Review title: Good for more practice but some irritating flaws Product review: I've used many Schaum's books before, and most of them were very good because they were well written and explained concepts and techniques clearly. "Beginning Linear Algebra," however, was not as good as most of the other books in the series. It suffers from long chapter outlines, poor explanations, and many errors both in the explanations and answers to problems. Nevertheless, this book does provide a lot of good practice problems with answers. So I would recommend this book as a supplement to a regular text and not as a primary source of information about linear algebra.

Review title: good cutter until the screws fell out Product review: I was very happy with this cigar cutter at first -- smooth action,nice grip, it just felt solid and stable.Then after about 3 weeks of ordinary use, cutting a handful ofcigars per week, 2 of the tiny screws in the handle fell out.It's a real pity because it's a nice cutter if it holds together.To make matters worse, Amazon seller "eLighters" doesn't carryreplacement screws; they offered to send a replacement cutterat a reduced shipping/handling cost ($5), but I don't believein paying to replace a defective product. I may also try tocontact the manufacturer (Visol?) directly.Hopefully this cutter is a 1-time problem; I also have a VCUT-14and it provides the same smooth action and clean cut -- as longas the screws hold together.

Review title: Shadow Chambliss Product review: We have had two of these and live in a rural city and cannot locate replacement batteries... B&D should list the battery and price with the tool...If you read the fine print and let the machine run completely down and then recharge, you can sometimes improve the battery time/life
