A Trivial Comedy for Serious People - The Importance Of Being Earnest
A Trivial Comedy for Serious People - The Importance Of Being Earnest

Review:Oscar Wilde must have been quite the character in his day. This play about mistaken identity is not only laugh out loud funny but cutting at the same time. He skewers the upper class with his observations about their behaviour. No wonder it has been done in countless theaters over the years and been made into at least one film that I can think of.

A Life Recording Hits with The Rolling Stones - the Faces . . .

Review:I am enjoying this book. It's more about encounters with people. If looking for a mixing tutorial this is not it, but if you are interested in the career steps of Glyn Johns and who he worked with its worth reading. Read more

Never Look at the Empty Seats: A Memoir
Never Look at the Empty Seats: A Memoir

Review:Outstanding background and history of a true music legend. Being a fan, I thought I know everything about Charlie Daniels. As the book proved, I was wrong. Charlie provides insight on his early days of music in the 50's and 60's. It is hard to believe a musician that cannot read tables or music sheets can be a sought after session musician. Charlie plays from the heart with a vast knowledge of his instruments and whole lot of soul. Charlie is a family man that treats all of his long time employe... Read more

Cheating Death - Living Large

Review:Not eloquently written, but full of many details about Travis that most people wouldn't know. The in depth recollection of his past put on paper really brings it to life for the reader. Much more respect for Travis as a drummer and a human being after reading this! Read more

I Me Mine: The Extended Edition
I Me Mine: The Extended Edition

Review:George's book is too self centered, it barely speaks of The Beatles, that are the one thing that made him. Another detail, that may be considered good or bad, is that he explains each and every song he made. It consumes half the book, but it's interesting. Read more

A Memoir of Gangster Life and Redemption-from South Central to Hollywood
A Memoir of Gangster Life and Redemption-from South Central to Hollywood

Review:This book surprised me by the depth of information it provided into a L.A. Gangster's life. I found myself switching back and forth from calling him a idiot punk to being very proud of some of the better decisions that he made. God must have been on this man's side for him to have come out of his youthful actions without having done hard prison time or dying. Thank God for the angels watching over ICE-T - I never knew a thing about him and really didn't like rap at all but now I think I get so... Read more

The Illusion of Life: Disney Animation

Review:For those who love Disney, and their animation, this book gives a history of the early days of animation that shaped this empire. The artwork is amazing and I love to look at it over and over. We had a copy of this while our children were growing up that literally fell apart from use. Now we have a new copy to share with our grandchildren. Love it! Read more

drawing and sketching objects and environments from your imagination

Review:I learned a bit about perspective from another of Scott's books, How to Draw Cars the Hot Wheels Way, but wanted to understand more about the mechanics of some of his constructions in that book. This book is much more detailed and very clearly and effectively explains every perspective construction you could need. As a design student, I'm excited to finally be able to visually realize the ideas in my head. Best perspective drawing book I've found. Read more
