Fun Learning Baseball.......2007-08-28
This book was so interesting it was a hit at my Grandson's party. The party of boys loved the information but also the activities it included to make learning basball history fun. Parents and other adults loved filling in on some of what they had either seen or experieced to add to the festivies. I recommend it very highly!
Wonderful resource for baseball.......2007-06-26
This book is a delightful and funny introduction to baseball. We read it to our 6 1/2 year old who loved it. It's a nice way to teach him about the game and some of the terminology.

Brian Tracy Breaks It Down.......2007-07-24
Easy to read, presents material in a way that unlocks the concept in your mind.
This is a must have book for any sales professional.......2006-08-10
Our sales team read this book together and we credit this book as one of the most helpful sales books we found. Sales books like "Be a Sales Superstar" helped us go from one of the worst sales teams in a fortune 500 company to one of the best. Brian Tracy gives simple, practical tips that produce immediate results. This is a must have sales book! David Otis, Author of "Walk Fast, Talk Loud and Smile.
A summary of Tracy's 40 years of sales experience........2006-01-15
If you want to learn anything, learn from an expert. Brian Tracy has been in sales si nce he was 10 years old and is an established sales professional as well as arguably the best sales trainer in the business. His tape series The Psychology of Selling has sold nearly a million copies. Brian has trained over 500,000 sales people all over the world.
Be A Sales Superstar encapsulates the best of what Brian has learned. It is well worth reading again and again. Also recommend The Psychology of Selling and Advanced Sales Strategies by Brian.
People who have bashed the book obviously are not sales people or where in sales and failed after a short stint. I don't know anyone who is successful in selling who is not using these techniques and does not recommend Brian Tracy.
The 21 Habits of Super Successful Salespeople.......2005-12-17
As usually overlook n egative reviewers and did that again before buying this great new book by Brian Tracy. What a shame that some people live such boring lives that they have nothing better to do than bash books they never bought or read.
Be A Sales Superstar is fresh and new. It is not the same as Tracy's 457 page Advanced Selling Strategies. How could it be? This book is less than half that size.
This book discloses the top 21 habits of super successful salespeople. Whether n ew or experienced this book canhelp you be all that you want to be in your selling career.
A Big Little Book.......2005-12-11
This book may not be a swelling 400 pages like Tracy's Advanced Selling Strategies. At 154 pages, Be A Sales Superstar is smaller than your average book but packed with useful information like presenting, overcoming objections, educating the customer, the AIDA model and more.
This book makes a great companion to Advanced Selling Strategies and The Psychology of Selling.
Highly recommended.

To Be Read During Dark and Stormy Nights.......2000-07-19
Charlie Brown goes to a Sports Banquet with Linus and Snoopy in hopes of seeing his hero Joe Shabotnik. Snoopy gets reported to the Head Beagle by Frieda (those 2 never did get along!)for not meeting his quota for rabbit chasing. Later, Snoopy is elected as Head Beagle (but finds the job tedious) and gets nominated Rookie of the Year! Linus is bribed by his grandmother to give up that old trusted blanket (give it up, Grandma!). Lucy takes care of Snoopy when Charlie Brown is away on vacation ("If you were my dog, I'd fix you good!"). And finally, you'll get a sneak preview of It Was a Dark and Stormy Night!

Fantastic.......2006-02-05
An audio course is absolutely the best way to study the history of music. Greenberg is a great guide, consistently interesting, enthusiastic, and funny. He provides historical context of the times as well as analysis of the music itself.
Product Description
This is The Teaching Company's showcase course, a comprehensive history and analysis of Western music from ancient times up to early 20th century modernism, in six parts (24 cassettes, 48 lectures).
Book Description
Walter Payton was arguably the greatest running back in the history of professional football. A star for the Chicago Bears from 1974 to 1987, Payton rushed for a National Football League career record of 16,726 yards. Known to football fans everywhere as "Sweetness," he helped lead the Bears to a Super Bowl victory following the 1985 season and over the years established himself as one of the sports world's most popular and personable role models. Payton was beloved by his teammates, idolized by his fans, and embraced by business partners. He captured the heart of the Windy City with a graciousness complimented by a spirit of humility and a wonderful sense of humor.
Millions mourned in early November 1999 when Payton, a youthful 45, succumbed to cancer after a nearly year-long battle with various health problems. Even in his dying days, however, Payton maintained his dignity, a spirit of community charity, and a legendary ability to pull off practical jokes that would send friends and family reeling with laughter. Before he passed away, he reportedly also renewed his commitment to his Christian faith. His death on November 1 coincided with the day known as All Saints Day in many Christian quarters.
In Walter Payton, dozens of his contemporaries, former teammates, coaches, childhood and college chums, business partners, fans, and friends offer in their own words their favorite memories and anecdotes of this man they loved so much. Walter Payton is a warm, entertaining, and inspiring book about a man whose fame transcended the sport in which he competed into the widest realms of life itself.

Book Description
Sometimes humorous, sometimes tongue-in-cheek, sometimes deeply sad and moving -- such are the biographies of fifteen Texas bad girls. Husband killers, run-of-the-mill murderers, whorehouse madams, prostitutes, gamblers, bank robbers, floozies -- each contributes immeasurably to a rowdy, ribald history that dates from the state's earliest settlers to yesterday's biggest news story.
Customer Reviews:
A Disappointment.......2002-05-06
Great potential for a fun, interesting read is often wasted in "Texas Bad Girls." The author has some fine story-telling skills, and some of the yarns are genuinely fascinating. Unfortunately, the author seems in love with his own cleverness, and ruins a good many of the stories by inserting distracting quips and jokes. The humor works sometimes, but too often it serves to mark this book as the work of an amateur, one step up from a vanity project.
The author appears to have done a great deal of original research, but explains none of it and cites no sources beyond a bibliography of older books and articles at the back. This, along with the wise-acre writing style, robs the book of credibility. I think Mr. Butts has potential as an entertaining writer of light history, and I'd like to see him set his standards a little higher.
Fun History.......2001-01-24
If you thought history couldn't be fun, read this book! The author's style is delightful, sprinkled with humorous and original expressions. Hope he's writing another!
Texas Bad Girls Gone Good.......2000-12-13
This author has a unique and gifted way of taking simple historical facts and turning them into a wonderfully written "Texas tale" filled with humorous quips and folklore. Texas Bad Girls is a must read for those that love the wild days of the west but are willing to take a different ride down that dusty trail. The statement, "Stand by your man", is quickly dismissed as a simple cliche. These women were tough and real and they take you right along every step of the way. A great romp...and some of them were experts at romping! A fun read and a must read. Looking forward to the next adventure. Good job Butts.
TEXAS BAD GIRLS.......2000-12-07
I KNOW THIS AUTHOR. HE HAS BEEN A DEAR FRIEND AND BROTHER-IN-LAW FOR MORE THAN 30 YEARS. I HAD THE HONOR OF READING SNIPPETS,EXCERPTS AND ROUGH DRAFTS AS THIS WORK WAS BEING COMPILED. AS JIMMY TRAVELLED THE HIGHWAYS, BYWAYS AND BACK ROADS OF TEXAS, VISITING LIBRARIES,OLD CHURCHES,SCHOOLS AND COURTHOUSES, HE LEAFED THROUGH MOUNTAINS OF ARCHIVED MATERIALS,READ OLD NEWS PAPERS AND DUG IN BOXES OF JUNK IN SEARCH OF MATERIAL TO AUTHENTICATE HIS STORIES. THE TENDER LOVING CARE HE PUT INTO HIS RESEARCH IS VERY EVIDENT IN THE FINISHED PRODUCT. HIS DESCRIPTIVE TALENTS BRINGS EACH CHARACTER INTO FOCUS FOR ME. I CAN CLOSE MY EYES AND MENTALLY SEE EACH WOMAN. I'VE NEVER BEEN A STUDENT OF HISTORY, BUT PROBABLY WOULD HAVE BEEN AN "A" STUDENT HAD HISTORY BOOKS BEEN WRITTEN WITH THIS MUCH HUMOR.
TEXAS BAD GIRLS WILL MAKE YOU LAUGH, MAKE YOU CRY AND MAKE YOU WANT MORE. READ IT ONCE. WAIT A COUPLE OF WEEKS AND READ IT AGAIN. IT'S BETTER THE SECOND TIME. I LOOK FORWARD TO JIMMY'S NEXT BOOK WITH EAGER ANTICIPATION.
texas bad girls get good reviews.......2000-11-30
I read this book the day I bought it. I thought it was a well researched, and was very well written. I enjoyed reading about the history of these women. I hope the author will write one about those bad Texas men to go with it. The author seems to have a flare for writing about historical events as if he was actually there. It was great.
