Amacom 1990-08 0814459692 / 9780814459690 Hardcover Used: Very Good Hardcover
Since it was first published, The Time Trap, by internationally known authority Alec Mackenzie, has indeed become The Classic Book on Time Management, as proclaimed in its subtitle. Based on the theory that self-management is the key to handling the time crunch that we all face, it focuses primarily on Mackenzie's 20 biggest time wasters, such as telephone interruptions, the inability to say "no," and personal disorganization, and offers clear step-by-step ways to combat them. The updated third edition also includes information on time problems caused by technology, downsizing, and self-employment.

Arthur A. Fleisher; Brian L. Goff; Robert D. Tollison The National Collegiate Athletic Association: A Study in Cartel Behavior
University Of Chicago Press 1992-06-15 0226253260 / 9780226253268 Hardcover Used: Good Hardcover
Former library book in very good condition with usual library markings. Jacket protected by mylar cover. Clean and complete.Product DescriptionIntercollegiate sports is an enterprise that annually grosses over $1 billion in income. Some schools receive more than $20 million from athletic programs, perhaps as much as $10 million simply from the sale of football tickets. Probing the history and business practices of the most powerful sports organization of colleges and universities in the United States, the authors present a persuasive case that the NCAA is in fact a cartel, its members engaged in classically defined restrictive practices for the sole purpose of jointly maximizing their profits. This fresh perspective on the NCAA's institutional structure helps to explain why illicit payments to athletes persist, why non-NCAA organizations have not flourished, and why members have readily agreed on certain suspect rules. Offering a valuable case study for sports analysts and students of economics and cartel behavior, this book is a revealing glimpse inside the embattled NCAA program.

Beardstown Ladies Investment Club; Robin Dellabough The Beardstown Ladies' Guide to Smart Spending for Big Savings: How to Save for a Rainy Day Without Sacrificing Your Lifestyle
Hyperion Books (Adult Trd Pap) 1998-01 0786882689 / 9780786882687 Paperback Used: Good Paperback
The two previous bestsellers by the "Ladies" dealt with commonsense stock-market investing. Here they tell how to economize on everything from baby cribs to cemetery plots to have more money to invest. Their no-nonsense text, sprinkled with personal anecdotes, systematically ferrets out money-saving angles on weddings (don't splurge), mortgages (don't overpay) and new-car buying (don't) and divulges income tax secrets "the rich already know." The Ladies deal sympathetically but firmly with those two super bugaboos of modern life-credit card spending and skyrocketing health care costs-and show how air travel and home-appliance buying are loaded with frugal possibilities. Finally, the far-reaching study of auto, home and life insurance, retirement planning and ways to prepare for ever-growing college costs should be particularly valuable. The budget-minded will find here all they could wish for.

Bernard meltzer Bernard Meltzer Solves Your Money Problems
Simon & Schuster 1982-06-21 0671253433 / 9780671253431 Hardcover Used: Very Good Hardcover
Reader review:Bernard Meltzer's book is dated, but some of what he says is still useful, such as his step-by-step discussion of all the processes involved in buying a house, the difference between a contract and a binder, etc. Also still useful is his advice about building a good credit rating. The financial landscape has changed quite a bit in the years since this book was published, including the inflation situation. Back then, it was difficult for young people starting out in their careers to afford a house, car, etc. and make it to the major financial milestones. Now it is next-to-impossible. Meltzer makes it clear that having a certain amount of debt is OK if you have the capability to pay it off and the debt incurred comes from a purchase (such as a house for a family or the decision to have children) which provides for an emotional need. On the other hand the range of financial products has expanded since then, and there are many more intended for young people, the self-employed, and small savers, as the SEP, the Roth IRA and the low-minimum savings or money market account. I don't think Bernard Meltzer could have dreamed of telephone banking, online savings accounts, credit card transactions over the internet, etc. but I'm sure he would have approved of the legitimate savings/money market accounts that are available to small savers today. CDs and money market accounts were an option for fewer people than they are now, and I think that the fact that there are providers who offer these products with low minimum balances is a positive step forward which encourages the low-income (if they know about these products) to put their money in a bank rather than just carry or keep a lot of cash at home. What he makes it clear that he does not approve of are the stock market, currency, and commodities markets for "those who cannot afford to gamble", and he does not address these investments. While this is debatable, this is his position. (I personally don't think these and other investments should be entirely discouraged, but you should only use money you can afford to lose because there is a degree of risk that isn't in FDIC insured savings accounts in an established and legitimate bank). Meltzer does talk about the gold coins and other gold-related investments available at the time, including gold mining company stocks. This book is still good to read, if only for Meltzer's injection of personal history and life experiences into it.

Bill Staton The America's Finest Companies Investment Plan: Double Your Money Every 5 Years
Hyperion Books (Adult Trd Pap) 1995-01 0786880473 / 9780786880478 Paperback Used: Good Paperback
Reader review:I have read more financial advice books than I care to count and this book was the one that finally made sense to me. I have been floundering around, investing here and there, without a feeling of actually knowing what I was doing. Mr. Staton's methods are a great comfort to new investors, especially those with limited funds. It takes the guesswork out of wondering whether you're investing in a solid company or one that will fold before you have a chance to make a profit. Mr. Staton lists hundreds of companies that have stood the test of time and you can feel comfortable investing in any one of them. I found his book to be easy to follow, with a lot of solid and practical advice. I feel as though I finally have a real investment plan. This book is a treat for long-term investors and for those who are new to the investing universe.

Bill Thomas; Charles Sutherland Red Tape: 2
Dutton Adult 1992-10-01 0525935029 / 9780525935025 Hardcover Used: Good Hardcover
Thomas ( Lawyers and Thieves ) and investment consultant Sutherland lay it on the line for venture capitalists looking to do business in Russia: "You have to start out with the clear understanding you could get royally screwed." And, they add, pack cartons of cigarettes "to use as money," candy "to use as food" and take along a sense of humor. These cautions--and dozens more--made, the authors of this shrewd, pragmatic, spirited view of the new capitalist frontier guide readers through "a gloomy, gray country full of hustlers and salesmen," and point out pitfalls in dealing with a byzantine banking system, currency auctions ("the ruble is currency in its most elastic and creative form") and legal structure. Foreign investors, the authors stress, should commit themselves to establishing a long-term presence (witness PepsiCo and McDonald's) and they note that presently one of the few profitable ways of doing business is through "countertrade" (Xerox and General Electric, for example, barter photocopiers and turbines for building materials). The Soviets--the authors insist on this designation--"can wheel and deal with goods and money in ways the average capitalist couldn't imagine" because the one-time apparatchiks, who are the only ones with know-how, are still in charge.
