Lots of fun
This is a nice book. Some of the games are simple enough for our seven year old to play with us. The instructions are clear and readable and so far we are enjoying the book quite a bit.

Great games. An instruction book that is also fun to read.
I bought this book after listening to a segment on NPR's Weekend Edition with Scott Simon. After listening to Jim Gladstone and Scott Simon play some of the verbal games over the air, I was interested.I wrote the name of the book, purchased from Amazon.com, and have now played nearly all of the games in the past 3 or 4 years.

I have three children under the age of 4 and they are intrigued by the games, but they are much much too young for any of the games listed, but someday... someday.

I'm also the coordinator for the gifted and talented education program at my elementary school.These games are EXCELLENT for gifted students. Some of their parents report that my GATE students would rather play Sprouts or some of the games from this book than watch tv or play video games. Victory!

I look forward to nights, after my three girls are asleep for the night, when my wife and I can sit in the living room and playing "free" versions of Boggle or Scatergories.I love this book.

Buy it.For $10, you can't go wrong.(And it also makes a pretty good Christmas gift.)

No boredom--and your brain will thank you!
In this day and age of constant visual and aural stimulation--marketing and advertising messages, music of all sorts, cellphones, PDAs, you name it--it's SO refreshing to see that not everyone has given up hope. Jim Gladstone is obviously someone who values the grey cells, and puts his talent as a writer where his quirky interests are. Not only is this book FULL of original and updated games that often require nothing more than what many of us had on-hand in first grade: a pencil, some paper, a little extra time and a sense of playfulness (okay, and maybe a little competitiveness, too), it's also beautifully designed, durable and very portable. Buy this book and keep it in your backpack, briefcase--whatever you drag your stuff around in. Next time you're stuck on a plane, bus or even your own car and your sick of listening to the garbage on the radio or watching the fluff on TV, pull out Gladstone's Games to Go and give your brain a much-needed workout. For parents who've had enough of GameBoys and giant headphones that keep your kids as alienated from you in the car or on a plane as they are at home, Gladstone offers some fun ways to interact that won't cramp the style of even the most jaded teen or tween. And for the rest of us who just like a good, challenging game now and then (and hate it when dinner party conversation starts to wane), you're CRAZY not to have this book at arm's reach.

Surprisingly Smart
I decided to check out this book after reading an interview with the author at UsedWigs.com. I thought it sounded like fun for 10 bucks. Turns out that while some of the games are easy standards that I already new (Password, Ghost), the most interesting stuff here is brand new and really involving. The last board game I bought was Scattergories, which cost like $30...well, this tells you how to play that one without buying any special equipment (its obvious, but I never thought of it), so you end up getting dozens of games for less than what a single one costs when you buy the boxed version. Good deal. Smart stuff.

Outstanding Entertainment!
Thanks to this great instructional book, no games boards or electonic devices are needed to have fun with your friends. Lots of great word and entertainment-based games. Ah, simple pleasures! Great (cheap) gift for your game-loving pals, too. ... Read more

Mir Gets His Shot to Be a Sports Team Captain

"Batters up for the biggest game of my life! There I was, captain of the CLEO Sevens in the All-CLEO AstroBall Tournament. I sure hoped the rest of the team couldn't tell I didn't know the first thing about the sport.

"Good thing my e-reader could teach me how to play. But why was it telling me strikes were good? This wasn't bowling! Anyway, I couldn't let Deeter Meteor and his Fives beat us. Nyet. It'd take something special to win that game." ... Read more

Description:
We offer an explanation for why raiders do not acquire the maximum possible toehold prior to announcing a takeover bid. By endogenously modeling the target firm's value following an unsuccessful takeover we demonstrate that a raider may optimally acquire a small toehold even if the acquisition does not drive up the pre-tender target price. This occurs because although a larger toehold increases profits if the takeover succeeds it also conveys a higher level of managerial entrenchment and hence a lower firm value if the takeover fails. We derive new predictions regarding the optimal toehold and target value following a failed takeover. We also examine the impact of a rival bidder and dilution. ... Read more

How To Make THOUSANDS Of DOLLARS By WINNING At CONTESTS !

"Think you can't ever win? You need to read this report today!"

What does the average person usually dream about?

If you answered "getting rich", you're probably right!

Winning a contest could be a short cut to wealth! There is a lot of wealth in this country still to be had.
In fact, a substantial amount of money and merchandise is given away every year in this country— in sweepstakes and other contests! This is not just the luck of the draw— people try to win at these contests, so why shouldn't you? If there are people willing to give this wealth away, why not get in line for your share?
You, like others, may be skeptical of prize money and luxury items that are given away in these contests. Is that because you've never known anyone who has won? These giveaways actually do happen.

If you devote a little energy into playing all of these contests that come your way, you will create more opportunities for yourself to win— and win big. You can't win if you don't play.

Here are opportunities that show up nearly every week for you to realize that dream of being wealthy. And the work effort involved is minimal considering the potential payoff you are striving to attain.

Look at it this way. Contest sponsors are going to give this money away to someone. Why not you? The company bottom line is to advertise their product(s). They will accomplish this through their promotion. If there's something to be won in the meantime, shouldn't you try for it?

What have you got to lose?

Winning a contest can be one of the most exciting things you ever do.

Product Description
This book is an attempt to put into definite form the principles observed by the masters of the short story in the practice of their art. It is the result of a careful study of their work, of some indifferent attempts to imitate them, and of the critical examination of several thousands of short stories written by amateurs. It is designed to be of practical assistance to the novice in short story writing, from the moment the tale is dimly conceived until it is completed and ready for the editor's judgment.
