Product Description

Graphic novel, text and illustration, this is an homage to and parody of old childrens' fairy tale books, with a good measure of detective story and crime movie.

Book Description

That stammer. Those basset-hound eyes. That bone-dry wit. There has never been another comedian like Bob Newhart. His comedy albums, movies, and two hit television series have made him a national treasure and placed him firmly in the pantheon of comedy legends. Who else has a drinking game named after him? And now, at last, Newhart puts his brilliant and hysterical world view on paper. Never a punch-line comic, always more of a storyteller, he tells anecdotes from throughout his life and career, including his beginnings as an accountant and the groundbreaking success of his comedy albums and The Bob Newhart Show and Newhart, which gave him fifteen years on primetime television. And he also gives his wry, comedic twist to a multitude of topics, including golf, drinking, and family holidays. Today, Newhart appears on Desperate Housewives, in hit movies such as Elf, and in theaters around the country. Reruns of his shows air constantly on Nick at Nite -- have recently been released with great success for the first time ever on DVD. With this book, Bob Newhart gives his millions of fans a first ever opportunity to sample his unique brand of humor -- including excerpts from some of his classic routines -- on the printed page.

entertaining book.......2007-09-25

A quick read. Very entertaining. I had listened to the CD and wanted to read it. Thoroughly enjoyable.

Very funny read.......2007-09-23

This was a very funny read from Bob Newhart. He tells the story of his
life in short interludes which put together a picture of a man at peace with himself and the world. His humor has always made me laugh, some-
times loudly and this book did the same thing.

I shouldn't Even be Doing This.......2007-09-19

Not a rib splitter. But a good, relaxing read. Lots of fun stories about Newhart and his celebrety friends. If you like Newhart's sense of humor, you will like this book.

Okay read.......2007-07-05

I didn't read the ad carefully when I purchased this product. Even though we thought it was an album of Bob Newhart's comedy routines we enjoyed listening to the book. It was a 3 CD book and we enjoyed alternating this book with the other audiobooks we had purchased.

Disappointed.......2007-06-22

I like Bob Newhart, but this book was not as good as I was hoping for. It was not a quick read.

Book Description

Take it from the narrator of this book, an all-knowing big sister: when you're a baby you don't read books. You eat them. You don't know how old you are, or even if you're a boy or a girl. And you have to keep a special plug in your mouth to stop your scream from coming out. But one day, you won't be little anymore, and then you'll be taller and smarter, and actually quite clever. Like the narrator. And you'll be able to share memories of what it was like when you were little with your incredible Big Sister.

Fun Book.......2007-09-17

I bought this book for my 5-year-old granddaughter who has two little brothers and will be big sister to another baby soon. I know she'll be able to identify with the girl in the book. Reading this was fun for me too - some pages made me laugh out loud. It's exactly what a big sister would say and think, even about such things as messy diapers. I think this book will become a favorite for the child who receives it.

My five year old loves this book!.......2007-08-25

I have a 5 year old daughter and a 15 month old boy. He, of course, gets all of the attention.

We checked this book out from the library and after reading it I had to buy it! It is a MUST have for any older sister who has a baby in the house. It is a light-hearted look at what babies can and can't do compared to the much more mature older sister. Not only is it cute, its truth is downright funny and had us all laughing out loud!

Humorous and Fun!.......2007-07-25

This book is delightful! There is much to laugh at, much to love. I've shared it with my 3-year-old granddaughter, who will be a big sister come September. She was much intrigued by the great art work, and I could tell it helped enhance her self esteem, as well.

Fabulous!.......2007-07-20

My new favorite children's book! Such a fun, light-hearted look at being a big sister. My five year old daughter and I giggled out loud when we read this the first time from the library. The writing is right on level with a child's sense of humor, but fun for adults to read as well. This one I have to have for our permanent collection.

right on target.......2007-06-14

This book is wonderful for children who are expecting a little brother or sister. My grandaughter wanted to read it over and over again and it displaced some of her fears. The book was Right On.

I am only a quarter of the way through this book and I LOVE it. I literally laugh out loud at least every other page. He has a wonderful gift for descriptiveness.

a wonderful read.......2006-06-16

I bought 5 copies of this book and could use 5 more. It is a great book to give as a gift to a friend or favorite family member. Tim's essays and stories really hit a cord with me and made me smile, something I don't get to do as much as I would like when I am reading. I highly recommend this book and look forward to the next book that he comes out with. I bet he would be a hoot to sit down and have a drink with!

A must-have for Father's Day!.......2006-06-12

Tim O'Shea is a wonderfully authentic and original comic voice. Self-deprecating to a fault, and relentlessly astute, he sees the absurdities of modern life as clearly as we all wish we did. This book is a great gift, with broad appeal.

A delightful behind the scenes look at TV and Film .......2005-05-13

Garry Marshall is a true gem in Hollywood. He is a beloved and respected producer/director/writer/actor who never takes himself too seriously to appreciate life and his family and friends. In his own humorous way, Garry tells his story from his humble beginnings to his incredible career in TV and film. He has worked with some of the top actors in Hollywood and it is a total delight to read about the behind the scenes making of HAPPY DAYS, MORK AND MINDY and LAVERNE AND SHIRLEY along with his films BEACHES, FRANKIE AND JOHNNY, NOTHING IN COMMON and PRETTY WOMAN. Garry tells it like it is and doesn't hold back when talking about actors and studio executives. He also admits to his fondness for nepotism. Good timing and luck put Garry in the right place at the right time and he shared his good fortune with his sister Penny Marshall by helping launch her career. The book is filled with insight and revelations. Garry's anecdotes are too humorous to miss. How did they come up with the famous opening for LAVERNE AND SHIRLEY? How did he come to cast Robin Williams and Pam Dawber in MORK & MINDY? Despite budget restraints, Garry was able to create a very memorable opening for Bette Midler in the film BEACHES. It's fascinating to read how Garry created some of our most beloved TV shows and films. When a problem arose with a production, Garry found a solution. He never hestitates to admit to his failures and mistakes and never fails to give credit to others who have supported him. WAKE ME WHEN IT'S FUNNY is inspiring and a great motivator for anyone trying to aspire in any field...not just TV or film. Garry's honest and down to earth insight will leave the reader wanting more.

Up there with "Harpo Speaks" for all-time feel-good bios!.......2003-10-27

This book is a joy! Garry Marshall is a fine writer of jokes for stand-up comedians of yore, sitcoms &, apparently, of full-length show biz autobiographies. He discusses his life in an extremely entertaining way. His asides - about moviemaking, camerawork & tips on the directing/producing process - are enjoyable for everyone, not just aspiring filmmakers. There are (truly) laugh out loud sections as well (Two Words: Kathi Wathi)...this is a man who seems to live his life with passion & decency & drive, ALWAYS with the added bonus of humor. Yes, he dishes the "dirt" about his celeb peers, but in a completely non-malicious way. Best of all, here's a man who accomplishes much but doesn't take himself too seriously. Good-humored, good-hearted, crisply written & hilarious. Can't recommend this book highly enough!

Garry is my directing God!.......2001-08-09

Pretty Woman has been my favorite movie since I saw in in the theater at the age of fifteen and since then Garry Marshall has been my favorite director. But Garry proved what a great person he is when I attended a book signing for this book back in 1995. I was only twenty, and pretty much the only young woman in line. Most of the people in line were young men giving him treatments, which really disgusted me. But when I finally got up there I just stared at him, the first thing he said to me was that I was very pretty, so I started crying like the girl that I am. He held my hands and just smiled at me, and I told him that Pretty Woman was my favorite movie and thanked him for making it and told him that I wanted to be an actress, so he signed my book "Andrea a very Pretty Woman here's hoping you Happy Days as an actress." that made me cry as well:) His daughter Lori was also very sweet which just proves what a great dad he is as well.

As for the book, of course it's fabulous! You get to learn behind the scenes info on, of course Pretty Woman, but all his other shows and movies as well. His sense of humor cracks me up, especially when he overheard someone talking about Exit To Eden saying "That movie was so bad he doesn't deserve to be Penny Marshalls father!" I laughed SOO hard at that. Not to mention that you can't help but love a director who thanks his wife at the end of every one of his films.

I recommend this book to anyone who wants to know the ends and outs of the entertainment industry from a vetern who knows what he's talking about!:)

I Want A Sequel.......2000-10-12

A most amazing book about a most amazing man. Follow Mr. Marshall's assertive and generally hilarious approach to breaking into the world of comedy writing - and beyond. The book is a bit of a family affair (forward by sister Penny Marshall, and co-authored by daughter, Lori) chronicling his often hysterical trek from an allergy-laden childhood to the life of a very successful actor, writer, producer, and director. I've had the unique pleasure of meeting this man in person, and he truly is as determined, grounded and compassionate a man as this book reflects...all with that sparkling sense of humor!

A fine person.......1999-11-30

I used to think I was in love with Garry Marshall because of his films and sitcoms, but now it's because he's truly a fine person. Read the book and I think you'll agree. If you're a screenwriter thinking about writing for sitcoms, this should be required reading. I'm more of a spec writer, so I just enjoyed the stories and laughs. This is a story of one of the most successful people in Hollywood and more importantly, a good father, brother, son, and grandfather.

A witty book...helps you learn something about the everyday workings of your body!.......2006-03-19

Recently, I conducted a spring cleaning of my personal library & found a number of interesting books which I have totally forgotten about.

This is one of those books. Here, in this one amazing volume, are answers to those puzzles about the human body. The author, a medical doctor by training, explains through plain language the sometimes funny, sometimes surprising & always uncommon organic reasons for our most common bodily sensations. For example, as reflected in the book title, Why doesn't my funny bone make me laugh?

It's a witty & yet informative book. It illuminates other dark mysteries about the ice cream headache, sore throats, heartburn, butterflies, goosebumps, tickles, among many other unexplored bodily sensations. Also whimsically illustrated.

Have fun with this book, but please, don't use it for diagnostic purposes. If you feel concerned about a funny feeling you're having, consult a doctor immediately!

Book Description

Humor has always been an essential part of North American aboriginal culture. This fact remained unnoticed by most settlers, however, since non-aboriginals just didn’t get the joke. For most of written history, a stern, unyielding profile of “the Indian” dominated the popular mainstream imagination. Indians, it was believed, never laughed. But Indians themselves always knew better. As an award-winning playwright, columnist, and comedy-sketch creator, Drew Hayden Taylor has spent 15 years writing and researching aboriginal humor. For Me Funny, he asked a noted cast of writers from a variety of fields — including such celebrated wordsmiths as Thomas King, Allan J. Ryan, Mirjam Hirch, and Tomson Highway — to take a look at what makes aboriginal humor tick. Their hilarious, enlightening contributions playfully examine the use of humor in areas as diverse as stand-up comedy, fiction, visual art, drama, performance, poetry, traditional storytelling, and education.

EXCELLENT BOOK ON YOUTH CULTURE AND MINISTRY.......2007-03-28

If there's ever a time when this book and its message need to get out to youth ministers, it's today, with the "emergence" of emerging churches.

It's time for Eerdmans to update and print a second edition of this book reflecting more recent trends.

This is must-reading for everyone involved in ministering to and educating adolescents.

the "stuff" on the youth side of the generation gap.......2001-02-21

"To be able to fill leisure intelligently is the last product of civilization." - Bertrand Russell

This book was written by five professors from Calvin College who teach in the following disciplines: communication arts and sciences, English, history, music, and philosophy. I picked it up after listening to a tape by Howard Hendricks from Dallas Theological Seminary, who gave it a fabulous recommendation. After reading it, I would have to do the same. This book gives it's own statement of purpose better than I would be able to - "In short, our thesis is that youth and the electronic media today are dependent upon each other. The media need the youth market, as it is called, for their own economic survival. Youth, in turn, need the media for guidance and nurture in a society where other social institutions, such as the family and the school, do not shape the youth culture as powerfully as they once did" (11,12). This book is now ten years old and it is outdated by some standards, but it's only ignorant in naming the newest forms of the influence it speaks so perceptively about.

The focus of this book is on the critical evaluation of the music industry, the music television industry (MTV), the film industry and the impact they have on the teen population. It's chapters plod much deeper into these issues than I'm able to do here without opening a can of worms, but their insight is invaluable. Being twenty-five years old, I learned as much about myself and the influence of the media on my own life as I did about the media itself.

This book suggests that we have today is a "generation gap" that has been created by the media. Youth have been isolated from the more traditional worlds of previous generations, their parents included. The promise of the media is that of intimacy, identity, meaning and guidance, but the teens pay a price. Today's youth have a greater feeling of disillusionment, boredom, fatigue, addiction, abuse, narcissism and suicide than ever before. Cultural distinctions have been blurred and distant images have taken the place of intimate relationships. The youth today have a culture all their own. The media tells them what music rocks, what clothes look good, what to say to their girlfriend/boyfriend and what are good goals to shoot for in life. However, the media must evolve at a breakneck pace to keep up with teenagers because teens are fickle. The media must constantly reflect the youth culture in order to continue upholding it. It is a reciprocal relationship that pours gasoline on the fire of our consumer driven culture. Teens buy more music and watch more movies than the rest of the population combined even though they only comprise about one-fifth of the population. Why? Largely because their emotions are unstable on the journey from childhood to adulthood and our consumerist society has thought it good to capitalize on the opportunity to make a buck.

I found this book to be a great level-headed approach toward the media from a Christian perspective. Obviously film, music and other forms of electronic media have value if used correctly and intelligently. We must make the effort to separate the wheat from the chaff using discernment and analyze the content, form and function of popular art so we can truly benefit from it in it's rightful context. Instead of bashing what teens place great value in, this book suggests asking the question, "What is it in the media that tries to meet the legitimate needs in teens?". Kids have real needs, and the better we understand them and the better we understand how the media tries to meet those needs, the better we will be able to reach and serve the teens.

For Christians with brains only.......2000-04-11

These five profs from Calvin College address the complex web of youth culture and the electronic media from a Christian perspective laced with compassion, intelligence, and thought-provoking perception. They are not going to stand up -- like so many other evangelicals -- and lambaste youth culture for its excesses, bad taste, foul language, etc. (though they don't look kindly at these things, either); instead, they seek to see WHY such things appeal to youth, honing in particuarly on our culture's institutional SEPARATION of youth from adults. Very provocative and level-headed. Highly recommended for Biblical thinkers who want to grapple with what is going on in the heads of young rockers and video-philes.

I bought the game with the strategy guide, and the game
was really cool,but the strategy guide was a worthless piece
of garbage.Dont buy the strategy guide,just read the instruction booklet if you want to get info on the game.Trust me, you will
get more information of the instruction booklet.

This book is worthless.......2000-10-14

It's nothing but a rewrite of the manuals that come with the game, it contains no useful information or strategies at all. An utter waste of money.

Worthless POS.......2000-06-22

This "guide" (if it deserves to be called that) is entirely worthless. "Wow, it shows all the cars!"---Who cares? They are sorry pictures anyway and the "information" on each car doesn't explain diddly squat. "But it tells you how to build the ULTIMATE WEAPON!"---Well, there is no Used or New Mazda RX-7 GT-X that costs 6,740 Credits. This piece of junk doesn't earn its title "Strategy Guide", at most it earns the name ONE BIG POS! Take this advice and don't buy the THING that has Prima's name on it. The people who invented GT2 shouldn't have to be disgraced to see this ignorant interpretation that Prima calls a "Strategy Guide". Besides, at 15 bucks a pop, it is clearly to high. I made an awful mistake buying this THING, so please, don't screw yourself over. If you are considering buying this THING, I BEG you DON'T!

Makes a good wedge for my lopsided desk.......2000-03-11

As the majority of the reviewers have stated, this book is basically worthless. 90, count 'em, NINETY pages that contain nothing but blurry side-view pictures of the basic cars plus their HP rating and base cost. NOTHING about any of the special cars you can win. NOTHING about what the hop-up parts can do for them. Just basic information that you can easily get in the game.

The "guide" begins with a very basic walkthrough of all the License tests, explaining things like "Drive smooth," "don't crash," and "go fast." Honestly, if you haven't figured out how to get through the tests after running each one a time or two, you should probably go back to playing "Pole Position" on an Atari 2600.

The "guide" ends with some useless wireframe (WHY! ) views of the tracks, most of which are done at a 3/4 view. Let me repeat: useless. There's a token 2 pages at the very end that reference adding aftermarket parts to your car to improve performace.

The BIGGEST sin of this piece of trash, in my eyes, is the fact that other than one sentance it makes NO mention of the Arcade disk. No commentary on how to open the hidden tracks. No list of what cars are released in Arcade mode by winning races in the Sim mode. Nothing.

Prima's "guides" have never been very good. They've always been light on real info, and heavy on parroting stuff that's already in the game or manual. But this is just unexcusable. Even the guide for the first Gran Turismo had a little useful information in it. This has NONE. The "authors" (and THAT'S a REAL stretch) ought to be ashamed to have their names on this tripe. The only reason it gets one star is because I can't give it ZERO or a negative amount.

Consider yourself warned. If you purchase this book, your mama raised a fool.

It's a dud!.......2000-02-24

Unlike the strategy guide for GT-1, this book totally misses the mark. Poor car pictures and little valuable description. Nothing in here to aid the player in setting up cars. Don't waste your money--better information is available on the internet for free.

This racing game extraordinaire for the PlayStation lets you take the wheel in 160 different cars--and this book can help you take the checkered flag with every single one of them. The guide starts out with a brief glossary of racing terms and moves on to a basic, racecar driving tutorial. Prima's guide describes every car in the game--from the feisty Honda Civic to the Aston-Martin DB-7. The book also explains the game's three license tests, which determine the races you can enter and the cars you can drive. You get the background on each of the seven simulation mode championships as well as the game's 11 different tracks. At the back of the book, you'll find an invaluable section on customizing and tuning your cars; you will need this information to get the most out of them. --Michael Ryan

Don't waste your money!.......2000-02-02

This book has almost no useful information in it. It lists all of the regular cars you can buy, but none of the special cars you can win. Advice on driving the tracks is marginal. Worst of all, there is almost no strategy, so the title of the book is very misleading. I was hoping for some advice on what cars to start with, most effective modifications per dollar, and a suggested order to proceed through the races. Instead, the strategy suggests what car to buy at the beginning then tells you to add performance parts (no, it doesn't specify which ones) as you win money. PLEASE don't buy this book. You can find far more useful information for free online.

GT is just a super game with lots of strategy and skill required (just try passing the advanced license tests).

But "Gran Turismo : Prima's Official Strategy Guide." is essentially content free. I would not recommend it to anyone -- what a shame. Such a good game and such a lame strategy guide ..

question.......1999-11-23

I would gladly pay money or trade my memory card with someone or pay for it , but I badly need a memory card with the A and Intern. A licence daata on it . I had enough trying for it , so please help me out !

learn how to drive.......1999-10-09

gt is a simulator not a game. if you know how to drive a car, you shouldnt need a strategy guide. heres a good strategy for you all, drive fast and win the race.

missing tons of information.......1999-09-28

Gran Turismo is unarguably the best racing game in existance. But this hint book is missing scores of information. I mean where's all the info on the LM cars you get from winning courses? I wanna see what kind of cool cars I can win, like the Del Sol LM and the Silvia LM. And the descriptions for modifications aren't even all that good. This guy addresses some of the cars as if 400 hp is good... where does it say you can hit over 250 mph with a Supra, or that you can squeeze 941 hp out of a Skyline? Nice try, but with all the information that isn't there, this book can't tell you much more than the manuals that come with the game and isn't worth the paper it's printed on. I'm glad I borrowed it from a friend instead of buying it.

Good for the average Joe.......2003-07-19

I bought this series of books for the people at the office. They are easy to understand and pretty much anyone learnt something new. This book is not for computer geeks.. Too basic for you...
