Producing such informative sentences on book printing was not an overnight achievement. Lots of hard work and sweat was also put in it.

Today's book printing Article
Book Title Secrets To Selling More Books


Your struggling to sell just a few copies of your book, ebook,
report or other information-based product each month?

Are you stumped by the lack of response you are getting?

You are positive people want your information, yet no matter
how hard you try, you can't seem to tap into the flood of
demand with your infoproduct.

Happily, there is one simple, quick change you can make to
your product that can make a massive difference to your
results -- improve your book title.

Your book title is often the ONLY advertisement that stands
between your bank account and your prospects wallet.

Why is that?

Your book title finds it's way to directories, onto bookshelves
(in the case of a printed book), website titles, website links,
email and forum signatures, business cards, topics of seminars,
press releases, joint venture partner proposals and campaigns,
interviews, and much, much more....

Here are 3 highly successful techniques for turning your mediocre
book titles into sizzling, red-hot, money-making titles...

Book Title Writing SECRET #1: Grab Their Attention

It often happens that book writers have great content, even great
sales letters and press releases, but their title is a dismal, limp
descriptive bore.

This is not the place to "save your best" marketing for the
press release.

You want your book title to reach out and grab the browser's
attention instantly by being personal, controversial and knowing
exactly what is "front-of-mind" for your market.

Use strong words, action words, and controversy (within reason)
to capture your prospect's attention.

Book Title Writing SECRET #2: Tap Into Their Interest

Apart from what you may think, you will not create interest in
your readers, what you can do is anticipate and tap into interests
that already exist in the mind's of your readers.

How do you do this?

Simple, by identifying what that interest is and clearly
communicating this in your title.

For example, you've selected dieting as your subject area - and
you discover that what your market is REALLY interested in right
now is diets that are not dangerous to your health.

Your title could be something like:

WARNING: What You Don't Know About Low-Carb Diets That May Hurt You.

It's a matter of knowing what the REAL concerns are in your
market.

Book Title Writing SECRET #3: Create Anticipation

Your book title must turn casual interest into enough curiosity
that they will take a next step - read your sales letter, lookup
your book, open the cover, purchase your book, etc...

Once you have grabbed their attention, tapped into their interest,
the final step is to convince them that YOU, the author, offers
a believable, unique and better fulfillment of their desire than
others do.

You can create curiosity by:

- giving your approach it's own "technology" name
- listing the number of steps or formula stages
- promising results
-

Book Title Writing SECRET #4: Overcoming Objections

Finally, there is one final step that can really make your book
title effective - that's to eliminate the biggest objection your
prospects will have to not buy your product.

For example, in Steve Manning's book "How You Can Write Your Book
On Anything in 14 Days Or Less...Guaranteed!" (see
http://www.infoproductcreator.com/part/14days ) Steve overcomes
the number one objection in the mind's of aspiring writers with
the words "About Anything").

Why?

Most writers are not confident about their ability to write about
a given topic - promising them an approach that will work no matter
what the subject matter, overcomes the biggest buying obstacle right
in the title.

With these tips, turn your work into it's own marketing machine by
Attacking your market with your book title. Watch your sales soar,
your credibility increase and best of all, watch your bank account
grow.

Women & Money: Owning the Power to Control Your Destiny



Women & Money: Owning the Power to Control Your Destiny
Money maven Suze Orman's latest book, Women & Money addresses the complicated (and often dysfunctional) relationship women have with personal finance. Orman's direct, non-condescending style is perfect for this subject matter--she begins with the premise that "Women can invest, save, and handle debt as well and skillfully as any man" and then tackles the important question--"So why don't they?" Designed to educate and inspire, Women & Money also offers a "Save Yourself Plan," a five-month program that "delivers genuine long-term financial security." Want to know more? Watch a video message from Suze below, and take a gander at the first chapter of Women & Money--you'll be "controlling your destiny" in no time. --Daphne Durham

Read the First Chapter of Women & Money

For Women Only

I never thought I'd write a book about money just for women. I never thought it was necessary. So then why am I doing just that in my eighth book? And why now? Let me explain. All my previous books were written with the belief that gender is not a factor on any level in mastering the nuts and bolts of smart financial management. Women can invest, save, and handle debt just as well and skillfully as any man. I still believe that--why would anyone think differently? So imagine my surprise when I learned that some of the people closest to me in my life were in the dark about their own finances. Clueless. Or, in some cases, willfully resisting doing what they knew needed to be done. I'm talking about smart, competent, accomplished women who present a face to the world that is pure confidence and capability. Do you mean to tell me that I, Suze Orman, who make my living solving the financial problems of total strangers, couldn't spot the trouble brewing so close to home? I don't think I'm blind; I just think that these women became very, very good at hiding their troubles from me.Why not? They had years of practice hiding them from themselves.

Read more from Chapter 1...




Customer Review: very educational

Fantastic book. I recommend it to all my friends and family. It is a great tool for understanding money and how to best use it. It is now my favorite Suze Orman product

Customer Review: Women's Required Reading

This book should be required reading for all women. It covers those real world subjects negelected by our educational system. I have purchased three of Suzy's books for birthday and wedding gifts.



JanSport Odyssey Daypack



JanSport Odyssey Daypack
The JanSport Odyssey is a workhorse of a backpack. On trail, on campus or around town, it's got the features you need to carry heavy loads comfortably.

Customer Review: Open Wide

This is a great bag for space. If you have a lot to pack and are resourceful, then you can find many uses for a bag like this. One thing I wish it had was a built in rain-fly. Or one could just buy a backpack cover from REI that would be sufficient.

Customer Review: excellent backpack

This backback provides more than enough space for my 8th grader who carries loads of books and binders daily. Best buy on a backpack I have found yet.



Oster 2 Speed Hand Blender



Oster 2 Speed Hand Blender
Oster 2614 2 Speed Handheld Blender achieve consistent results with this multi-task hand blender

Customer Review: Wish I had read these reviews first...

I'm usually pretty good about researching first but I was already at Target, I needed a blender and there was this for $20 and the KitchenAid for $50. Being Mr. Cheap, I of course bought this one and...well, it lasted 2 weeks before the plastic housing broke and it won't hold the blade any more. Of course I pitched the box and receipt so I'm out $20...but smarter!

Customer Review: RGCvik

Had this for a couple years and continue to use it almost daily. I only use it to make protein shakes with milk and power mix. It seems to work well for that. One does have to be careful not to pull the unit out of the cup to much or it will splatter all over the place; I don't falt the unit only the user...after all it is a blender..... It is a little noisy and can vibrate the counter a little if you place the head all the way to the bottom of the cup. It is simple to use (two buttons) and very easy to clean.







Mystery of the Mummy



Mystery of the Mummy
Customer Review: PC game

I returned this game. It wouldn't load properly, and when it did, it got stuck alot and I was never able to play it properly. I have MANY Pc games, so I know it wasn't my system.

Customer Review: Sherlock Holmes Not At His Best...

I got this game as a birthday gift, and was devastated that my windows 98 computer didn't seem to be compatible with it. The screen was all green and mottled. So if you have a windows 98 computer, DO NOT buy this game. I had to use a walk-through for almost the entire game because I couldn't see the screen! After I got a new computer (windows xp), the game worked like a charm. Here is my review.



Plot-B- The plot of this game was rather thin. There were no other characters in this game to talk with, and no one to give you any hints. By the end of this game, I had almost forgotten what the story line even was!



Graphics-A- The graphics in this game were nice. They were mostly clear and bright. They weren't spectacular, but they weren't unbearable.



Puzzles-B- Elementary my dear Watson? I think not. The puzzles in this game ranged from very simple to ridiculously hard. You may have to use a walk-through if you are like me, and are not a genius.



Content-Like the game box indicates, this game is appropriate for everyone!



Overall- B This game is a nice game if you don't mind it's imperfections.

If you are a Sherlock Holmes fan, I think that you will find this game to not be in keeping with Holmes character, but if you are a adventure games fan, I think you will enjoy it.

Introduce a grateful friend to Leonidas today, or give in to temptation and indulge yourself...Leonidas Famous Belgian Chocolates...a great tradition of quality and freshness, since 1913.

Customer Review: Heavenly!

This was a Christmas gift for my husband. He says its one of his best gifts ever; every evening he looks forward to "rewarding" himself with one of these chocolates.

Customer Review: Makes a great present!

I recently bought this item for a friend whom I rarely get to see because we live far away from one another. Her birthday was coming right up, and I found out from another friend that she loved dark chocolate. Amazon.com shipped the item very quickly. I had been contemplating sending the item with expedited service, but ended up assuming my friend wouldn't care one way or the other if the item arrived on time for her birthday. In fact, the item showed up just two days later, ON TIME for her birthday, when I had just paid for standard delivery. My friend immediately sent me a very excited e-mail thanking me for the present, and said that she loved it. Thanks, amazon!

Raising Sand



Raising Sand
The musical collaboration of the decade, Raising Sand is the sound of two iconic figures stepping out of their respective comfort zones and letting their instincts lead them across a brave new sonic landscape. Despite hailing from distinctly different backgrounds, Alison Krauss and Robert Plant share a maverick spirit and willingness to extend the boundaries of their respective genres. This spirit, expertly honed by producer T Bone Burnett, has resulted in an album pitched three steps beyond some cosmic collision of early urban blues, spacious West Texas country, and the untapped potential of the folk-rock revolution.

Supported by the unparalleled musicianship of Marc Ribot, Dennis Crouch, Mike Seeger, Jay Bellerose, Norman Blake, Greg Leisz, Patrick Warren, and Riley Baugus, Plant and Krauss -- as both solo and harmony vocalists -- tackle an intriguing selection of songs from such tunesmiths as Tom Waits, Gene Clark, Sam Phillips, Townes Van Zandt, The Everly Broth! ers, and Mel Tillis. Raising Sand finds Robert Plant and Alison Krauss exploring popular music's elemental roots while still sounding effortlessly, breath-takingly contemporary.

The song "Killing the Blues" is featured in the new JC Penney American Living Campaign.

Customer Review: Give it a chance...you'll fall in love...

I'm a huge Alison Kraus fan. My wife bought this for me as a gift. I was terribly excited. When I listened to it the first time, I was disappointed. The second time I found a track or two that I liked a little. After listening a third time, I was hooked. This is not what you expect from either Plant or Kraus, but once you listen to it a few times, it sort of comes into its own as something very special. It'll be ranked among some of my all-time favorites.

Customer Review: The snips of songs I heard before the release really got me excited....

To make a long story short, I gave the CD to a friend of mine. There are a couple of very good songs, but most of it sounds forced, like both of them are way out of their element.

Customer Review: Worthwile Upgrade

If you are a user or TurboTax Business and Quickbooks, then you will find this a worthwhile upgrade. Additionally, I have been using this version on Vista Home Premium 64 Bit and it is working fine.

Customer Review: WARNING! - QuickBooks is Adware

Unless you like reading pop up ads, don't buy this software. QuickBooks Pro forces you to suffer through a constant barrage of pop up ads for addtional services, products and upgrades. I just spoke to customer service and they told me there is no way to disable this feature. I can understand being forced to read ads for free software, but I am stunned that I am forced to read ads in a piece of software that I paid for. The next time I am forced to upgrade (QuickBooks stops supporting older versions of their software after just a few years) I'll just switch to one of their competitors.

Customer Review: OBD II & Electronic Engine Management Systems (Haynes)

This book is easy reading and comprehensive. It covers all of the OBD II diagnostic codes for the majority of auto builders. I've found it to be very helpful in diagnosing vehicles with the check engine light on.

Customer Review: OBD-II insight

The book is quite useful to help one understand how the OBD-II system works. It may not solve your current problem, but at least you will have some idea of what causes the "service engine" light to come on and sometimes go off. It makes no bones about the fact that some problems are difficult to solve.

Customer Review: Worthwile Upgrade

If you are a user or TurboTax Business and Quickbooks, then you will find this a worthwhile upgrade. Additionally, I have been using this version on Vista Home Premium 64 Bit and it is working fine.

Customer Review: WARNING! - QuickBooks is Adware

Unless you like reading pop up ads, don't buy this software. QuickBooks Pro forces you to suffer through a constant barrage of pop up ads for addtional services, products and upgrades. I just spoke to customer service and they told me there is no way to disable this feature. I can understand being forced to read ads for free software, but I am stunned that I am forced to read ads in a piece of software that I paid for. The next time I am forced to upgrade (QuickBooks stops supporting older versions of their software after just a few years) I'll just switch to one of their competitors.

Customer Review: OBD II & Electronic Engine Management Systems (Haynes)

This book is easy reading and comprehensive. It covers all of the OBD II diagnostic codes for the majority of auto builders. I've found it to be very helpful in diagnosing vehicles with the check engine light on.

Customer Review: OBD-II insight

The book is quite useful to help one understand how the OBD-II system works. It may not solve your current problem, but at least you will have some idea of what causes the "service engine" light to come on and sometimes go off. It makes no bones about the fact that some problems are difficult to solve.

20 Ways To Increase Your Traffic And Sales With e-Books


Copyright 2005 Keith Gloster

Have you ever considered writing your own e-book? Writing and distributing an e-book through the proper channels can generate high volumes of traffic and leads for your business.

But before rushing to create your masterpiece, you must first consider your intended target audience and then decide on the kind of content you wish to offer them.

Once this decision has been made, it's time to begin writing the headline and title of your sales letter and e-book. You should spend some time with this to be sure that your headline and title are catchy, targeted and contain one or more of the relevant keywords of your topic.

Next, start writing your sales letter and when finished, use the sales letter headline, e-book title and sales letter as an outline to begin writing your e-book.

Still not convinced of how easy it is to write and distribute an e-book to increase traffic, leads and sales for your business? If not, here are 20 creative ways which will motivate you to get started:


1. People love to get free stuff. A free eBook is perfect. They will visit your web site to get the free valuable information.


2. Give away the full version of your eBook in exchange for testimonials. You can use these customer statements to improve your ads' effectiveness.


3. When you write and give away a free eBook you will become known as an expert. This will gain people's trust and they will buy your main product or service quicker.


4. Publish your web site in eBook format. Put the eBook on a disk or CD-ROM then include it with your direct mail packages. This can increase the number of people that buy your product or service.


5. Offer your eBook as a free bonus for buying one of your main products or services. People will buy the product or service more often when you offer a free bonus.


6. Allow people to download your eBook for free, if they give the e-mail addresses of 3 to 5 friends or associates that would be interested in your eBook. This will quickly build your e-mail list.


7. Create a directory of web sites in eBook form. List peoples web sites in the directory that will agree to advertise the eBook on their web site or e-zine. This will give them an incentive to give away or advertise your eBook.


8. Allow other people to give away your free eBook. This will increase the number of people that will see your ad in the eBook. You could also include a mini catalog of all your product or services that you offer in the eBook.


9. Gain new leads by having people sign up and give you their contact information before they can download your eBook. This is a very effective way to conduct market research.


10. Make money selling advertising space in your eBook. You could charge for full page color ads, classified ads or banners ads. You could also trade advertising space in your eBook for other forms of advertising.


11. Give away the eBook as a gift to your current customers as a way of letting them know you appreciate their business. Place an ad in the eBook for a new back end product you're offering


12. Get free advertising by submitting your eBook to freebie and freeware/shareware web sites. This will increase the number of people that will download your eBook and see your ad.


13. Make money by selling the reprint rights to those that would like to sell the eBook. You could also make even more money by selling the master rights. This would allow other people to sell the reprint rights.


14. Hold a contest on your web site so people can win your eBook. You'll get free advertising by submitting your contest ad to free contest or sweepstakes directories.


15. You will gain valuable referrals from people telling others about your eBook. Word of mouth advertising can be very effective.


16. Make money cross promoting your eBook with other people's products or services. This technique will double your marketing effort without spending more time and money on your part.


17. Increase your e-zine subscribers by giving away your eBook to people that subscribe to your e-zine. This will give people an incentive to subscribe. Allow your e-zine subscribers to also give it away to multiply your subscribers.


18. Give away the eBook to people that join your affiliate program. This will increase the number of people that sign-up. You could also create an eBook for them to use that will help them promote your product or service.


19. Give away the eBook in exchange for people leaving their contact information. This will help you follow-up with the prospects who buy your main product or service.


20. Offer a free eBook that contains a couple of sample chapters. If they like it, give them the option of ordering the full version. It would work just like a software demo or shareware.


Do you need to be an established writer to author your own e-book? No! If the contents of your e-book is legible, targeted and has a perceived value to your audience, it should be well received. Should my e-book be long and filled with a bunch of fluff and filler? Absolutely not! It should be just long enough to get your point across to the reader and short enough to avoid fluff and filler. So there you have it. Start preparing to write your own e-book using the simple 3-step outline presented above. Use the 20 creative techniques for distributing it and watch your traffic and sales soar!

The Magic School Bus - Butterflies!



The Magic School Bus - Butterflies!
This episode of the popular science series for kids explores the many remarkable traits of butterflies. Mrs. Frizzle's (Lily Tomlin) class needs a new mascot--fast! There's a soccer game on this afternoon, and they rack their brains for an appropriate name--something that's "exciting and different." When Phoebe suggests they call their team the "Butterflies," everybody thinks it's a silly idea. So Ms. Frizzle takes them to the swamp in search of the mysterious "Bog Beast." But things take a strange twist when Mrs. Frizzle's Port-a-shrinker reduces the kids to bug size. They learn to appreciate the many wonderful traits of butterflies, as they watch them trick, scare, and surprise predators up close. When the bus itself grows wings, the kids must camouflage it and fly like a real butterfly to escape detection. By the end of their adventure, the class agrees that butterflies are more than just pretty! --Elisabeth Keating

This game is great! Both my 2 (almost 3 year old) and my 5 1/2 year old sons LOVE this game and they can both do it. They often feud over this one and we have had to resort to major turn taking over this game. It is great as it teaches lots of cool stuff, plus they can really enjoy just being goofy and creative making all sorts of different creatures! This game is #1 at our house!

Customer Review: It's Ok.

It's nothing special - my 5 y.o played it for a day or so and then put it aside for good. The game may be of certain interest for younger kids, perhaps, 4 y.o. Graphics are pretty much standard and of a good quality.

It covers the basics of accounting principles and the basic functions (common tasks) of QB. In my case, this was all I needed to apply for a job which required QB...



I am satisfied.

Riot!



Riot!
After gaining hordes of enthusiastic fans worldwide with their debut All We Know Is Falling, Paramore is poised to breakthrough to new heights with their newest offering Riot! Their sophomore record, produced by David Bendeth (Hawthorne Heights, Red Jumpsuit Apparatus) is due in stores everywhere June 12th. Lead single Misery Business, in addition to other album tracks, deals with issues of shame and self-discovery as lead-singer Hayley Williams discusses. I've been ashamed, she says. I've felt hate, jealously, lust, fear, pride, self-consciousness... You hear a lot of this on the record. I feel like I need to talk about it. It is not uncommon for Paramore to expose their emotions and allow fans to have such an intimate look into their lives. While recording the track Born For This, the band invited a handful of fans into the studio to sing back-up vocals on the song. Fans have responded by voting Paramore as the #1 Best New Band in Kerrang! magazine, beating out Panic! at the Disco among others, and Alternative Press magazine has named Riot! as one of their most anticipated releases of 2007. Brothers Josh and Zac Farro (on guitar and drums respectively), as well as Jeremy Davis (on bass), round out the enthusiastic Franklin, TN based quartet. This year finds the band bringing their energetic live show to fans in cities worldwide. This spring the band will embark on a 20+ date sold-out headlining club tour, including the now-legendary Bamboozle festival. Following a stint on the European club circuit, the band will return to the States this summer with a coveted main stage slot on the Vans Warped Tour.

Customer Review: More Paramore, Please

I bought Riot! about three weeks ago and have listened to it almost every day, if not every day! My introduction to Paramore was by my eleven year old daughter on MTV.com. CrushCrushCrush immediately caught my attention and I've been hooked on their songs since then. The maturity and power of 19 year old Hayley's voice is staggering and the guys in the band play as performers much older and more seasoned than 17,20 and 22.



Emergency is the second song that snagged me and the video is done really well. These four musical artists also look like their having alot of fun when performing live or just doing a video for TV. I don't own 'All We Know Is Falling', but I plan to buy it soon mainly because of 'Emergency'.



Given the opportunity and with the right management Paramore should be around for many years to come. Keep it up, guys(and gal)!

Customer Review: Enthralling, Energetic Rock Gold

Having never heard any of Paramore's music and being constantly baraged by a friend to get this album and give them a try I took the leap. There's only one thing to say when referring to this album and the band altogether, they're the future of rock music and Hayley Williams has a bright future ahead of her.



Very rarely I listen to an album in its entirety and enjoy every song as much as the last. To compare Paramore to No Doubt is ridiculous, No Doubt are of a completely different genre of music to Paramore and let me say Paramore are much better.



If you were to compare Paramore to a popular female musician the only one that could come close to comparing to Hayley Williams would be Avril Lavigne. Although I wouldn't expect Hayley Williams to sell out to the pop princess image. Long may Paramore have a very successful and prestigious career and this album is an excellent stepping stone to greatness.

The Magic School Bus - Butterflies!



The Magic School Bus - Butterflies!
This episode of the popular science series for kids explores the many remarkable traits of butterflies. Mrs. Frizzle's (Lily Tomlin) class needs a new mascot--fast! There's a soccer game on this afternoon, and they rack their brains for an appropriate name--something that's "exciting and different." When Phoebe suggests they call their team the "Butterflies," everybody thinks it's a silly idea. So Ms. Frizzle takes them to the swamp in search of the mysterious "Bog Beast." But things take a strange twist when Mrs. Frizzle's Port-a-shrinker reduces the kids to bug size. They learn to appreciate the many wonderful traits of butterflies, as they watch them trick, scare, and surprise predators up close. When the bus itself grows wings, the kids must camouflage it and fly like a real butterfly to escape detection. By the end of their adventure, the class agrees that butterflies are more than just pretty! --Elisabeth Keating

Customer Review: Amazing!!

Customer Review: My Kid's LOVE this game!

This game is great! Both my 2 (almost 3 year old) and my 5 1/2 year old sons LOVE this game and they can both do it. They often feud over this one and we have had to resort to major turn taking over this game. It is great as it teaches lots of cool stuff, plus they can really enjoy just being goofy and creative making all sorts of different creatures! This game is #1 at our house!

Customer Review: It's Ok.

It's nothing special - my 5 y.o played it for a day or so and then put it aside for good. The game may be of certain interest for younger kids, perhaps, 4 y.o. Graphics are pretty much standard and of a good quality.

Customer Review: Worth every penny

I wanted to take a course in QB, but I could not afford several hundred dollars, so, I did some research on training aids and found this to be the best bang for my buck and no gimmicks. I have never used QB and being new to bookkeeping in general, I found this to be easy to comprehend and follow (with or without a full-running copy to follow along with).



It covers the basics of accounting principles and the basic functions (common tasks) of QB. In my case, this was all I needed to apply for a job which required QB...



I am satisfied.

Riot!



Riot!
After gaining hordes of enthusiastic fans worldwide with their debut All We Know Is Falling, Paramore is poised to breakthrough to new heights with their newest offering Riot! Their sophomore record, produced by David Bendeth (Hawthorne Heights, Red Jumpsuit Apparatus) is due in stores everywhere June 12th. Lead single Misery Business, in addition to other album tracks, deals with issues of shame and self-discovery as lead-singer Hayley Williams discusses. I've been ashamed, she says. I've felt hate, jealously, lust, fear, pride, self-consciousness... You hear a lot of this on the record. I feel like I need to talk about it. It is not uncommon for Paramore to expose their emotions and allow fans to have such an intimate look into their lives. While recording the track Born For This, the band invited a handful of fans into the studio to sing back-up vocals on the song. Fans have responded by voting Paramore as the #1 Best New Band in Kerrang! magazine, beating out Panic! at the Disco among others, and Alternative Press magazine has named Riot! as one of their most anticipated releases of 2007. Brothers Josh and Zac Farro (on guitar and drums respectively), as well as Jeremy Davis (on bass), round out the enthusiastic Franklin, TN based quartet. This year finds the band bringing their energetic live show to fans in cities worldwide. This spring the band will embark on a 20+ date sold-out headlining club tour, including the now-legendary Bamboozle festival. Following a stint on the European club circuit, the band will return to the States this summer with a coveted main stage slot on the Vans Warped Tour.

Customer Review: More Paramore, Please

I bought Riot! about three weeks ago and have listened to it almost every day, if not every day! My introduction to Paramore was by my eleven year old daughter on MTV.com. CrushCrushCrush immediately caught my attention and I've been hooked on their songs since then. The maturity and power of 19 year old Hayley's voice is staggering and the guys in the band play as performers much older and more seasoned than 17,20 and 22.



Emergency is the second song that snagged me and the video is done really well. These four musical artists also look like their having alot of fun when performing live or just doing a video for TV. I don't own 'All We Know Is Falling', but I plan to buy it soon mainly because of 'Emergency'.



Given the opportunity and with the right management Paramore should be around for many years to come. Keep it up, guys(and gal)!

Customer Review: Enthralling, Energetic Rock Gold

Having never heard any of Paramore's music and being constantly baraged by a friend to get this album and give them a try I took the leap. There's only one thing to say when referring to this album and the band altogether, they're the future of rock music and Hayley Williams has a bright future ahead of her.



Very rarely I listen to an album in its entirety and enjoy every song as much as the last. To compare Paramore to No Doubt is ridiculous, No Doubt are of a completely different genre of music to Paramore and let me say Paramore are much better.



If you were to compare Paramore to a popular female musician the only one that could come close to comparing to Hayley Williams would be Avril Lavigne. Although I wouldn't expect Hayley Williams to sell out to the pop princess image. Long may Paramore have a very successful and prestigious career and this album is an excellent stepping stone to greatness.
