1 comments about Let's Go Map Guide Seattle (2nd Ed.) (Let's Go Map Guides: Seattle).

1. I recently moved to Seattle from a larger city where the street layout followed an erratic and spiraling design. Upon arriving in Seattle, I was nonplussed by the sheer geometry of it's urban organization.
   I became quickly disorientated by so much regularity that I decided to buy myself a small guide...thinking that maybe I'd get some good restaurant tips in the bargain.
   Think again.
   Sure, the cover is a laminated map. However, it's a focalized map of downtown Seattle, so it's handy...when you're in downtown Seattle.
   As to the info inside, it hasn't served me once...
   Overall: not much useful info, not many useful street plans.
   My advice: Save your money on this one, buy a big 8x11 book of street plans, get the commercial info you need online and try out the restos in the Seattle Zagat.

1. I'm sure this book was useful at one point, however too many of the reviews are for restaurants that no longer exist. (Note that I'm referring to the 2nd Edition.) Either wait for an updated edition, or use the interweb for more current info. To be fair, the reviews are well written and informative.

5 comments about Artificial Imagination: A humorous photo story of a journey through California, Seattle and Nashville.

1. Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R27056TEI8N6A9 his book transcends genre -- it's a good collection of memoirs, entertaining style, nice splash of humor, an extremely detailed travelogue with beautiful photographs, a good description of technology, a touch of Science Fiction (since it is purportedly written by a Artificial Imagination program) and suffused with philosophical musings.
   
   Even though it's obviously written by a Technologist, the book is very human. It is primarily about the immigrant experience, but Kalpanik is extremely observant and has an eye to look for the unusual, notice what stands out and build humorous side of people, places and his own life.
   
   Wonderful! one can feel a touch of his bitter-sweet experiences but one is encouraged by his ability to find humor everywhere.



2. Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R3MNQP39J0TE6R Great book, will make you laugh, smile, giggle, chuckle, giggle, crack up, guffaw and generally have a good time. Extremely nice photos. And it is actually very thoughtful, one can quickly see through the pretended thoughtlessness. Here are some posters and calendars with the high resolution versions of the book:

3. The word artificial originally meant "artful, crafty." That's an apt description of ARTIFICIAL IMAGINATION, which blends art, craft, and wit into a narrative that teaches us life lessons that we did not knew we knew.
   -- Richard Lederer, author of Anguished English



4. Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R2K9BD305H2ISE Very entertaining and engaging. Author is able to take a relatively mundane topic and make it interesting. Excellent for busy professionals looking for light reading since you can read it a chapter at a time and not lose the thread.



5. Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R3HI11PJUYIZVJ Kalpanik's writing is down to earth, funny, witty and smart. He chronicles his journey of self-discovery with an amazing detail and humor. His coverage of the various places he has been to--UC Davis, San Francisco, San Diego, Seattle and Nashville-- was informative and enjoyable, and so were his jokes around them. I recommend this book to anyone looking for light reading, specially busy professionals who do not have time to read a whole book in one straight session but want to read one entertaining a chapter at a time.
