Wast of time and money
This book is a wast of time and money. Basically you get the forms but no way to change them to suit your business. The CD is is Adobe and you are unable to do aany modification to the form, just print as is. Also, the Adobe reader included on the CD is corupted, and you have to get it elsware if you need it.

The Encyclopedia of Restaurant Training is a no-nonsense, thorough resource covering the necessary training for all positions in the food service industry, from professional chef to maitre d to bartender and much more.

No background knowledge in any trade is needed to grasp explicit instructions ranging from a step-by-step breakdown of the hostess job to the proper order of service for a luncheon handout to how one can go about creating a memorable presentation to food service employees, and much more. A CD-ROM accompanies this absolute must-have for anyone preparing for a career in food service, or charged with the responsibility of training food service recruits.
A Complete package for the Food Service Industry

A MUST
If I were to be deprived of all the trading books in my collection but one, that would beThe Encyclopedia. Unlike other literature on the patterns, in this book you will not find clauses like "most of the time", "usually", "seldom". All the information as it'srelated to the pattern trading is thoroughly backtested.
Dictionary for good
This book is just like a dictionary that you can always turn to whenever you have unfamiliar words in the stock markets. It's a good company that you can keep by you side and frequently flip to pages of charts which you are foreign to.

without doubt this book is a complete cyclopedia of chart patternsbut some parts are so streched . ... Read more

Research oriented traders, read this one!!
Wow!For the research oriented person, this book is great!Not
Best Book on Building Trading Strategies
This is by far the most complete and advanced work I've read on the subject.However, read Robert Pardo's "Design, Testing, and Optimization of Trading Systems" first if you are new to backtesting.

A must read for strategy traders
This is a good book.Everyone who is thinking about trading and/or is trading already should get a copy of the book.There isn't any "holy grail" strategy in this book, by the way.Rather, this book is about teaching how all these different indicators have performed under strict test conditions and unveils some of the mysteries about different strategies that people have talked about over the years.IMO, the author's work can be the basis of a great system.The first step has already been taken by the author, and you just have to elaborate it to add your flair and style.Happy trading! ...

Impressive customer service !
I e-mailed the publisher to ask for an update of a celebrity address. He was fast with an answer. He also mentioned he has started a new service to autograph collectors. He will answer any question on the subject of autoghaph collecting for FREE!
Here's The List of Celebrity Autographs
I have known David Moore for many years and he is the only author of celebrity directories that uses and updates his address list on daily basis. For me, here is a list of celebrities who I have contacted and received autographs through the mail. They are: Sarah Jessica Parker, Bill Gates, Roy Clark, Gillian Anderson, Nicholas Cage, Bill Cosby, James Garner, Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, Gary Trudeau, Olivia Newton-John, Brandi Chastain, James Watson, Sandra Day O'Connor, Harmon Killebrew, George Bush, Betty Ford, Jimmy Carter, Leann Rhimes, Muhammad Ali, Angela Landsbury, Reba McEntire, Jay Leno, Faith Hill, Tommy John, Tom Hanks, Michael Eisner, Nolan Ryan, Tony Bennet, Colin Powell, Robert Duvall, John Mellencamp, Whoopi Goldberg and many others. If you want excellent results and great customer service, I highly recommend David Moore's book.

This Author is an Expert
After I purchased this book I contacted the author, Mr. Moore to ask him about collecting autographs by index cards or by photographs. He was prompt and very informative with his reply. If you want questions answered about auotgraph collecting, get in touch with him, you will be happy you did. ... Read more

When it is good it is very good
This is a good example of the strengths of specialized encyclopedias. Unfortunately, it also provides some examples of the weaknesses.

Economics is a social science and economic history is a story of human interaction in the economic sphere.It tells the story of markets,of organizations,of institutions,of small and large communities,from tiny medieval village to the huge communal economies of the totalitarian regimes of the 20th century.

Keep this reference by your side to help your data tell its story
I think anyone who solves serious problems by analyzing data will want to own a copy of this book.Being able to organize data into the right visual image can often make no less a difference than that between seeing the answer to the problem vs. getting lost in the complexity and variation in the data.
excellent reference guide for graphs/charts
this is an excellent book if you are working with different types of graphs or charts.we use it as the bible while programming gui tools to create graphs.if you are looking to make meaningful graphs, this book can clue you in to the different types of graphs that will best illustrate your data.

A great source for graphical ideas.
This book is 400+ pages, and I would estimate it contains

Indicator formulas are not in Metastock, only some trading sytems are
For the earlier review commenting that the formulas are only in Metastock I must comment that this is not the case.
The Encyclopedia of Technical Market Indicators
I have been in Technical analysis for more than 4 years and have many books on the subject but of all the books I have "The Encyclopedia of Technical Market Indicators" is the most misguided title ever. Motivation for this statement is that the book is almost like an empty vessel. The author relates to numerous indicators and indicates how successful or unsuccessful they are but without explanations which make it difficult to comprehend. Also nowhere in the book does he indicate how these indicators should be used which, in my opinion, should be the essence of a book with this title. The author attempts to correct this on his website at: www.robertwcolby.com.

The Encyclopedia of Technical Market Indicators, Second Edit
A must for the serious investor. A concise and easy to understand examination of technical market indicators.Mr. Colby's book is invaluable when determining the usefulness of indicators.This book is about as close as you can get to a "one stop shop" for technical research. ... Read more

Awesome Book
This is a handy book that can be used for years to come.It covers a broad spectrum of subjects relating to communications.

The Encyclopedia of Business Letters, Fax Memos, and E-Mail
Exceptional Book, full credit to the Author, this is the best book I have come across, Iwill recommend this to everyday Jo bloggs user like myself who were struggling to right decent letters.

Little guidance
This was very basic and had few examples to choose from when trying to form a letter.What little guidance received was common knowledge.This is best suited for high school students. ... Read more

I loved reading this book. Was excellent reading during the 4th of July.

Editorial Review

The modern conundrum: while the art of letter writing is fast extinguishing, the need for expressive, impressive, appropriate letters is as great as ever. The result? A mortifying amount of miserable missives that sadly miss the mark. E-mail informality is all very well for one's sister in Toledo or one's colleague three cubicles down, but when one needs to promote a product or raise funds, seek a job or request a favor, effectively complain, apologize, or reprimand, or send a letter of condolence, the typically confident and competent achiever gets noodly in the knees. Write a thank-you letter? The prospective correspondent is suddenly busy cleaning his or her desk and organizing the office files.Read more

Mediocre
This book is mediocre. I'd expect a book on "letter writing" to provide examples of unusual and creative letters; letters that would catch and leave a fresh impression on the reader, but it's not the case.
For a small business owner not the average consumer...
I purchased this book thinking that the author provided a voice to capture my thoughts when dealing with merchants. Why I ever doubted my ability to write my experience with a product or services, I do not know. As a template, THE BOOK is very useful
The Lifetime Encyclopedia of Letters has come in handy for me on several occasions (both business and personal). The book itself is broken down into categories, and within these are outlines, models, indexes, open/closing sentences, and example letters for each category. Read more

I purchased this book as a refresher for past training and hoping to find some new ideas. A lot of this book relates to more European spa equipment, including Kneipp baths, and includes treatments like 'put on cold wet socks and wait until they are warm'.

Great idea, but...
It is a great idea to publish a book like this. When I received this book I was happy, but a few minutes later I was already disappointed. I own a few actual statistics from the same company (Moore Research Center) and couldn`t believe, that they have hidden the most important statistics. For example feeder cattle: in their statistic they published 2 trades with a winning chance of 100 %. In this book they published zero! For example lean hog: in their statistic: 9 trade-opportunities with a winning chance of 100 %. In this book: only 2! They filled this book with 80 % chances. I don`t know, why they have hidden the higher chances?! Somehow I have the impression, this company don't want to tell us the trades with the highest probability. What a pity!

Great computer analysis; wish I was a computer so I could understand it!
This book is packed with great spread analysis. The insight, however, is just fair to "middling" (Ha!Ha! - look up middling!). And I found the writing extremely poor, for it was confusing. Thank God (and the writers) for this because it made me dissect the spreads to understand them. I've only scratched the surface, but my confusion has IMHO given me some valuable insights:
Excellent Seasonal Spread Trading Reference
The book is full of seasonal trading ideas and statistics and gives an excellent understanding of the most important markets and there seasonal behaviours. It is recommendet to each serious spread trader. All the statisticall entries and exits shown in this book together with the right chart reading (i.e. Joe Ross, Trading Spreads and Seasonals) is all a spread trader needs. ... Read more
