by: Lisa Arbetter List Price: $27.95 Amazon.com's Price: $19.56 You Save: $8.39 (30%) Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description I re-arranged my entire closet based on this book's advice and took (most of) the drama out of getting dressed in the morning. I used the figure flattery charts and finally figured out what works for my body type, and more importantly, what DOESN'T work for me. I cleared out a lot of stuff that only served to make my small closet crammed, and now, when I open those closet doors, I see options that I actually like. And I feel like I'm going to be a much smarter shopper in the future. The celeb pictures ... Read More  Read Reviews and Description

| 142. Setting Up Your Shots: Great Camera Moves Every Filmmaker Should Know | |
|
by: Jeremy Vineyard, Jose Cruz List Price: $19.95 Amazon.com's Price: $13.97 You Save: $5.98 (30%) Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description This book is intended for new filmmakers, film buffs and as reference for experienced filmmakers. It introduces the reader to many types of shots and opens one's eyes to many possibilities. Unfortunately, it seems that the negative reviews about this book are centered around it being too simplistic or basic. I believe those reviewers did not understand the intent behind this book and missed the point entirely. I think all subjects should start with the very basics and describe what the goal is first, then one ... Read More Read Reviews and Description

| 143. The Sweet Potato Queens' Big-Ass Cookbook (and Financial Planner) | |
|
by: Jill Conner Browne List Price: $13.95 Amazon.com's Price: $11.16 You Save: $2.79 (20%) Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description Jill Conner Browne's Sweet Potato Queen reigns! In this combo cookbook and financial planner, we're treated to more of her insouciant, sassy fun. Martha Stewart clones need not open this book, as it's filled with buttery, cholesterol cloggin', great-tasting recipes using lots of bacon, boxes of mixes and processed food, like Miracle Whip and jello. Browne's common sense and hard-won wisdom enliven and inform each chapter, along with the antics of the Tammys and their men and kids. She's the madcap friend ...

| 144. Broken Music: A Memoir | |
|
by: Sting List Price: $26.00 Amazon.com's Price: $17.68 You Save: $8.32 (32%) Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description I do not follow Sting's career as a fan although I think he is a fascinating person. His ideas on love and romance are admirable. I read this book purely out of curiosity. I saw it mentioned on a television show. Let me start by saying that Sting can actually write. This is not a mindless book of senseless drivel. This is not a typical autobiography. Sting has quite a memory. I can barely remember what happened yesterday. He incorporates in great detail the many specific good and bad adventures of his childhood and young adulthood, ... Read More Read Reviews and Description

| 145. Blueprint for Disaster: A Get Fuzzy Collection | |
|
by: Darby Conley List Price: $10.95 Amazon.com's Price: $8.76 You Save: $2.19 (20%) Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description I have every book Mr. Conley has written about these three wonderful, hilarious characters. They have all brought a great deal of laughter and enjoyment into my life. I am an avid cat person, so I must say that Bucky Katt is my favorite character. But Rob and Sactchel hold their own against the rather tempremental and sometimes mean Bucky. For me, this is the best comic strip going these days. I have two cats, and I see some of Bucky's behavior in each of them. I anxiously await the next book of adventures from these three lovable guys. Read Reviews and Description

| 146. The Original Rider Waite Tarot Pack | |
|
by: A.E. Waite List Price: $20.00 Amazon.com's Price: $14.00 You Save: $6.00 (30%) Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description The Rider-Waite-Smith is a classic deck, the most popular of all Tarots, and the de facto standard in the English-speaking world. This particular printing is rather interesting. Apparently, an attempt was made to faithfully reproduce one of the early decks made from the original plates. The most notable consequence is in the color rendition: these cards have a distinctly yellow-tan cast compared with other widely available printings. Whether this is good or bad, I suppose, is a matter of personal preference. It certainly gives the cards a ... Read More Read Reviews and Description

| 147. How Not to Write a Screenplay: 101 Common Mistakes Most Screenwriters Make | |
|
by: Denny Martin Flinn List Price: $16.95 Amazon.com's Price: $11.87 You Save: $5.08 (30%) Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description HOW NOT TO WRITE A SCREENPLAY has the best format advice of any screenwriting book out there. For formatting instruction, augment it with David Trottier's THE SCREENWRITER'S BIBLE and Paul Argentini's ELEMENTS OF STYLE FOR SCREENWRITERS. My only desire is to see Denny Flynn expand the book in the second edition to include even more screenplay examples from different kinds of scripts, emphasizing not only screenwriting format, but also alternative structures, e.g. non-linear scripts. It's hard to critique a book that is so good. The content ... Read More Read Reviews and Description

| 148. Hollywood Animal : A Memoir | |
|
by: JOE ESZTERHAS List Price: $26.95 Amazon.com's Price: $18.33 You Save: $8.62 (32%) Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description This is a great book for anyone who loves frank tales about Hollywood and its creatures. It's 736 pages long but a very fast read, full of anecdotes and interwoven story lines. One thing that I look for in an autobiography is the personality of the author pulsing through the words on the page. Sometimes this means that the author doesn't come off too well --read Joan Rivers' autobiography for a particularly unpleasant example -- but it makes for a much more involving read. Joe's personality roars off the page. Joe Eszterhas' ... Read More Read Reviews and Description

by: Dan Birlew List Price: $15.99 Amazon.com's Price: $11.19 You Save: $4.80 (30%) Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description We (my husband & I) suspect strategy guide publishers just don't care. Time after time we have used strategy guides from Brady Games and Prima Games, and, each time, found dozens of mistakes - some of them very crucial. This guide is no exception. Unfortunately, it's the only option if you want a printed guide, so either you buy this one, or you have to work with what's available online (which is often faulty as well). All we ask is that somebody who works for these publishers use the guide to play through the game before it goes to press, ... Read More Read Reviews and Description

by: Bob Katz Amazon.com's Price: $39.99 Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description and a deeper respect for mastering engineers then READ THIS BOOK. this book walks you through the disecting audio to different types of audio. it takes you from handing over your mix to the mastering engineer to what it's going to sound like once it hits the shelf. it's not really a "how to" book. it's a "why you need a qualified mastering engineer" book. don't think you're going to master like bob by the time you read this book.... honestly to really understand what's going on you're probably going to have to read the book more than once. it's a deep book, ...
