The Anti-Federalist Papers (2008-02-08)
The Anti-Federalist Papers and the Constitutional Convention Debates (Signet Classics) A good read and exactly what I was looking for. It, among other books, will be recommended reading for a class on the “Great Debate.”
Douglas R. Holdenquick shipping; great product!!! (2008-01-07)
Product was in great shape and as described; would definitely buy from this seller again!The Origin of our Bill of Rights (2008-01-07)
“The Anti-Federalist Papers” along with the “Federalist Papers” is an excellent way to really learn about how our Constitution came about. Pseudonyms like The Centinel, The Pennsylvania Farmer, John DeWitt, Cato, et.al. set forth the cons against why various provisions of our Constitution should be viewed with great suspicion, and they offered counter proposals to safeguard our freedoms from ultimate despotism. I haven’t read all the papers as I am also studying the Federalist Papers along with this book; but I am finding that many of the warnings the Anti-Federalists expressed have either come true or have come a long way toward becoming true.
I surely recommend purchasing this book if you want to learn the truth behind the reasons for our Constitution being as it is, and if you want to finally understand this very important basis for our government.
long over due (2007-09-11)
I read the Federalist Papers when I was in school. Both should be required reading today.An often neglected companion. (2007-07-27)
This collection of Anti-Federalist Papers is a must for any serious student of our nation’s founding. Too often studies of the period only use the better known essays found in The Federalist Papers. This collection of work brought together by James Madison biographer, Ralph Ketcham, can be used with the companion volume of The Federalist Papers to do the arguments justice. America had a dual founding, both sides, Federalist and Anti-Federalist must be studied.

I first saw this book while visiting friends in a retirement home. When I got home I immediately ordered it from Amazon and placed it on my coffee table. If you are even on the verge of getting older, you will understand Dr. Seuss’ adventure to the doctor’s office, and appreciate the humor he injects concerning the many tests, etc. one sometimes must tolerate as we age.Must Have for 60th Birthdays (2007-05-12)
The family has given this book to friends for years as a gift on their 60th birthday. It is a fun look at the aging process and brings laughter from all who have received the book. Usually we have the friend sit on our laps and we read it to them as we would a child. Great stuff..Can’t live without prescriptions from the good doctor. (2007-05-07)
What more can be said? There will never be another Dr. Suess. I’m never disappointed when it comes to Dr. Suess. And Amazon has great service, by the way.

History lesson (2006-11-03)
This book is a great history lesson not just of baseball but of the times Willie played. There are many memories of the “Giants” of yesterday.a magical book about a truly great baseball player (2005-04-27)
“Willie’s Time,” by Charles Einstein, is a magical read, in my opinion. Einstein basically starts when Willie made it to the “Bigs,” and he weaves history into the phenomenal career of Willie Mays, who is arguably the greatest baseball player that ever lived.
I started playing Little League baseball in 1960, and I played center. Willie Mays was my hero. Mays could-and did-do it all: (1)hit for average, (2)hit with power, (3)run the bases, (4)play defense, and (5)win games for his team with intangibles. Many players challenged Willie’s arm, and Mays threw the majority of them out.
To attempt to compare drug-enhanced players of today with Willie Mays is ludicrous. They are mere children compared to Willie.
Today (27 May 2005), Major League Baseball no longer exists (to me). But “Willie’s Time” was a wonderful reminder of not only a great baseball player, but also a time when Major League Baseball was fun. (RIP, Major League Baseball.)
In my opinion, you will NOT be disappointed if you buy this book.

Run don’t walk AWAY! (2008-02-08)
Author claims to be “non-Sense” - and in my mind he is. But his is the only things “different” about this book. His “only” twist is that is tends to showcase the “risk” whereas the others showcase the “reward”. This book is not worth the read or money.I recommend his other two books instead (2007-11-13)
The No-Nonsense Real Estate Investor’s Kit: How You Can Double Your Income By Investing in Real Estate on a Part-Time Basis
I’m glad I read his other two books before reading this one. Otherwise I would not have bothered to read the other two, which I would highly recommend to anyone interested in real estate investing.
The problems I had with this book I would put primarily under the category of either no or very poor editing.
First, I think he contradicts himself regarding recommended courses of action in a few places in the book. For example, he devotes a couple of chapters to talking about how hard it is to make profits in real estate investing, then gives several anecdotes throughout the book about making $20k to $30k after 2-3 months of owning a property. He spends a good portion of the book talking about real estate loans, escrow closings and good credit, then mentions briefly toward the end of the book that he prefers not to use conventional loans, but instead to use owner financing (which is some of the most helpful information I’ve obtained by reading books on real estate investing, so I agree with his preferred course of action. Why wait until the end to throw that out?)
Second, I wish some editor had reined in all of the portions of the book which allowed his personality to really shine through. If I live to never see the word “bullspit” in print again, I will have been blessed. Also, the constant references to “how we did it in the Marines.” There was WAY too much of those things. There was some of this in his other two books, but not enough to annoy me. Here, it affected his credibility more, because I started to think of him more as a windbag. It didn’t change my appreciation for his other two books, but it has affected how devotedly I will adhere to all of the advice in those books.
Last, and this is a trivial point, I don’t think he had an editor because there were about 5,000 unnecessary commas. I had to stop often to re-read sentences because the commas were inserted at random places, making many of his sentences nonsensical.
As I’ve stated a couple of places in this review, I would highly recommend his other two books. They’re practical, and useful, and give one what I consider to be all of the basics to get started in real estate investing. This book I found to be more meandering in the point it was trying to make, and less encouraging. Also, as another reviewer stated, it was pretty much a regurgitation of material in his other two books. In fact, when determining whether this book was necessary for my collection (I got it from the library), I compared it to his book on pre-foreclosures, and much of the information in this book is contained there. Get the other two books instead.The No-Nonsense Real Estate Investor’s Kit is a Thorough Reference Book (2007-08-03)
One of the most thorough real estate investment books one can get. Lucifer covers a lot of topics with a very readable style. There was actually too much information for me to take in on the first reading of the book. I find myself going back to the book to browse sections I missed the first time through. You can read it on a need-to-know basis, like I do. If I come across something that I need more information on, I can often find the answer to what I am looking for in this book.
Of particular value is his online Resource List at the end of the book. The author has listed email addresses for many useful websites. I liked the online Property Sales Information, where I first learned about Craigslist as a great online source for finding properties for sale. I like to search specifically for homes with guest houses, and Craigslist makes it easy to do that type of “specialty” search.
I also like the fact that he recommends useful products to make our investment businesses run more smoothly. It shows that he’s a down-to-earth guy who has been down the same path that we travel. For example, on page 65 he recommends the Desk Apprentice (designed by 2 participants in Donald Trump’s The Apprentice TV show) to keep your office desk organized, and on page 66 the Cab Commander for your car seat office. Lucifer knows that we have to spend a lot of time behind the wheel searching for properties, conducting drive-by property inspections, and driving to appointments.
This book is packed with useful information. Many books are called real estate investment reference books, but this book truly is one.
Terry Sprouse - author of the book, “Fix ‘em Up, Rent ‘em Out: How to Start Your Own House Fix-up and Rental Business in Your Spare Time.”Not Enough (2007-07-30)
When I started reading this book, I thought I was going to learn everything about how to be a profitable real estate investor. There is just no way you can cover everything this book tries to cover in 300 pages. Each chapter leaves you with too many unanswered questions. Though, I could see how this book might be a good starting point for anyone interested in investing in real estate.
If you haven’t heard of Tonja Demoff, you should give her book Bubble Proof: Real Estate Strategies that Work in any Market a look. Her book is a very easy read and it’s packed with information that will help you get started with the right mindset and the right information to begin investing in today’s market.Realistic Advice for Newbie Real Estate Investors (2007-06-21)
Thomas J. Lucier is one of the best real estate writers in the business today and he comes through with another winning book here. His advice is far from the “get-rich-quick” nonsense so many authors and pseudo-investors peddle in books on this site and elsewhere. As a real estate lawyer and investor for almost 25 years, I admire this man’s work greatly. Lucier is a genuine real estate investor and his clear, straight-forward, easy-to-follow, and honest investment suggestions always put his books a cut above so many others out there. The best part of his writing is how he breaks complex subjects into simple-to-digest pieces best designed for newbie investors wanting to get started in the real estate business. This book in particular debunks many of the get-rich-quick so-called “creative” real estate techniques like subject-to GET THE DEED buying and offers real world reasons why you should not do it, as opposed to so many authors that base their whole careers around such dangerous nonsense. I can’t praise this book enough for its clarity and practical information. There is not a single wasted page in the entire text. This is by far one the best real estate books being sold today in print.

The cornerstones of planning theory (2003-11-29)
The autors present a superb choice of classical texts on the field of urban planning. I recommend it to all of those who want a good reference on some of the most important ideas that have shaped this field until now.A very good selection (2000-02-21)
This book is a very good beginning for a student interested in urban and regional planning. The selections are great, one example is the classic article from Lindblom "The science of muddling through", with several arguments in favor to ‘incrementalism’. Another classic is Davidoff’s "Advocacy and pluralism in planning", and the text from Beauregard, Krumholz, Healy and Harvey.
