5 out of 5 stars The Cutting Edge in Artist's books.......1999-12-20

The Huberts have produced a rich and incisive study of the new artist's book, dealing with the many varieties of verbal/visual interaction being practised today. It also doubles as a reference book for anyone interested in how book artists produce their texts. Granary did a great production job as well.

        From the supplier: The modern CEO has to wear several hats in order to be truly effective. A corporate leader has to don the technology hat, the finance hat, the human resources hat and several other hats. The CEO also has to wear a real estate hat because real estate is becoming an important element of corporate strategy. Although a real estate strategy is not the only important factor in the corporate strategy, such strategy cannot underestimate the importance of the real estate strategy. A number of factors are making real estate crucial, including globalization, technological innovations, hypergrowth, human considerations, accountability and the need for speed. The modern CEO has to manage real estate as an asset and understand how real estate can support the business.

        5 out of 5 stars Great Pre-Fables fantasy/comedy.......2006-12-31

        Proposition Player was a pre-Fables miniseries by Bill Willingham and artist Paul Guinan, about a card player in Las Vegas employed by a casino to go in and liven up dull poker games. Years of such employment have honed his card playing skills, if not his attitude towards his friends, his coworkers and his girlfriend, and he dreams of nothing more than making a big splash on the professional poker circuit and leaving his current life behind. One night, in a drunken bar game, he winds up buying over 30 people's souls for the price of one beer each. He thinks it's a lark -- until the forces of Heaven and Hell alike show up on his doorstep trying to get the souls away from him.

        This book is a really good comedy -- imagine the funnier parts of Garth Ennis's Preacher stretched across six issues. Our hero, who never even believed in souls, finds himself not only in possession of several, but responsible for them, specifically for providing them with an afterlife. And what's more, if he isn't prepared for them, their method of death can really screw things up for them afterwards, as his friend who gets eaten by an alligator can attest.

        Willingham does some of the art in the first chapter himself, but the rest comes from Guinan, whose style flows into Willingham's flawlessly; you never notice the change in pencillers. I'm biased, I know, because Willingham is one of my favorite authors, but this is still a really funny book.

        5 out of 5 stars Excellent book!.......2006-04-30

        Since I'm only buying graphic novels, I found Fables and Bill Willingham. This book of his kicks [...]! Seriously a fun read. It takes the whole poker craze to a new level of fun. The art is really good and crisp as well assuming that's what you like. It's well worth the buy.

        4 out of 5 stars Bill Willingham does "Small Gods".......2006-01-18

        I've been a Bill Willingham fan since he did "Elementals." I have the "Ironwood" graphic novels (and even the RPG!), and am currently reading "Fables."

        Anything by Willingham is bound to get a good rating from me, but I only give "Proposition Player" 4 stars because honestly, I'd rank it below any of his other works. It's not bad (in fact, I liked it), but it's not nearly as clever or well-written as most of his other stuff. You can certainly see some of the themes we've seen in his other works recycled here, though, particularly his humorous/highly cynical depiction of the heavenly host as being just another mercenary gang of celestial power-brokers.

        I called this review "Willingham does 'Small Gods'" because the basic storyline reflects the cosmology in that Pratchett novel, which is now a common fantasy/RPG trope: that the power of gods is directly based on how many worshippers they have... or in "Proposition Player," on the number of human souls they are able to collect. Thus, in this graphic novel (actually a reprint of a limited series published several years ago), Joey Martin, a smalltime card player in Las Vegas, accidentally becomes the custodian of three dozen human souls as a result of a bet, and instantly becomes a celestial powerbroker. Of course he's a very smalltime powerbroker, with only three dozen souls compared to the billions controlled by heaven and hell, and both those factions immediately try to put the squeeze on him to get him out of the soul-collecting game. But Joey hooks up with some of the has-beens of the celestial realm, pagan gods who were long ago eclipsed by the dualistic powers of heaven and hell, and begins building his stake....

        "Proposition Player" is a fun read with a rather implausible (even giving the basic premise) ending. Taken as an absurdist tale, it's funny and worth reading for any Willingham fan. I didn't think the cosmology hung together particularly well (the "rules" under which souls and those who gather them operate seemed to be made up to suit the purposes of the plot at any given time, and in some cases, merely to provide a punchline). None of the characters, from the Archangel Michael to the diabolical temptress working for hell to the gods Anubis and Moloch, were fleshed out very well. Even the main character, Joey Martin, didn't have much of a personality. I found the most interesting characters in the book to be Hugin and Mugin (Odin's ravens, if you don't remember your Norse mythology), who played only bit parts.

        So, if you like Bill Willingham, or Terry Pratchett, or any tale about feuding gods, you'll probably like "Proposition Player." If you're looking for some of Willingham's better work, I'd recommend any of the comics I mentioned at the beginning of this review.

        5 out of 5 stars Great Story.......2006-01-05

        Bill Willingham, in my estimation, is currently writing the best comic on the market in "Fables." And it is my affinity for that series which drew me to read "Proposition Player" and it certainly did not disappoint.

        The story centers on the protaganist Joey Martin, who after a long night of proposition poker play, offers to purchase a co-worker's soul in exchange for one free beer. Upon hearing Joey's offer, 31 additional people agree to the deal just proffered.

        The story takes off from their as Joey must decide to sign over his souls to either heaven or hell or take an even bolder step, keep his souls and enter the biggest game of all, the afterlife game. Both humorous and insightful, Willingham weaves the story through afterlifes of various faded religions as well as our physical world. Along the way, Joey is meets several faded deities willing to aid him in his afterlife dilemna, while being hounded by emissaries of heaven and hell.

        "Proposition Player" is one of the more original and well written graphic stories I have read. I recommend it to all, be they a comic book fan or not.

        5 out of 5 stars HUGELY RECOMMENDED!.......2004-11-16

        I read about 3 books a week and this book has made me think more about what I believe than any book I have ever read. It's basically about what could possibly happen if someone decided to start buying the souls of the athiests everywhere in the world and paying them good money for them.

        Imagine the philosophical questions that arise from the premise of this book!

        Do we truly own our own souls? If so, can we sell them? If we can sell them, what are they worth and what can someone else do with them? Do we have to be dead for them to use them or do they have dominion over us already? Is there power to be gained for ownership of souls???

        So many questions, so few answers.

            Book Description

            In 1995, British artist Matthew Ritchie embarked on an extraordinary undertaking: he set out to tell the story of everything, from the Big Bang onward. His tale was to be told in paintings and drawings through a core group of 49 characters drawn from sources as diverse as mythology, quantum physics, alchemy, gambling, biblical tales, and pulp fiction. With Proposition Player, Ritchie's first major solo museum exhibition and accompanying catalogue, his narrative has reached a "climax, collapse, and crisis"--the story has morphed into a game and Ritchie has created a veritable information casino. Accompanying the paintings and drawings for which the artist is internationally known are works in new media, including a 100-foot-long three-dimensional drawing, an interactive craps table with digital animation that invites viewers to roll the dice for the future of the universe, an enormous rubble floor mosaic that invites viewers to walk into the heart of the piece, and a deck of cards featuring Ritchie's cast of characters.

            4 out of 5 stars giddy with narrative.......2006-04-02

            Matthew Ritchie creates colossal semi-abstract paintings and installations, generated (somehow) by a complicated set of undergirding narratives, which are populated by characters which personify religions, archetypes, and scientific theories. Pretty heady stuff, and the essays in this book make valiant attempts to cast some light on Ritchie's project, with varying degrees of success. Maybe not clarifying (ultimately), but always compelling.

                          The first section of this book features three epic accounts of voyages to see wrestling in the United States, from the ECW Arena to the Dallas Sportatorium by way of WWF pay-per-views and Memphis television.

                          The second section comprises more than 40 articles, some previously unpublished, including histories of British and American wrestling, the statistics behind WCW's collapse, and a disgraceful allegation about Tommy Rich.

Mixing travelogue, humour, fiction, history and opinion, this collection brings together the best of his work from the past fourteen years. The first section of this book features three epic accounts of voyages to see wrestling in the United States, from the ECW Arena to the Dallas Sportatorium by way of WWF pay-per-views and Memphis television. The second section comprises more than 40 articles, some previously unpublished, including histories of British and American wrestling, the statistics behind WCW's collapse, and a disgraceful allegation about Tommy Rich. Note: This is a revised 2nd edition, with a new cover design, new page design, lower page count and a lower retail price. However, the content of the book is unchanged from the first edition.

                          5 out of 5 stars He lived the dream, so we wouldn't have to.......2006-06-23

                          As the cliché goes, Slamthology is a book of two halves. The first section is a travelogue, detailing the kind of adventure every wrestling fan has dreamt of many times, only to brush it aside as some sort of crazy fantasy. Not John Lister, who from his English home, embarked on a series of American road trips, taking in all manner of shows, sights and smells.

                          Through his comprehensive, always hilarious journal, Lister details everything that happened; the insane travel schedule, taking in numerous wrestling shows of varying quality and size, hanging out in Terry Funk's backyard, even making a cameo in a movie, and much more.

                          The writing itself is tremendous, the author has a real flair for humour, and as such, it's impossible not to picture the events in your head as you're reading. Even though travelogues by their nature don't have a regular narrative per se, this is genuinely a real page turner. The passion the author has for the business leaps from the pages, and one can't help but get caught up in the ups and downs experienced at the time. Anyone who has called themselves a fan of professional wrestling at any point in their lives will find themselves extremely jealous, although the writing is so great, that readers will feel as though they were there anyway.

                          The second half of Slamthology is a collection of articles the author had written for various publications throughout the years, from fanzines, unpublished diaries, and even from a mock GCSE exam paper. While these vary in subject matter and quality - some coming from a time before Lister 'smartened up' to the business - the author's trademark wit and insight is present throughout, and there's not a bad or unentertaining piece of writing to be found. As the articles chronologically move closer from the author's teens to the present day, there's a clear evolution from (admittedly very well written) fan-fantasy dream booking, to genuinely fascinating pieces of sports journalism.

                          Buy this book and be entertained, enlightened, and to be able to live vicariously through the author, who lived the dream. Three times.

                          4 out of 5 stars What A Long, Strange Trip It's Been.......2006-06-22

                          When you here the word "passion" being tossed around about fans, John Lister and pro wrestling should immediately come to mind.

                          The book is a collection of published and unpublished pieces from the author who resides in England. The first part chronicles several trips he and friends made over the pond to watch a variety of live shows and attempt to interview wrestlers. The second section is shorter pieces that covers a wide variety of subjects in fiction and opinion.

                          The insights are great and will leave the reader laughing about the "fear and loathing" travails & recall a variety of storylines and personalities that may be buried in the archives of ring history.

                          Please beware that there are no footnotes (it would possibly double the size of the book), so some of the material may be lost on readers who don't have a background in the industry dating back to the early 1990s. Numerous typographical errors also makes the text very rough at times.

                          But there are few opportunities for fans to read about the industry from the perspective of the times. While this book is not the place for a fan to start, it will be one that should end up in the collection at some point in time.

                          4 out of 5 stars Not the complete screenplay.......2004-02-18

                          This being one of the most beautiful and inspiring movies of the last two decades, there are probably few people who haven't seen it at least once. For anyone interested in its background and the history of Native Americans, this book is a good starting point. However, it does NOT contain the complete screenplay. All of the important scenes are there (though stage directions are kept to a minimum), but a large part of the rest is told in prose narrative. Since there is no other publication of the screenplay around (the large hardback edition from Newmarket Press has the identical abridged version, plus photographs, minus the interviews) this can't be helped, but anyone buying this book should know they won't be getting the whole thing.

                          4 out of 5 stars Things I liked about the book.......2004-01-08

                          I thought this book "Dances With Wolves" was a great book. It cought my attention quickly watching the movie. I would prefer the movie over the book because I like movies better. Although The book has much more details.

                          5 out of 5 stars Enjoyable to the end!.......1999-05-27

                          My husband and I both read your book and loved it! We couldn't put it down. Enjoyed every minute of it. The movie and the book were both great! It will be a family favorite in our house for years to come.

                          5 out of 5 stars Tearbreaking and heartfelt.......1999-02-07

                          I read this truly great novel after seeing the screeplay. The novel is really rich in detail and emotion. I usually never feel this way about litterature but with this novel it is quite different. I can only recommend this masterpiece for everyone to read. I also began reading about the Indians and I now have a fascination for them.

                          5 out of 5 stars EMOTIONAL, INTENSE, AND HEARTWARMING.......1998-06-01

                          I bought this book after the movie came out and I've never regreted it. If anybody even remotely likes the movie, then they'll absolutely love the book. It gets so in debth about what he is thinking and feeling that you can't help but cry at the end just like the movie. So far I've probably read Dances with Wolves at least 20 times.

                                  I am in the process of researching the correlations between the current real estate market, the fed funds rate and the stock market. I strongly believe that we are going to see some very bullish activity in the stock market over the next 2 years. I see some strong simularities between the year 1997 and 2006. Please let me know what you think of this money movement strategy. I originally read about it in a book by the late Charles Givens. The author may have had some problems with his other ideas, regarding car insurance, but I think this strategy really makes sense and we should pay more attention to it.

                                  I have a website where I am including free infromation about this and other wealth ideas. http://www.nobodytosomebody.com



                                  5 out of 5 stars A great book, ignore the misinformation........2006-03-29

                                  More Wealth without risk was published in 1991. I read it for the first time in 1995.

                                  Those who familiar with his books and the cases which were filed against him know that the people who sued him late in his life did not follow the strategies outlined in his books.

                                  My only regret is that I did not pay attention to the Investor's decision line when the stock market crashed in 2000. I lost half of my 401k due to that oversite.

                                  2 out of 5 stars Advice from a ghost.......2006-02-18

                                  Don't the reader/reviewers of this book realize that Charles Givens settled numerous fraud lawsuits against him and his orginization in the early 1990's? And, oh yeah.....he died in 1998, three years before the book came out. This is just his family/publishers cashing in on outdated advice.

                                  5 out of 5 stars This is one of those books I keep coming back to every few months.......2005-12-19

                                  I really like the nuggets of very practical wisdom contained in this book. No way would I do everything Givens suggests (I'm a little conservative at times), and some things are a tad dated, but much of the book is really worth doing and some are timeless principles or at least worth keeping in mind. Very straightforward and upfront, and a bit daring at times. I find myself coming back to his clearly stated strategies and either implementing them or reading up on current views of issues he brings up. Easy to read and remember principles (I have used several with good results) give this book 5 stars in IMO.

                                  5 out of 5 stars Common sense but not common knowledge!.......2005-09-27

                                  A lot of what the late Mr. Givens discloses in this book is just plain old common sense, but it is not common knowledge and unfortunately, it is not common practice!

                                  Despite the advantages of buying no-load mutual funds, some people still insist on paying their brokers a fee. As Givens used to say, "You can't be splitting your money with everybod else and expect to have much left over for yourself." Paying commissions will cost you an easy 4% everytime you buy and everytime you sell.

                                  Likewise some people are stuck on the "buy and hold" mentality. How many people took a beating since March 2000 when the markets crashed? Had you followed Givens Money Movement Strategy you would have been out of stock funds and into money market funds and then bond funds.

                                  Givens used to have a mantra that went like this:

                                  "When interest rates are low, stocks will grow but when interest
                                  rates are high, stocks will die."

                                  Interest rates where moving up thanks to Greenspan and that was the signal to move out of stocks and into money market funds as per the Givens Money Movement Strategy. In More Wealth Without Risk, Givens shows a historical chart going back to 1979 and proving that everytime interest rates went up, stocks went down and vice versa when interest rates went down.

                                  Unfortunately, most people were following a different strategy and I know many people personally who say all of their accounts are still bleeding red.

                                  Givens makes a strong case not to buy (w) hole life insurance. The kind of insurance where your money goes into a hole. Ditto for other forms of cash value insurance. Suze Orman gives the same advice.

                                  Givens also shows how you can drastically reduce your car insurance by as much as 50%-65%. Reduce taxes by 50% plus and more.

                                  One area of concern is Givens advice to use leverage in the form of margin accounts. It can work if you follow Givens strategies to the tee ala The Money Movement Strategy, but some people I know did not followup on the advice.

                                  Likewise, Givens recommends that you use your home equity to invest in real estate. Fair enough, but some i nexperienced people may buy "fixer uppers", end up with negative cash flow in a property they cannot rent out or sell without a large amount of investing in improvements. Robert Kiyosaki also recommends this. It can be and is a safe strategy if you know what you are doing and carefully inspect the properties you buy.

                                  Borrowing from your 401 (k) to fund your IRA is a great strategy as long as you limit your investments to mutual funds and use the Money Movement Strategy. Not recommended for buying penny stocks or even a hot stock tip from a friend or even a broker. As Givens used to say, "the reason these guys are called brokers is because they are usually broker than you are!" How true!

                                  Some of the advice is outdated. Perhaps the Givens Organization now known as IAS Financial can have a new, updated edition published. Obviously Mr. Givens who passed away over 7 years ago is still very popular.

                                  Nonetheless, a very good book and highly recommended. I also recommend Suze Orman and Robert Kiyosaki. Two other great books are The Millionaire Next Door and The Richest Man in Bablyon.
