Book Description

Dedicated to Whom It May Concern, Don't Let the Turkeys Get You Down is Sandra Boynton's hilarious commentary and 150 full-color drawings identifying the ubiquitous turkey's distinguishing characteristics and most common habitats. Any similarity to actual persons living or in Los Angeles is strictly unintentional, including the stuff on page 54 that will remind many people of Snigbert Knuddsen.

From the turkeys extremely large ego to its arrogant behavior, the traits are classified. Boynton traces the turkey's influence on history, the neighborhood, the family, more. Several profiles in turkitude and a pop quiz further uncover turkeys in the immediate vicinity.

Forewarned is forearmed: turkeys possess absolutely unwarranted and absolutely unshakable self-confidence. They insist on high visibility, and can show up at a party, in an argument, on the jogging path. The reader's best defense is through study of this important manual, keying in on the single most important turkey fact: a turkey never knows that it is a turkey.

hilarious.......1999-04-29

This is the type of book that is necessary after a day of rude bus drivers, irritating cashiers, long lines and bad attitudes in general. There's a turkey for every occasion, atturkey's-at-law, health food turkeys, parent turkeys, guest turkeys that never leave. It's incredible.

Book Description

Pornstar is a mesmerizing, definitive examination of life at the epicenter of Americas multibillion-dollar sex entertainment industry.

When Ian Gittler began photographing porn stars, his intent -- however suspect -- was to glamorize and legitimize their lives and work in the same way top photographers generally portray the porn stars' mainstream Hollywood counterparts. Girder envisioned a celebrity coffee-table book with gorgeous. enticing photography that would provoke a reevaluation of fame in our culture.

But as the author journeyed into the surprisingly accessible "underground" world of porn, his glossy, conceptual approach gave way to one of grim resolve. Gittler couldn't ignore the rapidly accumulating evidence of abuse and emotional disconnect. By the time Savannah -- the most famous XXX film star of her generation -- committed suicide, he felt compelled to address the heartbreak and fragile humanity he was learning firsthand are at tile core of this subculture.

Gittler forged relationships with his subjects that irrevocably changed him, and discovered that the world of porn is not only a product of mainstream society, but a parallel universe where all the challenges of emotional intimacy facing humans at tile end of the twentieth century exist.

Pornstar is all extraordinary marriage of memoir, photography, and investigative journalism; its narrative -- in running text and more than one hundred stunning photographs -- spans more than five years. Pornstar is violent, funny, tragic, and uncompromising: a totally unprecedented portrait of tile men and women -- the stars -- who populate the terrain of America's porn industry.

Customer Reviews:

I wouldn't want this judge on my jury........2007-06-04

This was a sad and interesting book with attention to a lot of small details, but I came away with a sense that the author finds his subjects to be less than human and worthy of little or no respect. There is no sense of empathy here; in fact, there are no feelings at all. In the end, I viewed the author as he viewed his subjects.

Pornstar by Ian Gittler [Hardcover].......2005-09-27

SUPER MINT condition; A SURE Collectors item; Visually Stunning Images; This book is an extraordinary marriage of memoir, photography, and investigative journalism and narration. This book is violent, funny, tragic, and uncompromising - a totally unprecidented portrait of adult stars and the beauty, heartbreak and fragility of their humanity. One of Ian Gittler's best works by far; Thank you Ian, and a BIG SUPPORTIVE THANK YOU to the porn industry. May Freedom of Speech keep your stories alive always.

i paid less than 12 bucks for this book, so it is worth it............2005-07-17

there is not much pic to see in this book. if you read the text, then you will see that the author is constantly around naked porn stars, and a lot of the females were showing him the spread beaver. however, you won't be seeing much skin in this book, despite the fact that he apparently took a lot of pics.

the author is more interested in showing off his interactions with the porn stars. in fact, he was at his proudest when he took savannah to bed. he was definitely protective of savannah, after all he had her, so there was not one single nude or topless savannah pic in the book. moreover, he even stand up for savannah against slash's contention that he and savannah were just friends. the one girl who turned the author down was last heard turning tricks. how sad and ironic.

this book reads more like a journal than a collection of photos of porn stars. i do have to hand it to the author on the equal opportunity front though. i think i saw more penis than vagina. i cannot say i am happy about it, but at least i get to share it with my girlfriend with no reservation. the fact that most of the guys were in the unerected condition didn't hurt either.

Good read, but bad photos........2004-08-19

If you are looking for something to read about the porn industry and the difficult lives that are led by its members, then look no further. This books gives us some insight into a world that most of us will never know. And for that reason alone, the book is a decent read. However, that being said, i would not recommend buying this book. Borrow a friends or go find it at an adult bookstore and browse through it. That is the only way it will be worth your money (by not spending any that is). The photos are pretty boring, and they look like they were done by someone without a lot of photo experience. I feel like i could have done better myself with a digital camera. And the subjects themselves are not all that fun to look at or even attractive. This is not the story of some porn star you love. This is the story of some porn star you may not have seen before, and may not care to see again. In plain english, THIS IS NOT AN EROTIC BOOK.

I Liked It.......2003-11-07

Sure, this is an interesting and entertaining story. I couldn't tell where fact ended and fiction began. I was disappointed, being someone who has been both in front of and behind the camera in the adult film world, because it read more like a Hollywood-style script proposal. Again, I did like the book, but it was a big let down because it read like every other book written about this industry as it played to all the "hot buttons" and stereotypes. I was surprised by a little-know book titled Cut Throat Business because it depicts the real inner workings of this industry. So if you by this book, I also recommend that you by the other too, you won't be disappointed and you'll get a broader picture of this intriguing industry.

Alt poetry to make you sit up and listen.......2006-02-06

I've never had the privilege of hearing Ray read in public but i hear how it sounds in my own head and it's always hard hitting. If 'White Dogs on Heat' from this collection has no effect on you then you must be numb. Quote: "the suicide note that no-one found, the milk white skin on the bloodstained ground, the four year old that heard her screams, a face in the mirror of a frozen dream."
Other favourites of mine include the beautiful 'Hackney Moon' and haunting 'Every Shadow'.
Again the design and photography add to the overall Hollinsworth experience. Thumbs up.

Isn't this what the internet's for?.......2006-02-03

Completely stupid and worthless book. Basically, it fills up 200 or so pages of actual names of pornstars in bold, big font. I'm sorry but I don't need to buy a pocket manual on pornstar names. The web has plenty of sites (such as the Adult Movie Database) that list every skin flick star that you can dream of - for free. The trivia is crap, and the facts are even worse. Example: The male dragonfly's penis has a scoop to dig out other males' semen. Please, don't even CONSIDER purchasing this book. The CD isn't even a saving grace. You could make a better Mix CD yourself, minus the undesirable tunes.

Too little.......2007-02-07

Goes a mile wide and an inch deep. I would rather the same book but each chapter by an expert in that area with a lesson/example.

Easy and Substantial.......2006-06-25

I find this book very easy to read. It is fraught with valuable, profound, substantial insights. It will rapidly acquaintance people who are not yet familar with MBA topics and it will solidify the knowledge of veterans in these issues. So, either way you win. Also, even though this book is intended mainly for service providers (doctors, lawyers), it can be easily extrapolated to any managerial work at whatever stage. Dr Jusuf Hariman, Manuscript Assessor, Fellowship of Australian Writers.

Also serves as great inspiration if you ever thought about doing your MBA.......2005-12-31

The hidden gem in this book, for those of you who don't have formal business education and always wondered whether the MBA was attainable for you, is that this book actually serves a wonderful second purpose. MBA in a Day allows you to "kick the tires", giving you a high-level overview of what you 'should' expect to cover during MBA study. Having read this book, I found the inspiration to learn more; as such I have enrolled in the MBA program where I already completed a masters in IT.

My only issue with MBA in a Day is that I would have loved to have seen a chapter on Entrepreneurship-- which would be relevant to certain MBA-wannabes (like me), as well as the existing professionals (the main audience of the book) hoping to launch their own private practices.

Neverthelesss, Dr. Stralser presents a wide variety of topics (including HR, Organizational Behaviour, Leadership, Ethics, Accounting/Finance, Economics, Marketing, Project Management, IS and Quality Management) in such an approachable way, making seemingly daunting subject matter easy to digest and appreciate.

A definite buy, I am glad I picked up this book.... if you are thinking about doing your MBA, you should too.

Perfect for anyone.......2004-12-11

In my case the book was a great refresher having graduated over 3 years ago with a Business Adm. Major in college.
For anyone unfamiliar with basic business concepts (Theory) this book is a practical & simple guide to learning the basics.
For other's like me it's a great reference tool and refresher if you've been away from the books for a while.
I'm planning to go to B-School this fall and I feel a little more comfortable now- knowing that the material is fresh in my mind.

The book is easy to understand, well written and logically compiled. I would definitely recommend anyone searching for a business concepts book to give this book a shot.
