Pictures of the F-4C, F-4D, F-4E, and the RF-4C Phantoms in the ANG. High quality Phantom pictures in different paint schemes. Most photos are suitable for hanging on the wall.

Although there is no technical data of the F-4 in this book, the color photos of the Phantoms in this book are very nice.It shows the Phantoms final days in the late 80's. Very well done book. But if you really love the F-4, you should also buy "Spirit In The Skies" by Jon Lake.....it is by far the best Phantom book written to date.....I still recommend the book "Phantom Guardians" to any F-4 lover.

I loved it, i think it is the best book available until now, it has fabulous graphics, examples, the quality is the best i have ever seen in a book !!

This book is really excellent, it have a lot the exercices and tips about Photoshop 6.0, the chapter about the photoshop plugins is wonderfuld and the color and color corrections references great too.

I'm Argentinian, sorry for my bad english.

The Lighting-Rod Man is one of Melville's lesser known stories. Despite the cold, dark setting, it is more comical than most of his works other works. This satire tells about one door-to-door salesman, and how annoying, pushy, and arrogant he was to his perspective customer (Doesn't seem like a lot has change since then), and how he ends up getting thrown out of the house.
The story The Lighting-Rod Man jumps right into the story in the first paragraph and just goes, which makes it much easier to get into and a much easier read for those that have a hard time getting started reading. I feel that it is worthy buying The Piazza Tales even if you just read this one story let alone the five other stories.

Put simply, this is the best collection of short stories by any American author.

Picasso's Errand is by far one of the funniest books I have read in a very long time. His journey takes the reader through a varying array of emotions-so many times I burst out laughing (loudly, I might add) reading this book. Each character was unique and made the story all the more richer. By the time I got to the last few chapters, I realized I had no choice but to keep reading until I finished it. The book has a surprise ending that I never saw coming which made the book even more captivating up until the end. The story never stalls or lags and keeps the reader interested in how things will turn out for Matthew when his journey ends. Definitely a great book and well worth the time spent reading it.

Hauser's humor will pinch and poke you and then sneak up on you! I read the first chapter in bed and kept waking my wife with my laughter. The personality and character of Mathew Picasso leaps from the pages and allows the reader to "look through Matt's eyes" at everyday life and the many oddities we often overlook. I started to look forward to the introduction and description of new characters, which were entertaining in themselves. The story takes you on a journey that makes you fear for Matt and hate the evil hitchiker. Not since "To Kill a Mockingbird" have I sensed this much fear from a book (and this is a comedy!). The end of the book crashes all of your notions for the driving force behind the "Errand"!

I believe that this is definitely the best book ever written on any form of entertainment in our culture. It is the kind of book that makes you feel a great deal of adulation, sympathy, love, or any other emotion for the characters, the silent screen stars, just by seeing their photographs. The reader can literally feel themselves fall back about ninety or so years while looking through this immense photo gallery which captures stars in their natural element and heydey. Where else can you find big names like Lillian and Dorothy Gish, Mary Pickford, Rudolph Valentino, Gloria Swanson, and Douglas Fairbanks? Or, names that were big then, like, Norma and Constance Talmadge, Robert Harron, and Alice Joyce? Or, even sound stars who were also silent screen players like, Joan Crawford, Ronald Colman, Gary Cooper, and Myrna Loy? I would recommend this anthology to anybody, film buff (which I am a HUGE HUGE one!) or photography student. It is an indespensible collection for the eyes to feast on, thousands of pictures of the most important people in the world. Enjoy!!![.]
(This review based on the edition published in 1953, and by Daniel Blum alone.)

The kind of book (originally published, I believe, in the early '60s) which just could not be done today, as photo reproduction costs have skyrocketed. Seemingly millions of scene stills and portraits crammed chronologically into this coffee-table book make it invaluable, compulsive reading for anyone interested in the silent screen. Also search second-hand stores for the late Mr. Blum's "Great Stars of the American Theater."

Our barrier island of N.E. Florida, stretching from Mayport to St. Augustine, is changing day by day. With the rapid development of business and residential areas, our pristine land has but faded memories. Escape from your daily grind, head for the nearest beach chair and relive a wonderful true story.

It is filled with the struggles of a true native family, living on the edge of swampland, a short distance from where a now famous tiger prowls the TPC/Sawgrass golf course. As a reader, one feels blessed to have all the modern conveniences we now enjoy.

A truly inspiring book depicting life at the turn of the century in rural Jacksonville and the surrounding beaches.

Before the age of the internet collectors of Philip K. Dick books had only this volume to help them out. It, too, is now a valuable collector's item in its own right. An essential tome for the fan of PKD and worth every penny of whatever they're charging for it -- Lord RC

For the serious collector of Philip K. Dick books Levack's bibliography is essential. Contains lots of b/w cover scans from before 1988, including some foreign. All kinds of obscure odds and ends in here too. A great book to have.

This prequel/sequel to The Bone Orchard makes good on all the promise of that first book featuring Declan MacManus. In moody, lyrical prose, Judson takes us through Mac's boozy recollection of a bewildering night spent with a woman named Rose. A dreamlike interval, it is ultimately pivotal to this second outing for hard-drinking, vegetarian Mac and his friend, just as hard-drinking, retired DEA agent--the inimitably lovable Augie.

When the pair are asked to discourage a young man from seeing a certain unnamed young woman by the darkly omnipotent Frank Gannon, big wheel in small-town Southampton, all hell breaks loose. Murder and menace of every conceivable variety are central to a plot so confoundingly complex that it's impossible to predict a single moment of this beautifully executed, breakneck-paced novel. The writing is as lean and lonely as Mac himself--perfectly complimentary, something rarely achieved.

This book is a knock-out, dealing as it does with the ugly inner machinations of wealthy families and the fallout on the children, as well as on those who must come along to perform damage control. The barely-contained energy of the prose provides a driving narrative that doesn't let up for a moment. It is un-put-downable, gripping, and oddly rewarding.
Most highly recommended.

He lives in a quiet little Long Island town that is home to the rich and famous but booms during the summer season. There is a clear class division year round between the rich and the working stiffs like Declan MacManus, a man barely making ends meet, who is drunk more than he is sober. Frank Gannon, a powerful private detective in the area, hires Mac and pairs him up with Augie to deal with a man who promised to stay away from a girl but broke his word.

When they catch up with the young man, they witness him being killed by professional hitmen. They follow them but the professional thugs escape while Augie gets injured and Mac saves their lives. Augie becomes Mac's new friend and the two work on cases for Frank until they can get a line on the killers. Neither Mac nor Augie realize they are the fall guys in a serpentine plot orchestrated by one of the town's most prominent families and the chief of police.

There are so many twists and turns in the POISONED ROSE that the audience will feel obsessed to read it in one sitting; that is if they want to find out who is the manipulator and who is the manipulated. Mac is a man with many flaws and failings but when the chips are down he is a man a friend can count on. He is in essence of a hero in every sense of the word. Daniel Judson is an expert at writing novel crime thrillers.

Wow. What a book. Jabotinsky expressed perhaps the clearest and most logical formulation of Zionism I have yet to read. He is truly one of the most brilliant men of out times. He speaks with a foresight so keen and accurate it borders on prophecy. A must read for anyone who wishes to grasp the meaning of Revisionist Zionism

You won't believe how effortlessly Dan Graham weaves actual events from the career of these political opportunists into hysterical satire. I couldn't put it down. And thank God the whole cigar episode was yet to happen when this novel was written -- I hate to think about what the author would have done with that!

I laughed out loud reading this book. The satire is biting, but truthful. I have recommended this book to many friends.
