1) Hardcover Book The Y2K Personal Survival Guide by Regnery Publishing, Inc.. If this book wasn´t available, would any of us have made it? I mean, there we were, crouched in the basement, with the wood purifier humming next to us, and this book in hand when the world didn´t quite end on January 1st, 2000, or again on January 1st, 2001. What better recommendation can there be?¤

2) Hardcover Book The Y2K Personal Survival Guide by Regnery Publishing, Inc.. After the big Y2K threat became a "non-event" I almost threw this book on the trash heap. Then I realized that it could well be a collector´s item one day. There is some sound advice for dealing with natural disasters, planning for record storage,and general common sense practices that are still worth taking a look at now that we are not in a panic mode. Can you imagine if you found a book in your attic entitled "How to Survive the Coming Great Depression" that had belonged to your great grandparents? It would be priceless. This is going into my attic for my grandchildren to dig out someday.¤

3) Hardcover Book The Y2K Personal Survival Guide by Regnery Publishing, Inc.. Hysteria and a dose of air time on CSPAN has made Mr. Hyatt the prophet of doom for the great un-happening of the millenium! Imagine all those people hunkered down on New Year´s Eve expecting planes to drop out of the sky and ATMs to die, and you have the makings of a great parody. Hyatt´s next big project is going to have intergalatic consequences to match the sales rate of this book. The scenarios greatly underestimated the strength of the global infrastructure and painted an alarmist view. I only hope Mike Hyatt stays true to his chapters on Christianity and tithes the loyalties from this alarmist book so the truly deplorable aspects of U.S. society such as undernourished children and the low education level in the "have not" states is at least impacted by this book. In the end if Mr. Hyatt really wants to make a difference in the U.S. write on the digital divide and use CSPAN time to change the priorities for the 3rd world poverty pockets we have here in the U.S.¤

4) Hardcover Book The Y2K Personal Survival Guide by Regnery Publishing, Inc.. This book is absolutely hilarious! I don´t know whether Hyatt really intended to write a parody, but nonetheless he succeeded brilliantly in doing so.¤

5) Hardcover Book The Y2K Personal Survival Guide by Regnery Publishing, Inc.. Mr. Hyatt provides great insight into his view of the Y2K crisis. Being involved and talking to people in the tech field I feel that the crisis is not as dramatic as it is being brought out. Mr. Hyatt put in great effort in research and correspondence before putting his thoughts and opinions into print. I feel that it is important to keep hard copy documentation on contracts and statements which is stated in his book but I do feel like he is going to extremes in stating that we need to learn survivalist techniques. Also how could we possibly learn and buy everything we need to survive the crisis in span of a few short months. Anyway the book is very interesting even though I think it is a little dramatic.¤

6) Hardcover Book The Y2K Personal Survival Guide by Regnery Publishing, Inc.. Most consumers are quickly becoming aware of what the millennium bug is and how it threatens their way of life. With increasing press coverage--most of it negative--many are becoming worried. Some are panicking. Unfortunately, consumers have very little influence over whether or not government agencies, infrastructure providers, or businesses get their computers repaired in time. However, this does not mean they have to become victims. It does mean that they have to become proactive and engage in personal contingency planning. This book shows them how, one step at a time.¤

7) Hardcover Book The Y2K Personal Survival Guide by Regnery Publishing, Inc.. "When the clock strikes midnight on December 31, 1999, will you be ready?" Michael S. Hyatt believes that when the millennium comes, it´s going to pack a wallop. He detailed the specifics of the Y2K computer problem in his bestselling book The Millennium Bug, which stirred up tremendous attention and discussion from people wondering how bad it´s really going to be. To address this issue, The Y2K Personal Survival Guide offers contingency plans for whether the effects of Y2K last three days or a year. Organized in five sections: Information, Supplies, Shelter, Money, and Protection, the Survival Guide offers resource suggestions and tips on everything from how to rotate canned goods and stockpile food to securing an alternative source of heat. Much of this information would be helpful during any winter storm, but Hyatt is convinced that we are in for a major change of lifestyle, and his suggestions also include which items will be useful as barter fare once the monetary system has collapsed. Hyatt is serious about preparing people for the worst, even if it never comes to pass. Extremism aside, The Y2K Personal Survival Guide has plenty of helpful checklists and appendices, like "Where to Stash Your Cash and Other Valuables," to help you feel prepared for whatever the new year might bring. --Jodie Buller¤
