Typical of Ben Katchor's recursive, compact style, The Beauty Supply District is actually the title of three distinct entities: this collection of over 80 installments of his 8-panel comic strip "Julius Knipl, Real Estate Photographer" (appearing in The Forward and other weekly papers); a new, 24-page story with which Katchor concludes; and the subject of that final story, a commercial district on the edge of Julius Knipl's imaginary, melancholy Gotham. In the beauty supply district, the city's aesthetic needs are catered to by businesses like Synthetic A Priori Corp., Surface Meaning Refinishers Inc., and the Senseless Elaboration Parlor.

That might be a lot to digest for anyone new to Knipl's wistful, chiaroscuro world (the first two collections of this strip, Stories and Cheap Novelties, might prove more accessible). But Beauty Supply District captures Katchor's strip at the height of its form--from semi-professional gravediggers competing at the Cemetery of the Expired Coupon Redeemer to the chance discovery (at a drug store, naturally) of how production of cheap writing instruments has far outstripped the demands of poetic inspiration.

New York Times Review of Books critic Edward Sorel called Julius Knipl, Real Estate Photographer "perhaps the most original comic strip since ... 'Krazy Kat' more than 80 years ago." Enthusiastic and deserved praise, but all the more reason that--to understand and appreciate something this unique--you really ought to see it for yourself. --Paul Hughes

Book Description

Join Julius Knipl, Real Estate Photographer, on a leisurely stroll past The Institute for Soup-Nut Research and The Municipal Birthmark Registry. Savor the smell of a phone booth, circa 1961. Sign up for a guided tour of the oldest continually vacant storefront in America. Attend a championship grave-digging competition, or, should you feel you've wasted yet another day, you can check in for help at a local Misspent Youth Center.

In "The Beauty Supply District," a new twenty-four-page story, Knipl attends an evening concert and unwittingly enters the world of wholesale empathizers and chiaroscuro brokers who make the decisions critical to the production of aesthetic pleasure in all its forms -- from the shape of an olive jar to the score of a string quartet.

Darker than expected.......2006-12-11

This is my 2nd compilation of Knipl - the first being the "Evening Combinator". Once again, we're taken on a tour of mysterious urban setting that seems equal parts WWII-era New York, and another city mourning for the first - at once the ghost of a city and its beloved survivors. Artist Katchor deftly etches his cityscape using tragic camp - postcard artists who depict unloved streets that nobody will visit, semi-professional gravediggers, a man who seems to own some huge industrial facility on an island in the south pacific, losers who answer wrong numbers at pay phones and the obsession that men have with cafeteria buffets.

I may have been overdosed on Katchor's Knipl Camp, but something about "Beauty Supply" left me wanting. Earlier stuff like "Combinator" had their darker side, but were also balanced - Katchor sketched a city that was terrifying, depressing and yet oddly inviting, populated by characters who seemed victimized at the same time as being inspired. Here, the accent is on the dark and defeated, and the result is unsympathetic - as if his characters had grown more than tired by their own dark jokes. It's Katchor & Knipl, yet not at their witty best.

Beautifully strange.......2004-08-02

"Comic" is inadequate to describe the vehicle for the art and genius of Katchor. Left me giddy and disoriented at the beautiful strangeness of the world of Julius Knipl. Brilliant.

excelsior!.......2004-02-15

Julius Kniple is the love child of Bruce McCall, Jules Feiffer, and Zippy the Pinhead.

Breathtaking!.......2001-09-02

Ben Katchor's work is unique. He notices all the things that otherwise go (undeservedly after you see his work) unnoticed. His humor is on a par with the best of all media: Keaton, Chaplin, Fields in films, for example. His artwork brings to mind Herriman & Holman. His text is as inventive as Kafka. No question about it, the guy's a genius, yet always enjoyable & entrancing.

Knipl's apotheosis.......2000-06-11

The third bound installment of Ben Katchor's "Julius Knipl, Real Estate Photographer" series finds his lonely observer at quite a distance from the simplicity and candor of "Cheap Novelties". Complex, arcane, and beautifully detailed, "The Beauty Supply District" represents, at last, a finely tuned rendition of Katchor's altogether fantastic and fully fictional Gotham. Arguably less accessible than "Cheap Novelties" or "Real Estate Photographer Stories", (I would suggest that the uninitiated read one of the aforementioned books first) it's a satisfying read for this Katchor fan, and it certainly will be for those who appreciate the moves he's made in "Cardboard Valise" and "Hotel and Farm". Katchor has sacrificed some degree of empathy in grounding Knipl increasingly less in "the actual world" but the allegories he creates in its stead are delights to be picked apart, and like a stranger's obscure promotional cap, ruminated over. The narrative that closes "Beauty Supply District" may be a sly metaphor for the real-life loss of New York City's individuality amid the burgeoning stampede of chain stores and attendant homogeneity; whatever the perspective, those 26 pages read like a warts-and-all requiem for an imperfect yet more people-oriented time. Alas, when the narrative's pretentious art fiend character makes a fateful purchase with no thought to aesthetics, the past, with its valued individuals and labored attention to detail, seems to be dealt a near-fatal blow. I can't wait to read it again and, like Knipl himself, discover what I've overlooked. Maybe I'm all wrong. That's what I love about it.

Don't get mad, get even!.......2003-10-11

I borrowed this book from a friend and loved it. It's a great way to get them back when they call right in the middle of dinner or any time of the day. This book is a sure way to bring you lots of laughs. I loved it so much, I going to get myself a copy.

Brilliant ways to take revenge.......2002-01-05

Telemarketing should be banned, but because consumers are virtually powerless over businesses before the law, this book offers some brilliant ways to take revenge.

Now, each time the phone rings and I see 'Unavailable' on my Caller ID (sure sign of a telemarketer), instead of cringing I can't wait to pick up and get even!

The book has some brilliant ideas and encourages more creativity too. My favourite is to wait for the telemarketer to give you their whole story in one breath, as they always do, and then pretend you didn't hear any of it and have them repeat it.

Scripts and Directions for Aspiring Actresses and Actors!.......2001-12-18

Mr. Harris has taken something unpleasant, receiving an unsolicited telephone call to sell something, and turned it into a source of humor and acting practice! As I read this book, I found myself laughing out loud on almost every example. These are very funny suggestions!

"A solicitor! Yuk! What to do, what to do? Be polite? Get angry? Meekly hang up?"

"No, no, no! Be creative and enjoy yourself!"

If you are like me, you would probably never do any of these things, but just reading about them is a lot of fun. The 50 funny ideas are rated by how difficult they are to implement. You also get tips for variations, ways to have even more fun, and extra credit suggestions. At the end of the book is also some practical advice for steps you can take to stop getting these telephone calls in the first place.

Reading these scripts made me feel like I was watching a vaudeville act.

In many of the variations, you pretend to be someone you are not, such as . . . the order line for a telephone sex service, the telephone operator at a big company, an uncaring 14 year-old, someone who ssssttttuuuuuutttttttteeerrrrrrssssss!!!!!, a hard of hearing person (what did you say?), a security person (what's your password?), or someone who doesn't get it.

The more hilarious ones for me were the ones where you pretend to be the music on hold, recorded messages from the telephone company, and your own answering machine!

"Although not 100 percent reliable, they are humanity's best hope for combating obnoxious phone solicitors."

I could see turning this into a parlor game for parties. One person could pretend to be the obnoxious solicitor, and the other person could practice describing how the person being called had just dropped dead. I wonder . . . do you think Regis is available to do this on television?

After you enjoy lots of good laughs with this fine humor book, I suggest that you do think about what defenses you might use that you feel comfortable with. I find having the Internet on our main phone line at key times does a fine job of blocking out these calls, easily and effortlessly!

Where else could a frustrating occurrence be a source of invention and humor for you? How about filling out humorous replies to solicitations from direct mail companies? Or leaving ridiculous messages when the receptionist at the doctor's office puts you on hold for 20 minutes?

Then, turn it around. How could you make the solicitations that you need to make fun for the people who receive the solicitations (whether for charity, volunteer work, or whatever)?

Sphinx in a time machine.......2003-01-20

This beguiling work opens with the statement, "Hegel is not a philosopher". As we go further we see this is to mean that Hegel is expressing the perspective of Absolute Knowledge, in the echoes of the Hermetic tradition. This book is a bit of a tour de force, although perhaps unsettling to those who inherit the Hegel reshaped in the nineteenth century by the Young Hegelians and others, indeed by the reticent stance of Hegel himself whose interest in Bohme and Eckhart, and early contacts with Rosicrucianism, the Masons, and study of a host of occult and theosophical subjects, tends to be factored out of his biographies. This component of Hegel's philosophic odyssey might never meet the approval of an age of science, yet the context is important to an understanding of Hegel's sources and development, and also on the grounds that much that is obscure clarifies at once if seen in this light. In fact this analysis hits the spot. Too much logical bandwidth is wasted on a sort of logical positivist recoil at the glyphic Hegel. Seen in this light, he is another man entirely and can be taken on his own terms, and with a proper caution that the seeker with a mystic triangle argument stands in ghostly shadows near the dialectician hoping to explicate a law of history (read Left Hegelian, Marxist). It is important to know what you were up to!
Very well documented text, with good historical snapshots of this side of Reformation history, made to disappear from most philosophic treatments of Hegelian subjects.

Hegel as Theosophist of the Rose in the Cross.......2001-12-15

Professor Magee has added a crucial dimension to our understanding of Hegel by showing in abundant detail the deep and life-long influences of hermeticism, alchemy, the Kabbala, and various forms of theosophy (the ancient wisdom) on Hegel's metaphysics. He quickly dispatches the absurd idea that Hegel was primarily a hermeneute and that he was not 'really' interested in hard-core metaphysics, and he further distances Hegel from the postmodern displacement that would reduce him to a negative genealogist of finite self-consciousness (e.g., in Julia Kristeva's reading of "negativity" in Hegelian consciousness via the later Freud). Combining close historical studies with internal categorial analysis, Magee exhibits the power of Swabian mysticism and its correlary, local pietism on such Hegelian ideas as: 1) the self-return of the absolute from its own concentration and condensation in the realms of finite reciprocity, 2) the reconstructed Aristotelian idea that all selves contain potentia of the fullness of absolute Geist in a mirroring relationship, and 3) the doctrine of dynamic internal relations that permeate the manifest cosmos. The "Phenomenology of Spirit," so often seen as a detached "we" consciousness of the regathering of shapes of self-consciousness (gestalten des Selbstbewusstsein), is thought theosophically as an initiation ritual in which the individual self shatters its provincial illusions and prepares to become a true Adept on the edges of absolute knowing (das absolute Wissen).
Hegel scholars will especially appreciate Magee's detailed treatment of the way the concept of "aether" functions in Hegel's "Philosophy of Nature" as a primary background meta-material substance (hints of Paracelsus and Bohme here), which has dynamic and life-generating potencies in the four elements (earth, air, fire, and water understood in the classical Greek sense). Further, Magee's analysis of the "Earth Spirit" opens up a dramatic vista on the mythos underlying Hegel's understanding of messmerism, telepathy, and the earth-like unconscious (shades of Heidegger's earth/world struggle).
For those who came to Hegel through French phenomenology, Protestant theology (e.g., his conflict with Schleiermacher), analytic philosophy ("what was Hegel's epistemology and did he really beat Kant at his own game?"), or Heidegger's destructuring of the opening gambits of the "Phenomenology," Magee's hermetic approach will provide a far more historically accurate and balanced perspective on the mystical and robustly metaphysical heart of Hegelian dialectic. The rose in the cross is an image that Hegel uses in "The Philosophy of Right" to balance his reconstructured Lutheranism with his commitment to the pansophia found in the Rosicrucian Movement (toward which he had friendly relations). Magee gives us a Hegel that Hegel would have recognized on the spot, and we are much in his debt for his doing so.

Hegel the Occult Thinker.......2001-09-04

This new study of Hegel by Glenn Alexander Magee is a brilliant piece of work on numerous levels. Those who have been daunted by the language of Hegel's philosophical system, or who find it otherwise obtuse and impenetrable, will do well to reapproach him from Mr. Magee's perspective. Unfortunately Hegel's name has furthermore been tainted from his later appropriation by the political "Young Hegelians," most famous among them Karl Marx. This has probably caused some to look askance at Hegel as a thinker whose ideas eventually lead to marxoid Gulags (one can see a similar negative type of effect in the world of music, when some folks cringe at the sounds of Richard Wagner, since Hitler was a Parsifal fan).
Mr. Magee's book forces a radical new reading of Hegel, and one that is very much at odds with the materialist or politically motivated interpretations that have been commonplace for over a century. Here the argument is offered that Hegel was, in fact, thoroughly immersed in the Hermetic Tradition, and his "speculative philosophy" is a discourse of mystical conceptions about man's relationship to the divine. The book is clearly written and Mr. Magee states his case with precision and a fascinating wealth of evidence, circumstantial as well as internal. This is not only an illuminating study of Hegel (and you will never look at him the same after having read it), but also an informed explication of the core ideas of Hermeticism, as well as a history of its proponents throughout the centuries, especially in the German speaking lands. Not just a book for philosophy scholars or students of German Intellectual History, it has much of value to offer anyone interested in Hermeticism and its ramifications in the larger world of Western thought.

Hegel the Initiate.......2001-07-19

Glenn Magee's HEGEL AND THE HERMETIC TRADITION begins with the audacious assertion that "Hegel is not a philosopher"--and then proves it. Hegel is not a philosopher because he does not claim to pursue wisdom, he claims to actually be wise--and he claims that in becoming wise, he has brought God's own quest for self-knowledge and self-actualization to fruition. This, Magee argues, places Hegel in the "Hermetic" tradition that runs from the CORPUS HERMETICUM of Greco-Roman Egypt through alchemy and Kabbalism to modern Rosicrucianism, Freemasonry, and other occultist strands of thought. Magee offers three kinds of evidence for his claim. First, he shows that Hegel adopts the essential Hermetic teaching that God attains self-knowledge through the Hermetic initiate's knowledge of him. Second, he shows that Hegel read and was influenced by Hermetic thinkers, particularly Jakob Boehme, throughout his intellectual development and mature philosophical career. Third, he shows that Hegel was interested in such loosely Hermetic topics as alchemy and paranormal phenomena. The book begins with a survey of the Hermetic tradition, with special reference to the German tradition and Hegel's intellectual milieu. Then Magee devotes a chapter to Hegel's early writings, a chapter to his PHENOMENOLOGY OF SPIRIT and one chapter each to Hegel's discussions of Logic, Nature, and Spirit. The evidence presented is overwhelming. The scholarship is magisterial. And the book is beautifully written. Indeed, it is the best-written book on Hegel I have ever read. Beyond that, Magee's thesis is revolutionary in its implications. If he is right--and I am convinced that he is--then all contemporary accounts of the nature and development of Hegel's thought are inadequate at best. This book is destined to take its place alongside its model, Frances Yates's GIORDANO BRUNO AND THE HERMETIC TRADITION, as one of the classics of intellectual history. It will be read by philosophers, historians of ideas, and would-be Hermetic adepts, and by anyone who wants to expand his imagination by discovering how rich and strange Hegel's thought really is. To top it all off, Cornell is to be congratulated for the book's tasteful design and beautiful production.

Found the Dilbert Shuffle Game.......2005-09-30

Finally, after looking for a year or so, I located a very good condition of Dilbert Corporate Shuffle. I have not played the game in several years but can now teach it to others. It is a great game with friends.

awesome.......2003-01-22

this is one of my favorite games of all time. i have 2 copies of it so that if i ever lose one i'll have the other as a backup. i have played it with a wide variety of people, even groups that don't speak english (i had to do a lot of translating), and the concensus has always been the same - lets play another round!

Dilbert Corporate Shuffle: Card Game.......2002-12-27

I currently own a copy of this card game. Its a great card game to play with your family, friends, and co-workers. We play this card game quite often. The game starts out with everyone drawing a card from the deck to see who has the lowest numbered card so that the starting positions may be determined. The person with the lowest numbered card starts out as "The Big Boss", the second lowest as " The Junior Boss", then come the "Workers", then "The Senior Intern" and last "The Junior Intern". The order of the chairs stays the same for each round. Only the people move to their new designeted positions after each round based on the order of who got rid of all their cards first during the round. The first person out is the new "Big Boss", the second person out is the Junior Boss" and so on. During the play a half-dozen special cards maybe played that can turn your corporate world around including at the start of each round when someone may declare a Corporate Takeover,(One player has been delt both of the games only wild cards). You'll have loads of fun with this game. The only problem is that this game is no longer being made. It is difficult to find but not impossible. Amazon.com.... Good-Luck

Hours of fun!.......2000-01-22

"Corporate Shuffle" operates under the principle that life is not fair, especially in the world of Dilbert. Based on the game "The Great Dalmuti", players take turns playing cards in an effort to overthrow the president--not an easy task considering she has the best cards! The potential for competition, strategy, and silliness is high in this fast-paced game for 4-6 players.

Book Description

Postfix is a Mail Transfer Agent (MTA): software that mail servers use to route email. Postfix is highly respected by experts for its secure design and tremendous reliability. And new users like it because it's so simple to configure. In fact, Postfix has been adopted as the default MTA on Mac OS X. It is also compatible with sendmail, so that existing scripts and programs continue to work seamlessly after it is installed. Postfix was written by well-known security expert Wietse Venema, who reviewed this book intensively during its entire development. Author Kyle Dent covers a wide range of Postfix tasks, from virtual hosting to controls for unsolicited commercial email. While basic configuration of Postfix is easy, every site has unique needs that call for a certain amount of study. This book, with careful background explanations and generous examples, eases readers from the basic configuration to the full power of Postfix. It discusses the Postfix interfaces to various tools that round out a fully scalable and highly secure email system. These tools include POP, IMAP, LDAP, MySQL, Simple Authentication and Security Layer (SASL), and Transport Layer Security (TLS, an upgrade of SSL). A reference section for Postfix configuration parameters and an installation guide are included. Topics include:

Basic installation and configuration
DNS configuration for email
Working with POP/IMAP servers
Hosting multiple domains (virtual hosting)
Mailing lists
Handling unsolicited email (spam blocking)
Security through SASL and TLS

From compiling and installing Postfix to troubleshooting, Postfix: The Definitive Guide offers system administrators and anyone who deals with Postfix an all-in-one, comprehensive tutorial and reference to this MTA.

Customer Reviews:

Good book, unfortunately not the best in the field..........2006-12-08

I've got all three books in the field, and this is a good book. Unfortunately, although Kyle's book was co-written by the author of the software, I believe that "The Book of Postfix: State-of-the-Art Message Transport" by Ralf Hildebrandt is a better choice.

A very good book about Postfix.......2006-02-19

I wasn't looking for esoteric information on how to administer Sendmail. I was looking for a book on Postfix and that's what the author provided. I got the book based a lot on the quality of O'Reilly books and the editor's reputation. Andy Oram is a top notch editor. I recommend this book to any Linux or UNIX person wanting to substitute Postfix for sendmail. Postfix is a drop in replacement for systems configured for sendmail but Postfix is not a monlithic program with lots of vulnerabilities. The author expalins that perfectly.

Good reference guide for PostFix.......2005-04-26

PostFix is a replacement mail server, MTA, for Unix based systems that
formerly used Sendmail or other variants. PostFix was written to be a
drop in replacement for Sendmail but with it's own variations on control
files.

This book outlines most of the common issues in dealing with setting up
PostFix. The author takes the reader through the design concerns outlined
by the author of the program, Wietse Venema, who wrote the forward of the
book.

Sendmail has been a staple of the mail delivery world but it has a well
deserved reputation for being hard to setup, administer and understand.
The O'Reilly book on Sendmail is at least 3 times as large as this book.
There is alot to learn about its' macro language and using M4 to build
control files. Sendmail is a very hard program for a beginner to
understand and configure properly.

The author spends the first few chapters discussing how a mail server is
supposed to work; how the DNS system interacts with the mail system. There
are well laid out block diagrams to show the flow of email through a
system. Any SysAdmin who has spent time administering a mail system can
probably skip the first few chapters. Those who are new to running a mail
server should find the begining chapters enlightening.

PostFix mostly uses easy to read control files that don't require processing.
The program can be set up to use the Unix standard mbox delivery format or
the newer maildir format. The book explains the pros and cons of the 2
storage formats both from the MTA perspective and the pop or imap
interface.

Most of the more common configuration tweaks used in securing a Sendmail
system also apply to a PostFix installation. They are just easier to set
up in PostFix with the examples provided.

The book has a section devoted to setting up secure mail relay using the
Cyrus SASL libraries. It details setting up the password database via the
Unix standard or shadow format, SASL, LDAP PAM or MYSQL formats. The
author discusses ways to further secure the connection by using TLS
connections to ensure passwords are not compromised.

PostFix has some built in anti-spam tools. The book has a chapter devoted
to to pros and cons of the various approaches. Examples of "reasonable"
and "paranoid" approaches for setting up PostFix are provided. A simpler
apporoach than jumping directly into Spam Assassin or other
spam pre-processors

Mailing lists are another feature that PostFix can manage. The book has
examples of various simple ways of setting up mailing lists short of
installing a separate program like MajorDomo. This is a handy feature.

There are Appendixes intended to walk a user through the compiling process
which will help users not familiar with using Make. There is a listing of
the PostFix parameter commands and what they all mean.

PostFix the Definitive Guide is a well written, easy to read step by step
instruction book for using the PostFix mail server. Using this book as a
reference, an experienced SysAdmin should make the transition from
Sendmail to PostFix without much trouble. For someone new to the world of
MTA's, the book should answer most of the questions associated with
getting a PostFix mail server up and running.

This is another O'Reilly book that should be on a SysAdmin's bookshelf.

Not what I was expecting.......2004-12-17

If you're looking for a comprehensive guide on setting up a Postfix mail server, then this isn't the book for you. For those that are already familiar with setting up MTAs, the information provided in "The Definitive Guide" is probably enough, but this book only covers a subset of the Postfix configuration parameters and does not provide the step-by-step instructions that many people may be expecting.

This is a great book........2004-08-14

After over a month of trying to get my first email server up and running using the try a setting, see what happens method, I finally gave up and bought this book. Now I'm in business.

Everywhere I read, people claimed the easiest to configure MTA was postfix, so that is why I began to use it. True, the documention on the website is helpful and so are the included examples, but if you don't have the concepts down, that is useless.

Thats where this great book comes in. This book isn't just a paper copy of the online docs, unlike most other computer books. It explains what stuff is, does, and what it means. I can read the config file just fine, I just don't know what the settings do. For example, the online docs showed how to setup masquerading and examples, but never told me what that meant. From a newbie standpoint, the masquerade meant the same thing as an alias. Well, those words mean the same thing. I need the vocabulary from the book to help me understand. Conanical is a common work in computer land? Maybe in Silicon Valley but not in NJ.

A glowing chapter is DNS and e-mail which more than pays for the entire book. Not only to I understand DNS better, I can setup a backup mail system. Another great thing is the author shows you an entire setup zone file in one chunk, instead of line by line explanations and never showing you the whole thing put together. DNS and Bind book anyone? For shame.

Also, The Hosting Multiple Domains is a fantastic chapter.

Anyways, if you are lost and feeling like and idiot like I was, get this book. Thanks Mr. Dent for a fantastic book that is clear and easy to understand.
