Actual Size (Bccb Blue Ribbon Nonfiction Book Award (Awards)) How big is a crocodile? What about a tiger, or the world’s largest spider? Can you imagine a tongue that is two feet long or an eye that’s bigger than your head?
Sometimes facts and figures don’t tell the whole story.
Sometimes you need to see things for yourself at their actual size.
Customer Review: Innovative, creative, inspiring
My 6 year has a ton of books and takes out a ton of books out of the libary. As a result, his bar is pretty high for books that wow him. After I bought this book, he asked me to read it to him every day for 2 weeks and it’s still a favorite!

Customer Review: BEST COMPUTER BOOK AUTHOR IN THE WORLD
This is such a great book. You really can be a dummy and you will still learn everything you need to know about WORD. Ditto for Dan Gookin’s book on PCs for Dummies. Mr. Gookin’s books are extremely well organized and excellently written, but the thing I love most about them is the humor. They really are funny and that is a big boon to the reader, especially one who dreads dry instruction. I read this book cover to cover and it has saved me hours of pain at the computer.
Customer Review: It Helps to Know the Lingo
I just switched to Word 2007. I found that the terms for commands had changed so that I had to read the whole book in order to find what I wanted because I could not always find the term I was familiar with in the index. The book does cover most of what is needed in order to use Word 2007. I can’t fault the writers for the changes that Microsoft made in their belief that they were making the program simpler to use.

The Go-Giver: A Little Story About a Powerful Business Idea An engaging book that brings new relevance to the old proverb Give and you shall receive

The Go-Giver tells the story of an ambitious young man named Joe who yearns for success. Joe is a true go-getter, though sometimes he feels as if the harder and faster he works, the further away his goals seem to be. And so one day, desperate to land a key sale at the end of a bad quarter, he seeks advice from the enigmatic Pindar, a legendary consultant referred to by his many devotees simply as the Chairman.

Over the next week, Pindar introduces Joe to a series of go-givers: a restaurateur, a CEO, a financial adviser, a real estate broker, and the Connector, who brought them all together. Pindar s friends share with Joe the Five Laws of Stratospheric Success and teach him how to open himself up to the power of giving.

Joe learns that changing his focus from getting to giving putting others interests first and continually adding value to their lives ultimately leads to unexpected returns.

Imparted with wit and grace, The Go-Giver is a heartwarming and inspiring tale that brings new relevance to the old proverb Give and you shall receive.
Customer Review: Parable based on ideas of Napoleon Hill
This really is a nice little story. It is just such a shame that neither of the authors gave credit to Napoleon Hill for the title or any portion of the development of the idea. Even the reviewers compare it to “Who Moved My Cheese?” without realizing that the original idea was espoused in 1937 by Mr. Hill. If one is going to stand on the shoulders of those who walked before, he should at least say “thank you”.
