Very Helpful. From A-Z information.......2001-05-08
I happen to get this book in the Thrift Store because I am interested in becoming a Real Estate Investor. This is very helpful beginning information if you are starting out in Investing. It also has alot of helpful tips on having a no down payment on purchasing a house. I recommend it for anyone interested in Real Estate Investing or just buying a home.
Very informative and influential author........1998-09-24
I am interested in finding an email address for Mr. Garrison or someone that could answer some questions I have regarding financing a mortgage. I have also read Mr. Garrison's book titled "How to buy your own home in 90 days". This book was very helpful but I still have questions. I have searched the net for a site that might be helpful but have had no luck as of yet. Any information will be greatly appreciated.

An absolute hoot!.......1999-02-10
After enjoying THE MOSTLY UNFABULOUS SOCIAL LIFE OF ETHAN GREEN comic strip for quite some time in my local gay newspaper, I took the plunge and invested in Eric Orner's book, THE ETHAN GREEN CHRONICLES. And what an excellent investment it was! Orner's cartoon interpretations of contemporary gay life are so insightful, so delightful, and so outrageously funny. The nuances of Orner's humor within each cartoon frame require careful inspection, but not to worry. You're always rewarded with a laugh.
Not to sell Ethan Green short, it's important to note that Orner often tackles issues relevant to the current cultural scene. But never without his tongue firmly in his cheek!
Buy this book! You won't be sorry.
Product Description
The "Guitar Book"....is a must have beginners guitar book for those who really want to learn how to play the guitar which includes more than just 4 or 5 chords.
Look no further for simplicity and the easiest to play chord fingering diagrams of the most commonly played guitar chords whether it be rock n roll, blues, pop, country or any other style.
The Guitar Book ....is Boldly Illustrated with a See and Do Approach....Only the Easy To Learn Guitar Information...Free of All That Wordy Fluff.
The Guitar Book .... takes you from tuning your guitar to naming each note on the guitar neck-fingerboard. It clearly illustrates the most commonly played guitar chords in the easiest and best sounding fingering shapes of each chord in both "Open"- notes typically played within the first four frets and "Barre"-fretted shapes. Also included are simple illustrated tips on how to enhance the sound of various chord shapes.
There is a Chord Combination Chart which will enable you to begin creating a surprising number of your own chord progressions without the guess work of which chord goes with which chord, allowing you to form the arrangement of any chord progression to suit your voice.
You will also learn how to read tablature (tabs) and Power Chords which are simply playing the sixth and fifth string or fifth and fourth string of any barre chord which are referred to as 5th Chords, it is that simple.
It is not necessary for the beginning guitar player to spend time reading hundreds of pages of learning how to play to get you on your way to learning how to play the guitar. You will find yourself playing your favorite songs and personal creations right away while saving hundreds of dollars on private lessons.
There is a section on traditional blues and rock n roll progressions which you will be able to transpose to any key to fit your voice.
Another great feature is that the binding allows this guitar book to remain flat for easy viewing of both the left and right side of each page.
Another great feature of this guitar book is you will be surprisingly shown how to change any Major Chord into a Minor Chord, Minor Seventh Chord or Major Dominant 7th Chord by just lifting a finger. It doesn't get any easier and it is so very simple.
You may want to come back at a later time to learn why the chords in the Chord Combination Chart are presented in a particular order but it is not necessary to know this to move forward and begin creating your own chord combinations (progressions).
This guitar book spends very little time in theory but focuses more of your time on getting you on to learning how to play the guitar the first day you receive it.
At the end of this guitar book are presented a few basic practice scale patterns with chord progressions so you can get a feel of what it is like to play lead guitar on a chord progression.
It does not get any easier for the beginning guitar player and those who all already play some. This guitar book continues to sell thousands upon thousands of copies world wide consistently because of it is boldly illustrated and simple diagrams.
Special Note The Guitar Book For Those Who Have Just Landed On The Planet Earth! Learn How To Play Guitar contains the same learn how to play guitar information as The First Stage Guitar Book, the only difference is that you have a choice of which book cover you would prefer.

This is a great book !!.......2001-07-25
I have learned more from this book in a far shorter amount of time than I have learned from a guitar teacher I am taking lessons with. I tried other books and this one blows them away. There's not alot of technical talk or theory in this book, just good solid hands on instruction. This book is very similar to the Author's other titles: " The Pre-Stage"... & "The First Stage"... I highly recommend any of Chris Lopezs' books !! GET THIS BOOK !!
A great way to learn how to play guitar............1999-09-29
This guitar book is very clear and to the point with bold and easy to understand illustrations. I also highly recommend The 'Next Stage' Guitar Book - Learn How To Play Scale Patterns & Tabs Easily & Quickly! Both these guitar books make a great package in learning how to play guitar.

Book Description
A number of thrillers made in the 1920s and 1930s have become available again thanks to new technology. There are a few, however, that remain elusive to most, if not all, movie buffs. This book covers 21 thrillers from those decades that are well-regarded and eagerly sought, but difficult to find—The Mystery of Dr. Fu Manchu (1923), The Unknown Purple (1923), The Sorrows of Satan (1926), While London Sleeps (1926), The Monkey Talks (1927), The Chinese Parrot (1927), Stark Mad (1929), The Unholy Night (1929), High Treason (1929), The Spider (1931), Eran Trece (1931), The Monkey's Paw (1933), Trick for Trick (1933), Deluge (1933), The Vanishing Shadow (1934), The Witching Hour (1934), Double Door (1934), Black Moon (1934), Le Golem (1936), The Scarab Murder Case (1937), and Sh! The Octopus (1937). For each film, the author provides such details as the production company, running time, release date(s), cast and production credits, a synopsis, and commentary.

Flicker Fun.......2006-07-28
John Soister's "Up From the Vault" is a scholarly review of obscure horror movies from the late silent period to the early thirties. I mean, these are some wierd flicks! Culled from the terror-genre, Soister's book scans rare thrillers and mysteries, with information found no-where else. The author travelled to London's BFI(British Film Institute) to inspect damaged nitrates(on a Movieola) of the 1923 "Mystery of Dr. Fu Manchu", which almost no-one-else has ever seen. Using web-sites, archives, and libraries, Soister has captured complete story-lines, full casts, and detailed minutiae on 21 films, half of which are lost; the rest residing in arcane collectors' libraries; some surface rarely on Turner Classic Movies. One film, "The Chinese Parrot(1927)", is the second American effort of legendary German director Paul Leni, and it's only the second screen appearance of Earl Derr Bigger's Charlie Chan. The first Chan movie("House Without a Key") was a ten-chapter serial. Paul Leni died suddenly in 1929 of blood poisoning from an ulcerated tooth. Soister's book provides seven pages of critique, background, and pictures from the mysterious "Chinese Parrot". It is remarkable, as this film turned to dust long ago. An early RKO C. Aubrey Smith thriller, "The Monkey's Paw", is reviewed, featuring casting notes, production history, and two photos from the film, featuring a seductive young Nena Quatero. This tantilizing report is on a 1933 motion picture that no longer exists. Another entry is MGM's 1929 "The Unholy Night", an historic, early talkie directed by actor Lionel Barrymore, and featuring a nervous Boris Karloff as Abdoul. A slow film with a good ending, I saw "The Unholy Night" on TCM cable. It has never been on VHS or DVD. Roland West directed the classic "The Bat(1926)" and "The Bat Whispers(1930)"; both of which were, at one time, lost. Archivists have recovered both famous films. An even earlier Roland West production, "The Unknown Purple(1923)", featuring an invisible man, has been lost forever. "Up From the Vault" contains a complete review, and a picture from "The Unknown Purple". Not for everyone, "Up From the Vault" is a cinephile's delight; the author's detective work cannot be faulted. John Soister's effort here is heart-felt and pure. And, after all, work is joy if you love it.
Charming, Eccentric Book.......2006-06-12
John Soister is one of the most enjoyable writers on horor films writing today, and he had to be to make this book work. The choice of films covered is, to say the least, eccentric-- thrillers that are lost or difficult to see. Many are not just lost, or existing only in museums, but quite obscure films which left no significant footprints in film history.
This book is worth getting because of the charm and wit of John Soister's writing. He makes us you care about movies you have never heard of.

Book Description
What is it that oral historians do? Prior to the publication of Envelopes of Sound oral history was regarded as an archival practice and interviews were considered the repositories of data. Envelopes shows that the interview is a series of dialectical relationships embedded in language, social practice, and historical imagination. It calls upon oral historians to begin to step back, to think seriously about what it is they do, and to ask what kind of documentation it is that they produce and how they can make it better. This volume merges theory and method through the analysis of the basic structures of the interview. It incorporates new thinking on the nature of narrative and conversation, and it covers new ground in examining fieldwork in a number of disciplines. While strongly theoretical, it also has direct application in conducting oral history interviews. It moves from relatively easy and simple considerations to increasingly complex issues. Envelopes of Sound can be used by a variety of students in discplines ranging from history and sociology to anthropology and contemporary literature, and it can be used in a variety of ways to raise issues on a number of theoretical levels.
Book Description
Since the development of the modern state system in Europe four centuries ago, there have been ten general wars involving a majority of the major powers and a high level of casualties. Another major war is difficult to conceive of, since it would presumably be the last such conflict, and yet it is not an impossibility. In this volume a distinguished group of political scientists and historians examine the origins of major wars and discuss the problems in preventing a nuclear war.
