4.0 out of 5 stars Comfortable and well-made, 19 May 2013
Amazon Verified Purchase(What is this?)
A comfortable and well-made chair, shipped from Germany - my only complaint is that it wasn't packed very well and could have been damaged in transit - however I was lucky and it wasn't. Provides good neck support which is exactly what I needed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Helps to relax and improve circulation, 19 May 2013
Amazon Verified Purchase(What is this?)
If you have back pain, or find it difficult to relax and/or sleep this is for you - it helps with back pain, relaxes and promotes natural refreshing sleep. It may be difficult to get used to start with but once you get used it's pure pleasure.

Singers' Liturgical Latin

Price: £11.84

2.0 out of 5 stars Good intentions, not enough attention to detail, 22 Mar 2013
Amazon Verified Purchase(What is this?)
The intentions of this book are great - to help sing in liturgical Latin. The end result however contains many misspellings, inaccuracies, translation doesnt match Latin text, etc. A disappointment unfortunately as far as I am concerned.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent narration of a spiritual masterpiece, 20 Feb 2013
Amazon Verified Purchase(What is this?)
This is an excellent narration of a spiritual masterpiece by St Gregory of Narek. The first 12 tracks are in Armenian and the last 4 in English. I didn't quite like the English narration but Armenian is very good. The narration is accompanied by background music, quite well chosen. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent value, 16 Jan 2013
Amazon Verified Purchase(What is this?)
This is a good quality case for good price - half the price of the Amazon case but I wouldn't say it's worse in any way. Fits paperwhite snugly and the leather, although artificial, is good quality and doesn't look cheap. Recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely fantastic, 10 Jan 2013
Amazon Verified Purchase(What is this?)
This is a treasure for anyone interested in the history, meaning and interconnections between words. It's not just a stroll but a tour de force through all the various actors factors and events that have shaped English language. The hardcover version makes an excellent gift and the Kindle version is very handy for research and sharing excerpts.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful story and a beautiful book, 15 Dec 2012
This is a brilliantly illustrated and printed hardcover book with both the traditional story narrated and illustrated for children and the history behind the St George. Will make a beautiful present.

1.0 out of 5 stars Pretentious doesn't even begin to describe it, 15 Dec 2012
Even the thought of someone even thinking of single-handedly writing anything even remotely comparable to the Hebrew Bible and the New Testament put together is pitiful and laughable - no matter who the author is or how good the book is. Many if not most readers of this work probably have just browsed the Bible a while ago, didn't get it or didn't like what they got, and now are delighted to find something bit less taxing and more to their liking. Good for them!

1.0 out of 5 stars Not high quality at all, 10 Dec 2012
= Durability:1.0 out of 5 stars  = Fun:1.0 out of 5 stars  = Educational:1.0 out of 5 stars

This is not a high quality product contrary to what the description says. Both the cover and the paper are at best of average quality; the paper is OK but the cover doesn't really look nice.
