Floorplan 9 Professional
Customer Review: PRO??? Not worth the extra.
Brought this having used previous versions of Floorplan and TurboCAD to design an extension. Last time the drawings went straight through planning permission. In this version the bridge software between FP and TurboCAD is non-functional on V9 drawings thus making the ‘pro’ bit useless. Still waiting for reply from avantquest support who neither respond to email nor phone support for this one. (it was also dodgy on V7 & 8 but fixed by patches) I would recomment either getting a version you have seen working on a friends setup or looking elsewhere. Not sure whether I would risk the newer versions in case they have the same reliability problems.
Customer Review: Not for unusual shaped houses
Perhaps unsurprisingly given the price, this software is quite limited. I bought it hoping to do some floorplan designs but soon found that it wasn’t man enough for the job - if you’re house has any unusual features (has more than 3 levels, anything but a regular-shaped roof) then this probably won’t be the package for you. If you’re looking to redesign a single floor area, then this should be fine.

Amazon Price: ?10.49
Used Price: ?10.68
Customer Review: Brilliant the Bible of Cross Stitch
I have been cross-stitching for over 20 years and have many books on the subject. I can honestly say 2001 Cross Stitch Designs outshines any of the numerous books and magazines I have accumumiated over the years including books from different Countries. There is a motif for every occasion, an alpherbet for all and boarders to suit samplers, cards, napkins, tablecloths etc. etc.etc. This one book will save me endless hours looking for the perfect motif for the occasion I am stitching , as everything is there in one book.
Customer Review: I love this book!
This book has almost every design a cross stitcher could need. The full-color pictures/charts are very helpful.

Customer Review: Highly Recommended
I bought this book about a week ago and its fantastic, lots of lovely pictures and information to boot, brilliant!!
Customer Review: Excellent if you are a beginner or first time home buyer
I purchased my first home a year ago, and had little idea about plants for inside or outside the home. This book could not have been more helpful and I now have a better idea of how I will plant my garden next spring! I love the differnt sections, and now have a better idea of how to care for my plant purchases, as well as shade/sunlight placement. A great present for first time home buyers or gardening enthusiasts.

Customer Review: Great water filter
An idiot could use it, I found instructions very easy to follow, got it at a good price under ?9, so choose to buy 2 as it worked out better value as it came complete with 3 filters, I have decided to put one in my fridge and one on my counter top to refill kettle and for cooking etc. Great value at my time of purchase from Amazon but notice they have gone up to nearly ?15.
Customer Review: Great Value at ?8.97
I bought this filter as a present for a friend when it was ?8.97. It came with 3 cartridges too. My friend thinks it’s a brilliant piece of kit - the water tastes sweet and cool and filters very quickly. In fact, it filters so quickly he thought something was wrong as he hadn’t heard a ‘click’ when inserting the cartridge. He contacted Brita and they told him that you don’t often hear an audible ‘click’ but the way to check whether the cartridge is properly in place: after inserting the cartridge, prior to filling with water, tip the filter upside down. If the cartridge stays put, you’ve put it in the right way. He had put the filter in the right way so thumbs up to Brita to improving their flow on the ‘classic’ models. I regret not having bought one of these myself. ?8.97 was a bargain. I’ve only given it 4 stars as the price has risen by just under ?6. If it was still ?8.97 I’d give it a full 5 stars (and buy one for myself!).

Customer Review: Go Figure
This is an accurate, first-order of detail on how computers work. The CD is a nice bonus. I would recommend this text for high schoolers and above.
Customer Review: Once again Cive does it!
I am a hobbyist and have found this book invaluable. I have a Computer Science background and so have no problems with the concepts. Even if you do have problems with the concepts, the Labs are a walk-through and one can then kind of ‘get it’. Very satisfied and having fun!
