Fantastic primer and reference........2006-12-20

I still pull this book off the shelf every year to refresh. In fact, I'm on my second copy after wearing out the first. I highly recommend this book for high school and college graduates starting out. Most of us don't start with a lot of money to invest in clothing. I started out similarly to the book's suggestions. I've advanced considerably since then and this has been a great guide in growing my wardrobe without waste. That isn't to say I haven't purchased some items that I fell in love with along the way. This book covers that too.

As a traveling professional I have always found the travel advice for packing only what is necessary a wonderful section. The photographs are wonderfully informative. There are a few outdated memes such as in the regional dress section - a knowledge worker wearing boots with anything other than jeans in Denver is tacky.

Suits are important. I'm one of many that can attribute a successful interview partially to the suit. A team of very tired interviewers would only show up to my interview after they were sure I wasn't dressed in "typical Colorado attire." I wore a suit, my shoes were shined, and I looked professional. Good looking clothes matter.

Buy this if you're young!.......2006-11-27

At first glance this seems simple and basic, and because of that you may pass it by. Yet that is exactly why this book (and the others in it's series) are worth the buy.

You'll learn how to blend in, how to fit in, how to step in -- and step up (the corporate ladder). If you're a young man who wears clunky black shoes with a suit and thinks that's OK because they are "in style" - read this book. If you're a man that thinks suit's aren't necessary because you're job allows "techie casual" -- read this book!!

It will help you acheive the next level in your career...

The best book on the market for how to dress in 2006........2006-08-31

The book is probably the best book on the market for how to dress in 2006. I purchased this book to compete with the younger business crowd in interviews. I find it exceptional on style representation of how men dress. It does not emphasis the uniform of an office. It lacks empahsis on the male tendancey to expect everyone to show involvement by dressing alike. I call this the socially conditioning of men to follow a uniform dress code. I suspect this comes from all the socializing in sports acitivites. It is both a signals of member of your team and the oposing team. How you dress in work especially corporate America has major implications on how you are viewed in your work place. I suggest adjusting your style to each circumstance: work, play, social life to give the best impression

Gives A Good Framework.......2006-08-24

I liked this book because it gave a good strategy for identifying what elements you already own, prior to buying new clothes.

Very basic advice.......2005-10-06

If you know nothing about dressing yourself, this book is targeted at you. There's some good advice here, but some questionable advice as well, and some of the advice is already dated -- the monochrome tie/shirt combo went out with Regis' millionaire show. A much better book is Flusser's "Dressing the Man." And if you want a really good book on elegant living, try Bernhard Roetzel's "Gentleman's Guide to Grooming and Style."

Good book but people should put their thinking caps on...........2007-02-09

His book is very informative but a fair amount of work in involved. Many people don't understand all that is involved in getting grants. So for many of them the books are not as useful as they should be. People need positive and realistic approaches with LOTS of elbow grease. With this mindframe they can profit for his book. Two good books are "Grants for Dummies" and "Government Funding and You". Both books are realistic and they can help anyone get registered and start seeking grants SERIOUSLY.

Only a few programs will apply to your state and city..........2005-05-08

I bought an earlier edition of his books called "government giveaways" and learned the following the hard way.

Since he published new ones, I kept my mind open to what was new and I found out that I have this book in my local book store. I cracked it open and skimmed it.

Lesko makes it seem from the advertising that all of these grant and loan programs are for everyone-this isn't the case. When you eliminate 49 other states and every city other city that you don't live in in your state, the book becomes very, very short. There are federal programs that do apply, but there isn't a lot.

Go to your local book store to take a peek at it. You will learn that only a few things will likely apply to what you're interested in, and it isn't likely going to be worth the price of the book.

I would however recommend to Lesko that he gets team of researcher's and writers covering programs in MORE detail for each state. Having a more local edition of his books with all the existing state government and city govenment programs would be much more informative.
For example since I am interested in business financing, there is something called an SBA 7a loan. It would seem from the book that anyone can get it. But from the book you wouldn't know the following requirements:
1) You must be able to guarantee a portion of the loan yourself, with your real estate or other businesses. If you can't do this you don't qualify.
2) If you are an existing business, Your tax returns for the previous few years must have proof of cashflow. They won't guarantee a loan for business that doesn't show profit. SO DON't CHEAT ON YOUR TAXES!
3) Loan expenditures are only for tangible expenses, you can't pay rent, or people with the loan money.
4) If you are a new business, you must have Significant experience in the industry you plan on doing your business in.

Now why couldn't he just say that in his books!?!? It's because the book is written with a shotgun approach and isn't too detailed.

Good luck and happy free money hunting!

Book Description

When two young men, Charles W. Hart and Charles H. Parr, began a stationary gasoline engine company in the late 1800s, they probably never imagined how the industry would grow and evolve throughout the next century. Now is your opportunity to follow their company, Hart-Parr, from the beginning with the building of the first gasoline traction engine, the No. 1, through the merger which created the Oliver Farm Equipment Company in 1929, and then the purchase of the company by White Motor Company in 1960. All of the related farm tractors are featured in this book from Hart-Parr to Oliver to White. This is the definitive guide to the incredible tractors that helped define farming during the 20th century. Author Larry Gay has taken each model and researched it providing all the pertinent information and photographs, even Nebraska Tractor Test results. For the first time, Oliver, Hart-Parr, and White enthusiasts can see for themselves the evolution of this incredible tractor line. With the turn of a page, watch the models change and improve. Behind-the-scenes stories give you the entire picture. The appendix features Nebraska Tractor Test results and serial numbers. This book, with over 200 black-and-white photographs, will provide hours of enjoyment and will become a treasured reference tool.

Impressions of Wendel's reprinted Oliver book.......2007-01-12

I ordered this book from Amazon, unseen. It had a good reputation as an early compresensive work on Oliver and Hart-Parr tractors, well illustrated. Unfortunately, this is a very poorly executed reprint. Had I seen it first, I would never have spent the money. All photographs and illustrations are dark and muddy. Evidently, "kp books," chose to cut costs on production. I also understand that while Wendel did a good job for his time and in the original printing, new information has since come to light; so I don't think this book is the thorough coverage it could once claim. This is basically a, "$9.95 clearance item."

The history of Oliver/Hart-Parr from beginning to end!.......2000-04-05

If you want to find out more about the beginning of the Oliver & Hart Parr tractors, I recommend this book. It gives detailed information on all the tractors released and some that weren't released. This is a must have for Oliver/Hart-Parr tractor collectors. I don't have much else to say but that this book is worth the money!

No Cletrac info........2000-07-27

I bought this book because I thought it would contain information about Cletrac tractors. From the title you would think so. I was very disapointed to find that there were only two pictures of one Cletrac tractor (Actually an Oliver as the tractor pictured was made after the oliver take over) There was only one page of text (of the most superficial sort). From my point of view this purchess was a total loss. The book title is not at all representative of its content, at least as far as Cletrac tractors are conscerned
