Title: Advanced Windows (Advanced Windows) Publisher: Microsoft Press Authors: Jeffrey Richter Rating: 5/5 Jeffrey Richter's Advanced Windows is easily the most frequently used (and borrowed) book on my computer bookshelf. It is well written, complete, and contains descriptions and examples of non-GUI Windows programming you simply can not find anywhere else. I plan on buying both of his new books as well. All of his books are utterly without hype - it's like reading just the meaty parts of MSJ/MSDN magazine. Long Live Jeff Richter!

Title: eBay Secrets : How to create Internet auction listings that make 30% more money while selling every item you list Publisher: Authors: Steven Ellis White, Bryon Krug Rating: 5/5 I'm an eBay novice; when I bought this book I had never purchased or sold anything on eBay. I wasn't interested in selling on eBay as a full-time career. I was looking for an additional outlet for the books my husband and I write and publish as well as a fun way to sell some of the many artifacts we keep managing to accumulate. (And yes, as a way to buy more goodies too!) After reading White's primer, I immediately felt I had a good grounding in the finer points of accomplishing both goals--not as a perennial "jellybean" (White's term for eBay bean-brains)--but as a savvy merchant and a smart consumer. The book amply covers all the techniques described in the product blurb and does so in a conversational style that makes for a quick yet easy-to-retain read. White shares tips on starting an eBay biz with little (or no) capital and on how to expand your business once it's off the ground. But this is no get-rich-quick schematic. The author stresses that the successful eBay merchant must do his or her homework and must put in physical and mental effort to give buyers their money's worth. And isn't helping others while you help you and yours what reaps the real moral--and financial--rewards in every business?
