Clear and informative, 30 Mar 2013
This is a really interesting and well-presented book. Although I'd never attempt the repairs myself, the book gives you a very clear understanding of what's going on inside the piano.

Great, massive! Allow a little thawing before emptying, 30 Mar 2013
This product is sturdy, massive, and comes with its own base unit to stabilise the tray. It's very hard to get the ice cubes out of the tray as soon as you take the tray from the freezer, but if you give it five minutes for slight thawing to take place it's then very easy to get the ice cubes out. The ice cubes themselves are pretty big, so you don't need many in each glass.

The only keyboard that doesn't give me RSI, 26 Mar 2013
I can get RSI in my forearms, and this is the only keyboard I've ever had that doesn't do that (and that includes ergonomic keyboards!) If you want a little utility that maps some more of the Apple keys to make them work on a Windows PC (eg mapping the volume keys), with an on-screen graphic similar to what you see on the Mac, try the free download at [...] (note that this is nothing to do with me, I just found it while searching, and it seems to work well).

Good, sturdy, do the job well., 6 Jan 2013
This is my second set of these bookends, after I ran out of space on my first shelf! They do a very good job, are reasonably priced, and don't take up any shelf space.

One of the best business books I've read for a long time, 6 Jan 2013
My friend and I agree that this is one of the best business books we've read for a long time. Whether there's anything radically new in here I don't know, but it's a very good presentation of a very compelling case for how hard you need to work to be successful. The section on aligning your expectations to expect that everything will be very hard is especially good. The book is perhaps a little long, but well worth a read.

Does the job perfectly, at a bargain price, 12 April 2012
It's nice and easy to get the Kindle in and out of this case without fiddling around. Whilst not rock solid hard, it's certainly hard enough to protect the Kindle - I've had mine bashing about in my rucksack for months and it's been perfectly fine. The case is a little larger than it needs to be, but at this price I'm very happy with it.

Short, clear, with lots of practical examples - a legendary book, 7 April 2012
If you ever struggle with knowing the precise punctuation to use, this is the book to buy. It's clear, concise, and full of examples. It's very easy to look up something if you're not quite sure. I keep it by my desk all the time, and recommend it to everyone.

A useful, practical reference - you've got to have it!, 7 April 2012
I use this book lots, and always keep it handy when I'm writing. The explanations are long enough to be clear and comprehensive, and there are lots of examples of how words should and should not be used. Some reviewers have commented that this third edition isn't true to Fowler himself. Well, language changes, and given that Fowler himself died in 1933, of course this third edition differs from the original! Quite right too! If you want the original, buy the original. If you want advice on how to write today, you've got to buy this.

It worked for me!, 7 April 2012
This book is packed with practical advice that is quick and easy to implement. It worked for me! The section on blocking out time is especially important if you want to be productive.

Easy to read, easy to understand hugely thought-provoking - best book I've read in a long time!, 4 Jan 2012
I love this book. It's written in very simple language, yet covers some hugely powerful and important ideas. I found it gripping. It's beautifully illustrated, and a joy to read. I'm sure you'll love it too.
