Customer Reviews:

good book.......2006-03-23

Good book, has great examples and the definitions are not that hard to understand. Ideal for any artist or reader that is interested in ART

Great Guide to the Process of Drawing.......2005-07-19

This book is an excellent resource. It is very clear and the examples are really very helpful. If you are a beginner or an artist of years, there is very much to learn from this book. The text does offer some excercises, but it's greater strength is from the explanation of processes. The book doesn't play out as an analysis of art pieces, but describes the process of creating an expressive and cohesive work in pretty much any style of drawing. It tells you how to practice and what to look for in a subject and in your drawing. This was the textbook we used in my drawing classes and it has been an invaluable resource since then.

This book will help you find ideas and transfer them into your unique art.

well written, well illustrated.......2001-08-17

While giving clear 'how to' instructions for those beginning drawing, this book treats drawing in a much broader way than simply the realistic rendering of the visual world. It's well written and illustrated with works by a good range of contemporary artists. As an art college lecturer I find this book very useful as a resource for both myself and my students.

Book Description

The second of two volumes, containing the complete shooting scripts of the sixties cult television phenomenon, The Prisoner.

Regarded by many as the finest television drama ever produced, The Prisoner has intrigued viewers since it was originally aired in the late 1960s. Only 17 episodes were ever made, each of them riddled with symbolism and unanswerable questions. In this second book in his two-volume series, Prisoner expert Robert Fairclough has collected and annotated the original shooting scripts for the series, which include a number of variations on the episodes as broadcast. The Prisoner: The Original Scripts Volume 2, which also includes the script for the unproduced episode "Don't Get Yourself Killed," will bring a new dimension to the understanding and appreciation of this enigmatic television series.

Customer Reviews:

an excellent collection!.......2007-09-11

The second volume, containing the remaining scripts for "The Prisoner". Contains script for the unmade episode "Don't Get Yourself Killed". The book is close to 500 pages, so this is a large volume(as was the first one too).

Book Description

The first of two volumes containing the complete scripts of the sixties cult television phenomenon.

Customer Reviews:

a great "Prisoner" resource!.......2007-09-11

This volume has scripts to the first eight episodes of "The Prisoner", together with extras like a script to an unmade episode called "The Outsider". Also contains a number of b/w Prisoner-related photographs.

An "annotated Alice" for the most eccentric TV series ever.......2007-02-16

I'm old enough (sad to say) to remember when The Prisoner first aired on American television, as a Saturday night summer replacement for the Jackie Gleason show on CBS. No matter what comes out of all the debates about what the show "really" meant and what McGoohan's "real" intents were, it's definitely stood the test of time. Perhaps because it was as eccentric as it was in its own time. This book is to the series what Martin Gardner's "Annotated Alice" is to "Alice in Wonderland". Needless to say, if you are enough of a fan to want this book, you will also want Volume 2 (thanks, honey... :-), which covers those infamous last episodes (and one unproduced one).

I'm born all over again!.......2005-11-10

This really sheds new light onto the series, with deleted lines, scenes, and information not found elsewhere. If you really want insight into things, read the scripts, assuming that you can handle script format...

The Prisoner Scripts 1 Review.......2005-10-13

The book begins with a heartfelt foreward by the late Lewis Griefer (writer of "The General" under the psudonym of Joshua Adam), an introduction by the author, and then a reproduction of the original ITC "Prisoner" writers guide created for the series' writers by Story Editor George Markstein which is a most interesting read! Then follow the original shooting scripts for the first 8 episodes of the series.

Each is reproduced in full, along with cast lists, transmission dates, writers details, original TV Times "trailers", and music cues. The highlight of the reproductions, other than being able to witness the superb scriptwriting, are the endless footnotes supplied by the author. Every single subtle change from the original script to the finished programme are highlighted in these extensive notes, as are interesting snippets of information concerning the filming locations, shooting schedule, performers, crew, and much more. The amount of information Rob has managed to include is not far from astounding, and the mind boggles as to how many times he must have watched the episodes to include every otherwise unnoticeable word change. The above-mentioned footnotes are fascinating, and make this book the ultimate tome of "Prisoner" information.

Also included is "The Outsider", an unused script written by Morris Farhi (rejected by McGoohan), and two storyline ideas submitted by series Music Editor Eric Mival, as well as a biography of George Markstein. It could be argued that the scripts and footnotes would be enough to justify a positive review, but these rare "bonus items" are the icing on the cake and also make for fascinating reading.

Those familiar with the scenes of "The Prisoner" could be forgiven for thinking that reading such a book might be a dull experience, as they already have the episodes on DVD, but they couldn't be more wrong. Whilst much of the scripts remained unaltered for the finished product, there is much that is different. Small/subtle changes in some cases, large changes in others, each and every one is included. Two such interesting things include the inclusion of the "original" Rover device, complete with flashing blue light, and mentions of Number Two's residence as the "Georgian Cottage", rather than the more familiar "Green Dome".

To list all the interesting script changes here would be an impossible task, so I will close by advising that you go out and buy this book and see them all for yourself. At £19.99 (hardback) it is by no means cheap, but is well worth the price for the scripts alone, let alone all the "bonus items" and countless footnotes.

Evolution of a Masterpiece.......2005-09-11

To say that Robert Fairclough's book is a revelation is perhaps an understatement. Sure, its just the scripts. But, the evolution between concept to realization is what this book is really about. Whether or not you agree with McGoohan's decision to take an essentially simple idea (the spy-prison) and turn it into his own subconsious metaphor, if you are a fan of this brilliant show this book is the only one I know that will give you any kind of window into this process.

Can't wait for the second volume.

Awesome -- best blackjack book in print!.......2005-05-01

Blackjack For Blood is the best book on blackjack I have ever read -- and I have read just about all of them. According to all the experts, Carlson's Advanced Omega II System (included in the book) is much stronger than Hi-Lo or K-O, and I have found it surprisingly easy to master. It definitely gets the money; that's for sure. I also like the author's writing style. He explains things very well, and he intersperses the hardcore stuff with entertaining stories about his high-rolling experiences in various casinos around the world. All in all, a terrific book on how to beat casino blackjack. I highly recommend it.

Good Book - but very complicated counting system.......2004-07-25

"BlackJack for Blood" can benefit any player of 21, from new people looking for the basic rules of when to stand/hit/double, to the more ambitious card counter who wants a system that can basically guarantee success at the table.

The unnamed author mixes rules with amusing, relevant anecdotes and actually creates an interesting read. He gives information that will help counters avoid detection and also deals out less-than noble (but not exactly illegal) tricks a player can use to take a few extra chips from those evil casinos.

The meat of the book, however, is a card counting system that takes some serious brain power and practice to master. I always found math to be boring and simplistic in school and received nearly perfect scores on the math sections of scholastic standardized tests. But the card counting system covered in this book may be a little above my mental capacity. It is only for people with Mensa-level processors.

Rebuttal of Reviewer: A reader from Las Vegas, NV USA.......2003-12-19

I don't want to guess on who supplies the paycheck for " Reviewer: A reader from Las Vegas, NV USA" but... all readers should go to BJ21.com or Card Counter CAFE or any other BJ player hangout to review all the activity that is currently going on to win at BJ.

By the way this book is pretty good but Hi-Lo is a better count system for the begginer to start with.

First Impressions.......2003-10-20

I have never played a game of BJ in a casino in my life. I once spent an hour and a half in a Las Vegas casino, spent $20 on a one armed bandit and then went to a movie while the rest of the family blew their money. I don't like to gamble! This book has me convinced that BJ is a game of skill and not chance. It was a fun read, and easy to understand. The mathematics involved seemed correct (although I haven't gotten out the computer to verify)I give it a 4 out of 5 only because I have never read another book on BJ and really have nothing to compare it with. The one thing he emphasized and I liked about his approach was that winning isn't easy and you have to be sharp to do it. I plan on reading a few more books and becoming a lot more proficient with basic strategys and counting systems before I go to the casino, but this book has me convinced I can win.

Very well written and informative book........2003-10-18

A must have book for your blackjack library! I also recommend, Gregorian Strategy for multiple deck blackjack.

Book Description

The author cites each of the British patents of 29 radio and television inventors in chronological order, giving the researcher a sense of the historical development of each inventor's work.
