Customer Reviews:
Utterly beautiful.......2007-09-07
As someone with an endless interest in Venice, and anything related to it, coming on this book was a feast beyond describing. It brings us La Serenissima's traditional crafts, offers a history of each, and introduces us to their most highly skilled practitioners in the city of today. Heyl's exquisite photographs, and Gregorin's evocative text, make for a book that any Venetophile needs to have, as does any lover of Italy, in general.
Wonderful.......2007-05-13
Superb in every respect- artist selection, photography and text. Almost as good as a trip to Venice. One of the nicest books I have purchased in the last year.
Venice Master Artisans .......2007-01-02
Book provides historical information regarding the history of traditional artisans of Venice. It covers evolution of their respective trades, and provides insight into their development. Book is of high quality with excellent photographs. It is highly reccomended for anyone with an interest in Venice's culture.

very useful, scholarly written and comprehensible.......2006-11-10
The book is very nice. It is a scholarly source to be taken seriously, and at the same time its language and format are comprehensible for an average reader who is not very familiar with the subject.
Based on VERY OLD research.......2005-05-02
Ideas on Byzantine clothing have altered dramatically since this text was written. If you are looking to create an authentic type of garment for yourself, stay away from this book.

Book Description
GrimJack returns to the ever-shifting city of Cynosure, and creators John Ostrander and Timothy Truman reunite to tell the tale! There's a firefight in The Pit and GrimJack is in the middle of the conflagration. His friends at Cadre have hired a beautiful vampire assassin to take him out. How does GrimJack save his neck - and who winds up in possession of Munden's Bar, the nexus of all realities?
Customer Reviews:
Graphic SF Reader.......2007-09-03
The early scoop on Grimjack : how he got Munden's, among other things. Some more great work here. I had been waiting for this for a hell of a long time. Hard to believe that we actually have new Grimjack work. Vampire assassins, and all the other crazy and nasty stuff that happens in Cynosure is again to be seen here, thankfully!
After thirteen years, it hits the ground running........2007-02-07
John Gaunt a.k.a."GrimJack" isn't a simple character to understand. He is as multidimensional as his home city, Cynosure. This tale goes a long way in explaining what went into his makeup. He was the greatest gladiator of the Pit. He fought with distinction during the Demon Wars as one of the legendary Demon Knights. He was a bounty hunter with the Law Killers. He served with the Transdimensional Police. He was Cadre's most efficient assassin.
Through all this he just obeyed orders. He was a weapon that others wielded- no questions asked. It was easier that way. It was easier because he could never forget that the one time he had made a major decision on his own a world, and a woman, had died... People assumed that he was a sociopathic killer without feelings. He wanted them to think that. Yet deep inside he felt it all, all the pain, for that is the price that we pay for human life. It was this that finally taught him that the ends do not justify the means- it merely corrupts them. It was then that John Gaunt resolved that by any god that existed, he would be his own man until he went down to his grave. That's really where the legend started, when he stopped serving the powers-that-be and became a b*stard on the side of the little guys that needed him.
While you don't really need to be familiar with the old series to appreciate this story (as Ostrander points out in his excellent intro) it does revisit and expand much of the old territory. It is completely faithful to the original and well worth the wait. I especially appreciated knowing just how he ended up owning Munden's bar. It is difficult for me to imagine how Ostrander, and co-creator Tim Truman, could have done a better job.
Grimjack Year One.......2006-06-02
Great hardboiled action by Ostrander and Truman works his magic as usual. Fills in some of the blanks of Grimjack's backstory following the Dancer rebellion. A good intro to the series if you're new to Grimjack, or just a regular at Munden's Bar. Check it out.
A pleasant return to some old stomping grounds.......2006-03-15
I really wanted to gush about how great and fantastic this was, and all that jazz.
But, I can't.
I can gush about how it was a great story, well done, though the art was a little too pretty at times - I preferred Truman's less polished stuff on the original series, years ago... but hey. The covers are phenomenal, and the majority of the interior art is balls-on. It's great, but...
The story is a prelude - it takes place before any of the other stories we've seen to date (except for flashback stories, of course.) This introduces John to us, takes him from being a TDP cop to a member of the Cadre, and even has his first ever visit to Munden's.
It's got most of the major characters, somewhere, somehow. It's an excellent story, and it's fun, and that's all that matters.
WELCOME BACK JACK!!!!.......2006-01-08
GRIMJACK IS BACK! .......Well, folks just call him Grimjack, his name is Gaunt, John Gaunt (no...he's no relation to the "War of the Roses" ) Gaunt, is a hard-boiled detective / former police officer, soldier and gladiator who looks like a cross between a swashbuckling pirate and a futuristic private eye with a sword. Like the great pulp detectives Gaunt's adventures take place in HIS CITY, Cynosure, a city intersecting crossroads of several universes intersect, allowing for locales that blend elements of fantasy, science fiction and the detective stories. GrimJack is a gritty anti-hero, often prone to violence The comic features some adult scenes, language and violence. Creator John Ostrander has explained,
"Jack does have morality. He is not in there just to punish the bad guys. He has learned through a hard life that the only thing worth knowing is the truth, and he may kill to get to the truth." Originally the series began in 1983 as back-up stories in another comic book, "StarSlayer," published by First Comics soon getting its own comic, and was published until 13 years ago, never achieving mainstream comic appeal, but garnering a dedicated fan base First Comics folded and the rights have been in legal limbo until NOW! Not only are the trade paperbacks of the original run rapidly being published (in the LEDGEND OF GRIMJACK #1 and up...) but now with GRIMJACK: KILLER INSTINCT. Co-creator and artist TIM TRUMAN rejoins JOHN OSTRANDER for this welcome return.
IT'S GOOD TO BE BACK IN CYNOSURE!.....

Book Description
Most single women have spent an evening doing Raw Cookie Dough Time (after theyve been dumped), and when theyre really desperate, have even dated men from The Recycling Bin (What did you hate about him? You dont remember). But for anyone needing a translation, or just a laugh, Diane Farr offers a whimsical guide to dating vernacular. Some well-known, some newly-minted, these are slang terms for the different stages of love and dating, for body parts and common sexual experiences, and for all the ways of making up and breaking up.
Customer Reviews:
Absolutely Fabulous!.......2003-06-13
I bought a copy of this for all of my girlfriends (and myself) for Christmas and each and every one of them raved about how funny and true it is. I can read through it and either totally identify or know a close friend who does. Diane Farr hits the proverbial nail directly on the head!!!
Fun little book that will keep you smiling.......2003-06-06
Great book where Diane Farr hits the nail on the head with all her nicknames for the guys, situations, and friends in your life. Excellent gift for a girlfriend or someone just recovering from a breakup!
Cute gift...not for women only.......2003-05-24
This is a cute, brainy little book that offers not only insights into being a woman and dealing with men...but also about being a man and dealing with women!

Ghost Of Dragstrip Hollow/The Ghost in the Invisible Bikini (Midnite Movies Double Feature)
ASIN: 0786415754 |
Book Description
During the 1960s, a bushel of B-movies were produced and aimed at the predominantly teenage drive-in movie audience. At first teens couldn't get enough of the bikini-clad beauties dancing on the beach or being wooed by Elvis Presley, but by 1966 young audiences became more interested in the mini-skirted, go-go boot wearing, independent-minded gals of spy spoofs, hot rod movies and biker flicks.
Profiled herein are fifty sexy, young actresses that teenage girls envied and teenage boys desired including Quinn O'Hara, Melody Patterson, Hilarie Thompson, Donna Loren, Pat Priest, Meredith MacRae, Arlene Martel, Cynthia Pepper, and Beverly Washburn. Some like Sue Ane Langdon, Juliet Prowse, Marlyn Mason, and Carole Wells, appeared in major studio productions while others, such as Regina Carrol, Susan Hart, Angelique Pettyjohn and Suzie Kaye were relegated to drive-in movies only.
Each biography contains a complete filmography. Some also include the actresses' candid comments and anecdotes about their films, the people they worked with, and their feelings about acting. A list of web sites that provide further information is also included.
Customer Reviews:
Another great book by Lisanti on the '60s unsung sweeties.......2004-05-10
This is a companion piece to Tom Lisanti's excellent 2001 book Fantasy Femmes. While that book dealt with '60s starlets who appeared in beach, biker, Elvis, delinquent youth, and horror films, this book concentrates a bit more on ladies who graced the beach and Elvis films (with no repeats). For me, a huge admirer of the beach films, that makes for an even more enjoyable read than the first book. Such Beach Party staples as Donna Loren and Luree Holmes are interviewed in depth, while Patti Chandler, Susan Hart, Valora Noland, and my absolute favorite, the Bardot-like Mary Hughes are also profiled.
Like Fantasy Femmes, Drive-In Dream Girls interviewed 20 of the '60s most delightful gals. Those included here are:
Sue Caey (The Beach Girls and the Monster, Catalina Caper); Andrea Dromm (Come Spy With Me, Hit The Surf); Gail Gilmore (Girls On The Beach, Harum Scarum); Laurel Goodwin (Girls! Girls! Girls!); Sharyn Hillyer (A Guide For The Married Man); Luree Holmes (Beach Party series, Ski Party); Suzie Kaye (Clambake, It's A Bikini World); Sue Ann Langdon (Roustabout, Frankie & Johnny); Donna Loren (Beach Party series, Sergeant Deadhead); Vitina Marcus (The Lost World, the Green Lady on Lost In Space); Arlene Martel (Angels From Hell); Marlyn Mason (The Trouble With Girls); Quinn O'Hara (Ghost In The Invisible Bikini, A Swingin' Summer); Melody Patterson (Wrangler Jane from tv's F-Troop; Cycle Savages); Cynthia Pepper (Kissin' Cousins); Hilarie Thompson (Maryjane, If It's Tuesday This Must Be Belgium); Darlene Tompkins (Beyond The Time Barrier, Blue Hawaii); Beverly Washburn (Spider Baby, Pit Stop); Carole Wells (The Lively Set); Lori Williams (Faster Pussycat Kill! Kill!, A Swingin' Summer).
While Fantasy Femmes also profiled 12 '60s sweeties, Drive-In Dream Gals looks at an additional 30 favorites, all longer profiles than the first book. They are: Brenda Benet (Beach Ball, Harum Scarum); Diane Bond (Pajama Party, A Swingin' Summer); Cindy Carol (Gidget Goes To Rome, Dear Brigitte); Regina Carroll (Satan's Sadists, Angels' Wild Women); Patti Chandler (Beach Party series, Ski Party); Nancy Czar (WIld Guitar, Winter-a-Go-Go); Jackie DeShannon (C'mon Let's Live A Little, Surf Party); Jill Donohue (Winter A Go-Go, Nobody's Perfect); Joan Freeman (Roustabout, The Reluctant Astronaut); Susan Hart (Ride The Wild Surf, Dr. Goldfoot & the Bikini Machine); Anne Helm (Follow That Dream, The Magic Sword); Mary Hughes (Beach Party series, Ski Party); Mikki Jamison (Beach Ball, Ski Party); Candy Johnson (Beach Party series, Pajama Party); Marta Kristen (Judy from Lost In Space, Beach Blanket Bingo as the mermaid); Meredith MacRae (Bikini Beach, Billie Jo on Petticoat Junction); Dodie Marshall (Easy Come Easy Go, Spinout); Claudia Martin (For Those Who Think Young, Ghost In The Invisisble Bikini); Jenny Maxwell (Blue Hawaii, Take Her She's Mine); Mary Mitchel (A Swingin' Summer, Girls On The Beach); Laurie Mock (Hot Rods To Hell, Riot On Sunset Strip); Valora Noland (Beach Party, Muscle Beach Party); Angelique Pettyjohn (Hell's Belles, Clambake); Pat Priest (Marilyn on The Munsters, Easy Come Easy Go); Juliet Prowse (G.I. Blues, Who Killed Teddy Bear?); Bobbi Shaw (How To Stuff A Wild Bikini, Pajama Party); Ulla Stromstedt (tv's Flipper, Catalina Caper); Wende Wagner (Out Of Sight, tv's Green Hornet); Debbie Watson (Cool Ones, Tammy and the Millionaire); Venita Wolf (Catalina Caper).
As I mentioned in my review of Fantasy Femmes, most of these lovely ladies had their careers end by the time they reached 30. A lot of that had to do with getting married, having kids, and being expected by society to concentrate on raising their family. Another key reason was the end of the studio contract system by the late '60s. Most of the gals profiled here were contract players at one time or another. With no studio to support them, they often faded away, leaving us to savor their all too brief careers and wishing we had gotten to see them grow in their work.

Incredible planning / problem solving tool.......2007-06-07
Really great reference book for identifying and solving problems, planning and information mapping. Takes several management systems and combines them in a practical, time-effective method for working individually or in teams.
Simple, but not simplistic.......2007-05-06
This book offers problem solving techniques that may be used well in the suggested sequence, and may be used independently, as well. And, of course, each technique employs Post-It Notes.
At first glance, it may seem that Straker's techniques are almost too simple -- simplistic. They are not. In fact, they reflect a deep understanding of the problem solving, and how to profitably involve groups in that process.
The book is short, well-organized, and clear. Reading it cover to cover won't take long and is time well spent. However, you can cherry pick his chapters and still benefit.
My partner and I recently introduced Straker's method (and book) to a client -- a Washington think tank. They were immediately able to reach faster, better solutions that included a broader range of input. They have become, in their words, "sticky note zealots." Well, me too.
Highly recommended.
Rapid Problem Solving with Post-It Notes (Purchased on 11/12/2006.......2007-01-11
I have not recieved the book. I vant you to find out why te delivery is so slow.
Very good tool.......2006-11-07
This is an easy tool to follow the rules for problem solving. It has helped to reduce the time of response in hard difficult working situations. To maintain the level of usage, the students read it for present information in class in other ways, in more understandble way.
Constantly recommending this book to others.......2006-11-03
I'm the author of "Thinkertoys: A Handbook of Creative Thinking Techniques," and other books on creative thinking. As such, I read pretty much everything that's published that can be useful in facilitating creative thinking workshops and seminars. I find the ideas in this book fun,useful and extremely effective. I'm constantly recomending it to people looking for ways to become more creative in their personal and business lives.
