A must to read........
I felt I was there with him. I was eating the food and drinking the cold buttermilk. I could hear the heavy breathing of the mules going up the mountains of eastern Kentucky. This is a simple and straight look at a true and honest man, who taught himself and those around him that you choose your path in life. His seemed to be rewarded with an abundance of love.

I am only Half of the way thru this book so far, but this is INCREDIBLE. Its actually giving me a head ache, how much information this guy has crammed into his book. The graphics, illustrations and photos are all excellent, and even the cartoons (which I normally HATE) are good. It helps that the chick is kinda cute!

Every chapter gives you a "blueprint" of what you need to know about that specific part of movie-making. Sound, camera, make-up, music, setting up a company, editing, casting, it's all there. There's even a chapter on catering which includes recipes for film crews, it's brilliant. Another good thing is that the writing is laugh-out-loud funny sometimes, you can really tell that this guy has been thru the mill when it comes to making no-budget movies. This book is a breath of fresh air. If you don't believe me, go to a book store and flick through it. If you walk out without buying it, I'll be amazed.

This is a really useful book for design engineers who need something more than just data sheet information on compounded plastic materials. It gives both the pluses and the minuses, so that it is not hype.

This is a thorough treatment of London architecture, covering not only iconic landmarks like Buckingham Palace (although they're here too), but as well, buildings from all eras across Greater London. Post-WWII architecture is surprisingly well represented. The region is divided into a grid of 24 squares, each of which is illustrated with a detailed map (except outlying areas), and this grid is used for organizing the book into chapters. In all, over 900 buildings are included, each with a 2 inch x 2 inch photo and a description of three or four sentences. Floor plans are shown for each of Wren's churches and for a handful of other buildings. Appendices have maps showing 'The Great Estates,' London squares in chronological order, and 'The Inns of Court.'

Although Excel 2000 is currently out, I still find this book a valuable asset in helping me decipher Excel. The author is funny and gives great tips. He doesn't dumb it up, though. The book is well organized and I found the examples helpful and represenative of trying to solve problems in the real world. If you are trying to learn Excel for the first time, this is your book.

A really good read if you love to read about magic! This book has a two cups of magic, one cup of fealings, half a cup of sadness, one cup of happiness, three table spoons of romance and a three quaters of a cup of mystery! I love this book and recomend that you read this book.

THE GUMDROP GHOST was a really good book. If you want to find out what happens to Nancy when all her friends think that the talent show winner is a ghost, and read about how they go into a supposedly haunted house, read THE GUMDROP GHOST.

HJ Watson not only does exceptional research into time-period westerns, but also relates the tale in such a way as to bring the reader into the psychological space that we read westerns for. Along with her other title, "Gunsmoke in Kansas," Watson thrills the audience with a slice of genuine Americana.

Kelley Jones should have gotten more recognition for his work in the wonderful world of Cthuluian lore. Here we have yet another adaptation of H.P.'s brainchild being meshed into popular culture, and Kelley doesn't simply give you yet another boring take we've seen a million times over. Anyone who likes their monsters loathsome, their heroes a bit deranged, and their works of art Lovecraftian will enjoy this. Even if you just like the horror take, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised by what Jones brings to the table.
