For a realistic, hearfelt look at what it was like to dance at an infamous strip club, have a long love affair with porn king Artie Mitchell, and hang out with Hunter Thompson, this is the book to read! Full of uncanny detail, Corday's story is affectionate, funny, sexy, and a real page-turner. With a searing account of Artie's slaying by his brother Jim and the motives behind it, the murder trial which cost him $1.3 million, and the political connections that helped him get off with serving just 3 years at San Quentin.

An absolutely unmissable read for anyone interested in this bizarre story of two brothers who had the world on a string and then stuck a pin in it.

Simone Corday not only provides intimate details about working at the O'Farrell Theater, she kept track of conversations between she and her long-time lover Artie Mitchell, and her compadre Hunter S. Thompson in journals.

In her memoir, you are like a fly on the wall, drinking in so many delicious details about her life with these over-the-top counterculture icons.

It's a sensual, emotional page turner. You won't want to put it down, and then you will be crying out for more, lingering on that final page, and searching for old Mitchell Brothers' films to get more glimpses on her extraordinary life.

I had the cassette tape version of this book when I was younger and listened to it every night when I went to bed. When my first son was 4 I started to play it for him too, but one night the cassette player ate the tape and it was ruined forever. I have looked off and on over the last few years looking for a CD version and was soooooooo happy to find it on Amazon! This brings back so many memories and I am happy that my youngest son is still young enough to be able enjoy it too!

I was given the orginal book with cassette by my Grandmother in the early 1970's. I cherished the stories as a child and was excited when I uncovered my lost copy. This summer I introduced the Little Green Dragon as a part of storytime, a weekday ministry for preschoolers at our church. These stories lend themselves easily to the use of props and they encourage audience participation. The kids love them and beg for more. For Christmas my mother gave my children ages 2 and 4 years old their very own copy and we have been enjoying it daily. We also enjoy listening to the CD when we are on long car rides.

Hi! I really loved this book because the pictures are really pretty. Mary Maass must have alot of talent! thank you very much!

Written and photographed by Ellen B. Senisi, All Kinds of Friends, Even Green! is an adventurous picture book for beginning readers about a real-life pet iguana. Expertly taken color photographs of a boy and his beloved reptile companion, along with whimsical text, make All Kinds Of Friends, Even Green! unique, distinctive, and highly recommended.

I really liked this book, and so did my 6 year old son. I have a boy with special needs who is 5, and this author captured the curiousity and excitement of a small child so well, and then revealed the disability of the boy in the book in a very positive manner. My son had fun reading it, and I know that the ideas that were in the background are what I want my son to "get". I would definetely recommend this book.

"All Kinds of Friends, Even Green!" is written and photographed by Ellen B. Senisi. The text and photos tell a story about Moses, a disabled boy who gets around in his wheelchair. At school, his class is given an assignment to write about friends. Moses is inspired to write about a very special friend: Zaki, an iguana. Zaki is also disabled, having lost her back toes after a mite infection; Moses has a special affection with her.

This is a wonderful portrait of a multiethnic school environment that includes disabled youngsters. The acknowledgement section of the book thanks the participants at Zoller School in Schenectady, New York. After the main text there are three interesting supplemental articles: about disabilities, about young Moses, and about iguanas. The colorful, lively photos are enjoyable to look at. This book effectively reminds us that disability is an issue that affects both human and non-human beings. Moses and Zaki are likeable and admirable "characters," and the book movingly celebrates the special love a child has for a cherished pet.

Out of all the boring books we had to read, this one at least was interesting. And it was clear. I loved it.

Just love it. The readings are fascinating, and the introduction to each piece gives me the framework I need to understand it. The book gives proper balance to women's issues and takes a broad sociological approach--helps me understand more about the United States, as well as Environmentalism. Highly recommend this book!

This book is excellent. The anthologies available for the environmental movement in the United States are quite outdated, and we have needed another for a long time. The selections cover the subject matter very well, and keep the reader (and my students) interested--no small feat! His introduction is actually the best brief treatment of the subject I have ever read. I highly recommend this book. While my specialty is the history of fire, I find this book an extremely useful "big picture" for any class on environmentalism.

The product was exactly what I was looking for, easy to find and therefore an easy purchase. My only complaint would be the expected arrival time. Initially, I picked a shipping time that would have brought the product to me in 2-3 weeks. When I decided to upgrade shipping to something sooner, my quoted arrival time never changed, and I wasn't given the option of cancelling my order. Needless to say the product came early. But I just wish the quoted arrival time was more accurately posted.

I am an EXTREME fan of Anne Shirley--I've read the books, seen the movies, been to Prince Edward Island...and seen the musical! I just love this musical...I've seen it twice! This past summer and the summer of 2002. I have the soundtrack and I listen to it all the time. I just wish I could watch the actual production all the time. This musical is wonderful, so do buy the script and put on a local musical...you'll be sure to have a pleased audience!

This play is an excellent view in the wonderful world of Anne. I fell in love with the movie at a VERY young age, so was extatic to find out that it also had it's own musical! This play is impecably written... perfectly portraying the spunk of Anne, critical nature of Marila, and kind heart of Matthew! It even lets you into the world of a few minor characters, such as Lucilla Harris the shopkeeper, whom we all know for selling Matthew Cuthburt the dress with 'puffy sleeves'. It has the perfect balance of emotion and comedy. After reading this play, I actually brought it too my local theater company. It is in the works, and will be performed this fall! The lines are wity, and the songs catchy... what else could you ask for when looking for a musical with substance?! Whether you are looking for a future theatrical project, or simply a fun read, I know that you will find this play to be VERY rewarding!

This is the amazing story of one young woman's faith that leads her to find peace and healing in her search for tomorrow.
Doris has captured the meaning of faith and shown by example that there really can be Another Tomorrow beyond the pain of loss. Thru her faith in God, Doris tells how she managed to triumph over the loss of her young husband, get through the grief, and lead she and her toddler son to a victorious future. It is a wonderful story of courage and dedication that transcends the normal human instinct and is guided by faith, resulting in a roadmap to reclaiming your life.

A compelling story of faith in diffficult times. See how God's mercy and grace lead a young wife and mother through the death of her husband and bring her healing and restoration.

This book is refreshingly honest as a wife and mother continues on past the death of her beloved husband. Her faith sustains her and you want to know how she is able to cope. Inspiring.

There's much in this delightful little book that will remind you of Stephen Potter's "upmanship" books, as in gamesmanship. Potter, however, tended to emphasize the psychological ploys, and "winning games without actually cheating". You'll get the full gamut, however, in the Art of Coarse Rugby--psychology, rule-bending, and outright cheating. All done in good--or bad--fun. You'll read about the Old Rottinghamians, and their arch-foe the Bagford Vipers. You'll read about Slasher Williams ("so called because of his habit of letting his nails grow long in the rugby season").

It's suggested that one should always carry a small penknife, so that if you're ahead and worried about the other side catching up, you surreptiously puncture the rugby ball (in the Old Rottinghamian matches, spare rugby balls are an extreme rarity). If you have false teeth, leave them with the referee. If you need to bite an opponent, retrieve them from the ref, bite away, and return them to the ref. Having blood-spattered goalposts on your home turf can work wonders. Tell your rivals that you're taking up a collection before the match for an opponent in the previous match who had both his legs broken by a particularly vicious tackle by one of your players. There are suggestions about drawing up ambiguous instructions to help your opponents find your ground--hoping that 4-5 will get lost, and then if you must loan the other club a player, you always have a real ringer available. Bribing groundskeepers to close the field 15 minutes early when you're in the lead is a must. And so on.

We're not talking about the Lions here, or the All-Blacks, just low-level club rugby. You'll find this book lots of fun!

I laughed so hard reading this book! After reading his book you can tell if you are a rugger (play on the first side) or a coarse rugby player (play on the other sides). A must read for all rugby footballers

I read the original edition in the 1960's, and desperately want to find a copy.

It was one of the funniest books I ever read, but will appeal only to those who play, or are at least familiar with, rugby.

jonathan green paints with such bold, vibrant colors.....i love that there is always a little mystery in every painting.........
such as, i often wonder what she looks like under that hat........
i wonder,sometimes, who she's looking at......and then, somedays, i wonder where they are going.........
every day my mind drifts off to another place when i look at the same page painting.
truly enjoyable!

This calendar has colorful reproductions of Green's awesome paintings. If you love the South Carolina low country, you will love his work.

If you love vibrant colors, and appreciate the extraordinary talent of Jonathan Green, buy this calendar. I have bought his calendars for the last six (6) years and they are all collectibles, including this 2007 version. His ability to catch the wind, and to paint grass blade by blade while he shares the love of his people from the Gullah -all of this on the same canvas - is nothing short of brilliant.

This book arrived in perfect condition, was still shrink-wrapped and sent by priority mail. The vendor could not have done better by me, the customer.The book itself contains so many of the works by Dow and others whom he influenced that it will be many weeks before I have been able to study them all. And that was the purpose of my buying this book--an opportunity to study works by master artists. What I generally learn--after careful observation of master works-- sinks in and soon establishes itself overtly; for example, I find myself more able to recognize quality or the absence of it in decorative items around me. Even my gardens benefit from the expertise that I have absorbed. So, I am absolutely delighted by the book itself and by the superior service evidenced by the seller. And thank you, Amazon, for providing the available options for purchasing this magnificent book.

This is a valuable book for anyone interested in the decorative arts, especially for understanding the impact of the respected artist and teacher, Arthur Wesley Dow within both the American Arts and Crafts movement and American visual culture. It is a book suited both for the serious academic as well as the art enthusiast. Nancy E. Greene an Jessie Poesch have achieved a fine balance between their insightful scholarly text and the beautiful illustrations of prints, watercolors, photographs, pottery and furniture by Dow and other well-known exponents of this aesthetic shcool. This is truly a visual feast, a great book all around!

Lots and lots of visual reference material. You get to see Dow's work and then see the way his ideas and techniques bore fruit in the imaginations of his students. A perfect combination of useful text and outstanding color illustrations. This is a great example of the beautiful variety and creatifity at work during the few short years of the arts and crafts movement. Arts and Crafts was much more than a heavy dark brown Stickley table.

I remember this book from my childhood. I think my Mom had a copy in Swedish or Danish and she would translate as she read it to us. Now I can read it myself in English and still think it's great. The colorful women are just as they should be. There is nothing more pleasing to a child than predictable nice stories with very pretty pictures. I can highly recommend it.

I love Elsa Beskow books. They are so refreshing. Beautifully illustrated, with a story that has a dramatic plot line, and of course, a happy ending. This sweet story is the kick off to the other Peter & Lotta stories. I highly recommend it.

This book is a trip down memory lane for my wife who just happens to be Swedish. She first heard this story from her grandmother back in Sweden as a little girl. In the Swedish version her name is actually mentioned as it was one of the aunts. It doesn't appear in the english version. No matter it is still great and she love's it. The illustrations are fantastic. I know kids today prefer animated/graphic novels, but not for her. She has hunted high and low for this book, so it was a great thrill to be able to purchase this book for her.
