Customer Reviews:

Get this book, even if you have to hunt for a copy!.......2005-08-08

This book, plus the three others in this series, are a super find for anyone doing bird or animal carving. It includes background info on each bird, instructions and most importantly, a pattern showing the side view, the top view and front view. Tips on making feet, how to texture and burn your bird are covered and suggestions for mounting are included. I am in a weekly woodcarving club and I have seen many of projects from this book completed and they looked really good. A lady who carved the Great Blue Heron from this book won awards for it. I carved the mountain lion and was proud of the result. My only complaint, and it is just a minor one, is that I wish that information on painting the completed projects had been included.

Product Description

Customer Reviews:

Better than expected.......2006-11-05

I ordered this songbook while directing a production of The Rocky Horror Show to use until the actual score arrived. It is surprisingly accurate, and actually contains more information on vocals than the score does. It was perfect for auditions and saved me from disaster during early rehearsals (since the score arrived 2 weeks later than I needed it)!

Richard O'Brien is pure Genious!.......2000-04-25

This book was really great, I found out things I never knew about Rocky Horror, and I'v only seen that movie around 100 times! Richard O'Brien is pure Genious!

Product Description

»I could snap whatever caught my eye, stirred my imagination«, states Mick Rock about the time he spent with the »Rocky Horror Picture Show«. As the 'special photographer' on the set he was right in the middle of the action. This book contains 272 pages of the most beautiful pictures, most of them never published before, from the entire film production, featuring images from the set as well as backstage photos of the actors and the director. Mick Rock's fabulous pictures show Tim Curry aka Frank N. Furter jumping into the swimming pool during a shooting break, Richard O'Brien being transformed into Riff Raff, and how the illustrious society celebrates the creation of 'Rocky' the love monster. These and many other pictures by Mick Rock have been compiled for the first time in this magnificent tome, complemented by the photographer's reminiscences of this time, and ennobled by Richard O'Brien's foreword. This high quality photo book is a unique film document as well as a splendid collector's item for everyone who is crazy about the story of mad scientist Frank N.Furter. The original play opened in 1973 on the experimental stage »Theatre Upstairs« at the Royal Court Theatre in London, and the same year it was elected »Best Musical of 1973«. In 1974 the shooting of the film began with most of the actors from the original cast, along with other great young actors such as Susan Sarandon and Tim Curry. The film premiered in 1975. And now - finally, thirty years later - this large-format illustrated book with its luxurious, stylish design - perfectly fitting to the film - has been released.

The one and only Rocky Horror Photo Book.......2006-07-27

I bought this book through the German distributor and was a bit apprehensive at first, but this is totally fantastic! Not only are the photographs really excellent, but also the design goes with the character of Rocky Horror perfectly. The whole cast is captured in all their glory, and there are revealing backstage shots - Tim Curry without make-up, parties, etc. Apparently, Mick Rock was the only photographer allowed on the set at all times.

This is a collector's item for every fan of Rocky Horror. I look at mine all the time. It was well worth the price.

Book Description

Arthur Lee's band, Love, is widely acknowledged as one of the most influential groups of the late sixties. Led by Lee through a tempestuous history of dissolution and resurrections, their psychedelic-folk masterpiece, Forever Changes, regularly appears high in polls of the greatest albums of all time. Recent times, however, have not been so kind: in 1996, Lee was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease and also received a twelve-year sentence for threatening his neighbors with a gun. Including interviews with Lee himself and guitarist Bryan Maclean, among many others, this fascinating tale reveals the dark side of the Summer of Love -- heroin, crime, and bitter ego battles -- while also tracking Lee's musical career through the post-Love years to his recent incarceration in a U.S. jail.

Customer Reviews:

And Less Again!.......2002-02-19

The Love story proper offers everything necessary to create one incredibly good book: fantastic music (the band recorded three fantastic albums in the mid/late 1960's ["Love", "Da Capo", and "Forever Changes"]); a reclusive and temperamental helmsman (Arthur Lee) whose nature cost the band much deserved exposure and success; and another incredibly creative force - the emotionally hypersensitive Bryan MacLean whose life could be called anything but ordinary. And that's just what readily comes to mind!

Consequently, it is amazing that anyone could take all of the above parts and create such an awful mess! The "book" (it's less than 200 pages, double-spaced, and with incredibly wide margins on all four sides!) barely skims the surface of everything about Lee and Love that COULD be explored. Instead, as another reviewer noted, the author merely repackages quotations and data from pre-existing magazine articles, reviews, and the like. (It looks and reads about like a research paper that a high school student might write.)

And forget this book if you're looking to learn anything about Lee's later efforts and experiences!

You'll probably have more fun (and come out with the same information) by just going to a university library and pulling back issues of publications from the 1960's or just reading the liner notes of some of the reissues that are out there.

Does anyone have any further information on the other Lee biography that the author quotes continually. Perhaps it's a good book....somebody let me know.

no new information.......2002-01-17

This book barely contains any new information about Arthur Lee and his fascinating and brilliant group. It's ok if you don't know much about the group but die hard Lee fans will be quite disappointed in this book. I agreewith the other reviewers : most of this book I've read before in liner notes and online postings. This is strange because Hoskyns' other books that I've read (on The Band and music in Los Angeles) were engaging, informative, and entertaining. In addition, he writes for MOJO magazine, a British publication that is top notch. It's puzzling how he could write such an inferior work as this. I also don't know why Hoskyns loathes the post Forever Changes music by Love so much. Granted,it's not as essential as the first three albums, but still it is generally quite good. Overall, this is a very disappointing book.

Severly Disappointing.......2002-01-09

DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT buy this book, especially if you are an Arthur Lee or Love fan. Nearly everything that is included in this book as already been published on the internet. It's almost as if Hoskyns didn't even write the book, since he pulls so much of his material from previous newspaper and magazine articles. He didn't even interview Lee in jail - didn't speak to Johnny Echols (who EVERYONE has been wondering about).

What was the point?.......2002-01-01

In a word, this book is terrible. Perhaps the author was working with a very limited budget from the publishing house, but there is no doubt that this is one of the most poorly researched books I have ever read. It reads more like a long internet article from a casual fan. First of all, the subject of this book, Arthur Lee, was apparently only interviewed once, a few years back. And it wasn't much of an interview. Bryan Maclean was only interviewed once prior to his death. The rest of the material comes from liner notes from repackaged CDs and three magazine interviews of Arthur Lee in the early 1970s. Not a single interview with a contemporary of Arthur Lee such as Neil Young or David Crosby. Moreover, no interview with Johnny Echols! In fact, Echols was interviewed for the liner notes of the Love's first album and directly contradicts the book's account as to how Love took its name and how the Leaves got "Hey Joe" from Love. Whether Echols' account was true or not - this author makes no mention of it and obviously made no attempt to interview Echols. What attempt did he make to interview Lee from jail? Don't waste your money like me. A disaster from start to finish. And a complete con job!

Book Description

The inside story of the gaming company that hit the jackpot playing by its own rules
Robert L. Shook, a New York Times bestselling author, delves into the business behind one of the world's foremost gaming and entertainment companies, Harrah's. Since Bill Harrah took over a small card game business in 1937, Harrah's has become a top casino, dominating Nevada and beyond. The first gaming company listed on the New York Stock Exchange, Harrah's is a $4 billion-dollar business driven by smart marketing and smarter leadership. This book is the first to examine Harrah's and its leader, a man who dominated an industry and amassed a staggering fortune while refusing to deal with mobsters and corrupt politicians. Though Bill Harrah died in 1978 and the company has since been sold, Harrah's has retained its sense of history and remained an industry leader. Following the company's growth, Shook uncovers rich business lessons about marketing and customer loyalty, increasing market share in fiercely competitive industries, and maintaining a sense of integrity in a cutthroat business world. This is a compelling and intriguing story of a company that gambled and won, and it offers business readers an opportunity to benefit from the hard-won lessons of a paragon of the entertainment industry.
Robert L. Shook (Columbus, OH) is a seasoned business journalist and the ghostwriter behind several New York Times bestsellers. He is the founder and former CEO of Shook Associates and the American Executive Life Insurance Company. He is the author or coauthor of thirty-five books, including The IBM Way, Mary Kay on People Management, and Mary Kay's You Can Have It All.

Customer Reviews:

Interesting and easy read on Harrah's and the industry!.......2006-11-29

This book tells in an easy, readable fashion the story of Harrah's from the humble beginnings of a small parlor in Reno to the multibillion dollar behemoth it is today. Although the primary focus is on Harrah's, of course, the book covers the growth of the industry in the US overall from the early days, through the mob years in Vegas and the entertainment explosion that happened, to the proliferation of boats, reservation gambling and other gambling alternatives such as the lotteries through many US states.

This is a great book to read for reminders on the basics of "getting it right" when it comes to customer service, treating employees right, thinking strategically and executing on a vision. It is amazing what Harrah's has done in the area of parlaying customer information into long term, profitable relationships!

I have read many business books, this is my most favorite in recent months, for sure.

Read on, and watch out for that river card :)

Motivate yourself.......2003-02-08

Great book -- the lessons taught are for all service based organizations. Learn how to create customer loyalty and enjoy your business more. Must read!!

best marketing book I ever read.......2003-01-16

I have read other books by Robert L. Shook, and he is an accomplished writer of business books. He's at his best with Jackpot. This book is both informative and entertaining. Shook takes his reader behind the scenes at Harrah's, a gaming company with 26 casinos and reveals how the company is able to compete so successfully against billion-dollar properties in the Las Vegas market. Harrah's secret, as the subtitle states is how it wins customer loyalty and does it better than its competition. This is an excellent book for any business reader engaged in a highly competitive industry, and, in particular, goes head to head with the big boys. Shook's writing style is superb--he interwines anecdotal material that makes for a fascnating read. True, this is a business book, but at times, it's such a page-turner, you feel you're reading a novel.

This book is a "winner!".......2003-01-14

This book is about an outstanding culture that is culminated from the founder's passion, integrity and leadership.

Jackpot provides cutting-edge lessons and ideas that are being exposed for the first time in topics such as: marketing and customer loyalty, building market share, and preserving high integrity.

Harrah's placed its chips on integrity and serving the customer. It's no wonder they are so successful.

"very FUNNY book".......2003-01-08

This book is a riot! I could not put it down. One of the funniest books on gambling I have ever read.(and I've read 100 books on Vegas/Gambling.Go straight to page 43 first- "there is no underworld presence today in Las Vegas"- this author really knows how to write satire.The book is just filled with one funny story after another about how everything now in gambling is on the up & up.Robert Shook is more humerous than that Connecticut Senator whose trying to protect children from the entertainment industry.Another fun thing to do with his book- circle the word "lawyer" and then underline all the Federal & State laws that his book exposes.God Bless America! We should all feel blessed to have a comedy writer like Robert.
