Title: Good reference for the newbie. Review: Mr. Duane has done a good job discussing different pool tables and their care. This is not a price guide but it will help you determine what a pool table is worth to you. It will help you determine whether that table on craigslist is a steal or a ripoff or whether it is even worth paying someone to move it. I recently acquired a vintage table at an estate auction and according to the book I feel like overall I didn't do too bad. The only problem was that the book arrived after the auction. If I had the book I probably would have bid slightly differently. I recommend it to anyone who is serious about acquiring a new or used pool table.

Title: 2011 "Best Picture" Nominee???? Another "emperor's new clothes". Review: Ok, to start: (1) knew nothing about this film when I rented it other than it nominated as best picture of 2011 and (2) did not and could not make it all the way through this film. With that said, no idea why anyone would think this film is anything other than a total waste of time. "Artsy" comes to mind. Over-reaching, comes to mind. I do appreciate when one tries to encapsulate some aspect of living such that it is conveyed to others, actually conveyed, much as real art tries to do, but this picture is a total failure. I can not believe that the first 35-45 minutes was this terrible mismash of special effects about our planet forming and early life. Duh, been done so many times and ever so much better than this movie tries to do. Enough. Not recommended at all. Does this product review convey a negative or positive sentiment?

Title: Dull Review: Look, I'm a fanatic for both history and the occult, when I read about this book I thought it would be a masterpiece. Instead it is a big snooze!The novel's characters are boring. The way the author teases the reader by having Dad constantly stopping the telling of the story was irritating. Does this product review convey a negative or positive sentiment?
