I don't actually think you'll need a guide for an easy game like Hail To The King, which has no complicated puzzles and stuff. But, if you feel like taking a guide, to avoid commiting mistakes throughout the game, feel free to buy this guide, trust me, it's good.
It's fully colored and ilustrated, the walkthrough is full of hints and things, you shall finnish the game well with it. There are also descriptions of the game weapons, enemies, bosses (and the best ways to beat them down). In the index, it says there is an Evil Dead Trivia in this guide, but it's completely untrue. There is no Trivia in here.
So, the guide accomplishes its objective, but it's not awesome or anything. It will help you to beat the game, and it's... a good company for a regular game. That's about it.

WHILE PRIMA DID A GOOD JOB ON THIS GUIDE, I SEE THAT VERY LITTLE HAS CHANGED WITH THEM. I HAVE PURPOSELY AVOIDED PRIMA GUIDES IN GENERAL OVER THE YEARS AFTER BUYING A TUROK GUIDE THAT HAD MORE PICTURES THEN MAPS AND POORLY DRAWN MAPS AT THAT. I HAD TO GO OUT AND GET A BRADYGAMES GUIDE INSTEAD. SINCE NO ONE ELSE STEPPED UP TO PRODUCE A GUIDE TO THE EXCELLENT EVIL DEAD GAME FOR PLAYSTATION, I BROKE DOWN AND BOUGHT THIS GUIDE. MOST TIMES I BUY A CHEAT (GUIDE) BOOK AFTER I FINISH A GAME, IF I REALLY LIKED IT, TO GET THE PICTURES, DRAWINGS AND STORIES THAT WENT INTO MAKING THE GAME (AS WELL AS TO SEE IF I MISSED ANYTHING). SUCH IS THE CASE HERE. WHILE THE QUALITY OF THIS PRIMA BOOK HAS IMPROVED, THEY STILL PUT IN WAY TOO MANY OUT OF FOCUS PICTURES AND NOT ENOUGH CLEARLY DRAWN MAPS OR DIAGRAMS. IT'S GOOD BUT IT COULD HAVE BEEN SO MUCH BETTER. GIVEN A CHOICE BETWEEN PRIMA AND ANYBODY ELSE, ANYBODY ELSE WILL WIN EVERY TIME. TIME TO WAKE UP BOYS.

Very cool guide. There are many pictures in there, so you can check where you are in the game with the walkthrough and hot hints to be a king. If you have the game or you're thinking about buying it, don't forget to buy this cheap and preety guide.

The author talks in circles and never says much that is useful. Most of the material that IS useful is stolen from other writers. You are better off reading one of the standard conducting texts. This book is a waste of your time.

The ability of going beyond patterns and conducting technique is what matters the most for a conductor. Though books dedicated to conducting techniques are mandatory for studying the discipline, a conductor definitely needs to be concerned with the close relationship between choral sound and physical gesture. The most difficult duty for conductors is the ability to express themselves through gestures and other human elements to their best, in such a way that the singers be able to react spontaneously and honestly. For that, it is imperative for both the conductor and the singers that they master the technique of being, reacting, conducting, and singing in a natural way. As a consequence, the physical approach is defining. The way a conductor feels, breathes, reacts, and knows a choral work is reflected in his or her gestures and face. From there, these aspects will be reflected in the way singers respond to a conductor's gestures and suggestions. The closeness of the conductor - choir mental and psychological relationship must be so intense that it has the ability to anticipate any unsuitable performing 'slips.'
To write his remarkable book about conducting choral sound, Jordan masterfully combined research with his background inherited from his gifted teachers, as well as with the experience he gained while working with students at Westminster and Chapel Choirs he conducted.
Evoking Sound is structured in three parts: 'Building a Relationship of Gesture to Sound,' 'Literature for Study and Self-Evaluation,' and 'A Primer for Rehearsal Technique.' The book also comprises two Appendices, Bibliography, and Suggested List for Further Reading, as well as an Index of Quoted Persons and a Topical Index. Each part defines through several chapters the main aspects of breathing and muscle relaxation (Alexander Technique), self-observation (of the Laban Effort Elements), consistent tempo, the anticipatory position, gestural vocabulary, music aptitude, preparing the score, literature for study and self-evaluation, to name only a few of them. In the second part, after a thorough explanation of all the above concepts, one can find a broad list of musical examples with practical suggestions and charts. The last part discusses elements of choral sound producing as well as pronunciation and diction issues, and provides a final table in which Jordan summarizes rehearsal technique issues.
Though the literary style of this book is accessible through the use of common language, the depth of Jordan's analysis and the details he provides make Evoking Sound a method book for professionals and people interested in this subject matter. However, the author tries to ease the 'heavy academic' approach by citing many opinions of famous artists at the beginning of each chapter. Also, he is very organized, the structure of each of his chapters following a specific order, i.e. definitions, applications, drawings (if necessary), musical examples, and ending with practical exercises.
In conclusion, James Jordan's Evoking Sound returns to the basics of the conducting art by pointing out the importance of achieving the ability to inspire those being conducted even before one can conduct. The cover of the book optimistically states its goal: "You'll come away from Evoking Sound feeling a renewed sense of the totality of the conducting endeavor, as well as a grasp of how to better undertake it to evoke sound from many, unique human instruments." Consequently, I consider this book worth having in any conductor's personal library or even better, on the study desk.

This book is NOT a re-ordering of previously published information found in the myriad of conducting texts available. Quite the contrary, Jordan addresses some of the most important issues that face the conductor but are rarely, if ever, discussed, but tend to have the most dramatic impact on their success. As a conductor and teacher of conducting for over 15 years, I will adopt this text as the core material for my future conducting classes. Jordan has been able to put into words the very things that I have been trying to teach, offering concrete excercises along with the philosophical discussion. This book will make the learning process so much easier and systematic for my students. Way to go James Jordan! I get it!

I was thrilled when I first came across this book, someone finally did a price guide for the kind of LP's I was collecting. Unfortunately the book didn't turn out to be all I was hoping for when I bought it. It is useful as a discography for the artists listed and seems very complete in that respect but I wish it contained more and better examples of classic LP cover art and more biographical information on the artists. I suppose this may be asking too much from a price guide type book. But even as a price guide this book seems a bit off. Although there are exceptions, almost all of the records are listed as being worth $3-5 or $7-10. Now as a collector I think it would be great if record dealers would adopt this as their official pricing guideline, but if you are buying these type albums anywhere besides your local thrift shops you are probably forced to pay more than that for these records, sometimes a LOT more ( at least that has been my experience). In fairness, I guess it wasn't too long ago that you could pick most of these records up for under a buck almost anywhere, but original LP's of lounge and space age bachelor pad music seem to be going for premium dollars these days and a recent price guide should more accurately reflect that. BOTTOM LINE on this book...Should you buy a copy if you are into this type of music? Yes! by all means. While this book does miss the mark a bit (in my opinion) there is precious little information published about this type of music and this book is one of very few available on the subject. While I was initially somewhat dissappointed when I first read the book I have gone back to it on numerous occasions to look something up and I am glad to have it on my shelf. The discography type information alone is worth the price of the book and there is a bunch of other pertinent information included which is also useful (websites, etc.).Most of the book is taken up by the price listings but I did enjoy reading the text that is there and found it informative as well. Now if I could just convince my local record dealers to sell me those Esquivel and Three Suns albums at this book's prices.

Anticipating a great catalogue and price guide for lounge music, I was somewhat disappointed in this publication. Too much page space is given to the discography and price listing and too little to a beautiful presentation of the covers which are so essential to this style of music. All the good stuff(photos and text) inhabits verticle strips on the edge of the pages. The covers are poorly printed with a dull look. The pricing seems pedestrian and not detailed enough. Too bad because the list of artists is large and largely accurate. Sort of a 70% effort.

This volume is cleverly as composed as the best of lounge entertainment

As someone who has grown up in Oklahoma City and graduated from high school the year that the collapse had happened, I knew of some of the persons involved through other people.

The red piggy bank logo belonged to Sooner Federal Savings and Loan, and sat on top of 50 Penn Place.

Penn Square Bank had built what is now known as The Tower a couple of blocks down the street. They never moved into it, they were shut down while they were still inside the north end of Penn Square Mall, and the building was finished out after the closure.

Singer has relatives here in Oklahoma in the oil business, so he had some insight into the things that had happened.

If you want more detail, Belly Up goes into much more greater detail and is harsher in it's treatment of the characters involved.

Growing up in Oklahoma my only real memory of the Penn Square Bank failure was when they pulled down the red-piggy-bank logo from the top of the building. It was something that was talked about on the national news every evening, but it wasn't well understood just how such a small local bank could cause such a ruckus.

Mr. Singer's book explains what was at the bottom of all of the trouble, how Penn Square fell from grace, and in the process of doing so provides interesting commentary on Oklahoma culture, as well as some history and other facts pertaining to the oil business. The book is very well written and quick paced, providing just enough detail to be considered in depth, while not languishing on unnecessary detail.

It is interesting to remark that the same conditions that caused everyone to say oil at $100 per barrel was a no-brainer are those that caused people to put forth the indestructible nature of internet-retailing. The Okiesmo of wildcats in pursuit of oil bears striking resemblance to the aggressive idiocy of venture capitalists fighting to put money into business plans that ignored common sense.

This book is satisfying on a lot of levels, the depth of information on the figures behind the bankruptcy, the environment that spawned and incented those figures and also the culture, both nationally and locally, which created this collapse. This is a very interesting book, and I highly recommend it.

Singer, an Ivy Leaguer from Oklahoma, gives us a pretty good look at how the failure of Penn Square bank nearly took several much larger ones with it back in 1982.

Where Singer's portrayal contrasts with that of others is that he speaks from personal and cultural acquaintance with many of the primary characters. This does not stop him from having a little fun at the expense of what he calls 'Okiesmo', the wildcatting and high-living ethic of the oil and gas industry, but it does mean that he sees his subjects as being (in most cases) basically decent human beings who made bad assumptions and boneheaded business decisions.

The only thing Singer lacks is a deeper exploration of the factors at the upstream banks (Seafirst, Continental, Michigan National, Chase, and more) that allowed Penn Square to balloon out of control. As someone who has seen a few related documents that he can't say much about, I can tell you with certainty that the 'wild and crazy guy' ethic was not limited to Penn Square, and that without the eager participation of larger banks, the whole affair would have been relatively insignificant. Good book for those interested in Oklahoma history, the gas drilling industry or (naturally) the Penn Square failure.

'Have you ever had a zit? Well, Jesus probably did, too. He knows what that's like.'

Marshall's book is extremely weak in regards to theology. The Bible does not discuss enough of Jesus' 'teen years' to fill 300 something pages of a slow witted and poorly written devotional.

The above statement is the kind of thing you will find with every page turn, speculation and lose theology.

The message is far too 'feel-good' and almost seems as more of a hiderance than help to any struggling teen.

In reading and looking at this book I have to say Mark Marshall has got all the qualities of a great Christian book writer! I have known Mark for a long time and he is true to his words. The book goes deep into the Psalms and from his heart. He is a firm believer in Christ the Alimighty God and has been a Christian all his life. His book writing skill are tremendous and to say this is one of those books that is hard to put down is true. I have known Mark for a very long time and if you want a book to lift you up heres the one for you!
My Name is Coolhand Luke Brady and thats my thoughts but you don't have to take my word for it!

I bought and read this book in good faith that it would be an amazing journey into the psalms. Boy was i not dissapointed. Mark is a very talented and wise man. He touched me deeply. This book is very highly recommended by me, a 17 year old troubled teenager. Thank you mark for this amazing and well-written book. Now, time to get that novel out!!

This book does not discuss hamstring or quadricep injuries. These two muscle groups are by the far two of the most important for runners. Because of this I do not recommend this book!

I've went through about 4 books looking for help with my own running injuries, and this one was BY FAR the best. More information, catagorized wonderfully, and very easy to comprehend and apply to yourself. Even though this book has more info in it than injury-related, at least half of the book is based on injury, and I can't recommend THIS section of the book highly enough. A real winner.

This is an excellent reference.

The chapter on preventing injuries is alone worth the price of the book. The authors clearly explain muscle imbalance and its possible effects on runners. There's even a self-test for muscle imbalance and techniques for establishing proper balance.

Many ex-runners probably would have kept it up, if they had read this book. It helps you diagnose and manage injuries yourself and point you to a doctor when you really need one.

I've shown this to several runners, who immediately want their own copy.

This book is real cool. All the pictures are amazing! The only problem is, it's not new and it doesn't have formula 1 cars. It only features cars from the beginning till the F50. It's real cool though.

This book contains a brief insight into each of the Ferrari road cars produced between 1948 (166)- 1995 (F50). Each car is limited to two pages of history, photographs, and technical data.

The photograph quality is very good but not all that big in size. Technical info is minimal.

If you already own a few good Ferrari books, then I doubt this book has anything to offer you that you don't already know. Otherwise, considering price and photograph quality it is still appealing.

If you are just becoming interested in Ferrari road cars and want some basic info with pictures and not willing to spend alot of money, then this book is nice place to start.

Ferrari; The Legend is concerned only with Ferrari's road cars beginning with the 166 Inter and concluding with the F50. Each model receives two pages of beautiful photos and interesting commentary. The meanings of the numbers and letters in the name for each model, dates of production, and interesting facts are all included in the commentary. However, the photos alone (such as the two-page photo of the 512TR s/n 94516) are well worth the price of the book! Specifications, acceleration data and production figures are also given. Excellent value!

The inside cover said this novel about the OCS training of Jeff Adams brings the 1960s and 1970s back to life again. This book has no energy whatsoever.

The author tries to accomplish two goals with one book and fails miserably. He tries to create an historical account by showing the perspective of the prospective Vietnam infantryman. Yet this is supposed to be a novel, and it lacks depth and intrigue. The main character is nothing more than a symbol of the anti-war movement and too cliched to care about.

The plot might have been more interesting, but the storyline was too cheezy, particlarly when eight days after he lost it Adams finds the knife his grandfather gave him in a pile of pine needles.

Also, the dialogue is so elementary and the relationships Adams forges with his roommates so sudden, it makes the ending implausible. Who knew these guys were that close?

Obviously, this is more a commentary against the military lifestyle, along with a heavy anti-relgious slant. I was astonsished to learn that during military training soldiers actually talk and learn how to kill people. No, really?

Those who feel they do not fit the profile of the typical war novel enthusiast should not let that consideration prevent them from picking up Mark Busby's _Fort Benning Blues_. For in many ways, the novel is atypical of the genre, and it is these moments of divergence that make the novel stimulating and enjoyable. What most distinguishes Busby's efforts from other, similarly-themed offerings, and what serves as the novel's strongest point, is the high level of literary consciousness that the author brings to his narrative. Arguably, all serious writers bring to their work an awareness of their literary predescessors, of being imbedded in context or tradition, but Busby uses this anxiety of influence in a unique way, creating a protagonist who is aware of the bounds and conventions and classic works of the genre in which he is circumscribed. From the beginning of the story, when Jeff Adams relates the collection of fiction he has brought with him to Officer Candidate School, to the novel's Yossarianesque conclusion, books are central to Busby's tale of Vietnam viewed from the margins. This literary consciousness is the heart and soul of the novel, the secret life that compels and inspires the actions and attitudes of its characters. Though the narrative ostensibly depicts the boredoms and stresses and tyrannies of Fort Benning, and though it portrays the by-now standard conflict between one's duty to country and one's moral aversion to war, _Fort Benning Blues_ is actually, if we look closer, a book about books, an exploration of the relationship between literature and marginality, books and the state. Thus, the interesting question that emerges from the novel is this: how much of Jeff Adams's ambivalence and hesitancy about his role in the Vietnam conflict results from the fact that he reads, that he has a deep and personal familiarity with books renowned for their critical perspectives on war and resistance? That Vietnam was morally questionable is by now well-established in literature and film; also patently obvious is the fact that Jefferson Bowie Adams II, grandson and namesake of his proud veteran grandfather, carries the weight of history and familial expectation upon his shoulders. What is less apparent, however, is the fact that Adams's scholarly affiliations make him scion of an equally weighty heritage; he is as beholden to literary forebears Joseph Heller and Ernest Hemingway as he is to a sense of duty engendered on the part of his military lineage. In this way, we can see that what is less apparent about the novel--namely, its literary consciousness--is also its most important and outstanding feature, and that it is this understated and subtle feature which ultimately makes _Fort Benning Blues_ more than just another story among many about the Vietnam era.

Mark Busby's FORT BENNING BLUES will appeal best to male readers who were subject to the Vietnam War draft, an entire generation of American men who, one way or another, had to wrap their heads around the idea that though there was now such a thing as "limited war," there was still no such thing as "limited death." In other words, they had to confront the very real possibility that they could give their lives for a war with very uncertain goals. Their fathers and grandfathers may have fought in World War II or Korea (or both), but the objectives of WWII were never in doubt, and Korea came early enough in the "cold war" that almost everyone believed Communism both monolithic and omni-threatening. Vietnam was 'way different, and Busby explores that difference via his protagonist, Jeff Adams, a Texan with a proud sense of heritage and common sense to go with it: enough pride to recognize his legacy and responsibility, enough common sense to be fearful and to desire a defensible meaning to the risks he faces.
We follow Adams as he takes the route many bright young men of the era took--Officers Candidate School. Adams's "blues," then, have to do with the dues he knows he must pay, and the novel's resonance comes from the way Busby re-creates those troubled times, times that exacted internal wars of conscience among most Americans, regardless of whether or not they were of draft age. Some readers might consider Busby's literary debts ranging from William Faulkner to British World War I-era poet Henry Reed a bit too artificial; still others might think he makes too much use of coincidence (Adams happens to be William Calley's driver during the My Lai trial, and he manages to see newspaper headlines that inform him of the Kent State killings).
Adams's resolution of his conflict--his Fort Benning Blues--may not please all readers, but it is a resolution many of that era found, making this as genuine a tale of courage as any told by other "veterans" of the Vietnam War, a war that we now know even our President, Lyndon Johnson, tragically questioned, tragically could not bring himself to stop.

I read a lot of SF and fnatasy for pleasure and usually will finish a book even if it's not very good. This one, however, I had trouble even skimming.Confusing and not very interesting plot with characters that lacked depth. And on top of that it was full of typos in the parts I did read. A total waste of time and money, IMHO.

Excellent book and fun to read. Enjoyed the character Frost and his constant struggle with consequences of having the Demon Blade.

A very good read.I have yet to read Demonblade which Frost is a prequel for,but with the way it read I am looking forward to it!

This book is not worth buying - it is already outdated. If you really want information on Furbys, browse through websites from Furby fans. You will probably find more current and helpful information there. A true disappointment!

I bought my Furby from a second hand store, and I had no idea what my Furby was talking about most of the time. I bought this book, and it explained everything about Furbys from what the Furbish words meant to instructions to play all of the Furby games from Hide and Seek to using your Furby as a fortuneteller (for fun "yes/no" questions). It even includes tricks that kids (and adults!) will love, like how to make your Furby burp eight times in a row or get a case of hiccups. Also included where photos of other Furbys available, Furby accessories, and Furby history. It contains a lot of information within a short number of pages. I am not sure what, if any, imformation comes with the Furby in the original package, but for me (having no instructions) this was a fantastic book that has led me to have a great time with my Furby, Delola!

This book is just GGGRRRREEEEEEAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTT!!!It has EVERYTHING you would ever need to know about Furbys!!! BUY IT!!!!!!!!!
