› Find signed collectible books: 'The Complete Idiot's Guide to Buying and Selling Collectibles'Book summary:From high art to kitsch to kitchen appliances, the world of collecting is red-hot. But for the unwary collector, it can be a world fraught with peril. Is that a true first edition or a book-club copy? Was that art-glass lampshade really made by Tiffany, or is it a near-worthless imitation? Before you get out your checkbook, pick up a copy of Laurie Rozakis's The Complete Idiot's Guide to Buying and Selling Antiques. Rozakis has been an avid collector for 20 years and knows the market--and its pitfalls--inside and out.
Rozakis covers some of the hottest collecting markets, from costume jewelry to Pokémon cards. Each chapter has a brief overview of the market, the hottest sectors (at the time the book was published--rather risky in the fickle collecting world), price ranges, what to look for, and what to avoid. In addition, each chapter is liberally sprinkled with tips, hints, and Web sites for further research. Collecting glass? Look for condition, brilliance, and rarity. Don't worry if there is no manufacturer's signature on that Waterford decanter--only 10 percent of cut glass made between 1880 and 1900 was signed. Thinking of buying a first-edition Salinger? If the dust jacket is not in mint condition, you might want to pass.
Rozakis also provides information on cataloging, appraising, and insuring your collection--worksheets included--and suggests some future collectibles that you may have lying around the house right now (you might want to hang on to those Phantom Menace action figures for a while). --Laszlo Simonyi [via]

The Complete Idiot's Guide to Dealing With In-Lawsby Laurie RozakisISBN 0028621077 (0-02-862107-7)

› Find signed collectible books: 'The Complete Idiot's Guide to Dealing With In-Laws'Book summary:Have in-law issues? Want to learn to cope, yet laugh at the same time? The most surprising thing about the hysterically funny Complete Idiot's Guide to Dealing with In-Laws is that it has useful and thoughtful advice in it, too. Laurie Rozakis has taken a potentially dubious subject and information enough to fill a small pocket book and pumped it up with laugh-out-loud anecdotes and extended jokes that navigate readers safely through the real dilemmas of life with in-laws.
Rozakis, a professional writer with many self-help and reference books under her belt, gives good advice on making a positive impression ("Guys, put on clean underwear. I know this is tough because some of you are very attached to your undies, but work with me here."), dealing with family holidays, understanding family power structures, and coping with parenting pressure ("So when are you going to start a family?") and disapproval about your parenting style. Cute drawings, snippets of interesting trivia, and helpful hints round out this tome that is not just for the complete idiot. [via]

The Complete Idiot's Guide to Grammar and Styleby Laurie RozakisISBN 0028619560 (0-02-861956-0)
Softcover, Alpha Books

› Find signed collectible books: 'The Complete Idiot's Guide to Grammar and Style'Book summary:The jokey, conversational style of the Complete Idiot's Guide series is better suited to some of its many subjects than to others, but for the Guide to Grammar and Style, it works. This book might not be appropriate for professional proofreaders in search of the definitive use of the en dash, but it is a solid, amusing volume for those who daydreamed through grade school and would like to brush up on the fundamentals. Puns, silly humor, and hyperbole abound, but so do the entertaining quotations from beloved masters of the English language that author Laurie E. Rozakis has managed to dig up. For every "The rules of standard written English are ... more frightening than a sail on the Titanic," there is an amusing tidbit such as this one, courtesy of Calvin Trillin: "Whom is a word invented to make everyone sound like a butler. Nobody who is not a butler has ever said it out loud without feeling just a little bit weird." For every "Like my thighs, the distinction between that and which is becoming less firm," we have someone such as James Thurber to show us how to break a rule in style. "When I split an infinitive," Thurber is said to have admonished a meddlesome editor, "it is going to damn well stay split!" The text is highly energetic, and Rozakis cuts to the chase. For instance, she summarizes one chapter this way: "Don't be a sexist pig; ditch doublespeak; end euphemisms; can clichés." And she offers us these wise words, from Thomas Jefferson: "The most valuable of all talents is that of never using two words when one will do." [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'The Complete Idiot's Guide to Making Money in Freelancing'Book summary:According to The Complete Idiot's Guide to Making Money in Freelancing, some 20 million Americans currently earn their living primarily as freelancers, and another 10 million are scheduled to join them in the next six years. Lucky them: Despite her propensity for groan-inducing comparisons and analogies (for example, "you can find more hotel workers who like Leona Helmsley than freelancers who like spec jobs"), author Laurie E. Rozakis has compiled a fine and useful primer for novice freelancers. The opening chapters assist in assessing one's readiness for the freelance life--you get to go to work "in your jammies," but there are no gabfests around the water cooler, and no benefits. The ensuing chapters offer good, solid advice on such topics as starting your business, setting freelance rates, keeping financial records, preparing for retirement, and making the least of your taxes. --Jane Steinberg [via]
