Book Description
The number-one, best-selling drink recipe book is updated in this new edition and has 100 new drinks; an expanded martini section (200 total) with tips, techniques and secrets (and a salute to the Big Apple); a huge list of dessert drinks and a piece on the world's finest Cognac; a philosophical discussion on, and inventory of, Flavored Vodkas, Gins and Rums; and drinks that take a new slant on Floaters, Shooters and Layered Drinks.
That brings the complete drink count to 2,700. That's well over a thousand more than any other pour book.
This new edition also has an expanded wine section with Robert M. Parker's, Jr. "Wine Vintage Guide," "Parker Speaks on Wine," and Parker's glossary of wine terms.
Of course this book still has all its good old features: an index by ingredients, in depth mixing instructions, metric conversion tables, a list of every possible garnish, sections on hot drinks, frozen drinks, beers, ales, lagers, and "malternatives," and S.K.C.'s "Glossary of Club, Restaurant and Bar Terms, and Slang." (Sample Below.)
Weisenheimer(n): slang, an obnoxious person; someone who thinks their banter is clever or humorous, even though others may not.
Wounded Soldier (n): a beer that has been opened, partially consumed and left to die. See Soldier, and Dead Soldier.

Everyman's Little Black Bar Book.......2007-09-04
I have bartended off and on for over 37 years and this is the only book you will ever need. Buy it. Read it. Commit it to memory and watch the tips double, triple, or even more depending on your basic personality and present expertise in the profession.
How to make a ton of drinks and much more!.......2007-06-11
A lot of useful information! Highly recommended for new and experienced bartenders.
AWESOME!.......2007-05-13
I applogize for using the word "awesome" to describe this book but that's all that comes to mind. I've worked in the club and club/resturant area a bit but never as bartender. This book brought back memories of the most fun I had, making the least money ever. If you're interested in being a bartender, being a better mixologist or just curious about mixing drinks, I highly recommend this book. It was the best $12.95 I ever spent. And again, Amazon, your service was amazing.
The Bartender's Black Book, Eighth Edition.......2007-04-03

Excellent Self Teaching Guitar Book.......2007-09-24
This is an excellent book for learning guitar, even with zero previous knowledge of how to play. No need for expensive lessons. Playing along with the cd is excellent practice. Most songs on the cd have slow and fast tempos. The book is very well written and easy to understand.
Hal Leonard Guitar Method.......2007-09-02

a review from a beginner.......2007-09-02
It is easy to use book. I did not read it completely but it sounds a good refrence book for bigginer like me.
A good book for a good start.......2007-08-23
- A really nice book. At very first u might think that why its so confusing. But if u know how to read music, its so easy and interesting. I will strongly recommend to go to a guitar teacher and tell him to teach u using this book. After very first lesson every thing will seem so easy to u.
Good luck
Nauman
I like it!.......2007-08-10
This set is what I expected out of the reviews I have read. It is a very good set for some one who is learning the guitar and wants to beable to read music not tabs but actuall musical notes. I am curently on the first book and it progresses at a really good pace, not to fast and not to slow. The CD's that come with it are very good also because the help you learn how to listen for the sustainment of a note.

The irrepressible mouse heroine of Chester's Way and Julius, the Baby of the World returns for another true-to-life and very funny episode. Lilly loves everything about school, especially her teacher, Mr. Slinger--until he takes away her musical purse because she can't stop playing with it in class. Lilly decides to get revenge with a nasty drawing of "Big Fat Mean Mr. Stealing Teacher!" but when she finds the kind note he put in her purse, she's filled with remorse and has to find a way to make things right again. Children will sympathize with Lilly's impulsive mistake and laugh uproariously at the witty and expressive pictures of the very human mice. In a starred review, Publisher's Weekly called this book "sympathetic and wise." (Ages 4 to 8)

This is an awesome book! I use it every year in my 2nd grade class!
Henkes has done it again!.......2007-07-21
Lily will grab your student's attention, or capture your grandchild's heart! Be prepared to search to locate red cowboy boots and a purple plastic purse for those who are deeply attached to this character. (I found both on e-bay!)
A wonderful book.......2007-07-03
By Ellie
Lilly's Purple Plastic Purse is good for all ages. Lilly, a cute little mouse, loves her new teacher, Mr. Slinger. She goes shopping and gets a new purse. She can't wait to show Mr. Slinger her new gifts. She is a little too excited and gets in trouble. In this book Kevin Henkes is very descriptive and creative in the writing and the pictures. It pulls you in and you can't wait to find out what's going to happen next. The problem of the story and how it resolves itself is very interesting. Lilly's Purple Plastic Purse is a wonderful book.
Lily's purple purse is wonderful.......2007-05-18
My daughter really enjoyed this book. We purchased this and Chrysanthemum and she loves both. I have read these over and over again. This is a cute tail about Lily and her new toy and how she gets in trouble trying to show off her toys in class. It has wonderful detailed artwork and the storyline is very enjoyable.
Lilly`s Purple Plastic Purse.......2007-05-08
Mae White
I read the book Lilly's Purple Plastic Purse. The reason I would recommend this book is so people could decide if they like it even though I didn't. I didn't like this book because Lilly was mean. In the book I read that Lilly was writing mean stuff to her teacher just because the teacher took her stuff away when she wasn't supposed to have it in school. This convinced me that it was not a good book.

Book Description
The Real Books are the best-selling jazz books of all time. Since the 1970s, musicians have trusted these volumes to get them through every gig, night after night. The problem is that the books were illegally produced and distributed without any copyrights or royalties paid to the master composers who created these musical canons. Hal Leonard is very proud to present the first legitimate and legal editions of these books ever produced. You won't even notice the difference...the covers look the same, the engravings look the same, the songlist is nearly identical, and the price remains fair even on a musician's salary! But every conscientious musician will appreciate that these books are now produced legally and ethically, benefitting the songwriters that we owe for some of the greatest music ever written! 400 songs, including: Air Mail Special * Birdland * Bye Bye Blackbird * Caravan * Doxy * Fly Me to the Moon (In Other Words) * Georgia * Girl Talk * I Remember You * I Thought About You * In Walked Bud * The Jodi Grind * Just the Way You Are * Killer Joe * Little Sunflower * Mercy, Mercy, Mercy * Moanin' * The Nearness of You * Now's the Time * Old Devil Moon * Phase Dance * St. Thomas * Speak Low * Stardust * Tangerine * Tenor Madness * Watch What Happens * Whisper Not * Willow Weep for Me * Yardbird Suite * and more.

Real Book2.......2007-06-11
Great book, clear print, all the original chord markings, and now legal!!! what a treasure.
A must have.......2007-02-17
Another excellent book from Hal Leonard. I own both volumes. Easy to read. If this book was lost I would most certainly replace it.
What is this..........2007-02-09
So many of the reviewers here HAS to mention that owning the book is now LEGAL, because the publisher went through the trouble of licensing the songs, like a good corporation should. See, I don't have a problem with that per se, but when the publisher makes a stink of letting us know its LEGAL and I see some reviewers jumping on that particular bandwagon, I can't help but get this suspicion that something is afoot.
Like, you had the old (unlicensed=illegal) fake book for years and it really tormented you to know that the rights-holders (not the composers, note!) weren't paid their dues, but now, having the LEGAL copy you just feel so much warmer inside. Give me a break!
More good songs!.......2007-01-11
I had been playing from my decrepit, illegal real book volume 1 for more than 20 years, and only came across this volume 2 occasionally, playing with friends. Volume 2 brings great variety to Volume 1. There seems to be a higher concentration of standards and bebop songs, such as playable Parker and Monk tunes. The notation is clean, and although I am not a professional, I have not come across noticeable mistakes yet. And it feels good knowing that I am not breaking the law each time I play a tune in public + the price is right!
The real thing.......2007-01-09
What I love most about this book is its design. Veterans know that fake books are frequently a combination of handwritten, poorly-photocopied, cut-and-pasted, inconsistently-sized charts along with chord naming conventions that go all over the place (an E minor chord can read as Em, e, E-, etc. in the same book.)
The Real Book series (besides the advantage of excellent songs acquired with the proper rights) has a wonderful design. The staff lines are a consistent size; there is one song per page (or sometimes two pages, laid out so there's no flipping involved); chord naming conventions are consistent (it's "E-" throughout); and there is a lot of white space for a clean, clear look and room to pencil-in performance notes. It's easy and natural to go from one song to another without going through a lot of mental gymnastics and adjustments, as one would do in other fake books.
Plus, it's all done in a handwritten-looking font that gives it both a warm, handmade character and the feeling that you've acquired something surreptitious (like every fake book should be)!
The only problem is that the key is only indicated in the first measure of the first staff -- sharps and flats are not repeated at the beginning of the lower staffs, so it's sometimes a little hard to quickly remind yourself of what key you're in. Still, I'm having lots of fun with this.
Book Description
Recent decades have seen an explosion of new applications of fluoropolymers in all aspects of human life, particularly in the chemical, electrical, and semiconductor industries. Properties of durability, inertness, low coefficient of friction, and high heat and chemical resistance are unmatched by any other family of plastics.
This is the second of a two volume series of books about fluoroplastics. Volume 1 covers the non-melt processible homopolymers, requiring non-traditional processing techniques. Volume 2 is devoted to the melt-processible fluoropolymers, their polymerization and fabrication techniques. Both a source of data and a reference, the properties, characterstics, applications, safety, disposal, and recycling of melt-processible fluoropolymers are comprehensively detailed for immediate use by practicing engineers and scientists in the plastics industry. Students will benefit from the book’s arrangement and extensive references.
Customer Reviews:
Fluoroplastics Volume 2.......2003-10-27
This is a continuation of a previously published book on fluoroplastics by the same author. This volume covers the melt-processable fluoroplastics, one of the fastest growing segments of fluoropolymeric materials. The written material is very well and logically organized.
The book emphasizes the practical over theoretical, although it still covers relevant scientific principles involved in the synthesis of monomers, polymerization, properties and processing. Each melt-processing technology is introduced and very well explained. Additional topics covered are applications, safety, disposal and recycling of fluoropolymers. Numerous appendices contain test methods and technical properties of the commercial products, such as high temperature resistance, permeation etc. A comprehensive glossary is also included.
The ample references at the end of each chapter serve as a resource for more detailed reading on the given subject. There are numerous review papers included, which represent additional relevant resource for the reader.
Fluoroplastics, Volume 2 contains a wealth of useful information and quality data for the student, for the engineer in process or product development or for the scientist in industrial research and development or for the university teacher interested in technology. It is definitely the most comprehensive and informative work on the subject published so far.
Melt Processible Fluoroplastics.......2003-07-29
This is an excellent, thorough work covering this fast-growing segment of the polymer science and technology. Its title claims to be "The Definitive User's Guide and Databook" and it is just that. It covers everything from fundamentals, synthesis of monomers, polymerization, structure and properties and a large variety of essential processing and fabrication methods and applications pertaining to melt processable fluoropolymers. Although all chapters of the book are put together impeccably, those dealing with processing are the strongest ones. Each processing method is explained first and then the details applicable to fluoropolymers are discussed thoroughly. Seven appendices provide information on high temperature resistance, permeation properties of certain fluoroplastics, mechanical, thermal, electrical and physical properties of FEP films, and modulus data for fluoroplastics. A very thorough glossary and a list of trademarks are included and represent additional valuable resources for the reader.

Talk About Good is the BEST!!.......2007-06-27
This is by far the best cook book ever written!! These are truly "Cajun" based recipes and are tried and true! I highly recommend it to anyone that is interested in Cajun Cuisine. It is THE BEST!!!
Talk About Good.......2007-01-15
During my childhood, this was my mother's favorite cookbook - long before it was feasible to access such a wide range of recipes from the internet. She lost the cookbook (and everything else) in Hurricane Katrina, and it has been difficult to replace it. We were so happy to be able to find it on Amazon.com and give it to her for Christmas. Although she has relocated from New Orleans, the cookbook and the recipes that she used from it over the holidays, made us feel at home. The cookbook itself demonstrates authentic home cooking. Each recipe reflects the contributors' individual tastes and family traditions, and the types of cooking and ingredients provide a glimpse into a distinct culture. I find it as much fun to read the recipes and their variations as to cook them.
TALK ABOUT GOOD.......2007-01-15
This is most likely the BEST cookbook in existence, defiantly if you like Cajun food. The fact that it has a binding that allows pages to lay flat, remain open shows how the publisher intended this book to be used, in the kitchen.
Wife wore out the 1st copy I bought her, literally to torn shreds, this is a replacement, and we got it at a great price.
Favorite Cookbook.......2006-11-07
I've had this cookbook for many years, and it is my favorite.
I'm from New Orleans, and these are authentic Cajun recipes. There are many ways to cook a specific dish, and I find the various recipes reflect these personal touches. You cannot go wrong with "Talk About Good".
Real Food.......2006-09-09
I actually bought my copy while I was in High School. Twenty years later it is still a good source of inspiration and variety.
If you like good food and the joy of life, pick up a copy and enjoy yourself!
