When I received this book, a gift for my 17 year old son, I was taken aback at the size and beauty of the book. My son is a big fan of not only guitars and the band Pink Floyd, but also art and photography and the author, Peter Thorgerson. This book has many really neat photos in it from the album covers of Pink Floyd. The color is very vibrant and surreal images make the book well worth the ...             U2: At the END of the WORLD75 reviews Bill Flanagan Delacorte Press, 1995 Outstanding An outstanding work of rock journalism. This is far from a starry-eyed fanboy tribute -- Flanagan is one of the most intellectually gifted rock critics out there, and here he turns his intellect on travel, music, pop culture, his own foibles, and, of course, U2 and their art. Flanagan, one of the first American journalists to champion U2, is a confidant of the band, but it doesn't stop him ...             A Life of Picasso: The Triumphant Years, 1917-1932 (Vol 3)12 reviews John Richardson Knopf, 2007 Kudos to Richardson Mr. Richardson has out done himself on his Picasso opus. He displays Picasso in the light of his work and his influences without fluff and sensation. The book is a pleasant and interesting read sans the dry, academic, and often inaccurate writing of other books on Picasso. He also down plays the sensationalism producing a sensative and revealing portrait of the greatest artist of the twentieth ...             Lullabies: An Illustrated Songbook10 reviews Metropolitan Museum of Art Gulliver Books, 1997 Lush and lovely This beautiful book has gorgeous slick illustrations from the Metropolitan Museum of Art as well as clearly printed piano scoring to accompany the lullabies. It is by far the best book of its kind I've seen. I send it to every new baby on my list and hope it never goes out of print!             Laurie Anderson10 reviews Roselee Goldberg Thames & Hudson, 2000 Monograph template Wow. This sumptuously illustrated monograph has redefined the manner in which monographs will probably be executed in the twenty-first century. How fitting that RoseLee Goldberg, who penned and organized the equally breath-taking "Performance: Live Art Since 1960," has joined forces with maverick Laurie Anderson. Ms. Goldberg not only unravelled the complexity of Laurie Anderson's works, but ...             How to Be Your Own Booking Agent & Save Thousands of Dollars : A Performing Artists Guide to a Successful ...18 reviews Jeri Goldstein New Music Times Inc, 1999 this book helped me get more gigs I really liked how indepth this book is. If you can stand to read it all (it is long), you will have a good understanding on how to approach club owners and others in the music business. I like this book and use it with the Guerrilla Marketing book by Bob Baker and $100,000 in Music by David Hooper to really make my gigs great. Club owners love my group because I come in professional and then ...             Music Business & Entertainment Law Contracts for Indie Recording Artist, Labels, Songwriters, Composers, ...17 reviews R. Williams Platinum Millennium, 2009 wow I bought this book 2 weeks ago and I could not help myself from dropping by here and saying how i use and feel about this book. Basically it is a life saver for me, it cuts the time I use do deals and it's a fountain of information if you don't have an outside source. My thought it ..buy it!             My Face for the World to See9 reviews Liz Renay Barricade Books, 2002 Keep Talkin, Liz! If you "get" Liz Renay, get this book. it's hysterical! She's like a cross between Marilyn Monroe and Penelope Pitstop! Danger seems to lurk around every corner for Ms Renay in her search for stardom--and if it isn't getting her, it's getting her kids! They fall out of second story windows, get attacked attempting to visit her in prison, and even end up stripping with her. Through all her ...             The Munsters: A Trip Down Mockingbird Lane25 reviews Stephen Cox Back Stage Books, 2006 Wonderfully Detailed Tribute To Television's First Family Of Fright Having recently acquired this wonderful book by author Stephen Cox titled "The Munsters: A Trip Down Mockingbird Lane", as well as the recently released Two Seasons of the classic series on DVD, I once again never fail to marvel at this brilliant and totally original series that ran from 1964-66. Part domestic sitcom, part tribute to the Universal Monsters of old, and part satire on the "then", ...             I am Jackie Chan: My Life in Action92 reviews Jackie Chan Pan Books, 1999 Even Better Than His Movies I admit I might be a little biased on this review as I'm a bit of a Jackie Chan fan; however, you don't have to be one to enjoy this book. As one might expect from a biography, Jackie details his life from childhood in an opera academy to junior stuntman scraping by to making it in Hollywood with Rush Hour. Like his movies, Jackie Chan's life is very entertaining. The man certainly packs a lot ...             The Selah Songbook (Piano/Vocal/Guitar Artist Songbook)8 reviews Selah Word Music, 2002 Selah Songbook Selah's recordings always touch the heart, and their arrangements in this lyrics book do, too! We have used several of the arrangements during our morning worship services at our church, and everyone has talked about what a blessing the music is to them. I had very high expectations when I purchased this book, and I certainly have not been disappointed!!             I'll Be Watching You: Inside the Police 1980-83 (Taschen Artists Edition)8 reviews Taschen, 2007 Totally amazing If ever you wanted a cool coffee table book then this one is it!

I am absolutely in love with theater and I love seeing how he depicts all of my favorite shows and actors. He's been through the "Golden Age" of theater and has also done so much work for modern entertainment. I also have tons of fun looking for all the hidden "Nina"s. Just in case you might not know what I'm talking about, let me explain. After ...             The Girl Who Spoke with Pictures: Autism Through Art7 reviews Eileen Miller Singing Dragon, 2008 The Girl Who Spoke With Pictures I met author Eileen Miller in a restaurant in Oregon, and within hours had purchased her book. The Girl Who Spoke With Pictures was an incredible journey in the life of a family who had one daughter with Autism, and one without. Creating a unique balance in her family's ever changing needs, Eileen Miller is a one-of-a-kind woman: wife, mother, teacher, author, friend, and advocate who gives ...             Jerry Garcia: The Collected Artwork8 reviews Jerry Garcia Running Press, 2005 Good condition for an inspiring book of art This is a nice book to own if you want to understand another side of Jerry Garcia, his artistic skills through blissful colors and scenes. Bought this used book for real low price and find his art pretty damn good, a definetive style he creates.             Bee Gees Anthology (Piano/Vocal/Guitar Artist Songbook)8 reviews Bee Gees Hal Leonard Corporation, 1991 Wonderful Collection A great collection -- for Vocal, Piano and Guitar. 43 songs with lyrics and guitar chords/diagrams.

This is one of the best piano books around. Within a couple of days I was playing some really rich and accurate songs. If your tired of lame interpretations of a songs melody line, this book is for you. It is an accurate translation of his songs. Great stuff!             Steady On (The Artists Devotional Series)8 reviews Point of Grace Musical Group Howard Books, 1998 "Steady On" makes your days....steady. Point of Grace's "Steady On" Devotional book is a beautifully written piece of literature. For individuals who may be in a "dry" spell in their walk with Christ, I reccomend you read a devotional from "Steady On" every morning- read it in the morning (do the questions through keeping a journal)and that way you have started your day on a solid foundation. Also, be sure to end your devotional ...             Wayne Thiebaud: A Paintings Retrospective9 reviews Steven A. Nash, Adam Gopnik Thames & Hudson, 2000 'What is America To Me?" Remember that old Frank Sinatra song that served as an inspirational film for rainy day grade school entertainment in the 50's? Well, if there is an artist who has captured the imagination and dreamy reveries of life in the past century, the quieter, more ebulliently committed time to joy and the simple treasures here, that man is Wayne Thiebaud. WAYNE THIEBAUD: A PAINTINGS RETROSPECTIVE is a ...             Enya - Shepherd Moons (Piano/Vocal/Guitar Artist Songbook)8 reviews Enya Hal Leonard Corporation, 1992 a great book! The music in Shepherd Moons is easier to play than Memory of Trees. An advanced player could easily sightread the music; therefore, it is not a challenging book. However, the music is gorgeous and fun to play. I've been playing it every day since I bought the book last week.              search for books 1917-1932, anderson, anthology, applause, business, collected, composers, contracts, devotional, entertainment, hirschfeld, illustrated, industry, lullabies, mockingbird, munsters, paintings, performing, pictures, preprinted, producers, recording, retrospective, songbook, songwriters, successful, thiebaud, thousands, triumphant, watching books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
