 The best par t of Cracker Jacks is the prize inside.... Mar 21, 2005
By Dr. Moebius
I finally had a chance to crack open the surprise inside my copy of the Quake Handbook (two CD-ROMs at the back of PART B and another in Part A). And what a surprise!!! If I printed out all of the material packed into these the 3 included CD-ROMs, you could fill your departmental library.
Useful and rare. The CDs contain something for anyone and everyone. The contents are so voluminous, I'm thankful they had the good sense to index the contents and include this on the CD as a searchable database via Adobe PDF. So, when your colleague down the hall asks you to help him locate an odd reference, equation, or image, you should show him/her your hefty pair. Together the paired volumes and the contents of the 3 CD-ROMS are a seismological librarian's dream, including many rare and out-of-print classics. Truly a digital treasure chest of authoritative content neatly packaged. Frankly, I'm surprised L-severe did not charge extra for the CD content, as the information content is a tiny fraction of an equivalent journal subscription. I love it when they put a free toy inside.
 Exactly As Advertised May 11, 2011
By Amy Brown
I've been coveting this book for a while but was put off by the price. When I stumbled on it advertised for almost half the list price in the Amazon Marketplace I was ready to purchase. I then wondered if it was too good to be true. The description was in "as new condition" but who knew what that actually meant and since this is a reference book, I didn't want coffee stains on pages. But my excitement about owning them won out and I decided to purchase the book. They arrived well before the estimated arrival date which was a nice surprise but the really big surprise was that the book was immaculate. I couldn't be more happy with my purchase.
