| 1151. Touching from a Distance: Ian Curtis & Joy Division | |
|
by: Deborah Curtis Amazon.com's Price: $17.00 Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description Realistic fans of Joy Division will love this book for the intimate window it provides on a troubled but brilliant man. Silly groupie-types who prefer the doomed-angst-angel myth that has grown around Ian Curtis will be outraged, because the book portrays him as he was: a flawed human being. I suggest these kids stick with their fantasies. Reality is so much more fascinating, though. Deborah Curtis writes with great economy, fairness, and insight, and her book is a godsend to the serious alternative ... Read More  Read Reviews and Description

by: James Thurber List Price: $14.95 Amazon.com's Price: $10.47 You Save: $4.48 (30%) Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description James Thurber is undoubtably one of America's greatest writers ever. "The Thurber Carnival" is an brilliant collection of his works. I was introduced to Thurber's works two years ago,by a short story of his that was included in my English textbook. I was instantly charmed by his writing. Ever since, I have read everything of Thurber's that I can get my hands on. Through my readings, I have discovered several key things: 1. James Thurber was NOT just a humorist/satirist. Of course, I have ... Read More Read Reviews and Description

| 1154. Unapproachable East (Dungeons & Dragons: Forgotten Realms, Campaign Accessory) | |
|
by: Sean K. Reynolds, Richard Baker, Matt Forbeck List Price: $29.95 Amazon.com's Price: $20.37 You Save: $9.58 (32%) Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description I decided to write this review because I think some of the other reviewers here at Amazon have given this title short shrift. The Unapproachable East is a great place to set a Forgotten Realms adventure which is different than your typical "Medieval Western Europe" type fantasy world. Admittedly, the book is not as good as the Silver Marches supplement, but it's pretty close. One reviewer mentioned that the artwork was as good as some home-printing jobbie. I disagree. There is some artwork that is stylisticly ... Read More Read Reviews and Description

| 1156. Rock & Roll Year by Year: In Association With the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum | |
|
by: Luke Crampton, Dafydd Rees List Price: $50.00 Amazon.com's Price: $34.00 You Save: $16.00 (32%) Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description This is probably the best book of its type to date. But it is not without it's problems. The first is that both of its authors are British. Hence it skews to the right of the Atlantic. Not that I don't feel myself, that British Rock has produced some of the best acts of all time, but for instance there are more entries on and photos of Gary Glitter than Alice Cooper. Gary Glitter? This is just one example. Some one in a review here mentioned the happy inclusion of Yes. If you look through the entries for that band you'll ... Read More Read Reviews and Description

I am a craps player and I am just now beginning my attempt to become an expert like the people Frank Scoblete writes about in this book. The book was a fun read and I found it hard to put it down to go to work! The characters jump off the page at you and I felt as if I got to know them. Frank Scoblete deserves his reputation as the greatest gambling writer who ever lived. There were parts of the book that were very funny and parts were very sad. There is a whole chapter devoted to players who just ... Read More Read Reviews and Description

| 1158. Ultimate Beginning Series Bass Basics Steps One and Two Combined (The Ultimate Beginner Series) | |
|
by: Dale Titus, Albert Nigro Amazon.com's Price: $9.95 Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description If the electric bass is your first instrument this is the book for you. It teaches you technique, scales and common bass lines for ballads, country, latin and blues. It gets you started with music theory without boring you through pages of uninteresting riffs. The four step approach really got me started where you learn three different riffs (each containing a mini music theory lesson) and then put it all together. The book comes with a CD which is at times silly but of utmost importance when just starting out. I bought three books ... Read More Read Reviews and Description

by: Xavier M., Jr. Frascogna, H. Lee Hetherington List Price: $24.95 Amazon.com's Price: $16.97 You Save: $7.98 (32%) Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description During many of my seminars and workshops, people often ask me what is a good book to get on the subject of artist management. I always assume that "good" means beneficial. I also assume that it means easy to read and comprehend. This book lacks those qualities. Because the subject of artist management is so misunderstood, many books that attempt to clarify and explain the subject tend to complicate it in the process. So what is the one book should you read on artist management? As an educator and industry ... Read More Read Reviews and Description

When I saw this was featured on Amazon, I had to throw in my two cents. Read Reviews and Description
