This Book Should Be In Everyone's Personal Library.......2006-09-01

This book is definitely a keeper! There are many inspirational stories as well as inspirational references that can be referred to again and again.

Anyone who reads this book will be glad they did, as it is full of information that is too good not to share!!

Excellent review. Title says it all.......2006-07-30

I read a book Thursday called, "Success is not a spectator sport How to Take Action and Achieve More" by Charles M. Marcus. I love the title. I am a big believer in taking action. Success only happens with action and involvement.

This book is a tremendously fast read and touches on most topics from the most successful books and speakers that I have read and heard. I would call it a motivational refresher course. The problem with that is it can be somewhat shallow in places; however, because the basic concepts are inherently challenging, it does act as a good review.

One thing that I like about the book is it is chocked full of good quotes like:

"Only those who dare to fail greatly can achieve greatly." Robert Kennedy

"Remember the smallest actions are better than the noblest of intentions."

"Failure is another opportunity to begin again more intelligently." Henry Ford

The book talks about four principles of success: courage; responsibilities; commitment; attitude is everything.

The book has a chapter on setting goals, something we all know we should do. It does have some practical suggestions with goal setting which probably in itself makes the book worth reading.

It also talks about the five key values of successful people: respect; courtesy; humility; and excellence.

Because the book is such a quick read (even if you spend the time to do the exercises), I would highly recommend it for anyone who wants to be on a success track.

Encyclopedic knowledge of success stories.......2005-12-20

I first came in contact with Charles Marcus at a three day weekend self-improvement/motivation seminar extravaganza. I went to many workshops that weekend and of course, all the people had a book to sell. I was only moved to buy books from four of the speakers I heard, one of which was Success Is Not a Spectator Sport. Of the four books I bought and read, Marcus' was the only one that I still refer to on a regular basis some months after the convention. I feel that Marcus' strong point in both his book and his live appearance was his encyclopedic knowledge of success stories; he presents them in a way that make them stick in my mind and drive me to take the right path towards professional success.

First impressions from a fellow Englishman.......2005-11-17

Being from Manchester, England and having lived in New York City for 15 years, I was shocked to hear a native Mancunian accent when I heard Charles Marcus being interviewed on a popular New York talk radio show. I had never purchased a motivational book previously, but thought that I'd buy it on account of our common Manchester roots. I was captivated after only 25 pages and thought I would finish the book over the weekend, but I quickly recalibrated my strategy and only read one chapter per day so that I could absorb everything better and put Marcus' plan into action. There is so much great stuff in the book that I was afraid that it would be "overload" if I read it cover-to-cover, which I easily could have done. I hope Marcus has one of his seminars in the New York City area soon because I would like to go; I would go to his seminar even if he did not have a Mancunian accent. Manchester rules!

get out of the bleachers and into the game.......2005-01-02

Ask most professional speakers, and they would like nothing better than to publish a book in order to enhance their "credibility". In their haste to get published, many forget that there is more to writing a book than just throwing together a few quotes, some generic goal-setting techniques and a few words of encouragement.

I should have known that author Charles Marcus would not fall into that trap. This is a well-written, well-organized book, with a great collection of personal stories that illustrate the author's own years of learning, applying and sharing timeless success principles.

The principles aren't new, but the combination of personal stories, illustrations from other famous people's lives, exercises and quotes shed new light on basic truths. Most importantly, Marcus remembers the big picture. True success covers all aspects of life, not just business.

Are you ready to get in the game? Let this be your guidebook out of the bleachers and onto the playing field of life.

Larry Hehn, author of Get the Prize: Nine Keys for a Life of Victory

Book Description

A fully revised and expanded edition of the hugely successful book The Malt Whisky File, sales of which are now over 150,000. Organized alphabetically, it is the most comprehensive and user-friendly guide both to the famous and the little-known distilleries of Scotland, Ireland, New Zealand, and Japan, and to their malt whiskies. With over five hundred tasting notes, this is the indispensable reference work for malt whisky lovers around the world and the perfect accompaniment to a wee dram or two.

Customer Reviews:

The Greatest Book on Scotch Whisky Ever Written.......2006-12-23

The customer reviews of this book thus far prove one should not believe everything they read. This book is, without question, the best book available on Scotch whisky. The chief reasons for this assessment are:

1. The authors of the Malt Whisky File do not give an overall rating as if each brand of whisky is in competition with all others. The authors do not presume to have a monopoly on taste and do not try to tell the reader what to think.

2. The tasting notes have a number rating for Sweetness, Peatiness and Availability. This is followed by brief but descriptive notes on Colour, Nose, Flavour and Finish. The two whisky tasting groups I have been involved with over the years find the Malt Whisky File notes to be uncanny in their accuracy, down to the minutiae of the heather, spice and wood in the pallet.

3. The Whisky is listed alphabetically, so one does not have to rummage for Islays vs. Highland vs. Campbelltown.

The Wallace Milroy book is a keeper and great fun to read. The Michael Jackson book has valuable information. If you are the kind of person who needs an "expert" to think for you and tell you which scotch is better than another, get Jackson's book. But other than cross reference material neither do the job of The Malt Whisky File.

Milroy comes up with memorial lines, like comparing Laphroig's taste to "licking castle walls". Jackson includes a vast number of special bottlings and interesting tidbits about the distilleries. However, both Milroy and Jackson are paid consultants who happen to give high ratings to the same brands who employed them. Their sweeping judgments are but two men's opinions and nothing more.

Jackson is particularly bad in saying Brand X is superior to Brands Y or Z. He clearly favors tame, Speyside varieties over robust island spirits. For anyone to assume such lofty know-it-all posturing while pronouncing arbitrary and suspiciously bias ratings is absurd. Such people do disservice to many great malts and to their readers.

If you only buy one book on Malt Whisky, make it this one.

Good basic book on whisky, not a great book on whisky.......2004-05-29

Bought this book at the Whisky Castle in Dufftown while on vacation instead of Jackson's book. Lamond has a down and dirty style that gets right to the point on nosing, taste and aftertaste that appeals to me. His notes in these areas are exactly what I was looking for, but as another reviewer has noted, I found several whiskies left out, and this bothered me a little. Glen Morangie's unfiltered cask strength was omitted (my favorite by far!), several of the Balvenie and Glenfiddich wood caskings were left out, as were numerous vints of several other stellar malts that I've tried in the past. That aside, his inclusion of distilleries that have been shut down and the malts that are still radomly available is commendable (Pittyviach, Glen Garioch, etc.). I do enjoy this book and regularly refer to it when trying new malts.

I'd recommend this book to anyone that is looking for a book on single malts that covers the things for which you seek when you're buying, as mentioned above. No flowery language about the locations and simple history about each distillery. Just basic information that suits the needs. It's worth buying.

Malt whisky file.......2002-03-19

This is a very informative book, covering both the history and making of Scotch as well as the many brands. Each distillery is given a brief history and overview which helps the reader understand the many brands better. Within the text of each distillery are the many varieties that have been produced over the many years, which ultimately means the Scotch connoisseur will likely never run out of opportunities to sample something new.

The rating system for sweetness and peatiness is a bit confusing, especially since the author specifically attempts to stay away from subjective numbers. The availability rating is somewhat less misleading, though the reader must keep in mind this catagory is limited to the United Kingdom. Americans will have an even more difficult time in finding many of these brands.

Aside from question on the ratings, there seem to be few brands of Scotch (or Irish) single malts that are not covered. This book is a handy guide any fan of Scotch should want to consider.

Not up to date.......2001-12-02

I wouldn't exactly call this up to date over the 2nd
edition. It's a decent book, but if you have the 2nd
edition already, I'd recommend skipping this one.
If you want only one guide, buy Michael Jackson's
awesome guide. There are tons of omissions in this edition.
No Highland Park 18yr, none of the Bowmore editions
(Darkest, Dawn, Dusk, Claret, etc), no Dalmore Cigar Malt,
no Glenfarclas 17 yr, Glenfiddich 30, Laphroaig 30,
and many more. The independent listings are hit and
miss to say the least, but he seems to keep other listings
in the book for expressions that are long gone and no
longer available. I guess the authors needed the money.
