I ordered two of these at the same time, one came via the post office, the other by UPS. Both packages were damaged. the paper is not in the original sealed and protected container, but in a flimsy box. The corners of both stacks of paper were folded in, so they cannot be used for presentations. In fact the folds on the postal service paper were severe enough that my HP printer would not accept the paper. Even if the paper had come in new condition, it would not have been sufficient for the quality presentations I intend.

I dont understand how this is considered "presentation" paper. I wouldnt present anything professionally with this paper. Its like regular printer paper but just thicker. Youre better of with something else.Also, Im upset with Amazon because the paper was estimated to arrive on the 18th, but I just got it today. SLOW shipping!!!! The packaging was weak and ruined some of the paper.

Kaleidoscope made some fine albums, but didn't last very long and were never overly popular. This collection is a good way to get most of their essential tracks without breaking the bank on rare or import albums. It collects the bulk of fine tracks from "Side Trips" and "Beacon From Mars" and some bits and pieces from their other albums. Many of the songs here are highly memorable and will stay with you forever (at least the music if not the lyrics). Raga, jugband folk and psychedelia and some of what you'll find integrated into these songs, the fact is nothing was considered taboo when the sounds of these songs were created. If you like pschedelia, be sure to grab this as it's well worth your time.

When I first bought this book, years ago, I thought it would last me part of the way across the Pacific (12+ hours). I couldn't finish the Introduction, and before I gave up, had disgraced myself several times by laughing out loud, wiping tears from my eyes, doubling-up, and ensuring the seat next to me became vacant. Flight attendants kept a keen eye on me all the way from Sydney to LAX. I had no better success on the return trip (12+ hours). I have progressed no further on subsequent, very determined, attempts to read this book, in all sorts of conducive "I WILL read this" situations. It is dangerous if you have a) had an operation in the past several years, b) have bladder trouble or c) try to read it when your wife is trying to sleep. Be warned. It is light years beyond hilarious.

I believe Dave Barry is trying to be funny, but I find this book completely insulting ... to guys, to women, and to his readers. I wish I had known the kind of language he uses and how crass he can be. Definitely would not have bought this one.

I received the book in excellent timing and it was in the condition they said it would be. I would definately order something from them again. Very reliable.
