Glamour at it peak! A wonderful collection of extremely well done paintings that capture the spirit of a ideal pin-up girl. This collection of outstanding artwork truly celebrates the female form. It's a perfect balance of style, design and an innocent energy that all of the girls carry along with their big seductive smiles. A great addition to any art lovers collection!

I'm sure the book is just as good! The movie is witty, charming, and has the most handsome men! The movie belongs on the "keeper" shelf for years to come!

The last in Collin's Nitti Trilogy is better than it's predecessor (True Crime), but not as strong as the first in the series (True Detective). Still, a fine novel and a fitting end to the cycle as Nate Heller's relationship with the famed gangster comes to an end.
The next in the series, The Neon Mirage, begins a new stage in the charater's existence.

Yes, never let her tuck you in because you might never wake up in the morning! This audio production had me on the edge of my seat since tape one started rolling. "Mommy" is a suspense filled story about a loving mother who shall we say, wants nothing more then to do whats right for her daughter not to mention for herself. The story begins with an innocent visit to Jessica Anne's school by her devoted mother. As soon as mommy meets up with Jessica Anne's teacher and has a slight disagreement with her, the horror begins and doesn't stop till the very end. This is a story of motherly love, a daughter's affection and about the special bond between a mother and daughter, even though at times such a bond can take on dark connotations. After all, there is nothing a mother wouldn't do for a daughter such as Jessica Anne. Listening to this production one thinks of another special mommy who caused a lot of campers to retire rather early shall we say; indeed if that mommy and this mommy got together for tea, well what a truly horrifying scene that would be. Sunset productions did a great job with this story; the reader was good and gave the right amount of tention and suspense where it was needed. in addition the music and sound effects which are heard along with the reader make this production one you will want to listen over and over again, but do not let mommy catch you reading in the middle of the night, it can prove to be deadly.

I've read this book during a very boring vacation and this book really livened up my vacation. I was thrilled from beginning to end and I recommend this book to anyone looking to curl up with a blanket and enjoy an excellent book. If this were a movie and I were Siskel & Ebert, I'd give it two thumbs up!

Perhaps Collin's best, it has the distinction of being (like Raymond Chandler's The Long Goodbye) an excellent novel which also happens to be a detective novel.

Writer Mallory's mystery weekend turns out to be a bit more of a challenge than he'd expected. He thinks he'll participate in a weekend of fun and mystery games. On the first night, however, Mallory is gazing out the window and sees a brutal murder. He raises the alarm but the body can't be found! The game goes on as planned, with everyone thinking that what Mallory saw was part of the game. Mallory isn't convinced, though, and he soon finds proof that what he saw was real. A blizzard hits and players and guests are trapped in at Mohonk Mountain House. With a killer? It would seem so!
This is an imaginative story full of suspense and twists. Hero Mallory is Sam Spade with a typewriter.

In the heyday of the pin-up girl, Billy DeVorss offered gorgeous women rich in color, glamour, fashion, and appeal. With a sincere appreciation of the female form and the romantic, artful eye of a painter, DeVorss pin-ups boldly engage the viewer with confidence, charm, and grace. These were sweethearts, not hussies, icons of love, not lust. Pin-Up Poster Book: The Billy DeVorss Collection is a timeless memorial of the golden age of pin-ups now available for a modern generation to rediscover what their grandfathers knew -- the inspiring allure of a pretty girl artfully presented.

If you are looking for a great calendar, I suggest you make your own with the illustrations from this book. I don't know why it was listed in Calendars ... it isn't one. But I can't complain. Otherwise I might never have found it.
