rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author tortillaboy - It was actually during the writing of my last review, on Sam's Teach Yourself HTML in 10 minutes, when I realized that I should look for an HTML book for reference purposes.

Thu, 4 Apr 2002 16:56:52 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author tortillaboy - Sams Publishing has been around for a long time. I remember using (and liking) their text books when I was studying Audio Engineering in the 80's.

Wed, 3 Apr 2002 15:05:14 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author tortillaboy - I must admit, I was initially attracted to this book because it is small and inexpensive ($9.99).

Captain Underpants : The Legend Begins

Tue, 30 Oct 2001 19:54:06 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author tortillaboy - The mere mention of the title of this book usually elicits a dramatic "eye roll" or at least a polite chuckle.

Thu, 18 Oct 2001 18:36:18 GMT

Wed, 29 Aug 2001 12:18:58 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author tortillaboy - I guess there is good reason that there are currently no epinions that do not recommend this cell phone. This little guy has more features than an AMC movie theater, and it's cute too. Before I describe each of the features, I want to give the three...
