These are perfect for the gym. Soft, smooth, especially lightweight, cool, yet cover a lot of imperfections that you don’t want showing to everyone at a public gym. I really really like these and I plan to continue using these for years to come.

Library Risk Game Set
Price: $19.99
Customer Review: Conquer the game board!
For decades, Risk has been one of the best games around, and certainly in my top 3. The goal is simple: get your troops set up, go out and conquer the game board! To beat your opponent(s), you must roll dice. If your number (or numbers) is/are higher, you win. Will the dice be favorable? Or will the defender ward off your attacks, leaving your troops in the dust? Risk is certainly one of the most exciting games out there. And it’s lots of fun. The board is made up of the world (kids, don’t use this as a geographical model) divided into about 42 different territories. Lines link some territories from one continent to another, or from one island to the mainland. Thus, different territories are more valuable than others. The game-play is simple: as long as you have two or more troops stationed in a territory, you can attack a territory next to it. The more troops, the more complicated the game gets. You roll up to three die, depending on how many troops you have stationed in one area. Be careful (and lucky!), because if you lose a skirmish, one or more of your troops will die. Strategy takes the upper hand here, but luck is very important when rolling the dice (great combination: luck and strategy). Where will you put your armies? Will you fortify numerous territories, or will you group them up in one area, hoping to exterminate your opponents’ weaker territories that are surrounding you? Which territories are more valuable for your campaign? These questions are just some of the problems Risk-takers will face. And now for the game contents. The Library Edition does justice to this classic. The board looks just as it might have when the game came out. The cards are nicely made, the pieces are nice (hey, they’re only wooden blocks), and you get 6 dice, three white dice and three red dice. Beautiful edition fitted into one fairly small package. Definitely worth your money.
Customer Review: It fits on my shelf and doesn’t embarass me
So, I have a lot of games. As these games age, and other games are placed on top of them they crush the boxes of the games below them. Corners crack, tape is added, tape dries out and the boxes become disgusting to look at and drag out. This series of attractive wooden boxes is different. Like a nice leather bound collector’s edition it fits on the shelf, holds all of the pieces and goes back in place compact and safe. I have to think a carpenter was the first to come up with the idea for these relatively speaking classics. While the board’s fold up is the biggest issue I have with it, this is Risk and no childhood should be without it.

Isle of Lewis Chess Set and Chess Board
This is an exact replica of the chess set Harry Potter played on in the movie Harry Potter and The Sorcerer’s Stone. The Isle of Lewis chess set is produced in Britain. The Isle of Lewis chess set is a faithful reproduction of the earliest known European chess set and is a genuine replica of the world famous Isle of Lewis chess pieces on display in the British Museum. Because of the direct involvement of the British Museum in developing the molds for these chessmen, this is the closest reproduction of the historic Lewis chessmen available today. Originally discovered on the Isle of Lewis around 1170, they are of Scandinavian origin. The light colored chess pieces have an antique ivory finish. This set is made from a composite of crushed stone and resin, which makes for the look and feel of stone, while exhibiting the durability of a composite. Get FREE a ChessCentral green and buff vinyl chess board that is a perfect fit for the unique Isle of Lewis chess set.

Customer Review: This is the REAL Harry Potter Chess Set
I am a big fan of Harry Potter as well as chess. Imagine my delight at finding the exact set Harry Potter plays on in the Sorceror’s Stone movie. This set is called the Isle of Lewis and has a marvelous history of its own. A truly magical set!

The Chess Box
For the completist, this three-CD, 72-song box remains the definitive collection of one of the leading lights of Chicago blues. The collection spans 25 years, beginning with rare early recordings with pianist Sunnyland Slim and moving through Waters’s peak ’50s period, which offered the legendary support of Jimmy Rogers, Little Walter, and Otis Spann. Luminaries including Pat Hare, James Cotton, Earl Hooker, Buddy Guy, and Pinetop Perkins all make valuable contributions to his ’60s work. Along with his original hits and his noteworthy Willie Dixon interpretations, Chess wisely includes his lesser-known covers of Big Bill Broonzy, Howlin’ Wolf, Guitar Slim, Jimmy Reed, John Lee Hooker, and Sonny Boy Williamson. –Marc Greilsamer

Customer Review: Great Compilation, but not the best versions of the songs
I love all these songs. The only problem I have is, there are recordings of these songs that are much longer. Mannish boy, Long distance call, Got my mojo working, She’s 19 Years old, and many others have versions where the song is over 5 minutes. Unfortanately, these are all short versions.
Customer Review: There are simply not enough stars…….
McKinley Morganfield was born in Mississippi in 1913. He was given the name of Muddy Waters by his grandmother at an early age. Muddy Waters was one of the Blues musicians who was deftly able to make the transition from the cotton field, delta, acoustic blues, to the electric sound which has remained with us since. He not only made the transition, but set an example for others. Disc one of the box set covers the period 1947-1954. Disc two covers the hits of the 1950’s, many of which inspired English rockers who were preparing to hit the shores. And Disc three covers the latter period from 1960 through 1972. It should be noted that there are recordings before and after the time periods on this box, and as such, this box set could not be termed “all inclusive”. Not covered are the very early years of Muddy’s singing, as covered by The Complete Plantation Recordings. And the Blue Sky recordings (I’m Ready; Hard Again; King Bee) of the 1980’s cover the latter part of his career. This box set covers the meaty, main portion of his career and are definitely the set to get if you are going to get just one for your collection. The book that comes with this 3-CD set also gives a very nice overview of Muddy’s life and career, something that the mp3 downloads cannot do. Muddy Waters was one of the most influential blues singers of all time and influenced generations of singers who came after him. If you plan on getting only one collection of Muddy Waters, I would strongly recommend this 3-CD set. You can now buy the songs individually through Amazon, but it is strongly recommended to buy the box set en total. They get no bluer than this. Muddy was, and is, the real deal. Highly recommended. 5 Stars.
