Book Description
This follow-up to the highly successful Blitz Cartooning Kit (more than 250,000 units sold) teaches the basics of cartooning in a completely innovative way thanks to the exciting new Blitz Re-Tooner. In addition to traditional drawing exercises and games, the kit allows any fledgling cartoonist to create original drawings on a clever wipe-away surface that packs neatly away. Blitz's 56-page book presents page-by-page projects that are done with the Re-Tooner--a plastic box set at an incline by risers on the bottom for ease and comfort in drawing. The user slides one of 50 Re-Tooner sheets beneath the clear plastic surface, which can be drawn on and wiped clean again and again. The Re-Tooner sheets feature partial illustrations and guidelines for learning a particular lesson that's detailed and cross-referenced. BLITZ ULTIMATE CARTOONING KIT comes with the instruction book, Re-Tooner, two black markers, one wipe-away cloth, and 50 Re-Tooner sheets.Customer Reviews:

The Whole Enchilada: A Spicy Collection of Sylvia's Best

ASIN: 0312877579 |
Amazon.com
If you know a bitter, cigarette-smoking, coffee-drinking woman, then you will be in familiar company with Nicole Hollander's comics character, Sylvia. Hollander's drawing style is sharp and abrasive, much like her humor. Sections include "Some Well-meant Advice," "My Cats Tried to Drive Me Insane," "Meaningful Relationships," "Let's Not Discuss My Body," "Working Woman," and "At the Bar."Book Description
Part of an interview conducted by Larry McDonald, Sebastopol (CA) Times amp; NewsMcDonald: You seem to take special pleasure in making fun of men whose names begin with "R" (Rocky, Rambo, Ronald Reagan). Is there a reason?Sylvia: It does seem more than coincidental that many powerful, less than bright men have names beginning with "R". Perhaps an alphabetologist could explain it, or maybe a phrenologist, or a pharmacist.There are only three other famous women who share the intensity of your passion of hats, and they're all members of the British Royal Family. Do you have a secret desire to wear a crown? If not, what else do you have in common with Liz, Di, and the Queen Mum?I believe my passion for hats is closer to Louella Parsons, Bea Lillie and Minnie Pearl's. As to what I have in common with Liz, Di, and the Queen Mother, I think it can be fairly said that we all look great in shorts.You're obviously urban. Have you ever spent time in a less pressured environment, like a farm, or California?I can only live where I can use my Jewel Food Stores check-cashing card, but I think I was on Melrose Avenue in L.A. once.Do you consider Phyllis Schlafly liberated?If Phyllis stayed home she'd be doing everyone but her family a favor.If tomorrow you woke up as Nancy Reagan, what would your first reaction be?Divorce.Nicole Hollander takes credit for producing your comic strip. What do you have in common, if anything?She often borrows my shoes, but her feet are somewhat larger than mine.Do you collaborate on the contents of the strip?The truth is the cat writes the strips. Nicole and I just sit around reading the National Enquirer and drinking coffee.Customer Reviews:

Message from a dead girl...
It's too late to call back. Jenny will never speak to Liza again. But it seems that even from beyond the grave, Liza is begging her sister for help....
They say it's a serial killer. Is it? Jenny can't afford to trust anyone. Now she's here, in Wisteria, anonymously registered at the Chase College theater camp where her sister died. The daughter of a famous theatrical family, Jenny distrusts actors, loathes acting. Yet here in the college's darkened theatre, Liza seems to be speaking to her. Suddenly Jenny is mouthing Liza's last lines, sharing Liza's last days, a drama starring Brian, the stage manager, who seems to follow her everywhere...dangerously attractive Mike...Paul, who was obsessed with Liza...motherly, suffocating assistant director Maggie...and Walker, the director, bristling with hostility and resentment against Liza and Jenny's famous father. Does he suspect Jenny's true identity?
How can anyone know the visions that may be driving Jenny straight into the killer's arms?

No Time to Die:: Living with Ovarian Cancer
Liz Tilberis Manufacturer: Harper Paperbacks ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items:
ASIN: 0380732262 |
Book Description
In 1993 Liz Tilberis seemed to have it all. She was a working mother with a family who adored her. As editor-in-chief of Harper's Bazzar, she lived at the center of the glamorous world of international fashion and was widely recognized as one of the most powerful people in the industry. And in 1993, Liz Tilberis was diagnosed with Stage III ovarian cancer.Suddenly she was faced with the challenge of a lifetime, joining the ranks of the 175,000 women in America with Ovarian cancer. She underwent major surgery, grueling chemothereapy, and, eventually, when the cancer recurred, a life-threatening bone marrow transplant. Through it all she refused to let the disease get the better of her, continuing to participate fully in her life as wife, mother, and career woman. And she eduacted herself about the disease that threatened her life. Ultimately, Tilberis concluded that she developed ovarian cancer as a result of infertility treatments she underwent years earlier--a link that the medical establishment has been reluctant to aknowledge. Her experience led Tilberis to become president of the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund and to address countless issues surrounding the devastating disease.
From diagnosis through recovery and recurrence, and on to a rich, rewarding, transformed life, No Time to Die is a frank, no-holds-barred look into the world of fashion and a candid account of a battle with a debilitating illness. Approaching every obstacle with optimism, humor and grace, Liz Tilberis has written a story that celebrates life and the ultimate triumph of a passionate, determined, and courageous woman.

Liz Tilberis Manufacturer: Little, Brown and Company ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 0316776742 |

Liz Tilberis, the editor in chief of Harper's Bazaar magazine, was at the pinnacle of her career when diagnosed with ovarian cancer, one of the disease's deadliest forms. ("When ovarian cancer is detected early, the cure rate is high: at least a 90 percent five-year survival rate for Stage I diagnosis. At Stage IV, they tell you to go home and get your affairs in order," she writes.) In 1993, the day after holding a gala holiday dinner for the likes of Ralph Lauren and Donna Karan, Tilberis underwent exploratory surgery that revealed her cancer was at Stage III. Since then, she has survived three recurrences, massive doses of chemotherapy, and a bone marrow transplant.Tilberis's book is notable not only for the sanguine humor which she injects throughout, but also for her honesty regarding what she suspects was the cause of her cancer: fertility treatments with the hormone-stimulating drugs Clomid and Pergonal, which she points out are still widely used. (She never conceived a child, but is the mother of two adopted sons.) Tilberis is especially cutting with her descriptions of her coworkers' chilliness and lack of empathy when she first returned to work. It seems that AIDS causes notwithstanding, the world of fashion is still incapable of admitting there is suffering in the world. Tilberis also deserves praise for confessing that her infertility is due to fallopian tube scarring from pelvic inflammatory disease--often caused by sexually transmitted diseases.
No Time to Die and Liz Tilberis are inspiring. While her cancer is in no certain way vanquished, Tilberis chooses to treat it as a chronic condition, not a killer. She's made it her mission to use her magazine platform and her position as president of the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund to raise awareness of a complicated and frightening--but possibly preventable--disease. This book is as much a tale of survival and sang-froid as it is an excoriation of the cruelties of the two-faced world of fashion.

Book Description
In 1965, the army proclaimed him a hero. Now, thirty-four years later, Walter Lewis and his wife, Karen, must face Sergei Godunov and the Murphy brothers, who claim Walter was never a hero at all. To them, he’d been a coward.
After years of tracking him, they finally catch up with Walter in Spanish Fort, Alabama. The Murphys believe that Walter ran from a vicious hand-to-hand battle, leaving their brother behind to be slaughtered. Sergei Godunov, once a Russian advisor to the Vietcong, has his own ax to grind. He blames Walter for the death of his wife and son in a Russian gulag.
Caught, Karen slips into a coma, and Walter has a heart attack. Unconscious in intensive care, they have an out-of-body experience that hurls them back in time to an adventurous past that was filled with war, lies and deceit and unlawful death. It was the time that they’d first fallen in love, too, after he’d been wounded and she’d been his nurse. They’d vowed to survive despite the odds. But Sergei Godunov and the Murphys are not interested in love or vows or odds, either back then or now. They’re in town for revenge.
