"I have thoroughly enjoyed Karen's WORLD LANDMARK book and eagerly await the U.S.LANDMARK volume. It is great to have the chronology of the books available, but it is the detailed synopsis of each book and the interesting biographies of the authors that make this resource so entertaining and informative. This manual will fuel any Landmark hunter with new energy for the hunt."

"Reading this guide is a walk through history whether or not you read each World Landmark book. Karen has done an excellent job of summarizing each title and presenting important insights. Of special significance is Karen's open and honest approach of informing parents which books might contain offensive material for their children. A must for the bookshelf of any teacher."

"At last, the comprehensive literature based guide for World History I have been waiting for! This friendly, helpful guide has not only introduced our family of varied aged students to the wonderful classics of the World Landmark Series, but allows us to really immerse ourselves in the facinating events and characters of each historical period. I have REALLY enjoyed the author's synopsis and notes for each title as well as her recommendations for further study and exploration. A homeschooler's delight! The author's book guides have been very helpful in obtaining the texts from the library and used/new book stores. My students would always rather read a fascinating biography than a traditional text book relaying historical information. This versitile guide promotes independent study/reading skills for the self-directed student or can be utilized as a read-a-loud study for multiple aged students."  (these comments taken from a review on christianbook.com)

 "This book not only gives you concise, comprehensive information about each book, but creates a hunger and a thirst to read the entire Landmark book, as well as a desire to acquire more of them for our home library. Her summaries whet the appetite to read the entire book instead of being satisfied with the "Cliff Notes" version. I loved her personal opinions because of the conversational style she used and because she imparted the importance of the information contained in the book, as well as inserting cautionary notes for homeschoolers to be aware of with the book itself or with the recommended websites. The back of the book contains valuable, time-saving information. The Charts and Lists section is well organized and extremely helpful if you want to study Landmarks in chronological order. She has included a categorical chart, which is a helpful reference if you just want to sort and study only the battles, or explorers, or rulers of the world. I will use the Checklist in the back to keep track of the books I currently own and for obtaining new ones. Price lists and the rarity scale seem invaluable to collectors. The identification guide with the full-color pictures of each book or dust jacket sparks even more interest and will be invaluable as well in my search to add to my collection. I recommend it highly as a resource as well as a tool to inspire my children to read these books."  (These comments taken from a review on Christianbook.com)
