But it is great when it comes to quotes. Behind the Scenes is more in the 2nd volume. This has an excellent array of quotes from seasons 1 and 2(which is what this book covers). It also has pretty good episode reviews, with some deleted scenes usually showing up along with some unknown facts. But it also has some information ...             James Cameron's Titanic314 reviews James Cameron, Ed Marsh, ... Harper Paperbacks, 1997 Titanic Fans Great book for the titanic enthusiasts!!!!! If you loved the movie, you will enjoy this book.             Aiming at Amazon: The NEW Business of Self Publishing, or How to Publish Your Books with Print on Demand and ...111 reviews Aaron Shepard Shepard Publications, 2007 A few flaws, but a phenominal value Initially, I was unimpressed with this book. I thought the cover was amatuerish. And the author gives a couple pages of advice on how to write a great book and how to punctuate properly. But the advice is so brief, it's not worth including. Potential authors need alot more tips than the few included here. On page 64 the author finally gets into how to set up an amazon account if you don't have ...             Halls of Fame125 reviews John D'Agata Graywolf Press, 2001 Judge the book on its own terms Let me preface this by saying I was a classmate of John's at the Iowa Writers' Workshop in the mid-90's. I remember discussing several of the essays included in this collection, and being incredibly impressed with both the work and the author. The time, imagination, detail, obsession, intelligence, honesty and humble nature of both the essays and the essayist should at the very least inspire a ...             The Animator's Survival Kit--Revised Edition: A Manual of Methods, Principles and Formulas for Classical, ...112 reviews Richard Williams Faber & Faber, 2009 It's Really Good It's really good, I read it immediately as I received it and started drawing straight after. It's fantastic.             The Simpsons: A Complete Guide to Our Favorite Family213 reviews Matt Groening Harper Paperbacks, 1997 Perfect book for the Simpsons lover! I originally bought this book for a friend as a birthday gift, and ended up begging him to lend it to me to read myself! This book looks amazing, With tons of information - Each page is filled with facts, jokes and stories about the simpsons episodes and the characters themselves. After reading it, I really wanna rent the whole series again and watch it over and over. All in all, Great book ...             Brokeback Mountain: Story to Screenplay131 reviews Annie Proulx, Larry McMurtry, ... Scribner, 2005 Learning to Write Short Story to Screeplay In an effort to check out my approach to writing a book adaption to screenplay, I thought it would be a good exercise to experience how others have done it. After reading the Brokeback Mountain short story, then reading the shooting script, then watching the film, I knew I was right on target. It is invigorating to experience and understand the progression from story to screenplay to film. The ...             Brothel: Mustang Ranch and Its Women98 reviews Alexa Albert Ballantine Books, 2002 A Classic in Sociology/Ethnography I'm a sucker for books that take me into a subculture I know nothing about and have no intention of visiting, and this exploration of legalized prostitution in Nevada certainly fits the bill. The author originally approached the Nevada Brothel Association in the early 1990s with the aim of conducting surveys of prostitutes as part of a public health study looking at condom use and efficacy in ...             Meta Modern Era144 reviews Her Holiness Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi Srivastava Vishwa Nirmala Dharma, 1997 Truly Eye-Opening One of the most lucid and compelling reviews of our current times - but not just a lofty philosophical discussion, but one that is most accessible and practical - providing answers to the most confusing issues of modern times             The Charlie's Angels Casebook111 reviews David Hofstede, Jack Condon Pomegranate Press (CA), 2000 Charlie's Angels Casebook This is a great book. I'm a huge fan of the series and Farrah Fawcett. It's a great book for fans of the hit TV show,from the actresses profiles to the series episode guide and commentary. Great pictures too!             Star Trek Encyclopedia97 reviews Okuda Star Trek, 1994 Mr. Okuda !!..please update the info at Warp Speeeeed!!!!!!!!!!!! There is an ambiguos feeling buying this encyclopedia...you get amused considering all the gathering info and the format in which it is displayed, but there's also a feeling that living to date, in 2009 (one year before Arthur C Clarke's 2010 !) the value of the mentioned info is, unfortunately, outdated !!. So, if you love Trek and can live with the above explained introduction..go ...             I Am Jackie Chan92 reviews Lung Cheng, Jackie Chan Audio Literature, 1998 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 ...             SuicideGirls: Beauty Redefined82 reviews Missy Suicide AMMO Books, 2008 Everything I was hoping for Bought the book as a gift for my boyfriend and we both loved it. It's the Suicide Girls so you're going to expect something good. Loved how the book was divided by regions with regards to the model's locale and the photos were great. If you already have books or videos from the Suicide Girls this in no way overlaps but compliments your collection. It's the type of book that you'll want to look ...             Within the Frame: The Journey of Photographic Vision65 reviews David duChemin New Riders Press, 2009 Photography from the heart As a newcomer to DSLR photography, I have read quite a few books on technical issues on how to use DSLR specific functions, which I didn't have in my previous point and shoot cameras. Now I felt I was ready to digest books in the field of composition. When reading "Whithin the Frame" I fell in love with the way the author, David duChemin, passionately writes how to get the feeling and essence of ...             The DV Rebel's Guide: An All-Digital Approach to Making Killer Action Movies on the Cheap75 reviews Stu Maschwitz Peachpit Press, 2007 Awesome book I have long known about The DV Rebel's Guide from reading Stu Maschwitz's blog and articles. You can't work in the visual effects industry very long before you run across something from Stu. He is quite opinionated and learned in his field. I can personally say that I have learned much from Stu's wealth of information on the internet. When it came out, I did not have much interest in reading the ...             My Father's Paradise: A Son's Search for His Family's Past66 reviews Ariel Sabar Algonquin Books, 2009 a really great book This is a fascinating book depicting an area rarely discussed and of special interest to Jews in the Diaspora. One of the finest books I read this past year. Bonnie Mitchell Hurwitz             Wall and Piece71 reviews Banksy Random House UK, 2006 Inspirational! Banksy is a REAL artist! My favorite quote from the book: "Any advertisement in public space that gives you no choice whether you see it or not is yours. It belongs to you. It's yours to take, re-arrange and re-use. Asking for permission is like asking to keep a rock someone just threw at your head." Real art should be FREE! Free of conceit, free to let the viewer interpret, free of profit as a motivation and free ...             The Making of Star Wars (TM): The Definitive Story Behind the Original Film66 reviews J.W. Rinzler Del Rey, 2007 Really In depth with details, photos and scripts Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R3NV609HFHDLR3 While this book was published in 2007, it's actually about the making and the history of the first Star Wars movie released in 1977. Considering how much time has passed, it's amazing the amount of material that has been collected for this book. There are twelve chapters documenting the journey from the scripting stage, casting, ...             U2: At the End of the World75 reviews Bill Flanagan Delta, 1996 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 ...             Marijuana Horticulture: The Indoor/Outdoor Medical Grower's Bible86 reviews Jorge Cervantes Van Patten Publishing, 2006 Marijuana Horticultuer: The indoor/Outdoor Medical Grower's Bible Very informative book from the front to the back page.
