| 1025. Suzuki Violin School: Violin Part, vol. 1 | |
|
by: Shinichi Suzuki Amazon.com's Price: $6.95 Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description If your child is beginning violin these books and cds may well be part of the curicculum. I'm a bit older and decided to teach myself violin after dabbling a little with fiddle music. The first 3 books of this series really give you a great foundation and contain some great pieces to play. They are challanging enough but it's at book 4 that things start to get more intermediate with the Bach double concerto for instance. Having the cds is invaluable and they also contain just the accompanyment so you can ... Read More Read Reviews and Description

| 1026. Fifty Easy Classical Guitar Solos (Classical Guitar) | |
|
by: Jerry Willard List Price: $17.95 Amazon.com's Price: $12.57 You Save: $5.38 (30%) Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description I started playing classical guitar a little over a year ago and purchased this book to break up practicing excecises and scales with something that actually sounds like music. I thought this book did just what I wanted. The book starts out with easy songs and gradually builds but all of the songs are fairly easy. Only a few have fingering in upper positions but does include hammer on's and pull-offs. Some of the chords have been simplified for less experienced fingers. The CD is good in allowing ...

| 1027. Best Enemies (HELLER, JANE) | |
|
by: Jane Heller List Price: $24.95 Amazon.com's Price: $16.97 You Save: $7.98 (32%) Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description I think it has taken me longer to contemplate the review of this book than it took to read. It's without a doubt, a breezy read--good summer fare that is mindless and juicy. And in some cases, especially with the voice of the main character, Amy, very funny. But . . . there's something about it that bothered me. The characters, particularly the satellite characters, are banal (the gay assistant, the well-heeled boss, the fast-talking editor--even the stud-muffin mystery writer), and the plot is contrived ...

| 1028. The Complete Idiot's Guide to Chess (2nd Edition) | |
|
by: Patrick Wolff List Price: $16.95 Amazon.com's Price: $11.87 You Save: $5.08 (30%) Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description I'm not a real big fan of the "Idiot" concept because most of the books in the Idiot genre I have read are written for an audience of idiots! But this book does a pretty good job of just teaching you about chess, without all of the non-sensical humor other Idiot books have, which I guess is supposed to make you fell less intimidated by the subject matter. At any rate, this book will take your game to the next level. If you are like me and are only vaguely familiar with the rudiments of chess and ... Read More Read Reviews and Description

| 1029. The Bedford Introduction to Drama | |
|
by: Lee A. Jacobus Amazon.com's Price: $81.65 Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description The Bedford Introduction To Drama, in its Fourth edition, has a number of virtues. Much of the selection is good, the illustrations are good and often helpful, and the introductions to each period and to individual plays are often very good. Of course, some of them are predictable: it would be nice to see some exciting Strindberg for a change; Miss Julie is really getting weary. However, it is when when we reach the second half of the Twentieth century that the quality breaks down. We find the same tired list of plays chosen ... Read More Read Reviews and Description

| 1030. The Rolling Stone Encyclopedia of Rock & Roll (Revised and Updated for the 21st Century) | |
|
by: Holly George-Warren, Patricia Romanowski, Jon Pareles List Price: $27.00 Amazon.com's Price: $18.36 You Save: $8.64 (32%) Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description I remember a book from 1993 or so that RS put out called THE ROLLING STONE ENCYCLOPEDIA OF R & R, or something similar. That book was the most valuable resource to anyone buying music period. Unfortunately, this (revised?=simplified=cheap-o) edition misses a lot of minor artists. This can be expected by any book bearing the Rolling Stone moniker; the magazine has pretty much irrelevant since grunge died, hasn't it. The most glaring omission, however, is the lack of individual album reviews. The previous book included ... Read More Read Reviews and Description
