Save A Forest.......2000-05-04

1,400 pages per volume translates into a lot of felled trees for an out of date manual with tiny print.A quick Web search for the 'Dictionary of Occupational Titles' reveals a bundle of results from online lookups of the DOT alphabetical index to sophisticated software for both the DOT and the O*net which has superseded it.Do that instead and spare the trees.

Book Description

On the 35th anniversary of his death comes the definitive biography of rock 'n' roll legend Jimi Hendrix-by the New York Times bestselling author Charles R. Cross oinciding with the 35th anniversary of Jimi Hendrix's tragic death in 1970, Room Full of Mirrors is the definitive biography of rock 'n' roll's greatest guitarist. Meticulously researched and based on more than 300 interviews with those who knew him best-more than half of whom have never spoken about him before-this landmark book recounts the entire arc of Hendrix's life, from his troubled childhood in Seattle's projects and the early loss of his mother to his struggles against racial prejudice as a young musician and his rapid ascent to the top amidst the swinging London scene, and finally to the apex of his career headlining Woodstock in 1969, with his death occurring a year later.

Great on life. Music not so much. .......2007-08-16

I think for what this book set about to be it's easily "4" or "5." The author wanted to write about Hendrix's life -- almost half the book is before he becomes a rock star. I really enjoyed the scenes set in his early days -- stuff we don't know so much about, like touring the South with Little Richard. However, it seems to me if you write a biography about someone as God-like as Hendrix there should be moments of higher level of stylistic interpretation regarding what exactly his music is.

What Hendrix did was profound. He turned thew combination of Blues and psychedellic rock into something that simply did not exist until then. (Ok, there was Clapton, but. . . no time for qualifiers.) His sound was not just something people listened to. The Hendrix sound is the soul of a world in transformation.

If you read, for instance, "LAST TRAIN TO MEMPHIS" about Elivs's early years, a lot of what the book is about is how this magical swirl of cultural forces in Memphis in the early 50s transformed America. ROOM FULL OF MIRRORS is basically just about the very interesting life of one man who was a big rock star and a great guitarist.

The Premier Jimi Bio.......2007-08-12

If you take the time to read through all of the reader reviews on this book, you'll see a broad diversity of opinion. Charles Cross managed to ruffle more than a few feathers it seems. Without a doubt, Cross dug deeper into Jimi's early years and got closer to the people that were a part of Jimi's formative years than any other journalist.

The criticism that Cross failed to expose anything new about the fame years is valid but ultimately unimportant. The fame years were witnessed, glorified and documented by many and they are somewhat mythical in their presentation of the grandeur that collapsed into demise. But if one tries to understand what drove Jimi to be what he became, all other bios fall short. I remember wondering how this gifted kid could possibly know and breathe the blues as he did. The easy answer was that the lack of a stable childhood and his mother's early death were the source of Jimi's blues and no doubt they were part of the picture. But Cross spells it all out much more clearly and gives the story coherence and resonance. By elucidating the genesis of the genius, Cross manages to do what no other Jimi biographer has accomplished - and that is he brings the roots of Jimi's pain to life and in doing so shows the source of energy that provided his incredible drive. I thank Charles Cross for bringing closure to so many questions that had been swirling in my mind for well over thirty years.

Worthy effort, but misses a lot.......2007-07-14

Cross makes two important contributions: 1) As others have noted, there's a lot of new information about Jimi's early life and the first 100 pages or so give a a very moving picture of his childhood. 2) The book makes clear how important Jimi's Seattle background was to his multicultural outlook, which is what made him willing and able to cross established boundaries more easily than if he had been born in raised in say the South or Northeast.

The rest of the book is fairly perfunctory stuff and Jimi's music is pretty much absent. Cross presents music as something Hendrix only thought about when he tired of cavorting with groupies and assorted low-lifes.

I'm also docking the book a star for not having an adequate bibliograpy.

Amazing.......2007-05-25

This book gives you such a close glimpse at Jimi's upbringing and inner visions and stuggles that you feel one with him. I couldn't put this book down and hope to come across more like this. Mr. Cross does a fantastic job uncovering the life of the greatest guitarist in history.

purple haze.........2007-05-08

a hard hitting look at the legend of Jimi Hendrix..I haven't read a whole lot of biographies of Jimi so I couldn't really compare this to any other biography but I was mesmerized and totally engrossed in this story and the wonderful way it's written..from his hard childhood. to his army days and his breakout as a musical icon..highly recommended..

A Solid Effort!.......2001-05-08

Gilbert Adair, a novelist, biographer, and critic presents a series of eighty essays about the state of culture. He focuses on politics and on the popular and literary arts - cinema, theater, opera, fiction, and visual arts. Though the title might suggest a comprehensive analysis of today's cultural trends, his "surfing" has nothing to do with the Web. Instead, his overview is highly infused with a British literary and artistic sensibility. These essays are perfect for intellectual, cultural connoisseurs. However, recreational readers may find Adair's numerous references to the early 1990s British cultural scene obscure and remote. Adair discusses some American movies and offers some interesting insights, although his writing is complex, even convoluted. The dense essays are packed with literary asides and personal references. We [...] recommend this book to students of modern culture, arts aficionados of an intellectual or Anglophile bent, and those who read everything about the movies, no matter how challenging.

Great book (but it's not hardcover!).......1999-10-14

This isn't so much a review as a correction - this book is a paperback. It's worth every cent though!

Customer Reviews:

No career here........1998-06-23

This book is not for someone who wants a career as a video game designer. The book has some big picture and a huge font. It describes video games, video game player and development on very an basic level. I think this book might be good for kids. If you are trying to get ready for a career as a video game designer do NOT by this book, look for something else.

Great book for dummies.......2007-08-01

I actually ordered the book prior to ordering the program to be sure this was the type program we wanted. The book is simple and straight forward and certainly makes learning a new program simpler. Would definitely recommend only for Quickbooks Pro program only. The instructions do not apply to the basic program.

Way Too Much Detail.......2007-03-19

This is actually one of the most complicated and frustrating "for Dummies" books I've ever read and used...yes, yes, I know what you might be surmising...bah.

The book has huge sections (100+ pages) that discuss in detail a lot of accounting information...and this is where the aggravation comes in...which the author ends by summarizing "...but QuickBooks does all of this automatically for you in the background." Well what the...? He couldn't put this upfront, as in, "Hey, these next 3 chapters are for those of you who want to know what's going on behind-the-scenes".....

I'm a business owner, not an accountant - I would have greatly appreciated a lot more heads-up on what I need to focus on and what I can either skip or wait on to come back to later. I run QuickBooks so I can do the basics myself, but then turn it over every quarter to my accountant to verify everything and handle the taxes, etc.

So, if you run your QuickBooks the way I do so you can focus on growing and maintaining your business, and hire an accountant to double-check your work, I cannot recommend this book. If you love the "for Dummies" series and still want to get this, then just focus on pages 69-245; the rest can wait until you have time or the interest.

Excellent book.......2007-03-19

Very down to earth explanation and facts about the product. Would recommend to anyone using Quickbooks as the program can be challenging at times.

Not Only About the Software but Good Business Sense.......2007-03-03

This is one of the better 'For Dummies' books that I've read.

To be sure most of the book is exactly what you would expect. It's a complete introduction to the QuickBooks accounting system. Being a 'For Dummies' book the othewise rather dry how to use a computer are livened up with a bit of humor here and there. I appreciate this as it tends to help me from going to sleep.

It's the extras in this book that make it easily worth the money, in fact possibly worth several times its cost. The author is a CPA. He has seen what really happens in the business world, and once in a while he provides a simple rule or two. For instance, 'Sign all your own checks.' Simple rule, but it tends to keep people honest. Another rule, 'Review canceled checks before your bookeeper does.' Obvious.

Then there's the discussion on fixed and variable costs vs. revenue. If your rent doesn't go up, selling just a little bit more can yield substantial increases in profits.

These are things that you just don't see in the normal how-to computer book and once again, could be worth far more than the cost of the book.
