Oh my, this is scary good!!.......2007-08-10
I've been sewing for over 50 years, and I learned so much from this book !! Wow! Fabrication, technique, results ... worth every penny!!!
A WONDERFUL RESOURCE OF PROFESSIONALISM.......2007-08-08
This book provided detailed professional information on sewing techniques for creating tailored men's shirts. This book showed you how to alter patterns, create your own pattern OR copy one of your own shirts.
Very infomative. Be prepared to elevate your sewing knowlegde. This book uses "plain talk". It can be read by beginning sewers and advanced sewers.
I recommend purchasing the accomanying video for visual education.
Weird shirts.......2007-03-26
If I had viewed this book prior to purchase I would not have bought it. Its got some strange designs and all I really wanted was some clear patterns etc for quality shirts.
At last! Clear, concise instructions.......2006-12-21
I've read a lot of books on sewing techniques, some better than others, but this one "takes the cake." I thought this book was easy to read, and very well explained and illustrated. I actually felt like I could go back into the sewing room with confidence! Many of the author's directions could be applied to more garments than just shirts, so I think this is a valuable book.
Good treatment of a specialized topic.......2006-10-25
This book is just about the only resource for readers interested in learning about a specialized area of garment sewing: the made-to-order or made-to-measure man's dress shirt. There are several major topics in the book. I didn't think they were equally strong, but it depends on how much you already know, and what your interests are. The author gives a lot of interesting information about the kinds of garments that are found in luxury shirt shops. He explains the styles, materials and some of the more difficult and advanced sewing methods involved. He also gives lots of technical sewing advice that would be hard to find elsewhere. For beginners, this may be very helpful-or rather daunting. I personally thought some of his methods make the tasks more fussy than they need to be. The historic secion of the book was my favorite part. He gives a really good overview of the history of the modern menswear shirt. This is quite a complex garment, as you will know if you have ever tried to sew (or iron) one. It was interesting to learn how the many little design details evolved.
Another major section of the book is dedicated to examples of creative variations on the standard shirt. This can be a source of design inspiration, but it really depends on your personal tastes. I'm a shirt purist and really prefer the classic version, so I didn't get much out of this section. But if you want more variety in your wardrobe, and have lots of personal flair, this book will certainly get you going.
This is not a book for beginning sewers, or for those interested in learning how to sew a classic man's shirt using efficient industrial methods. But if couture shirtmaking is of interest to you, this is THE book on this specialized subject.

Graphic SF Reader.......2007-09-04
This is really pretty entertaining. There are multiple spoofs and satires in here, from short movie blobs, and the robot killer santa vs the robot dealer to the more clever versions of the Terminator.
Not sure who came up with Fry's X-Men dream, but that was definitely funny, and well done, particularly with him dressed as Phoenix.
great if you loved the show.......2007-06-27
this is a good purchase if you are a big fan of the show and want some sew stories. it isnt that well written( obvouisly not by groening). the problem is that the tv shows jokes had a lot to do with timing. thats hard to replicate as a comic.but ienjoyed it being a big fan of the show.
for added fun.. read it out loud and try to do the voices.!!!
Am I tainted by being a Futurama fan?.......2006-01-10
I was a Futurama fan from the beginning of this series. I got others involved as fans. And although this series doesn't have the lingering power of the Simpsons, it was entertaining, witty, and rewarding to the fan who learned the nuances of the characters.
With that said, Futurama Adventures was disappointing. And I'm not really sure that I can tell you why! It wasn't "entertaining, witty, and rewarding to the fan who learned the nuances of the characters." It was flat, bland, and not very entertaining.
I think I have been totally contaminated by knowing Futurama as a television series. I compare the printed version to that audio-visual version, and it loses badly. The tone in the voices, the shrugging of Fry's shoulder, the burping of Bender... it is the little things that make these characters "believable" and "adorable." Take them away, and you get flat, bland, etc. I feel the same way about the Simpsons books.
So... thumbs up for Futurama! If you want to know this series and these characters, get the DVDs. You won't get to know Fry by reading this book.
FUTURAMA FOREVER!!!.......2005-04-15
Adventures is the sequel to Futurama-O-Rama and is a compilation of the next 5 comic books: a) Who's Dying to be Gazillionaire?, b) Xmas Time is Fear, c) New Year's Rockin' Evil, d) Planet X-Press Men, and e) Freaky Fry-Day.
Just like Futurama-O-Rama, Futurama Adventures is an OUTSTANDING book; the art, the plots, the writing, the witty humor and the AMAZING characters are all very well thought out and presented!
The spoof on the X-MEN (story #4) is GREAT!
In short, keep them coming!!!
Worth a read.......2005-03-27
Fans of Futurama will greatly enjoy this volume, while it may not be worth the buy for most, if you like comics this is a book for you. While the stories are uninspired, and probably not even written by Matt Greoning,they are enjoyable and fun to read. Except story four, blah!
Book Description
Like the Margaret Mead of the married, Jenny Lee investigates the care and feeding of those extraordinary creatures called husbands. Her Vera Wang gown still warm, she explores the uncharted territory of suddenly being a wife, with a real-life husband and one television remote, and shares the mysteries of:
- How to deal with the freakish occurrence of getting beaten at Scrabble, now that you can no longer retreat to your own apartment
- What to do when you find out that he's using your very, very expensive, very, very hard-to-find shampoo.
- Figuring out who is least inept at handling the money, including how to make it through a weekend when the ATM comes up zeroes
- Confronting dinner duty while staying faithful to your guiding principle: "It's not that I can't cook. I don't cook."
- Plus, the Great American Couple-Off, surviving the Perfect Fight, Date Night, and more.
Before the wedding, the most anyone told Jenny Lee about marriage was that it was "an adjustment," but "nice." So she took it upon herself to write the one book to read before (or definitely after) saying "I do." Hilarious, sharply observed, sweet, feisty, and courageous, it finally answers the eternal nuptial question: Am I really legally bound to a man who leaves mustard-covered knives on clean kitchen towels?
Customer Reviews:
SO HILARIOUS & SO TRUE!!!.......2007-07-10
These anecdotes will have you rolling! Hysterically funny and witty! I'm Korean-American like Lee and even though she doesn't delve too much into the whole racial/cultural issue just the stories about newlywed life are too candid to be made up! The part where she jumps up and says: "I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU'RE DOING THIS! YOU'RE SPOILING HIM!" when Lee's traditional mother brings her new son-in-law his favorite drink (lemon-lime Gatorade - just like my own husband!) on a silver tray with a crystal highball glass filled with ice. This is something my own mother has actually done.
The Great Dinner Debate is something we, to this day, still struggle with.
Anyway, this is a fast-paced, endearing, comical read. Once you pick it up you won't be able to put it down!
For Better or for Worse.......2006-11-10
Jenny Lee has provided the wedded and soon-to-be wed communtiy with a hilarious account of what married life is really like. Her hialrious anecdotes and sage advice, marinated in good humor, are thoroughly enjoyable.
why get married?.......2006-07-14
people are very divided on this book, but i wasn't into it. i guess the author is trying to be funny but she is so shallow, petty, and self centered, it seems to me that she wanted a wedding and not a marriage. last time i checked i enjoy hanging out with my husband, don't really care if he beats me at scrabble, or uses my shampoo. because those things don't matter. i guess if the book was funnier or more insightful i could have gotten beyond the whinning. but when you start the book basically complaining that you went to st. lucia, i can hardly relate.
Great for anyone who's newly married.......2006-01-02
I love this book! The first time I read it, I just could not stop laughing. And now, after a year, I am rereading it. It still cracks me up. I can relate to so many of the same experiences which Jenny Lee writes about. It is a very light fun read. Her writing is comical and very easy to read. I just bought her newest book "skinny bitching" and can't wait to start reading it.
I Do. I Did. Now What?! Life After the Wedding Dress.......2005-12-12
While it was a fun book to read, it was not at all what I thought it would be. I was looking for a book to help me with my nerves about my own wedding. The book jacket promises; how to meet other couples, cleaning compromises, and other mysteries solved. I really didn't see what mysteries it solved, nor to it answer any of the other promises. Like I said before it was fun to read, its short and quick, but does it answer any questions, I didn't think so. I also read The Conscious Bride by Sheryl Nissinen. When I looked at it the first couple of times I thought it was a book trying to talk you out of getting married, not so. It really makes you think about different aspects of your engagement and relationship, now that was a helpful book!

Wonderful insight in this book.......2002-01-11
It has really helped me get ready for my upcoming wedding. A friend lent his copy to me, and I am going to buy one myself. I only wish I could take a class from Dr. Holman
Great book about Marriage.......1999-02-20
Although I'm not yet married, I do have to say that this book is very good because it uses the experience of real life couples and it's divided into easy to reference topics/chapters. I have to admit that I'm a little biased because my brother-in-law co-authored the book with Mr. Holman. All in all an excellent book on marriage.
Book Description
Richard Abel's magisterial new book radically rewrites the history of French cinema between 1896 and 1914, particularly during the years when Pathé-Frères, the first major corporation in the new industry, led the world in film production and distribution. Based on extensive investigation of rare archival films and documents, and drawing on recent social and cultural histories of turn-of-the-century France and the United States, his book provides new insights into the earliest history of the cinema.
Abel tells how early French film entertainment changed from a cinema of attractions to the narrative format that Hollywood would so successfully exploit. He describes the popular genres of the era--comic chases, trick films and féeries, historical and biblical stories, family melodramas and grand guignol tales, crime and detective films--and shows the shift from short subjects to feature-length films. Cinema venues evolved along with the films as live music, color effects, and other new exhibiting techniques and practices drew larger and larger audiences. Abel explores the ways these early films mapped significant differences in French social life, helping to produce thoroughly bourgeois citizens for Third Republic France.
The Ciné Goes to Town recovers early French cinema's unique contribution to the development of the mass culture industry. As the one-hundredth anniversary of cinema approaches, this compelling demonstration of film's role in the formation of social and national identity will attract a wide audience of film scholars, social and cultural historians, and film enthusiasts.

Comprehensive history of early French film.......2002-12-07
Richard Abel has done a massive reasearch job, and impressively documented French silent films from their first showing until the outbreak of World War I. French films were the most popular in the world until the War wiped out the film-making industry for a few years. By then, the American film industry was the world leader.
Abel viewed hundreds of still-existing early films in writing this book. The appendix includes a very useful filmography that lists existing French silent films, the archive that holds them, and lists contemporary magazine reviews of the films. This book has very detailed endnotes of his sources. There are quite a few photos from the films that Abel describes.
The book is broken up into five parts. The first part documents a history of the French film industry up to 1914, and the audiencies of the time. The next section documents "The Cinema of Attractions (1896-1904), when George Melies was the most popular filmmaker with his "trick" films. Also, the Lumiere Brothers specialized in "actuality" films, and the Pathe company was growing. The next section covers "The Transition to a Narrative Cinema (1904-1907)", where short story films were king. Pathe and Gaumont were the dominant film companies, and Melies was not popular much longer. Next, "The Pre-Feature Single-Reel Story Film" documents the rise of comedies, historical films and even cartoons. Finally, "The Rise of the Feature Film (1911-1914) covers historical epics that were much longer, crime and detective films, and comedies featuring comedians like Max Linder and Andre Deed. The book also explains how both serious films and comedies both affirmed and satirized contemporary French society.
If you are new to the study of film history, this book will be way over your head. On the other hand, if you are interested in the development of film narrative and editing, you will be fascinated by this book. My only complaint is that Abel describes so many different examples of films, that it is tough to read a large chunk of this book at one sitting. After an hour or so, all of the plot-lines and camera-work and editing that he describes starts to blur together in your mind. I think that the book might have benefited from more section breaks. Still, this is a fascinating book for the serious silent film fan.

Everybody "knows" that gay men love show tunes; as D.A. Miller writes in one self-mockingly academic passage of Place for Us, the original cast albums "were used, scholars now believe, in a puberty rite that, though it was conducted by single individuals in secrecy and shame, was nonetheless so widely diffused as to remain, for several generations, as practically normative for gay men and it was almost unknown for straight ones." Miller's elaborate pondering of the intersection of homosexuality and Broadway shifts between critical exegesis of shows like Gypsy and autobiographical reflections written in a curiously distancing (and, at times, generalizing) third-person voice. Although some will be put off by the academic tone, there are treasures to be found sprinkled throughout these pages, such as the black-and-white reproductions of Michael Perelman's Broadway-inspired oil paintings. Or Miller's description of an ironic piano-bar singer, "like a third-rate magician who, thinking to take advantage of his inferior talent for illusionism, devises a novelty act in which he gives away the familiar tricks of his betters ... out to betray the habitual prestidigitation of the whole enormous population of gay composers, lyricists, librettists, choreographers, and others" who coyly cloaked their sexuality in misdirection and innuendo. --Ron Hogan
Book Description
It used to be a secret that, in its postwar heyday, the Broadway musical recruited a massive underground following of gay men. But though this once silent social fact currently spawns jokes that every sitcom viewer is presumed to be in on, it has not necessarily become better understood.
In Place for Us, D. A. Miller probes what all the jokes laugh off: the embarrassingly mutual affinity between a "general" cultural form and the despised "minority" that was in fact that form's implicit audience. In a style that is in turn novelistic, memorial, autobiographical, and critical, the author restores to their historical density the main modes of reception that so many gay men developed to answer the musical's call: the early private communion with original cast albums, the later camping of show tunes in piano bars, the still later reformatting of these same songs at the post-Stonewall disco. In addition, through an extended reading of Gypsy, Miller specifies the nature of the call itself, which he locates in the postwar musical's most basic conventions: the contradictory relation between the show and the book, the mimetic tendency of the musical number, the centrality of the female star. If the postwar musical may be called a "gay" genre, Miller demonstrates, this is because its regular but unpublicized work has been to indulge men in the spectacular thrills of a femininity become their own.

For the record:.......2003-11-02
A reviewer below -- though not as below as he deserves to be -- writes: "DA Miller is an old professor of mine, and this book is as insufferably pretentious as is the man himself...The only person stupid enough to say about this book that it's "Barthesian" is Professor Miller himself (who I actually suspect to be the author of the review below...)"
The bad faith inscribed in this "review" is evident enough, even if its history is obscure; my guess is that Miller gave this guy a B+ instead of the A he thought he deserved. But for the record: Miller did NOT write the review that called his approach Barthesian. I did. And, by the way, I'm another former student of Miller's (back in his Harvard days, where he was one of the very best teachers I've ever had). PLACE FOR US is difficult, sure -- I think everyone can agree on that. But it more than rewards those who make the effort to meet its challenges. It's a dazzling critical and literary performance.
You Gotta Get A Gimmick.......2003-08-12
Roland Barthes: Madamoiselle Lee, is not the most erotic portion of a body where the garment gapes?
Gypsy Rose Lee: But Monsieur Barthes, I'm not a stripper - at these prices, I'm an ecdysiast!
D.A. Miller spends more than a bit of his book, A Place for Us, Essay on the Broadway Musical, musing on Mama Rose from Gypsy, but the muse of his book is none other than Gypsy Rose Lee, famous for putting the tease in strip-tease, revealing little, but doing it with finesse and elegance. While admiring Dr. Miller's turns of phrase, when I finished the book I wondered what exactly I had just read. Though enthralled by the swirl of feathers and witty patter, I had hoped to have seen more. Call me a vulgarian or worse a pornographer, but a little more flesh would have been nice. The relationship between gay men and the musical is a rich one and a more meaty analysis with less post-structuralist/queer theory gimmickry would have been far more satisfying to this reader. But as Miss Electra, of the trio of advice-giving strippers in Gypsy, says: "I'm electrifyin, and I ain't even tryin, I never have to sweat to get paid, cos' when you got a gimmick Gypsy girl you got it made..." Despite Dr. Miller's electric brilliance, the difficult nature of his prose is designed to conceal rather than reveal. Some day, hold your hats and hallelujah, he'll let down his guard and the gimmicks, stop playing to the academic vaudeville circuit (vaudeville IS dead), and strike out on his own to speak in his own voice, which there is too little of in this book. As another former student and avid reader of Dr. Miller's other books and papers, I know "this people's got it and this people should be spreadin' it around...."
Puh-leeeze.......2003-05-02
DA Miller is an old professor of mine, and this book is as insufferably pretentious as is the man himself. Worthless drivel and unexamined claptrap.
The only person stupid enough to say about this book that it's "Barthesian" is Professor Miller himself (who I actually suspect to be the author of the review below...)
Save your money. Save your time. Don't fuel this man's ego any further by purchasing his obnoxious self-congratulatory book. It's a waste of resources that could be spent elsewhere.
Proustian? Barthesian? Ah, no!.......2001-09-02
Many of the readers' comments on this book are highly amusing, but perhaps the funniest is the insistence that Miller's awful writing is Barthesian--that is, when it isn't Proustian! I'm afraid it's neither. Barthes wrote with eloquent precision and clarity. Even in translation, his works are a joy to read. The verdict is in, as the comments below make clear, and it's simply undeniable: the emperor IS naked.
The emperor's clothes are gorgeous.......2001-07-30
The curse of Hans Christian Andersen: Whenever an emperor dares to wear clothes that are truly fine and new, a dozen ... boys will appear at their windows to claim that he is naked.
Miller's finery will outlast the smug japes of those who refuse to see it. His book is a witty, idiosyncratic, deeply original, often thrilling analysis of Broadway musicals and of the gay culture in which they once played so central a role.

Customer Reviews:
The copy I saw was a mis-printing.......2007-06-08
I looked at this book (2nd edition) specifically for a game where Nigel Short marches his king across the board to defeat Jan Timman. I got interested in this because chess teacher Fred Wilson mentioned it in his "Four Fighting Kings" tape (available from fredwilsonchess.com).
It was a real disappointment to see that the book I examined was apparently the result of a printing that went from pp. 481 to 486, then went back to 482 and was missing the first 8 moves of the game!
So I ordered a copy of the first edition.
Games Chosen By Committee.......2007-03-12
"I have played against you both...in my opinion Morphy was the King of all chess players who ever lived and Anderssen, in his prime, was next to him. As for you and the rest of us - oh, we play chess."
--Paulsen to Steinitz, Vienna, 1873
**********
Anderssen has two games in this book. Morphy has none. Morphy beat Anderssen twelve times, lost to him three times, and drew against him twice.
In addition to a faulty selection of games, this book has poor quality binding and paper.
I blame a strange committee process rather than national bias for the authors' omission. The book even acknowledges that Anderssen was bested by "the brilliant young American, Paul Morphy." The trouble is, Morphy's greatest achievements have become less famous than his spectacular quick wins against lesser opponents. A book like this, where the authors chose games for their renown as well as for their quality, has no way of dealing with a player whose great games are not famous and whose famous games are not great. The result is a one-hundred-twelve-game collection that leaves out one of the greatest chess players who ever lived. To set the record straight, I recommend PAUL MORPHY: A MODERN PERSPECTIVE by Valeri Beim.
The Mammoth book has some good commentary on a lot of fantastic games, but the claim made in its title is unfounded and the binding and pages fall apart quickly. Aside from the absence of Morphy, there are too many contemporary games for a book purporting to be a historical overview.
I deduct one star for poor material quality and one for a game selection that overemphasizes the last twenty years while ignoring the player who stood out above his contemporaries more than any other player in the history of chess.
I have noticed reviews by a couple of Morphy bashers. They will probably never change their tune, but anyone who wants to have an informed opinion really ought to read Beim's book on Morphy or at least see the section on Morphy in Kasparov's MY GREAT PREDECESSORS. Why people still judge Morphy based on his wins against weak players is beyond me. Nobody judges Kasparov by his exhibition game against Sting.
Fantastic game collection.......2007-02-28
The authors have put together an excellent collection of great games from the last 175 years of chess history. The book is aimed at the intermediate and advanced player. It starts with a brief introduction to the players and the game for each game and then proceeds to explain and analyze what is happening in the game. It contains the right amount of explanation and analysis to appeal to a wide variety of players and has plenty of diagrams so that the stronger player will not need to have a board and set to follow the action. For the less experienced player, the authors place a aynopsis of the lessons to be learned at the end of the game.
Although the description of the book say 512 pages, it is actually 624 pages. The amount of material, quality of annotation and reasonable price make this a very worthwhile book to own.
Analyzed Games Old and New "want to improve your chess will be good for you!".......2006-11-20
This book contains selected games. Both of the masters of new, old all great which will help your ability to checkmate! One Hundred and Twelve games analyzed games study, alone or with your best buddy. The analysis though not real deep makes is light enough for your mind to keep. Want deeper analysis using games get books by Nunn (Understanding Chess) or by Snyder ("Unbeatable Chess Lessons for Juniors"). They are move by move both fun and the the analysis more tighter. These days when it comes to books with games and good analysis you have many to choose so start reading them all it's no time to snooze.
Now down to real business! "The Mammoth Book" contains a wide variety of games over a long time span by many strong players. The analysis ranging from light to moderate in depth is for an intermediate level to stronger player level. This is not a down to basics level book. I was disapointed only in that the book was made out of really cheap paper and is hard to keep open when using (why four instead of five stars). True, I prefer the "every move commented on approach" used by Chernev, Nunn and Snyder, but "the Mammoth book" is still excellent.
I love the first edition.......2006-09-26
This review pertains specifically to the first edition. I do not have the second edition and probably will not buy it because I will probably never finish learning everything that I can from the first! I really like the book and have learned much so far. The selection of games is very good and that analysis is good. Based upon some of the other reviews here, it may not be perfect analysis, but it is very good. At first I thought that the biographies were unnecessary because anyone who could use this book would know about the players, but then I learned quite a bit there too. A very good book and at a very reasonable price.

Power Agent in Real Estate Review.......2007-06-27
I'm working on my 6th year as a real estate agent and out of all the business books that I've read this one really hits the nail on the head! I started reading the book about 3 weeks ago and it already has had an effect on my business. I've been on 4 CMA presentations and came out with 4 Listings on the same day that I met with the prospects. This book gives samples of dialogues with sellers and buyers, time management advice, goal setting, servicing listings, seperating the serious buyers from the not so serious, and at the same time looking out for your clients best interest. You must read this book to succeed!
Great book for all agents.......2007-03-23
For a rookie agent, this book has reinforced many things I have heard from other agents. It has provided insights and techniques that have already been used by myself and other more experienced agents in my workplace.
New agent info.......2007-03-08
this is a good book for a new agent to read. it has the basic fundamentals needed to earn an income in our real estate industry.If you have been an agent for the past year of more and are not doing these things you better read the book.
GREAT book- worth it's weight in gold!!.......2007-02-03
I thought this book was ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT! I recently attended a seminar with Darryl, and in person he is even better! The man is a genius! If you want to be a Top Producer- read his books, and if possible, go to his seminars- I know I'm on my way! Thanks Darryl- you're the best!! No BUTS about it!! ;)
A Must Have.......2006-05-24
Davis` book is the best I have read and I have read many. The ideas are numerous. I actually carry this book with me at all times to get inspired when I need another approach. I would suggest every serious agent purchase this book.
