5 out of 5 stars Golden Classics on 256 pages! A Zeppelin must-have!.......2006-07-26

I only wish this book contained ALL the songs! The tablature is outstanding and truly what any major Zeppelin guitarist fan is looking for. The solos are included, and unlike "Led Zeppelin Complete," this is a reliable, well-put-together arrangement of GREAT Zeppelin songs. The only bad thing about it is that the fabulous maker of the book did not transcribe MORE songs! At $15.72, this is the best deal for classic Zeppelin tabs, BELIEVE ME! "Dazed and Confused" is soooo intricate, giving me MORE than I asked for! And when I flipped to "What is and What Should Never Be," I realized just how much sense this book really makes. Definitely for experienced guitar players with ears "experienced" in the sound of LED ZEPPELIN. This book will help you to better understand the music behind the madness of this quartet. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED--grab this gold before it is gone!!

5 out of 5 stars Zeppelin.......2006-04-15

All I have say is "Wow" this book is incredible. I've been playing guitar for about 3 months now, and I'm a HUGE Zeppelin fan so I decided to get this book. I think I might have bit off a little more than I can chew. I can play the riffs from a few songs, but that's about it. But, as they always say "Practice makes perfect." If you're experienced with a guitar, I would HIGHLY recommend this.

5 out of 5 stars Truly authentic tab.......2005-11-04

This book is for real, unlike the "Complete?" book which is tabbed incorrectly. I've been playing now for 17 years and this book will give you all the intricacies of the songs chosen. With one technical exception: and this is for true authentic players, the tab to "bron-y'aur stomp" is presented as a capoed song in open F. On the Led Zep DVD however, Page plays this uncapoed in open G.

All others seem to be right on. Well worth the money.

I highly recommend this book. And it has the complete solos too.

4 out of 5 stars A Good Collection.......2005-09-02

These tabs are terrific!! I just can't believe that "Over the Hills and Far Away" was not one of the offerings. Worth the money despite this flaw.

4 out of 5 stars For Advanced Guitar Players.......2004-11-17

The book is beutifully designed with the most intricate notes possible. When looking at it, you feel as if an entire orchestra can be created from it. They did a brilliant job with making it as close to the real sound of Zeppelin as possible. However, it is certainly not for begginers. if you are a great musician already and want to play Led Zeppelin, this is the book for you.

    5 out of 5 stars Great book, great music........2004-12-29

    Now that the posts made it aware that it was for bass, which it doesn't specify, I'll give it a full five.

    I'm a relatively new bass player and it's done great for me. Dazed and Confused and The Lemon song have some of the two coolest bass lines ever, and what you hear from sources other than the official book will always be atleast partially inacurate.

    If you're a BASS player and you like Zeppelin, buy it. It's that simple; how could it be any other way?

    5 out of 5 stars Bass book.......2003-01-13

    since it isn't clear on the site, I just wanted to let everyone know this is a bass book, not guitar. I tried to order it around christmas 2002 and they couldn't get it from the supplier so i don't know if its any good or not, i would assume so since both the albums are great. The site forced me to give it stars so i just picked 5.

    1 out of 5 stars This Is A Tab Book For Bass !.......2001-08-02

    I purchased this item thinking it was a tab book for guitar. When I got it, I found out that it was for bass guitar. I'm mad because Amazon didn't state that it was a tab book for bass plus paid $30 for it. I'm not buying anything from Amazon again.

                      5 out of 5 stars Naval Wargaming before published games!.......2006-02-05

                      Paul Hague's book is a great guide to do-it-yourself wargaming. If you want play a naval battle without all the extras and buying a pre-published version, Paul can show you the way.

                      I use it for Dungeons and Dragons when I need a naval battle and just adjust the rules to fit the game and events. It is a great resource and gives you just the right level of detail to play a battle without much more than some ship models (the ones on the cover are painted balsa, cardboard, toothpicks!) and a few miniatures.

                      This is the classic hands-on gaming book.

                      4 out of 5 stars I'm Ready to Play.......2002-09-04

                      A delightful book with suitable rules for learned, well read gentlemen to employ in the purpose of pushing miniature ships from all eras around the living room floor and invoking simulated combat while enjoying the company of other similarly minded people and quaffing a few beers. Or is that quaffing a few beers and pushing miniature ships around the living room. Doesn't matter. Sign me up.

                      Chap 1. About Naval Wargaming. Not comprehensive, but adequate to set up the rest of the book.

                      Chap 2. Equipment for Naval Wargaming. Pencil, paper, a few cardboard cutouts, some dice, and miniature ships. It can very inexpensive. Taking your wife out to dinner as compensation for disarraying the parlor will cost you more.

                      Chap 4. Ancient galley warfare: sails, oars, archers, marines, crew energy, ramming, repair, oar raking, boarding, supporting sinking ships, bolt throwing engines, stone throwing engines and crew moral.

                      Chap 5. The Battle of Thestos c 200 BC.

                      Chap 6. Napoleonic Naval Warfare: cannon, broadsides, boarding, striking, collisions, wind direction changes, wind strength changes, movement rules relative to wind, heaving-to and wearing.

                      Chap 7. The Battle of Ushant, 1795

                      Chap 8. The Ironclad Period, 1865-1885: Great armored mastodons belching fire and smoke and destructive projectiles and occasionally ramming each other.

                      Chap 9. The Battle of Hellespont, 1881

                      Chap 10. The Dreadnought Period: the scale increases to 1:18000 and we get torpedoes, turrets, concentration of fire, submarines, magazine explosions, directors, conning towers, propeller shafts, smoke, and mine fields.

                      Chap 11. The Battle of Texel, 1916

                      Chap 12. Other Periods: The middle ages, the renaissance, the armada, the Dutch wars and the 18th century, the Russo-Japanese war, the Second World War, the American civil war,

                      Book Description

                      Virtually every computing system today is part of a distributed system. Programmers, developers, and engineers need to understand the underlying principles and paradigms as well as the real-world application of those principles. Now, internationally renowned expert Andrew S. Tanenbaum – with colleague Martin van Steen – presents a complete introduction that identifies the seven key principles of distributed systems, with extensive examples of each. Adds a completely new chapter on architecture to address the principle of organizing distributed systems. Provides extensive new material on peer-to-peer systems, grid computing and Web services, virtualization, and application-level multicasting. Updates material on clock synchronization, data-centric consistency, object-based distributed systems, and file systems and Web systems coordination. For all developers, software engineers, and architects who need an in-depth understanding of distributed systems.

                      4 out of 5 stars Decent book for students.......2007-06-18

                      If you're expecting a "how-to" manual on writing distributed systems, this isn't it. It has an excellent coverage of some fundamental principles - I used it as a text book for a distributed systems course and found it very useful. The course and this book changed the way I think about system architecture. Some readers may find the material dry - it is, but in the end it's rewarding. It helps to have an exam at the end to drive you through this book. To the reviewer who said that it doesn't mention what's wrong with distributed objects or NFS, you'll find that it gives you the tools to see past the glossy hype of whatever the latest fad is (distributed objects, web services, or whatever else) and ask serious questions about how it handles failure, security, replication, etc.

                      Having said that, there were glaring grammatical errors, especially towards the end (the chapter on Distributed File Systems). I am surprised that it got past the editors. Also I had to re read some sections several times before I understood them (like the part about reliable group communication). It's still better than going through individual papers, but a more readable revised edition wouldn't hurt.

                      4 out of 5 stars Good theorical book.......2007-03-17

                      If you buy this book expecting to learn how to do some web, rmi, corba or any other kind of distributed systems development then don't buy this one. This book is now a good source of theorical material, I'm currently using this book because of the theorical material but often I have to complement the information with other books like "Distributed Systems: Concepts and Design (4th Edition)" (by: Coulouris) which has more indepth RMI practices and is also a good information source.

                      1 out of 5 stars Not worth to read.......2006-12-25

                      I hope to choose 0 star if I could. I agree with one of the reviewer said the book loses it's focus. For example, the way it introduces Java RMI is very disappointed: it neither clearly described the idea very well nor the implementation. Therefore you end up learning nothing. You would say this is a academic textbook but in contrast, the Silberschatz's classic "Operating System concept" does the RMI introduction pretty well.

                      2 out of 5 stars Horribly written.......2006-12-09

                      I enjoyed and learned a lot from both of Tanenbaum's OS textbooks, but this is really awful. On the one hand, the descriptions of things such as RPC are so abstract that I can't see how anyone could be expected to understand what a real RPC system would look like; on the other hand, there's not nearly enough effort made to give a picture of how the systems discussed fit into the broader context of computer science, or relate to each other.

                      Moreover, the book is badly written: the writing is alternately overly colloquial and overly academic in style, as if it were written by someone very smart, but for whom English is a second language.

                      1 out of 5 stars too many junks in the book.......2006-09-27

                      I have to say it's a book full of junks and gaudy texts. The author wants to cover all the topics in this field but he ignores the readability as a scientific reader. Most of the time you may find all the texts are lack of focus.
