A Third Face: My Tale of Writing, Fighting and Filmmaking (Applause Books) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Samuel Fuller was, depending on your outlook, either the director of a lot of fun "B" movies, or one of the seminal forces in cinema. Nevertheless (to borrow a word he quotes in the book), it cannot be argued that he didn't lead one of the most exciting lives of the 20th century! His portraits of America in the 20s & 30s, Hollywood (and the world) in the 40s through the end of the century (or, close enough-he died in 1997) are brilliant, hilarious, moving, frivolous, and profound portraits of who we ALL are, and how we got that way. If you're a film buff, read this book! If you're an history buff, read this book! And, if you just want to read one of the most entertaining, enlightening, pieces of (forgive me, Mr. Fuller!) literature, READ THIS BOOK!!!!!

Babes in Toyland (Vocal Score) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Don't let any of today's youngsters know that this book exists--they would hoot in derision!Yet this is a luxury edition of the 1903 musical operetta by Victor Herbert, including some music. Accompanied by wonderful illustrations by Victoria Lisi, thisvolume has preserved the script and even lists the turn-of-the-century cast.
Sugary tale about a stereotyped rich and hateful villain trying to force a sweet young thing to marry him. Many children and even some toys help foil the miser, when he invades the sanctity and threatens the innocence of Toyland itself. The script abounds in terrible puns and a simplistic plot--virtually impossible for kids of the 90's to appreciate.
Toys and dolls plus a kindlytoymaker come to the rescue, as the youngstersfrom Mother Goose Land flee to Toyland to further their dreams and escape their nightmares. The little old Toymaker speaks as the true spirit of Christmas about the importance of bringing joy to young children. Browse this lovely edition whenever you want to return to those ingenuos days of yore--Childhood!

Music Book Clip Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Does a great job of flattening out fat music books. These are
very hard to find, but necessary for musicians. I can be frustrating
to keep having to smack the pages back in the middle of practice.
This gizmo fits the bill.

Learn to Read Music (Softcover) (Book) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This book is THE most useful book I've purchased and read on how to read music so far. I have just started learning to play the violin (I am in my mid-40s)and although all my life I've sung and music is, and has always been, a huge part of my life(many of my family members are accomplished musicians)I've never played an instrument or had any formal musical theory training.This book is the reference I have gone back to again and again as I progress with my violin and I have questions or areas that aren't clear to me (such as the concepts of major and minor scale, flats/sharps/accidentals and how they came about). . not only does this book take you from the very basics to the complex, Howard Shanet takes the time to explain WHY certain things are the way they are in written music.I was struggling with some concepts and when my teacher explained them to me I didn't get it....I looked it up in a smaller book on music theory and the explanation was there but I still didn't quite get it . . and then I looked up the subject (this happened to be accidentals/flats and sharps and also time meters) in this book and because Howard Shanet explained why sharps and flats are written the way they are, I was able to understand the concept and work beyond it.Just an excellent book and I recommend it to anyone learning to read and play music.It is true, thisbook will not teach you how to play any instrument, BUT without the basics and theory in this book it would be very difficult for me to progress with my violin playing.Highly recommend it.
