Boyds Collector?? This is the book you need.......2005-07-20
I have been looking for a collector's guide for the last several years and stumbled across this. As soon as the book arrived I could not wait to check the secondary prices for all my "friends".
This book will be a wonderful help in getting an extra rider on my homeowners policy to cover my friends should anything happen to them.
The pictures and descriptions in the book are outstanding and the supplemental information is invaluable. I have several friends that have multiple looks and it helped me to distinguish between the bears that have the same name but slightly different looks.
If you are looking for the ultimate collector's guide for Boyds Plush - you must get this book!!

This is a must for Boyds Collectors. Great pictures and great information. Love the Paw Notes. A vast improvement from the First edition.

This Bangzoom Tracker is FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!
Color pictures, info, tons and tons of stuff I have and want and needed to put in some order!
This is the way to do it with Sense and Brains!!!
If you collect Boyds-you MUST buy this Tracker.

Great Job Bethy And Bangzoom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fun with my 5 senses.......2000-07-19
I am a preschool teacher and bought this book to use in my classroom when I begin to teach the 5 senses. This is a great book for those who work with children and for those who have children. It is full of great ideas for lesson plans and for teaching your child the 5 senses. The illustrations and directions are easy to follow and make learning about the senses fun.

Customer Reviews:
disorganised format.......2005-09-03
This format is very strained. For each day of the year, the book has some titbit on an event in gaming that happened on that day. Then, there is a lengthier article on an unrelated gaming topic.
Some people seem to like this format. I just find it disorganised. Have a gander at the contents. A hodge podge of 365 topics. Now granted the articles are decently written. And they do cover a wide range of issues. But, alright. If you like, there is an element of serendipity here. You can thumb through the book, looking for what catches your eye. I'd rather have a book that is easier to use.

Customer Reviews:
Best ever!.......2006-01-19
This book is the best damn book in the history of mankind! The level of detail and craftsmanship is not to be believed. I bought fifty and handed them out on the street to change people's lives. There's a rumor that after reading this book, a scientist was inspired and found cures for 4 different diseases!
Actually, I bought the book and it's very cool. "Wild" Bill Abner is a gifted writer and his love of gaming comes through in every page.
One word describes this book: Fun!.......2006-01-19
Don't let the title of this book fool you, this is not your standard Almanac. Bill Abner has crammed more information into this title then I though possible.
The format is terrific with one page essays on the games of 2005, Closet classic's, older titles and of course my personal favortie the corporate graveyard. Besides being an incredible fun read, this book is informative. The little tid bits at the bottom of each page and the quotes from developer interviews just ads so much to the book.
No matter how much you think you know about games, Abner knows more and he will pass these gems of knowledge on to you in this title.
Brilliant and fun essays on an enormous range of gaming topics.......2006-01-18
Sticking a date and the word "almanac" on this really does a bit of a disservice to this fine collection of essays. The word conjures images of data and trivia when in reality Bill Abner has provided nothing less than a compelling piece of gaming literature. This work functions as so many things: a state-of-gaming address, an introduction to gaming sub-genres, a guide to classic gaming and, as they say, "much, much more."
The unifying thread which keeps this collection from disorder and disorganization is the lively and straightforward writing of Bill Abner. Abner is an absolute authority on gaming who couples his knowledge with a witty and direct writing style that never threatens to get geeky or preachy. The enthusiasm and energy Abner brought to this project is palpable not only in his writing but in the breadth, and sometimes obscurity, of the topics covered. He places games into the context of the greater gaming world, extending back to its obscure origins in the late 70's and early 80's, rather than simply reviewing 2005. Best of all for the reader, his enthusiasm is contagious and will leave you smiling, reminiscing and certainly searching out several new games.
A great book for gamers and for readers.......2006-01-15
I was introduced to gaming in 1994 when my wife bought me a bargin bin PC football game at Target. The game was Front Page Sports Football Pro, and it led me to start playing PC and then console games. Along the way, I read Bill Abner's reviews and thoughts in the form of website or magazine reviews or usenet posts and message board comments. His thoughts were always well written and intelligent. If he liked a game, chances are it was a good game.
One game in particular was High Heat 2000. I had been on the outs with baseball after the last big strike and had not given much of a thought to baseball - real or in a game - for several years. Bill's reviews of High Heat 1999 and comments on the upcoming 2000 version made me interested in a game that apparently had depth and a lot to offer, and eventually that game even brought me back to the real game on the field. After taking that good advice, I started following his reviews closely. He always gives his honest opinions and never tries to oversell or undersell a game. When there were bugs in High Heat, he pointed them out. When the AI was questionable in a game, he made that clear in his review -even if he understood that his audience might not care as much as he did about the dropped passes in NCAA 2005. There were games that Bill disliked but that I ended up playing and liking, but that did not stop me from enjoying his perspective.
He does the same thing in this book. He gives his honest thoughts about the games he has played. In fact, the best thing I can say about this book is that there are pages about games that I could care less about and will never play - but I read them anyway. I am a limited gamer - mostly sports games with an occasional FPS thrown in for variety. But that did not stop me from enjoying his essays on adventure games or puzzle games or even children's games.
The reason is that he is a good writer. These essays and reviews are written by someone who is passionate about gaming and has the knowledge and imagination to convey his thoughts and opinions. He was faced with a difficult task - writing about a subject that moves faster than the speed of the internet and games that are old news a week after release. But what he writes is not old news. The games may be months or even years old, but the essays hold up. I have no doubt that I will discover a game from the pages of this book that I would not have played otherwise. It might be an old game I pick up in a bargin bin, or it may be a new game by a developer he brings to my attention in this book.
If you like playing computer or video games and you like good writing, this book is for you. If you want to learn about video games this is a great place to start. The book is well written and well edited. It is easy on the eyes - not an issue to many gamers but an old timer like me appreciates publishers who use a good font/font size and utilize intelligent layout and production values. It is also well priced. While you are waiting for that new game to appear on the shelves, you can spend your time reading this book.
The Perfect Book to Get Caught Up.......2006-01-04
I bought this for my dad, who loves games but doesn't really know what's out there. I can tell him what I think he should buy, but this book was a perfect read for him. There was a lot of stuff I hadn't even heard of like the game Fate. Great stuff. Dad particularly liked the Bargain Bin stuff (good games for $20 or less.) It's a pretty big book but it's a very very easy, fast, and fun read. It's a very unique book. I dont know of anything else like it.
I personally enjoyed the grab bag essays and even though I already know most of the games discussed in the book, for a newbie gamer or for someone just getting back into the hobby this is A+ material.
A word of warning: this is NOT a book to buy if you want to dig deep into each game. Each game gets 1 page but there's SO much content in it I think it makes it a faster and better read. Plua you can go online if you want to get more info.
Also, this is not a book for people wanting all the dirt on the PS3. It's barely covered. Still, I think it's worth getting, particularly if you're not a super hardcore gamer.

Yes!.......2004-01-02
I was recently diagnosed as having hypoglycemia. My physician recommeded reading some books on this subject and scheduling an appointment with a nutritionist. She had recommeded this book along with hypoglycemia for dummies. These two books have given me options as far as what I should be eating to maintain my glucose levels during the course of my day as well as giving me options as no food is "off limits". If you're in a similar situation or even just want to lose weight, without starvation, this is the book!
This is a Pocket Guide!!.......2003-12-08
I had to write this review to counter the other review - this is a "pocket guide" - a small book packed with the information needed to understand glycemic index and what it means in your everyday diet. This book was never meant to be a complete guide but does offer an easy to understand review of glycemic index, a weekly meal plan, substitutes to normally consumed foods, snacks and snacking tips and a small table of GI values. I found it amazingly complete and very informative for the price - a good place to start!!
Not enough items listed.......2003-12-03
I'd hoped this book would help me make good choices with foods on a low to med carb diet. However, there are big gaps in the foods it lists and is generally pretty useless.

Customer Reviews:
So few items listed, it's virtually useless ..........2003-12-11
I purchased this because I wanted information on the glycemic index of foods beyond what is readily available on the Web. The additional foods it does have are brands that are either obsure in our area or obviously not anything anyone on a low glycemic plan would consider eating. Not sure what the authors were thinking here ...
The only thing you will lose reading this is your patience!.......2003-08-15
This is a confusing, contradictory, disjointed book with a very limited list of low GI foods at the end of the book. The first "red flag" was in the preface when it said, "This book has been written to be read alongside The Glucose Revolution, so in the event you haven't already consulted that book, please be sure to do so, for a more comprehensive discussion..." On page 25 it states, "Calorie-laden foods...such as alcohol, chocolate, potato chips and candy, provide few nutients.....they are best limited to no more than one or two servings per day." On page 37 it states, "Eat low carbohydrate foods such as carrots, broccoli and salads freely, but don't eat them instead of the high carbohydrate foods." This book is very hard to follow. In my opinion, the book seems to be thrown together just to get it out on the market quickly.
I am very disappointed in the Reader's Digest for recommending this book.
You Lose!.......2000-04-18
Short, sweet and a great reminder to exercise more, reduce fat calories and consume carbohydrates with a low glycemic index rating. Clearly explained, my choices of carbos will change because of the information in this book. Unfortunately, their A-Z table of low GI foods is very limited, which puts a damper on really using this information to the fullest extent. I enjoyed the suggestions for meals and do believe I can lose weight by following the recommendations in this little, but impactful book.
The Glucose Revolution Pocket Guide to Losing Weight.......2000-04-16
Finally, after many years of not being able to lose weight on low calorie, low fat diets, I have succeeded. Who knew that rice cakes and no fat pretzels were part of the problem. The book is extremely informative and has a wonderful selection of low G.I.meals.
Product Description
The bestselling The G. I. Factor, recently updated and republished as The New Glucose Revolution, revolutionised the way we think about food via the glycemic index. This pocket guide shows how eating to lose weight is easy with low GI foods because you don't have to go hungry.
Not all foods are created equal when it comes to losing weight. The latest medical research shows that low GI carbohydrate foods have special advantages because they fill you up and keep you satisfied for longer.
Carbohydrates are natural appetite suppressants, and of all carbohydrate foods, those with a low GI prevent hunger pangs longer without providing excess kilojoules.
This pocket guide will help you eat yourself slim with low GI foods and includes:
a 7-day low GI plan for losing weight.
GI values, fat content and carbohydrate content tables of more than 400 tested foods.
