Scorsese became one of the greatest Artists of the 20th... And Ebert knew it from the beginning
One thing Ebert shares with his subject is burning passion. Ebert has reviewed films for over 40 years while Scorsese has made films for that long. What has sustained them is a passionate love of movies. Ebert called it from the beginning and Scorsese fulfilled his early promise. From Mean Streets to Taxi Driver, from Raging Bull to Goodfellas, From Casino to The Aviator - Scorsese has forged ...

MUST BUY
To say that this book saved my life would not be an overstatement. I was diagnosed with Crohn's Disease nearly three years ago at age 23. The doctors put me on Remicade (which I stopped breathing during an infusion), Entocort (steriod - so can't take that forever), and Pentasa (which made me throw up for a week and a half straight - couldn't hold down even liquid meal replacement shakes). This ...

Great resource to improve score
I used this book along with the Real ACT book, the McGraw Hill 10 Practice Tests, and Sparknotes Guide to the ACT. I found that this books was one of the more helpful ones. The strategies given are insignificant, as it is a conflict of interest. This book's value is attributed only by the 3 practice tests. The three practice tests are exactly the same as you would see them during test day. ...

Great book
Great recipes for homemade ice cream, and easy to follow instructions. Definitely a MUST have in your home. Even if you only use this book a few times, it's well worth the purchase. However, you'll probably use it over and over again, because there's so many good recipes you'll want to try. Definitely worth the buy!

Apprentice of apprentices
Anyone who has ever worked at a continental-style restaurant should read this book. I picked up "Heat" in the interests of reliving my experiences in two continental restaurants, run by two totally different-in-temperament chefs, one Austrian, one Swiss. Neither one embodies quite the insanity exhibited by Mario Batali, the owner/operator of Babbo in New York City,and known via TV as The Iron ...

The Absolutely Best Book on Soapmaking
Smart Soapmaking is far and away the best book on making soap at home. I have several other books on the subject which, for me, are far too complicated and scientific. They make the process seem far too daunting, to the point where you give up before you start. Anne Watson has thoroughly explained everything in simple yet practical terms and has taken away completely the fear factor. Her book ...

Skippyjon Jones!
Skippyjon Jones is a great doll to go with the books. I actually teach middle school but teach English to those who are learning so I use picture books all the time. The kids just love the books and the dolls or whatever else I can find to go along with them. They don't feel guilty about them at all but usually choose to keep them in the classroom. They'll love this doll too.

Amazon now has this book available for pre-order for an October 1, 2008 release date, for $44.10 from a $70 retail cost. Look under 'The Stanley Kubrick Archives [ILLUSTRATED] (Hardcover)'. I would like information on book dimensions as the first print run was on average 40 by 30cm.

Great book but Software company is Risky
I own this book and it is excellent as is the software that comes with the book. (Game Maker Lite edition) I would not upgrade to the pro however as I paid for the pro upgrade key and Softwrap, the company in charge will not give me my activation key. Moreover, I have created two tickets with Yoyo Games helpdesk and both have been ignored. Buyer Beware. I have reported this to Paypal.

Sobering
Scott Shane's work "Illusions of Entrepreneurship" was a valuable, yet sobering, addition to my library and knowledge base. He shines the light on many of the leading myths of entrepreneurship that scholars, practioners, and practioner-scholars such as myself proport. Its enjoyable to read. Somewhat fun, its a good book to hammer through for practioners, policy makers, and academics alike. ...
