Review:Being a retired criminal investigator I find Brad's books and TV show both entertaining and satisfying. Although a bit superficial at times, he and his team take the reader (or TV watcher) on a fascinating ride looking behind the scenes.

Review:Fantastic book! Great meld of the culture, the personalities, the behaviours that allowed a very small group of exceptionally talented folks alter our society (for good or bad - your call).
The descriptions of how the group worked together, albeit dysfunctionally often, was illuminating. Read more

Review:I eagerly awaited the arrival of this Star Wars set and I am happy to say I am not disappointed. The set came came tripled box, so it arrived in perfect condition.

Review:This is not a bad collection of game information, howevr it really just wasn't what I was looking for. This being said I would recommend this to people looking to learn some more commonly played games, just don't expect to find alot of information for card games that do not use a French suited bicycle deck. (In other words a poker deck). I was really hoping to find some new games using Spanish suited Baraja decks or German suited Magyar decks. Read more
