Parkinson calendar.......2006-02-01
I obviously HAVE to have a fantasy calendar in my office and Boris Vallejo doesn't pass the harassment test. In the past, I've gone with Michael Whelan's Dragons and Mystics series but he has chosen not to release any more of those. I looked around and found Keith Parkinson's. It included some of my favorite covers and some I hadn't seen before. It's an excellent substitute, even an improvement.
Sadly, it appears Mr. Parkinson passed away this year but if future calendars of his art are released, count me in.
A Beautiful Reminder..........2005-11-01
For those of you who may not have heard, Keith passed away just last month. He was a true great in the fantasy art field, and a swell guy too. My condolences go out to his friends and family, their loss is great.
I'd highly recommend this to any fan of the genre. Buy it for the art, and for the memories...

More than a little bit more of the same........2005-02-25
Titles of books can be as misleading as titles given to anything else. If, for example, you purchased a CD claiming to be the best Hit Records of your favourite group or solo artist - you would not expect to find anything other than those particular songs recorded. So what does "Master Photography" mean? Is it an invitation to purchase this book and learn how to master photography or is this a book for those who are ready for an advanced stage where they learn secrets from the Master's themselves?
Sadly it is neither. In a book filled with excellent graphics and totally uninspiring photographs, this book appears to be a rehash of all the usual suspects - you know all the usual sections and subjects from equipment to techniques. I get the feeling that if you already have a book by Michael Busselle - then you probably already have most of this one.
Once again, difficult to categorise this particular work.

Thinking in color and understanding color; the info in this book has really enhanced my understanding. The teaching on lighting tech really blew me away also! Great book for the beginner and the pro. Thanks Amazon!

Book Description
Where else can people find out about celebrity museums, where Hitler's nephew lived in New York, or how to do an authentic rain dance? In Uncle John's Slightly Irregular Bathroom Reader, of course! Aimed at the legions of literate bathroom lingerers, this toilet tome is filled with pop culture, forgotten history, strange lawsuits, weird news, and unknown origins of all sorts of things from voodoo to anime. Savvy, edifying, intriguing, and irregular trivia — bathroom brains are now occupied. From reality TV shows that almost were (contestants run a cross-country relay race, only they don't hand off a baton — they hand off a monkey!) to kung fu stories (European explorer Ferdinand Magellan died from a head wound after arrogantly drawing his sword on a Filipino man carrying a stick — who happened to be a Kung Fu master!), Uncle John's corners the market on entertainment that's fun and educational for that downtime that would otherwise be wasted.
Customer Reviews:
Another excellent Bathroon Reader.......2007-01-10
This book is an excellent source for trivia buffs and helpful tips for everyday life. My wife complains that I spend way too much time in the bathroom, which is true because I can't put the book down.
Best Bathroom Reader.......2006-11-04
I have bought my boyfriend a few of these books...the first as house-warming gift. I thought between him and his room mate that they would love it. But by far, this is his favorite. If you love these books, this one is a must.
This is a wonderful book.......2005-10-20
When I opened the package I was surprised that this book was so big. I was expecting something a lot smaller. Then when I started reading I was surprised that it held my attention as long as it did. Some of the items take up a page or two, and some only take up a paragraph or two. They say my mind jumps around a lot and that is what this book does, it jumps around a lot and for me it is interesting reading and it holds my attention when few books are able to do that. At the price these books are selling for used right now you can't go wrong on this one.
Great Book for the Crapper - Buy for Your Crapper Time.......2005-01-09
This is one great book for reading the short thoughtful and sometimes very funny, and perhaps even serious stories while in the bathroom.
I usually read it a story at a time when evacuating myself (if you know what I mean... and NO, you cannot ask for pictures). The stories and text seems to be perfected timed and written to allow for the initial sit down, to push, to rest, to push, to another rest, to the five minute half time, to push, rest, the final push for any remanants, and the final TP cleaning process. Perfect length of the stories timed to your numbers two's. This rates the book five stars all by itself.
Signed,
Erica Phillips
(My septic tank in Decatur is frozen, ask for pictures)
p.s. Some of the topics include:
1. celebrity museums
3. where Hitler's nephew lived in New York
7. how to do an authentic rain dance
19. two time toilet tomeinging
2. pop culture
5. forgotten history
88. really strange butt true lawsuits
20. really weird noises heard where else.. in the bathroom

I rate this book as FIVE WHOLE COMPLETE STARS and SO WILL YOU.
Goodbye again.
Customer Reviews:
Serious stuff if you are serious about distribution.......2007-07-31
This is serious stuff! Written by three of the top "Profit Participation Auditor-Accountants" in Hollywood, this is a very informative, very scary inside look at how the legendary "Hollywood Accounting" really works. They also go into why it is the way it is...and that does give you some sympathy for the devil. It's not an easy read since we're talking about legalese and accounting strategies here, so it's not for the casual hobbist. I found it absolutely fascinating and extremely useful since I consider myself a serious filmmaker who wants to know what a good deal and a bad deal may look like...and want to make some money with my movies, not just hit a few festivals and it end up a trophy on the shelf. If you're serious, this is a must read...but bottom line: Don't try to do this yourself. Even the everyday lawyer or CPA will get bamboozeled if they don't have a movie biz experience.
Follow the Money!.......2001-07-03
This book will help anyone who desires to learn how their box office ticket dollars are spent. The authors take you step by step through a standard profit participation agreement. I feel the authors are not as aggressive as they should be hollywood's unethical "creative accounting". The distributors and the audit firms would like artists to believe that the lack of knowledge is why many artist are "cheated" out of their net profits or as Eddie Murphy stated "monkey profits". All net profit participants should read this before they listen to their lawyers and auditors. Many auditors and attorneys are willing participants in the "net profit scam"!
Book Description
This is the first book to provide an introduction to music editing, including the history of the field, and the issues and problems encountered. The preparation of editions for performance and study is one of the most important activities and contributions of the music scholar to cultural life. Through accessible editions, previously unknown music enters the repertoire, while well-known works receive fresh interpretations. Through a series of test cases, James Grier examines music editing from the early music repertoire to contemporary works, including a number of genres from opera to the symphony. Grier also examines the future of music editing and its application on CD-ROM and related electronic media.

Too tiny.......2007-03-11
I love to colour but found these designs too small to look at, let alone colour in. You would have to use very sharp pencils or fine markers to enjoy this book. It's been taking up space on my shelf for years and has never been used.
great book for older kids/adults.......2005-11-22
i bought this book early in the year and i found it amazing. truly so many possibilities within one page. the only thing i didnt like in this book was that on a few of the pages, the lines were super-tiny! maybe a gel pen could fit, but my markers, crayons, etc would go out of the lines by making the tiniest mark. overall great book for anyone 12 and up.
Not so bad if you know what to use with it..........2005-10-19
If you use gel pens, the fine points....you will have no trouble at all with these patterns. They are absoulutely wonderful patterns. Yes, they are tiny lines, only for an adult, but like I said use the fine point gel pens and you will not have any trouble. Not to mention the gel pens rarely go through the paper. Enjoy!
ROx
You've got to be kidding........2000-12-06
While the designs in this book provide for unlimited color and pattern combinations, many of the pages have spaces that are so tiny you'd have to use something as thin as a needle to stay inside the lines. A pencil or colored pencil sharpened lethally, barely. Markers or crayons, forget it! You've heard of large print editions? This one's microscopic.

Geometrical Design Coloring Book (Colouring Books)
ASIN: 0762414480
Release Date: 2003-02-04 |
Customer Reviews:
Fun and stimulating.......2004-02-24
These designs are lots of fun to color, sort of relaxing and stimulating all at the same time. Shapes, pictures, and patterns appear, and disappear, in front of your eyes. I loved coloring in the designs and creating something that I knew was all of my own. I really recommend Images Book 5 for all those who want to explore their own imaginations.
Unbelievably LOW Quality.......2004-02-08
I am hugely disappointed in this item, and the cover photo is extremely misleading, since the inside pages are NOT white as the cover pic shows! They are beige-yellow kraft paper type color and the poorest quality paper of any coloring book--for adults, or kids--that I have ever seen. Why wasn't this very important fact mentioned in the description? The price of this book is outrageous compared to the excellent quality paper and designs of the under four dollar set, such as Dazzling Designs, or even Kaleidoscope Designs coloring books. I would not have paid even two dollars for this book.
The pages don't copy well--they come out dirty looking because of the yellowish paper. The pages are very thin, NOT suitable for markers, paint or any wet media (the type I use most). At least they are printed one to a page, and the designs would be great, IF the paper quality were even adequate or minimal, or could be copied in white at least, to color out of the book. Do not pay six-plus bucks for this, unless you have money to burn and are buying this for a genius 2 year old with crayons. Maybe a two dollar used copy would be a good value for children to use?
Unfortunately, the designs are the type of complex, 3-D patterns an adult would enjoy most, so I don't understand why they used the worst paper they could find, and then priced it out of range with its actual value. I had all of these versions in my wish list and would have bought every one of them if this one had at least white (or ability to clean copy) pages. The real killer is that it will cost me more to return it and I am out not only the cover price, but postal costs both ways as well.
Do all of the "Roger Burrows Images" (original numbered one through 4) coloring books have such poor quality, thin, non-white scap type paper as this one? If not, let me know and maybe I'll try a different one. The designs in this one are particularly appealing compared to the previous versions by Roger Barrows. The Ultimate Coloring Experience? I think not, unless he means a new ultimate WORST coloring experience. Item cover photo misrepresents this Images 5 book almost to the point of bait and switch technique--show perfectly beautiful, complex designs on brilliant white paper, then inside where a potential online buyer can't truly see, the cheapest medium possible for coloring on.
Book Description
Roger Burrows' innovative Images books have always been popular-now they're portable! Each unique volume in our Images series of ready-to-color pattern books stimulates the visual imagination with an infinite number of forms nested within complex geometric shapes. There is no age limit to the creativity and fun to be found on the pages of these totally unique coloring books. Now we're presenting Burrows' all-new geometric designs with the convenience of a hardback board (great for lap coloring), wire-o binding for flip-over convenience, perforated pages for removing and displaying one's work, a set of colored pencils in a clear, reclosable pouch, and a pencil sharpener.

Book Description
This is a comprehensive guide to the black experience both on film and behind the camera. More than 6,000 entries documenting global film activity from 1919 to 1990 offer historical perspective on the black image in film, bibliographical material on filmmakers and individual artists, and exciting information on newly emerging talent throughout the world. Drawing on a wide variety of resource materials, the study furnishes extensive coverage of developments in filmmaking in Sub-Saharan Africa, Latin America, Europe, and the Caribbean, followed by a thorough examination of the African-American film experience. Two appendixes provide supplementary data on reference works, and names and addresses of notable film resource centers. Four indexes keyed by artist, title, subject, and author complete the work, which proves to be a valuable reference work for scholars and historians in the field of blacks in film.
