This is a typical Schiffer-published book: beautiful large clear photos, quality paper and printing. The information provided for each company is informative and complete. This is a must-have for collectors, appraisers and historians of fine art (all me). This is one of a series of tile books, each from a different geographic area and I'll be buying the rest of them when I've saved my pennies. They are pricey but well worth the cost.

I needed something to record info off a radio broadcast, but this little item is way to complicated. Even my very techie son thought the lay out of the buttons was almost impossible to use. Sent it back and got a nice Sansa clip...works perfect for what I needed!

I have been in a wheelchair for 10 years due to a multiple injury accident.I would re-name this video "How to waste 13 minutes and $20"My advice for what its worth:Get a copy of Carl Douglas`s single-Kung fu fighting,have a beer or whatever else you need to loosen up,dance and enjoy yourself!From your UK friendps,i had to give it one star as amazon wouldn`t let me rate it otherwise.(really deserves a minus!)

This is the standard college text for advanced study of modern Indonesian history. It is an excellent introduction, sufficiently detailed for the appropriate events, such as the 1945-49 revolution, the days of civil war turmoil in the 50s, and the 30 September Movement ("G30S" for Indonesians) in 1965. It is impeccably researched and annotated, which makes this an excellent resource for further research into Indonesian and Southeast Asian history. The text itself is sometimes slow, but I am always struck by the density of facts, figures, quotations, and citations. An excellent resource.

This machine has many good points. It is well constructed, it is sturdy and essentially unmovable. The tables are easy to align with the sanding surfaces. It has loads of power and can remove stock amazingly fast. However, to rate the dust collection system as poor gives it a compliment. It is abyssmal. You need to be outdoors or wear a dust mask when using the disc sander for any heavy sanding. The only place on the disc that collects any dust is when you sand on the outer 1 inch of the disc. Any further in than that and most of the dust come out the other side of the disc. A little detective work showed that there is only a small vacuum inlet (about 1 1/2 by 3 inches). Any dust that escapes this vent is blown back into the shop. The belt sander is only marginally better.

I bought one of these sanders in 2004 or 2005 through a dealer in Syracuse, New York when they first came out and have found over the years that this machine is better than I expected. It has been trouble free the day I bought it. It is well constructed, accurate and the fit and finish is very good. Adjustments are easily accessable. Its greatest asset is the large tables. They are easy to adjust and their size makes them easier to design and attach jigs and fixtures to. The machine is very heavy and stable in operation, no vibration. I have had no problems with belt tracking or tension. I find a slight disadvantage in the verticle height of the belt platen, but you can't have everything. The dust pickup is not very good at the disc side of the machine, but I have never seen one that was since the old Powermatic sanders from the 1980's. If I were to buy belt/disc sander today, it would probably be this make and model.
