| 1112. The Playwright's Guidebook: An Insightful Primer on the Art of Dramatic Writing | |
|
by: Stuart Spencer List Price: $16.00 Amazon.com's Price: $11.20 You Save: $4.80 (30%) Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description Most people won't listen to advice until they're good and ready. I had "The Playwright's Guidebook" in my office for over a year. When I finally read it, either I was good and ready to hear what Mr. Spencer had to say or what he said made a lot of sense. (Basically it was both.) I've read Syd Field and taken McKee's course on Story Structure, yet I found this book to be of greater value. Why? Because Mr. Spencer doesn't lay down directives (as is common with most how-to books). Instead, he ... Read More Read Reviews and Description

by: Charles L. Granata List Price: $15.95 Amazon.com's Price: $11.17 You Save: $4.78 (30%) Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description I loved this book! I have been a PET SOUNDS diehard for six years now and nothing I've read on the album so far has answered all the questions I had. This book does that and more. He explains why this album was so brilliant. He explains wonderfully the collaboration process between Brian Wilson and Tony Asher. He gives a pre-Pet Sounds examination of the Beach Boys catalog to show how Brian grew artistically as well as a post-Pet Sounds examination of Brian's random spouts of greatness. This book has everything ... Read More Pet Sounds (The Vinyl Frontier series)" border="0" hspace="2">Pet Sounds (The Vinyl Frontier series)">Read Reviews and Description

| 1114. A Hard Day's Write: The Stories Behind Every Beatles Song | |
|
by: Steve Turner List Price: $25.00 Amazon.com's Price: $17.00 You Save: $8.00 (32%) Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description Steve Turner gives the background story behind every Beatles song on all their officially released albums up to Abbey Road. Other books make the same claim, but this one's the best! To me, the most fascinating entries are about John's autobiographical songs, such as 'In My Life' and 'Strawberry Fields Forever.' The story behind 'A Day In the Life' is riveting and is partly based on a personal tragedy for Paul. Find out what John's inspiration was for 'Tomorrow Never Knows.' Does Dr. Robert really ...

| 1116. Ultimate Alien Anthology (Star Wars Roleplaying Game) | |
|
by: Eric Cagle, Michael Mikaelian, Steve Miller, Owen K. C. Stephens List Price: $34.95 Amazon.com's Price: $23.77 You Save: $11.18 (32%) Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description So far I have just about every release of the new D20 based Star Wars role playing game from Wizards of the Coast (with the exception of the GM screen and character sheets, that is.)- I figured since it was such a welcome departure from the lousy and unheroic WEG game engine that it deserved my attention. And being a complete salivating Star Wars fanatic didn't hurt either. Now, Wizards obviously has a different publishing philosophy than West End Games does, and that's a shame. WEG had excellent source material- I always use ... Read More Read Reviews and Description

| 1117. Take Them at Their Words: Shocking, Amusing and Baffling Quotations from the Gop and Their Friends, 1994-2004 | |

by: Bruce J. Miller, Diana Maio, Sidney Blumenthal, Mike Lockovich List Price: $15.95 Amazon.com's Price: $11.17 You Save: $4.78 (30%) Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description Here in one handy book are many of the outrageous things you thought you'd heard conservative extremists say, arranged in chapters by topic (education, judiciary, the Clintons, etc.) and indexed by name at the back of the book. There are over 350 pages of quotes here (in standard typeface) and I bet it would be easy to put together another volume. Quotes range from a sentence to a page, and give the context of the utterance. As one might expect, George W., Ann Coulter, Tom Delay, Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh, Newt and Rummy figure largely, ...

|
by: Al Seckel List Price: $24.95 Amazon.com's Price: $17.46 You Save: $7.49 (30%) Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description This book has hundreds of drawings and photographs that trick the eye in one way or another (color, perspective, hidden pictures, illusions of movement, etc). After every 20 pages or so there is a page that has a one or two sentence blurb giving background information or commentary on each illusion. My kids (ages 5 and 7) love looking through this book, and it's a great mental exercise for them, pondering how the effects are achieved and discovering what exactly the illusion is that's presented on each page. Note however, that ... Read More Read Reviews and Description

| 1119. Faiths and Pantheons (Dungeons & Dragons: Forgotten Realms, Campaign Accessory) | |
|
by: Eric Boyd, Erik Mona List Price: $32.95 Amazon.com's Price: $22.41 You Save: $10.54 (32%) Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description As with most of the hardcover Forgotten Realms sourcebooks, Faiths and Pantheons isn't necessary to play the game. The major deities of Faerun are given short but thorough introductions in the FR Campaign Setting, and these will suffice for all but the most picky DMs and players. That said, if you ARE the most picky, and want some obscure but interesting deity as your patron, then this sourcebook will provide everything you require. One of the interesting things about the Realms is that the gods are killable entities, though it would take a godly ... Read More Read Reviews and Description

by: Shel Silverstein List Price: $12.00 Amazon.com's Price: $9.60 You Save: $2.40 (20%) Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description I read this book over and over from the time I was six years old. (Yes, six. Under my mom's supervision. And, yes, I got the joke.) Who knew dear Uncle Shelby could be so twisted? It's a hilarious read for adults, older children, and mature-for-their-age younger children. If you have a rather dark sense of humor, you'll almost certainly enjoy this book. Read Reviews and Description
