the strategy guide solely for the Maps, which were probably worth the price I paid for the guide.
All in all, if you're progressing through the game and want to experience it rather than know precisely what to do, this isn't for you. I would still recommend it on the maps, which seem to be detailed and will provide major assistance during gameplay. It's a shame, because information is abundant, just the organization detracts so heavily.
Mucho work, No fundo by .. M. sheirel (Not where you want to be U. S. A.)
First off, the game is probably the best RPG I've played since Baldur's Gate 2. But the lay out on this guide is terrible. Sadly, A huge amount of work went into gathering the info on the game. But somebody must of not been taking their meds. It is a mess, It is layed out like you have already played the game, so you end up trying to get a little taste of something and get a mouth full of spoiler. I only use the hint books for going back through a part of the game that I have finnished. Just to make sure I got everything or was there some other way of doing it. I am afraid to look in this book because by the time I have found what I was looking for, I've had to read through stuff I have not done and it is ruining my experience of the game. I have been playing computer games since Pong, (Yeah I'm that old) and I have the Morrowind and Oblivion guides and love them.
Not a good reference guide by .. Stephen F. Yegge (Seattle, WA United States)
This guide is a linear walkthrough of the game. If you're trying to answer a question like "where can I find so-and-so", or "how do I get into rivet city", it's a terrible resource: it has no index and no useful table of contents. So if you're trying to just play the game naturally (doing quests as you find them), rather than following their exact sequence, the book is almost useless.

Product Description The Official SAT Study Guide is the only book that features official SAT practice tests created by the test maker. It's packed with the information students need to get ready for the exam. They’ll gain valuable experience by taking eight practice tests and receiving estimated scores. With 900 pages and 21 chapters, the book helps students raise their confidence by reviewing concepts, test-taking approaches, and focused sets of practice questions. Customer reviews Bought this for the mystery tutor site, glad I did. by .. Maria Cevallos (USA)
I bought this book for my kid because it was recommended on mysterytutor.com, and I have to say I'm glad I did. The questions are different from what he was working on before, which was one of the Barron's books, just like the guy on the mystery tutor site said they would be. It just makes sense to use real questions to get ready for the test, especially when it's an important one.
Some other reviewers have written about how the book doesn't provide solutions, and I agree that that's a problem, but if you go to the mystery tutor's forums you can get all of those solutions for free, so that way you can still use this book of real questions and not have to go with some other company's fake questions, but still have explanations.
The book is full of real practice questions just like it says it is, and it's the only book of practice questions you should be using! Get it and don't think twice.
The Official SAT Guide by .. snowflakes (Kitsap County)
This book NEVER arrived. It was cancelled the same day, reorder from another vendor and also cancelled. Finally, my daughter's boyfriend found her one, almost too late and they studied together. The Guide was helpful but would have been better if delivered and on time.
No explanations!?? by .. Iyabo ()
This book comes in handy because it has great tips and sources coming right from the creator of the SAT's and also tells you what to expect on test day. The only problem is that it gives no explanations for the answers.There are explanations on the sample questions only, but there are none on the practice tests(there are eight practice tests). It is so frustrating, especially in the math section, don't just tell me the answer is "B", explain to me WHY it is "B" and HOW to solve the problem. If you want an effective and easy to understand study guide, I recommend "11 Practice tests for the SAT's and PSAT's" by the princeton review. That one actually explains the answers for every single question(both math and English) in the book. You can buy the college board's if you want great tips but don't rely on it for your practice tests because its not going to help.
Great Book! by .. Jiang Tianhong (China)
well..
Firstly,it is a great book with useful deals for different part of SAT. I think this book is like Baron's "How to prepare for SAT",but it has more details and is from the test maker.
Secondly,as a official guide to SAT for people all around the world,it introduce SAT in a very detailed way,including some test skill.(though..just few..)
As a official guide,it can just present some common skills and reference. It cannot be a top reference book but a necessary book for SAT.
Thanks collegeboard for presenting such a great book for us.

Product Description The most authoritative book in the field, now with more entries than ever before, updated and revised for 2009. Customer reviews The guide of guides by .. Maria Cristina (Vieques, Puerto Rico)
I both enjoy Maltin's show on cable TV and this handy review book, BUT is the book available in a larger print size?
This compact movie guide is indespensable for all movie buffs by .. Gerard P. Beaudette (New Gloucester, ME USA)
Just got my new edition of Leonard Maltin's Movie Guide. How does he do it? All the new movies are in here not to mention useful info about tape and DVD suppliers, etc... etc... I always consult it whether before going to the theater or watching movies on TV.
Still the quintessential reference book after all these years by .. Paul Allaer (Cincinnati)
Leonard Maltin has been issuing this yearly movie reference guide for many years. A while back (not sure when exactly), Maltin decided to split up the movies in pre-and after 1960 movies. The pre-1960 movies now have their own book ("Leonard Maltin's Classic Movie Guide").
"Leonard Maltin's 2009 Movie Guide" (a whopping 1,644 pages, this book should be sold "by the pound") brings the alphabetical listing of more than 17,000 movies and captures their essence in a single paragraph. The editions change little from year to year, bringing a batch of new movies. It's not exactly clear where the chronological cut-off point is: "Iron Man" is in here, but not "The Dark Knight". But it matters not.
The beauty of this book is that it remains the essential "hard copy" reference tool for us movie lovers. Yes, the minute this book is issued it becomes out-dated (see the "Dark Knight" reference), and I'm sure there are on-line reference sites that are more up to date, but if you, like me, like to have an actual book, this reference guide is for you. At that level, this book remains the best and essential.
Editorial imperfections by .. VERTIGOstrawberries ()
These reviews are indeed helpful. Still, there is little point in Maltin's arbitrary indexes of actors and directors which exclude Walter Huston, Paul Scofield, Hedy Lamar, Jack Palance and a great number of other leading performers of earlier years (including River Phoenix), in order to favor the legacy of Jim Carrey, Reese Witherspoon, Ben Stiller, etc.
Also there is that irritating concession to readers who apparently are unable to allow for the full listing of titles beginning with 'My' (from "My American Cousin" straight through "My Wife is An Actress") to be followed by titles whose first syllable begins with "My" ("Mysterians, The" through "Mystic River"). Instead, Maltin interrupts the list at "My Stepmother is A Martian," introduces "Mysterians, The" through "Mystic River" and only afterwards continues with the remaining titles that start with "My" ("My Summer of Love" and "My Wife is An Actress").
Tt should not be too much to ask for French as well as Italian titles - in which "Le," "La" and/or "Les" pertain to the equivalent "The" article in English, to be listed more properly (i.e.: "Avventura, L'" under "A"; "Bal, Le" under "B"; "Corbeau, Le" under "C"; "Enfer, L'" under "E"; "Miserables, Les" under "M"; "Nuit de Varennes, La" under "N"; and so on), instead of a slew of "La" titles and same for the "Le" and "Les" ones.

Nobody Drowns in Mineral Lake
Leonard Maltin is the mavin of the movies.
All the basic informaton that you want to know about a movie that's on DVD or being aired on television is in this book.
I check this huge volume regularly to see how Leonard and his staff have rated a movie that interests me. If they don't give it 3-stars or more, I figure that it's not worth my time.
I don't always agree with their assessment, but they're right more times than they are wrong.
As a writer, I find this book to be an invaluable reference tool, which is why I buy the updated edition every year.
