Beowulf, Seamus Hearney
Side by side comparison (english / old english)
There may be a version that fits you better, there may be a version that somehow fits a situation more appropriately, I don't know about that . However there won't be a better translation, period. I believe this to be the standard that all other versions are marked by.
And these are some of the reasons that I decided to buy this book. And I'd buy it again. Have since went(Beowulf crazy) but haven't found a better translation, only others will often offer their own thoughts on the poem itself. This one doesn't.
All in all A number one

gamakatsu hooks are the best
when we can we use gamakatsu hooks because of their inherent quality and uber sharness. because of their extra sharpness we have proved to ourselves that the gamakatsu hooks do catch more fish, this is especially evident when the fishing is slow or the bites are soft. Gamakatsu hooks have also proven to keep their sharp point longer than other hooks and the also rarely bend and even more rarely break. If you buy them once you will buy them again , and this is an excellent price. with good , quick service.

Customs and Etiquette of India
Asd a first time visitor to India I found the book (near booklet) to be of great value. It is fairly comprehensive, and written so that a westerner can understand. It covers some of the nuts and bolts of travel such as toilets and eating and interpersonal relations with the people you will inevitably meet. I would recomend it as part of an arsonal of understanding prior to a trip to India.
It's faults in my mind is that it could cover more, ie be a longer book. How could the author comprehend my level of ignorance?
