And, you don't even have a tab for corrections for your mis-listings, only image comments. Unbelievable! How bloody arrogant! If you can't get it right in the first place, why should anyone want you to tell more people faster?
That is not only stupid but you are aiding in making the readership equally stupid.

(how to write a movie in 21 days) 『Excellent. Even tells you what is required on what page. act one pages 1, 3, 10, and 30. Act two 45, 60, 75, 90, act three 93, 100, 110, 115, 118, 119, 120. I wish I'd have read it years ago. I now know where I've been going wrong. Hints - "If someone dies, lets see the empty bed", "Cut to the slap", "the square peg's journey", how the 'all is lost' moment of truth evolves into the "round peg in the round hole" climax.』
(Write a movie? Easy.....) 『This fills in my "library" very well. I am trying to put together a movie script and the ideas by Viki King are helping me on the way. Each book has its own slant on how to write the great Oscar winner and this one includes some really good "posers" to help get through writers block. Now I just have to get up off my duff and complete my script. Wish the book could do the typing....』
(Makes the task doable) 『How do you write a script in 21 days, while you're reading the book on how to do it? King gives exercises to find your inner story and get it down before your inner critic has a chance to sabotage the project. She shares tips on recognizing how your life issues play into your themes, the mechanics of script writing, how to deal with writers block, and life issues for being a screenwriter and living with one, or how to be pleasant while you're wresting your life story to paper. It isn't intended to be the comprehensive manual. Instead it takes the mortal fear out of getting the job done, so you can get on with being an artist. King presents the material in a light approach that never gets in the way. You can actually read the book while completing your script within several weeks. I did it, and never felt pressure or creative agony (I did cheat, adapting a book I wanted to get to screenplay). The first time is the hardest; after that it's only as agonizing as having your toenails removed via pliers. Have fun.』 『The ultimate survival guide,How to Write a Movie in 21 Daystakes the aspiring screenwriter the shortest distance from blank page to complete script.
Viki King's Inner Movie Method is a specific step-by-step process designed to get the story in the writer's onto the page. This method guides the would-be screenwriter through the writing of a movie. It answers such questions as:
How to clarify the idea you don't quite have yet
How to tell if your idea is really a movie
How to move from what you want to say saying it
How to stop getting ready and start
Once you know what to write, the Inner Movie Method will show you how to write it. It also addresses such issues as:
How to pay the rent while paying your dues
What to say to your spouse when you can't come to bed
How to keep going when you think you can't
Foraccomplished screenwriters honing their craft, as well as those who never before brought their ideas to paper,How to Write a Movie in 21 Daysis an indispensable guide. And Viki King's upbeat, friendly style is like having a first-rate writing partner every step of the way.』
『No book can find your ideas for you, but this one provides a great service in helping you discover and develop a story, and to come up with the completed script. King helps you learn to think cinematically, in the language of the movies, and to keep asking the essential questions as they work: What's the story? Who is the story about? Do you care about the characters? Does anyone? King also tries to help you survive not just the structural pitfalls that can derail a script, but also the mental or emotional whirlpools that can prevent any artist from finishing a project.』

(Overall excellent, a little outdated) 『An excellent book to help people who are either already in or are contemplating a career in Real Estate. The author and his resources give you a great idea of what your mindset needs to be in that business. The book has several good suggestions and recommendations that you can apply directly to your career. The one negative thing about the book is that because it was written in 2002 some of the information is outdated. In 2002 the Internet was not nearly as large of a factor in Real Estate as it is now, almost 8 years later. And as we know the foreclosure and banking issues in 2002 were nothing compared to what they are in 2009. Still the overall information in this book can serve as an excellent guide for anyone interested in a career in Real Estate.』
(Lots of information!) 『This book was very helpful to me in just starting out in this business. It spells out what you can really expect when you start out. It is a must read for anyone thinking about going into real estate!』

Usually ships in 24 hours IPhone 3G used's review (entertaining investigations into titles for classics and popular books) 『One of Dexter's criterion is "the title should not be explicable by reading the text of the book itself." Thus, the meaning of or reference to the titles he explains could not be derived, divined, nor inferred by reading and comprehending the book. Among the fifty titles meeting this criterion plus three others are Gargantua and Pantagruel, The Duchess of Malfi, Sonnets from the Portuguese, The Kreutzer Sonata, Nineteen Eighty-Four, and A Clockwork Orange. The titles span all eras, as far back as Plato's Republic from 380B.C., to the 1990s. All genres are included, though titles to single poems have been eliminated. And--another of Dexter's criterion--titles cannot have be taken from quotes.
The book is entertaining for any reader and especially for ones in the book trade such as writers and publishers, instructive. Despite its catchy title and content from a newspaper (from the author's column in London's Sunday Telegram), Dexter is often discursive and analytical. The bibliography containing many scholarly or literary articles and books of literary criticism is more than six pages. He doesn't simply give the basis or source of a title, as if answering a riddle or giving a quiz-show type answer. He relates the research he did. He does so partly to authoritate how a particular title came about; and partly to support his educated guesswork on how a title came about when there is no conclusive evidence such as the book's author's explanation.
Readers will enjoy the interesting, little-known background on classics and popular books Dexter has dredged up. 』
(A book by any other name...) 『Dexter's aim in this book is to explain where some inexplicable titles (limited to books and plays; while collections of poetry are included, no individual poems are listed) come from-what does "Godot" have to do with anything, why on earth is Plato's "Republic" so named even though Plato didn't like the idea of our modern republics, etc. He also dispells many myths about book titles, like the ones about 1984 being in reference to 1948, or a Clockwork Orange coming from a Cockney saying.
The book is often exciting, hillarious, and is quite a page turner. Dexter includes plot summaries frequently, which is excellent because I hadn't heard of about half of the books include (and I am fairly well-read). But he also alludes to stories about the author, characters, or people in the authors lives that he assumes are generally known and glosses over the backstory. Really, that's the only flaw in the book. The author looks at how literature has been named, what influenced the authors, and, when there is no clear explanation, describes the theories and dispells other. Recommended for anyone with a love of literature.』
(A Quick and Interesting Read) 『I read this book in the space of an afternoon. Some of his book choices were odd - but most were familiar. All were interesting.』
(Great book) 『A fascinating book, I got it for my birthday and the elderly aunt got it right for once! I ploughed through it in one go and now I'm off to re-read the novels it's reminded me about!
And, erm, the words are normal size... It's bizarre that anyone even had a problem with it.』
(A perfect present for book lovers) 『An absolutely delightful book. Dexter has researched his material meticulously while at the same time being bold enough to draw his own conclusions. A perfect Christmas present for book lovers.』 『
Based on the author's long-running column in London'sSunday Telegraph,this diverting book offers literary history in bite sizes, presenting surprising details on each of 50 classic work's genesis and composition. Emphasizing books that are literally inexplicable without this background knowledge, the book covers iconic works from Thomas Moore'sUtopiato Joyce'sUlysses.Along the way readers learn what Wordsworth'sPreludewas a prelude to, the identity of the original Jeeves, whyA Clockwork Orangewasn'tA Robotic Banana,and much more.

Usually ships in 24 hours IPhone 3G used's review (Best comedy book I've ever read) 『I'm really obsessed with stand up comedy right now, so a friend of mine just recommended this book to me. I couldn't put it down. Really breaks down humor writing into a science. The Paul Feig, Bob Odenkirk, and Robert Smigel interviews were my favorite. A must read for anyone that loves comedy and/or wants to do comedy one day.』
(BUY THIS BOOK) 『As an aspiring actor-comedian-screenwriter, I knew I had to have this book the minute I heard about it. It features interviews with 21 top writers of their craft. Read it. Stop reading what I have to say and buy it already!』
(A Book To Savor) 『An absolutely terrific book. Mike Sacks interviews 21 top humor writers and the bantering that ensues is laugh out loud funny as well as quite informative. The writers he has interviewed are all top notch scribes at the top of their game and each and every one are razor sharp witty and supremely knowledgable and intelligent in their chosen craft. I wanted to savor this book and was sorry to finish it and wished it contained even more interviews. The book was filed in the "writing reference" section of my local Borders and even though I guess this could be technically construed as a "reference book", it should be displayed front and center in any bookstore. In the pure enjoyment section. 』
(Wealth of Knowledge) 『I'm a screenwriting major at a film school in California. I picked up this book outside of class and took a LOT from it.
It's divided up in easy to read segments.
The interviews are very insightful, both in terms of crafting comedy, forging a career in showbusiness, and in life in general.
Highly recommend for any aspiring comedy writer, comedian or actor.』
(Engaging Take on Humorists) 『Plain and simple, this is just a really, really enjoyable read. It's smart and it's well-executed and it's compulsively readable. The thing is, there's something so refreshing to a book that's about real comedians. Real writers. Real people. That's it. And you have this great author there with you the entire time, guiding you through these peoples' heads. Don't get me wrong, I'm not the biggest fan of everyone interviewed here (see: David Sedaris), but even then I was charmed by his thoughts and the interplay between he and Sacks.
As an aside, generally speaking I stick to straight-up fiction, and as an aspiring writer (by which I mean I've published absolutely nothing) the last thing I want to read on the weekends/at night after a terrible day at a soul-sucking job is something I feel like was written to instruct me on how to write. Please, don't instruct me. I may suck at it, but please, don't patronize me with your thoughts "On Writing." That means you, Stephen King.
In "And Here's the Kicker," though, Sacks completely steers clear of that pratfall and has composed what is at its heart a wonderfully understated paean to the humor and comedians we all love. By book's end you've encountered the leading comedic minds of recent memory (God Bless Harold Ramis) and will simply feel warm and fuzzy about humor writing as craftwork. None of the usual drivel about how underneath the jokes funny people are actually sad, sad, emotionally-stunted people. Oh the irony! We're all sad people, Judd Apatow.
No, here Sacks provides you with far more than just cliches and platitudes and musings on the difficulties faced by the likes of Chris Farley, John Belushi, and Richard Pryor. Here we learn who the real comedians are. How they operate. Who they are beyond just words on a page. I was pleasantly surprised by this.』 『DID YOU HEAR THE ONE ABOUT…
Every great joke has a punch line, and every great humor writer has an arsenal of experiences, anecdotes, and obsessions that were the inspiration for that humor. In fact, those who make a career out of entertaining strangers with words are a notoriously intelligent and quirky lot. And boy, do they have some stories.
In this entertaining and inspirational book, you'll hear from 21 top humor writers as they discuss the comedy-writing process, their influences, their likes and dislikes, and their experiences in the industry. You’ll also learn some less useful but equally amusing things, such as:
How screenwriter Buck Henry came up with the famous“plastics” line for The Graduate.
How many times the cops were called on co-writers Sacha Baron Cohen and Dan Mazer during the shooting of Borat.
What David Sedaris thinks of his critics.
What creator Paul Feig thinks would have happened to the Freaks&Geeks crew if the show had had another season.
What Jack Handey considers his favorite“Deep Thoughts.”
How Todd Hanson and the staff of The Onion managed to face the aftermath of 9/11 with the perfect dose of humor.
How Stephen Merchant and Ricky Gervais created the original version of The Office.
What it’s really like in the writers’ room at SNL.
Funny and informative, And Here's the Kicker is a must-have resource - whether you’re an aspiring humor writer, a fan of the genre, or someone who just likes to laugh.』

(a laymans education in vitamins) 『i learned a great deal about vitamins, how they work and all the good things they do. listed are vitamins you should not take when you have certain medical problems and or take particular rx meds. well worth the money.』
(Excellent.) 『Well organized. Very useful for all types of inquiries about what vitamins to take. My only issue is that it recommends aspartame at one point.』
(Vitamin Bible by Earl Mindell) 『The author is both a pharmacist and nutritionist. The work explains many aspects of vitamins including daily allowances, benefits for the heart and lung, potency, precautions and a host of relevant factors every consumer should know. He explains how enzymes facilitate the digestion of food and how Lipase splits fat. In addition, he demonstrates why older people might need HCL supplements due to a paucity of digestive acids. The author devotes a full chapter to explaining a glossary of complex vitamin jargon. He breaks down vitamin-taking into various constituent groups; such as, pregnant women, children, runners, senior citizens, night workers and a host of relevant constituencies. Did you know that plain ketchup has 8% more sugar than ice cream? Lastly, he explains how to slow the aging process via the use of nucleic acids.
The work is a good investment in developing a vitamin regimen to complement key components of health maintenance.』
(This is the best book I've read short of the REGULAR Bible) 『To put it bluntly, this book has EVERYTHING you could POSSIBLY need in it. It has combinations of vitamins and supplements for everything from how to get rid of jet lag, to what dieters should take, to the particular health needs of your pet dog or cat. If you read all the way through it, I'm relatively sure that you'll never come across a situation that you won't know what to take to help yourself out. And in my mind, that's what makes this book worth every single page it's printed on.』 『Containing new sections on alternative therapies, new forms of supplements, expanded information on herbals, enzymes, amino acids, antioxidants, plant hormones, plus a significantly expanded section on "cautions", this book presents readers with up-to-date information regarding vitamins, minerals, herbs, other nutrients, and good nutrition, that they can count on.』
