Good for the price:
This bookcase looks very nice once assembled and is able to hold A LOT of books. However, it is true that the pieces that frame the front of the bookcase are about a 1/4 inch too short, so there is a small gap (that I chose to place at the bottom of the bookcase so it's really not noticable). The other MAJOR problem with assembly is that those same pieces DID not have pre-drilled holes to guide you in placing them, so do not order this unless you have a drill and some experience with assembling furniture or... more info
Great if used as corner piece:
I was looking for a bookcase for my daughters' room and found just what I was looking for. This is a nice bookcase. The only drawback is that there is no wall anchor system and also it seems to want to tip backwards if not secured properly. I have wedged it into a corner and added books/toys and this thing is not budging! It has a high end look to it and I think it was a steal!
came broken twice:
We ordered two of these bookcases. When they arrived, one had a broken "c" board. We called Amazon and they had another bookcase sent to us. We put together the complete case and waited. Well, the replacement bookcase came and it also had a broken "C" board. We ended up keeping a broken one because we needed two and had already put the first good one together. We will do some "lower Alabama" reinforcing of the "C" board side and will hide it against the wall. Amazon was great in their service and because of... more info
A few issues give this library an average grade.:
This library is very similar to the Sauder and Busch libraries on the market. The wood pattern lamination is paper thin so they must be used gently. The shelves are thick (7/8") although not actually 1" as advertised. When assembled the unit is a bit wobbly so if you are going to load it up with books or display objects you may want to add metal corner stiffners and substitute a piece of 1/8" finished plywood for the cardboard back. This will really stiffen the unit. The decorative molding is MDF (medium... more info
Customer Review: So I got this book because of the movie. I struggled to read it. The author goes into tooooo much detail about things and it just drags on. She also writes the book for higher level readers which turns me off since there is toooo much detail
Customer Review: As an academician, I do a lot of research work. This book has made it very easy for me to do the proper referencing in my research papers. On top of this, I like the details on research writing such as 'How to express ideas and reducing bias in language'. As English is not my first language, this... more info
Customer Review: Kaplan's "Sharp Writing" is a practical overview of grammar and usage, but is quite basic. If you are looking for a book that will provide you with more "Style" advice than grammar, I would recommend Style: Toward Clarity and Grace (Chicago Guides to Writing, Editing, and Publishing). I would... more info
Customer Review: The book is generally poorly written. It is extremely colloquial, and thus could be of use for teaching younger students. However, for an educated audience (college level), it is extremely weak and close to useless. I was assigned this book for an introductory writing course at my college and was... more info
Customer Review: This seems to be a pretty comprehensive guide to English grammar which is to the point. There are plenty of useful examples and it covers common mistakes as well as how to write and speak clearly. Best of all it's free. What's not to like?
Customer Review: Had Twain stopped after the first section, in which he describes riverboat piloting and his exploits therein, I would have come away with a positive impression of the book. His piloting writings were entertaining and interesting, even though not particularly relevant in today's world. However... more info
Customer Review: Jane Austen's first completed novel is lighter and more humorous in tone than her subsequent work. It is however, as beautifully written as that later work - there was, as always with Austen, a lot of rewriting before publication, which in this case was posthumous - and it is in no sense an inferior... more info
Customer Review: I had to buy this for my honors thesis course in college, but ended up never having to use it. You could easily find anything useful in this book for free online. This book was too long and too expensive.
Customer Review: Our order was scheduled for 24 hour delivery. It disappeared. Called Mon. about Thursday's shipment. (Fri. due date.) I was told I could get a replacement by talking to someone at the end of the day. Replacement was sent without an additional call. (Thanks!) Product arrived Wed. evening.
Customer Review: My daughter had to read this book over the summer for a grade in her Honors English class. I liked the fact that it was cheap, but on the other hand, what I paid for shipping I could have went ahead and purchased it out of the store. I wasn't to thrilled about that!
Customer Review: Amazon has started lumping together all of the reviews for the various versions of a title, even if the review doesn't pertain to that particular version. The review by Forestlawn, above, is a prime example. Their review has to do, apparently, with a 48 page printed book, and not the audio book... more info
Customer Review: Research is most definitely a craft and as with all research books, there is a great deal written about scientific research and medical research. Generic research guides do little to offer help to Musicological research. Yet this is a helpful resource tool if taken generically.
Customer Review: where to bloody begin.... ah.. in my junior year i and everyone else in class was forced to read the book and watch the horrible origanal slow and boring movie. after we got done with it almost everyone in the whole dang room yelled out that it suck, right at the same time. both this and the great... more info
Customer Review: Great job! I ordered a total of three books with my order. I paid extra fees for quick shipping, but not for this book. However, this book arrived first.
Customer Review: It was not the book advertised--close, it was the red dot 2009 MLA updates but no APA updates. My professor said it will work--but really need updated version. Need to be careful you are getting the right product. I did not realize it was the wrong one until my professor said it does not have the... more info
Customer Review: This book is a must have for anyone attending college that has to write papers. It will guide you through citing your references correctly. I would have been lost without it. I was happy that this book was cheaper on Amazon versus our bookstore, and other retailers in the area.
Customer Review: It's a very helpful book to any writer.
It will have you taking a closer look at how you write and edit your work. Should you hold the craft of writing dear enough, you'll never write without it. Prepare to realize many of the simple writing mistakes you make every day that, while proper in... more info
