Beginning iPhone 4 Development: Exploring the iOS SDK

Technology changes so fast that what we learned before is now useless. This book is outdated. I had been keeping it because I had been planning to use the book's pages to make origami roses shown in the video below. I hadn't had the time to make them yet, so I listed this book as a giveaway for those who want paper to practice origami. But after over two weeks of being listed as a giveaway since 4/15/2021, there has been no interested taker. I desperately need to declutter my bookshelves.  I feel that I'm trapped in the same town for too long and the thought of moving with all my shelves of books just overwhlems me.   So, I just had to trash this book . I hate it going to the landfill but I must free mysself enough to contemplate moving.  My curbside recycle pickup told me it didn't take books as recyclables. So the landfill it went.

"For those who use creativity, persistence, and sound business sense, money is there to be made." pg. 9 "Lack of marketing analysis, careful planning, budgeting and persistence has caused some people to lose their investment." pg. 11 "To have a dynamite book, you must spend much time writing it, producing it and promoting it." pg. 11 My reading suggestion:  Like all non-fiction books, the pages of introduction in this book can be skipped to save time because it doesn't matter whether you read those pages or not.

I finally finished reading this book. I love it because I'm going to be a more educated voter now than before. This book discusses all the challenges that America's democratic system is facing, and it also gives us hope on how to improve it. The book shows me the important duty of a voter and a citizen. It gives me a better understanding on how Washington functions and malfunctions. I'm now selling this book to make space on my bookshelf. Please note that I don't do exchange or return on this item.

Mr. Mercedes: A Novel

This is my first time reading a novel from Stephen King. I just finished the first few pages that described the event that set the beginning of Chapter one in the book, which is summarized in the first paragraph of the book summary on the book jacket .  At this moment, I don't know why this book is loved by so many.

Vera Wang On Weddings

This book has too many black and white photos. Since the book dedicates a lot of pages on wedding dresses, the black and white photos are a big turnoff for me.  Another shortcoming of this book is that it only covers food and drinks in one page, even though they are, in my opinion, the most important and costly elements in a wedding.  Click here to read a page .
