Book Description
This exciting interactive book by a renowned children's book author takes readers on a mystery-solving adventure that ties together fact finding, artistic research, and the fabulous world of Leonardo da Vinci's art works.
When readers of this fascinating children's book are presented with an admission ticket to the Museum of Adventure, an exhibit on Leonardo da Vinci turns into a rollicking adventure through history and art. Hot in pursuit of two suspicious visitors who have stolen an important document, readers, led by the dog Pablo that lives in the museum, enter the door of a Magic Room and find themselves in the studio of the master himself. Armed with a notebook written in code, readers must solve a variety of riddles, hidden inside the artist's paintings, which will lead them to the ancient stone depository—and ultimately to the secret that will save the museum from closing forever. Illustrated and designed with the curious eyes of young readers in mind, The Museum of Adventures is a magical place where Mona Lisa smiles and waves; Leonardo's inventions come to life; and a charming dog leads youthful sleuths through an interactive educational journey that will leave an indelible impression for years to come.

Cartooning One Star, Flash Examples One=A big Dud.......2004-02-17
If you had no cartooning instruction, nor opened a 'How to Cartoon' book, and had a limited understanding of Flash this would be a good place to start. If you are well advanced in your study of both cartooning and Flash and want to put together quality animation I'm sorry to say this book will be poor help.
I bought the book shortly after it was published, went to the authors website and never went back to either. To make cheap, shoddy animation you don't need an overly priced book like this...
The "Illusion of Life" book for Flash Animation, with fine examples of how Flash can move the net, has still to be written.
You've been warned.
Not worth the $40.......2004-02-16
I bought a lot of books about Flash animation to better improve my skills in the subject. I got this one along with a few others. This book taught me nothing that I didn't already know. This stuff I already knew wasn't from other books, it was from common sense. Sure, I guess if you are completely new the program this book may be useful somewhat, but not much at all.
This book had some pretty awful ideas. Something about drawing each frame onto paper then scanning it in. It kept referring to capture cards to capture video. Wait, I thought we were making the video?
The fact that this book was in black and white didn't help at all. What few good pictures it had, they really needed to be in color to understand what was going on.
For $40, you'd expect a good book and a CD-ROM with all the examples in FLA source format. Nope. You get a pretty bad book with no cd at all. Be smart, don't buy this book. I'd recomend THE FLASH ANIMATOR since it was written by a true professional who has made a landmark on the internet (Sandro Corsaro).
Keeps on giving.......2003-09-18
I found this book to be pretty good. Not knowing a single thing about flash and some about animation it was able to meet all my needs in learning more about the two together. The greatest thing about this book was the author, i was confused on how to do something in Flash so i emailed the author and he emailed me back the same day with clear info on how to fix my problem. I really apprecited him taking his time out for me, i was trully suprised when i got his very helpful emaiil. Thanks again, and to all of you out there that are thinking about getting this book please do you woun't be disapointed.
Great Book!.......2003-09-06
I think this is a great flash tutorial book on how to make cartoons. Its wonderful! So simple to catch on to. This is not any ordinary tutorial book its one of the funest ones I've ever purchased. Instead of the book be dull and boring like other tutorials this book takes a fun twist. I highly rate this book for everything. I hope that Ibis Fernadez comes out with another tutorial book just as great as this one!
Cartoony Stuff.......2003-08-12
This is a good-enough and likeable book about extending the capabilities of Flash into professional animation and cartooning. But a CD on the back of it would really have made my day.

a l i e n.......2006-11-10
If you liked the movie then you'll want to own this book.
An excellent companion book to a classic film........2006-04-23
Giger's Alien is an excellent companion book to a classic film. It is written from Giger's diaries about his experience on the production of the film. It also has many behind the scene photographs. A very entertaining behind the scenes book about a classic film.
Giger's Alien is an all inspiring illustration of his genius.......1999-04-16
When you first open this book, you have to control yourself from shaking and your knees from buckling. Giger's biomechanical Aliens, have what I have come to love the most, from the greatest creator of art and imagination, this force fed, silver spooned world, has ever seen. You won't look at any other art the same, ever again. Welldone H.R. Giger!
Alien.......1997-12-05
Readers will be pleased with this book if they are interested with the design of the Alien film not so much the theme of the film or Giger's art. The book is set up in pseudo biographical form that records the chain of events that led up to the production of the Alien film, through the eyes of Giger. While it does contain many of Giger's paintings they are not the center of the book rather than a means of describing film design and offering a contrast between Giger's vision and the outcome of the film.

Book Description
Swiss surrealist artist HR Giger was catapulted to international fame in 1979 for designing the inimitable creatures and otherworldly environments that terrified moviegoers in Ridley Scott’s science fiction film Alien. Yet before these iconic creations made him a Hollywood celebrity and won him an Academy Award for visual effects, Giger was already highly regarded in the international art world for his unique painting style and biomechanical dreamscapes. HR. Giger—The Oeuvre Before “Alien” is the first book to document the artist’s lesser-known, but no less impressive, early work.
This sumptuously illustrated volume traces Giger’s career from his education as an architect and industrial designer in Zürich to the development of his ink drawing and oil painting technique and his eventual breakthrough as one of the foremost artists of the fantastic realism school. These youthful works formed the groundwork for the artist’s later drawings that earned the esteem of the design industry, the adoration of sci-fi aficionados, and a firm place in the twentieth-century pop culture canon.
Featuring many unpublished or rarely available early paintings and drawings and accompanied by an essay by noted art historian Beat Stutzer, this volume also sets Giger’s paintings side by side with predecessors such as Goya, Ensor, and Piranesi. HR Giger—The Oeuvre Before “Alien” illuminates the mind of a visual genius whose first artistic experiments were decades before their time.

Product Description
For more than half a century, John "Bucky" Pizzarelli has been a part of the fraternity of musicians who have kept mainstream and traditional jazz alive. The lists of big bands and vocalists with whom Bucky has performed and recorded reads like a veritable Who's Who of Jazz. This 208 page book offers a brief history of the jazz guitar, a generous dose of biographical information about Bucky, plus short sketches of dozens of other jazz stars of his era. From gigs in his teen and his professional debut with the Vaughn Monroe Orchestra to his work in studio bands, command performances at the White House, and beyond - Bucky's life story is told here largely through the eyes of his many illustrious associates. The comprehensive discography provided in the appendix will be welcomed by all Pizzarelli fans. In addition to performance and publicity photos, this book is further enhanced by many casual snapshots of Bucky and friends as well as black and white shots of a few Bucky's oil paintings. Jazz guitarist, recording artist, teacher, painter, family man, and always the gentlemen - this thoughtful biography reveals the many facets of John "Bucky" Pizzarelli.

Customer Reviews:
What a waste..........2005-12-23
Call me a throwback but I miss the days when TSR would at least try give you more bang for your buck. This set consists of nothing more than a 16 page book, poorly concieved and written, and two doublesided maps. There is nothing here that could not have been included in another set. Instead someone in marketing had the idea of squeezing even more money out of us clueless gamers- and so they did. I have maps. I have a monster manual. Therefor I didn't need any of this, especially not for this price. It simply makes more sense to convert second or even first edition modules to third and don't waste your time on this drivel.
Not bad, very nice mini maps.......2005-12-18
The adventure is not all that great but the mini maps are excellant and you can use them for just about anything. I run an Eberron game and needing a cave with some lava running through it makes a great place for a trek into Khyber to a fight for the hard to find Khyber Dragonshards.
A pretty 'hot' product from WOTC.......2005-11-24
This is a premium product from Wizards, again showcasing the major changes since buying-out TSR. The packaging is great: shrinkwrapped, with an outer cardstock cover, great cover art by Francis Tsai; interior cardstock is a color repro of the four miniatures maps included in the module. As alluded to, the module also includes four full-color maps of Hellspike, printed on bonded, heavy gloss paper. These look good, and are great for use with miniatures and as a imagination booster. The text of the product is well-written, informative and interesting to read, with great, atmospheric B&W interior illustrations that borrow from the surrounding text (not just cool art that has nothng to do with the story, as in some old TSR works). A great bonus is a collection of encounters that can easily and creatively be combined by a DM into a short adventure; the encounters are designed for 9th Level PCs, but a good DM can adjust to allow for lower-level players. The text is a short 16 pages, but the maps are worth the additional four dollars (over a typical module cost of around ten bucks). I bought this at a hobby shop at 10% off; but it's discounted pretty steeply here at Amazon, and costs the same as a standard module. All told, a fun product. I run my own brand of D&D gaming, based off the 2nd Ed Rules (1989), with selected changes found in the new 2000+ (3.0, 3.5) rules. Works great all the way around. To run this accessory/module you must have a Player's Handbook and Dungeon Master's Guide. Players DON'T need to buy this, or similar products; let your DMs buy these things, and you'll enjoy the surprise of new discovery as you play in a 'Fantastic Location!' The Monster Manuals are pretty cool, but with some imagination you can make your own monsters, or download some cool critters free off the internet. There are a few Hellspike-specific monsters included in this product, but not enough to really play an adventure. PS: I don't work for WOTC; this is an honest review.

This is obviously not a book. This is SOFTWARE........2003-12-17
I'm not sure who messed this one up but obviously this is not a book. this is a set of old software repackaged with a bonus audio book in it. But you know what? Thats OK, because I played this game several years ago and have been wanting it for a while. I hope they updated the program so it is now WINDOWS COMPATABLE!!!! Yes, folks. When I played it, it was DOS. Remember DOS? Boy, I'm dating myself. I hope they did themselves a favor and fixed that little oversight. Oh yeah, the review. It's cool and a neat little piece of nostalgia for all us DS9 fans out there. We ARE out there you know..... I wish Paramount would start to clue in on that. Peace, my brothers and sisters of the continnuum.
