1. Trabaje en warehouse de una libreria muy famosa, y antes de que saliera ala venta yo ya le habia dado una revisada, cuando salio ala venta fueron muchos ejemplares los que se vendieron mucha la demanda. Me parese que cuando uno tiene dinero puede darse ese lujo, asi que es muy facil ir por el mundo sin preocuparse de lo monerario y adquirir experiencias de esos viajes.
   Si yo tubiera dinero haria lo mismo, y me enamoraria en francia, o espa~a, y ahora la autora del libro con todo lo que a vendido se puede ir a la india las veces que quiera y adquirir mas experiencias con todo el dinero que hizo del libro pero esta vez lo tiene por las personas que compraron el libro, y la mayoria fueron de bajos recursos, recordemos que en el mundo hay mas pobresa que gente rica.......... Yo ahorro y ahorro y no puedo ir ni a la playa.
   No creeo que sea tan bueno el libro, me parece ami, soy una gran compradora de libros, es en lo que mas gasto mi dinero, pero este no lo compre gracias a que lo hize en mi trabajo, y nada extraordinario es. Es mi opinion.



2. I read the book in Spanish, it easy for me since is my mother language. I found the book very bored and I thing the translation made was poor, very poor.
   I won't recommend to read this book in Spanish.



3. Tenia muchos deseos de leer el libro despues de que vi los previews de la pelicula, no queria gastar mucho dinero asi que ordene uno de los libros mas economicos. Tuve una gran sorpresa al recibirlo, es nuevo, esta en perfectas condiciones y la edicion es de muy buena calidad. Estoy muy conforme con mi compra y ya estoy buscando nuevos titulos para mis futuras ordenes.



4. Estos son de los libros que te hacen pensar y que cambian vidas. Ha sido divertido leerlo. Yo tambien quiero viajar por el mundo y leyendo este libro he viajado de gratis.



5. This book starts off well; it is well written, poignant, humorous, and insightful. Somewhere before the end of Italy though, Elizabeth Gilbert goes from all these lovely and positive traits to a person bent on proving that she deserves to have whatever the heck it is she wants. In fact, we should all do ourselves the favor of becoming self absorbed and selfish.
   
   And that is the journey that Gilbert suffers us on. She deserves a break today and everyday and sets out to figure out, "What does Elizabeth want." Period.
   
   And really how terrific is that, an advance for a book, this book, telling all of us how to achieve selfishness, like we need told, duh.
   
   I really enjoyed the first third of the book, but Gilbert gets to be so full of herself, her wisdom, her desires that is just got b-o-r-i-n-g.

1 comments about Michelin Guide Espagne/Portugal 2010, 38e: Hotels & Restaurants (Michelin Red Guide: Espana & Portugal).

1. We tour Spain every year, and the Red Guide is indispensable. Their standards are good, the information is accurate, and you can trust their recommendations. We tend to not overplan our trips, and the Red Guide makes it easy to find good, economical (or not!!) food and lodging anywhere in Spain.
   
   My only gripe: the Restaurant in the Guggenheim Bilbao has never been given a star, or much mention. It is definitely one-star material.

4 comments about Diarios de Motocicleta: Notas de Viaje (Film Tie-in Edition) (Che Guevara Publishing Project / Ocean Sur) (Spanish Edition).

1. This book, a diary of Che Guevara's trip to South America in 1952, shows the reader how the ideas of Che came to be. He sees the poverty, unemployment and exploitation of workers in South America.



2. Leí este libro porque la historia me parecia similar al viaje que hizo my padre en moto en 1964. ¡Pero esperaba más motocicleta! En la mayoria de este libro, Che y su compañero no andan en moto. Igual me gustó. Describe mucho de la pobreza del tiempo en Sud America, y aveces se pone muy political, pero por lo menos lo hace interesante.
   
   Mi papá, Carlos Caggiani, menciona el viaje de Che Guevara en su libro Huellas y Horizontes: 26 Países en una Motocicleta (Spanish Edition) y aveces los dos viajes, hechos años aparte, se cruzan en tema y local. Pero el viaje de Carlos fué más largo (26 países) y tuvo más acción y entretenimiento, en mi opinion.
   
   Si les gustaron el libro de Che, les van a encantar Huellas y Horizontes: 26 Países en una Motocicleta (Spanish Edition)



3. I got the book in good condition, it took a little longer than I expected to come though. I didn't realize that it was from a library and would have spine stickers. oh well



4. NO HAY NADA MAS LINDO QUE LEER ACERCA DE NUESTROS PAISES, APRENDER DE ELLOS, POR LOS OJOS DE UN JOVEN VIAJANTE COMO "CHE GUEVARA". SE LOS RECOMIENDO! LEANLO! :)

5 comments about Torres del Paine Trekking Map (English/Spanish Edition).

1. This map is enormous. Don't expect to take it with you. Kind of a waste of money, even though it's fun to look at before you go. I'm sure there is a smaller one you can get at the park.



2. We're using this map now to plan a Patagonia trip next year. I wish I had 1:24000 scale maps to supplement this overview. A 1:80K map with 100 meter contours leaves a lot to the imagination. However it is very helpful supplenet to a good guidebook like the Lonely Planet Patagonian Andes book.



3. Used this on our trek to Torres del Paine.It was our favorite map- we had to others- but this one is the best!



4. This was the best of the maps for the Parque Nacional that I saw while there. Good detail of the terrain, but would have liked more consistent information on trail distances in km. Distances are recorded in hours it takes to hike each segment, which is a standard that the other maps of the park use. However, the times given were a good estimate of the time it takes to hike each part of the trail. What isn't clear from any of the maps is the difficulty or rough conditions of many of the trails. In general, trekking in the park is moderately challenging, but the condition of many of the trails (rocky, steep, and/or highly eroded in places) makes it more so.



5. This is just what I needed. The paths are clearly marked as are the camp sites and contour lines. Some of the print is very small and sometimes blends in too much with the background colour, but you will be able to work it out. All walks are also given an approximate walking time which really helps give an idea of the terrain before you go there.

5 comments about Laminated Rome City Streets Map by Borch (English, German, Italian, French and Spanish) (English, Spanish, French, Italian and German Edition).

1. I NEVER RECEIVED THE PRODUCT. I CHOSE STANDARD SHIPPING. I FOUND IT AT THE LOCAL BARNES AND NOBLE BOOK STORE. THE REASON THAT I PURCHASED IT ON LINE WITH YOU WAS THAT EARLIER ON BARNES AND NOBLE DID NOT HAVE IT.
   VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THIS EXPERIENCE. I DON'T BELIEVE THAT I CAN GET MY MONEY BACK. I EMAILED THE BOOK DIPOSITRY WHERE IT CAME FROM AND THEY SAID THAT THEY COULD NOT SHIP IT OUT AS OVER NIGHT SINCE I DIDN'T GET IT BY STANDARD. SO I HAVE PAID 2-3 TIMES AS MUCH FOR TWO MAPS.



2. Love this map. Laminated for my new routes drawn each day. Worth the purchase. Glad I had this map on my trip!



3. This map will be great for upcoming trip to Italy. We are planning our daily excursions and the ways to get to our desired venues. We want to walk when we can but also want to maximize our visits with Rome's history. We had borrowed a map from friends and thought we were getting the same item but this map is a bit smaller even though it meets our needs. Check to be sure this is what you want if you are looking for a particular map. The description are multilingual which is also a great plus.



4. In the labyrinth of streets called Rome, walking without a map like this is like walking with a blindfold - You can walk, but your end-up where you didn't plan and have to rely on the locals, which are not very english-literate.
   A laminated map is a must since you'll be puting it in and out of your bag doxens of times. A paper map will wear out very quickly.



5. I love this map! It's laminated, durable, easy-to-read, and so full of information that you almost don't need a guide book to accompany it. Love it.

4 comments about Laminated Beijing Map by Borch (English, Spanish, French, Italian and German Edition).

1. I have been to Beijing 4 times and took this map for my last 12 day visit. It was GREAT! Got me to all my meetings, Olympic events, and even my native friends were loving my Map! If only they could do more maps on every district in BJ, but then you would need a book. Worth every penny I paid! Thank YOU.



2. In looking at maps of Beijing, my criterion was simple: "Does the map show the street where our hotel is located?" This was a challenge: the hotel we chose was a converted mansion on a narrow "hutong," or side street. The Borch map was the only one I could find that did - much, much more detail than any similar map - certainly vastly better than any of the free maps that hotels give out. Note that the current version is updated for the Olympics and does show the new Beijing Metro lines that are about to open.



3. During my 2 weeks in the Beijing area this map was indispensible! It's laminated, so it holds up great. The streets are labeled in pinyin (roman characters). This is perfect, since these days almost every street sign in Beijing is also labeled in pinyin (as well as Chinese characters). Almost every landmark you want to find is on the map in English as well as Chinese.
   
   Subway lines and their stops are indicated (except the brand new line #5). The map makes it very easy to get around Beijing and even includes overlays with major places such as the forbidden city and summer palace.



4. During my ten day trip to Beijing The Berndtson laminated map of Beijing was indispensable. It is easily readable and has many of the best places to visit highlighted which made planning each day easy. The map not only survived the hundreds of openings and refolding, but is still in excellent shape for many future uses. The only shortcoming is that the map does not cover the outlying areas of Beijing. It covers only the central area out to the "third ring road"

1. Todo tiene un precio made me think about the challenges women face at work, the competition in the workplace between men and women and between women and women. And it was a great way to expand my reading in Spanish!

5 comments about Stories from Spain / Historias de España (Side by Side Bilingual Books) (English and Spanish Edition).

1. I bought the whole series when I started to teach myself Spanish. It's a great bi-lingual starter, with Spanish on the right hand pages and the English translations on the left hand pages. It's a great starting point to get yourself dug-in to Spanish, at a simple to middle level of literature. The stories are great fun to read, and I have read them numberous times with better understanding and speed each time. I wish they had more of these in the series... they really are entertaining, as well as instructional.



2. This is an excellent book for someone who speaks a little Spanish, but is not comfortable with fluent conversations. It has one short story in Spanish on one page and then in English on the next, so you can always check yourself, or read it in English, if you prefer. You get to see the verbs conjugated properly and can learn some of the phrases. The stories are interesting and help to make you a little more cultured. I definitely recommend this book.



3. I speak Spanish fairly well and can read technical manuals in Spanish without a problem, but I haven't read many novels in Spanish. I bought this book to advance my Spanish reading ability hoping it would help me to progress to more advanced works. I'm still in that transitioning phase, but I enjoyed this book enough to purchase two more from the same collection. Each page of Spanish text is accompanied by the corresponding page of English text on the opposite side. If the reader has trouble with an idiomatic expression or an unfamiliar word, the translation is readily available.
   
   My wife is in a similar situation, but her first language is Spanish and her second is English. She too has found this book useful as a tool. If you're learning Spanish or English and wish to polish off your language skills, try this book.



4. I graduated with a BA degree in Spanish more than 30 years ago, and although I am quite fluent, I am currently reviewing and brushing up on my skills. Stories from Spain is not only a good book for intermediate Spanish students, but also for those of us who need to "get up to speed" once again. The bilingual format does it's job, which is to allow the reader to gain fluency without getting discouraged by having to constantly look up words in the dictionary. It is also a great way for the student to get immediate feedback on his/her reading comprehension.
   The legends are clever, heartwarming, and many contain a moral lesson. I thoroughly enjoyed each story.



5. This is a true bilingual book in Spanish and English. I love the format of presenting the Spanish on one page and the English equivalent on the facing page. You can easily go from one to the other. Because the stories are short and pretty basic, if you are trying to learn Spanish it is a great tutoring tool. You should already know some basic Spanish before reading the book, but for the intermediate or advanced beginner it is a great way to increase your vocabulary and practice correct sentence structure. In addition, the stories are from Spain and so teach some of the history and legends to help you get a feel for the country. Finally, there is a small dictionary at the back of the book that contains most of the words that you might encounter in the text.

   Whether you use it for a review, to learn Spanish, to increase your Spanish vocabulary or just like the stories, it is a great little book and this style of dual translation books is highly recommended as an adjunct to a Spanish course of any type to recommend to speed your learning of a foreign language.
