Dean Books

This wonderful piece of research is an extraordinary look at the late Ottoman period in Syria. The originality and adeptness with which the book is written and complex information is conveyed is unparalleled. History in its finest form is condensed into this work. Highly recommended to scholars and insomniacs alike!

A great book. I personally am not into the series of these books but I thought this was excellent. It's about this alien island that appears off the coast of Oregon. Sent to investigate is a team of scientists and a platoon of soldiers. But when they get there they find an abandoned alien city and the walking dead that are trying to kill these soldiers. An excellent book, one of the only ones I ever wanted to read again.

I thought that it was a cool book. My favorite part was she shoved clay in the boys mouth that was making fun of her project.I would reamend this to a family member or a friend

Excellent book written by someone who knew him well (also a movie based on it)Great product to own!

In November 1951, Bill Bast was a fellow theater arts student with James Dean at UCLA. When Dean was booted out of his college fraternity, he proposed to Bast that they rent an apartment together, which they soon did. A friendship developed which lasted until Dean's death. Bast's book is a sensitive memoir of Dean, was the first book published about the actor, and has been a vital source for other biographers since then.

This book contains a great many photos of James Dean that I have never seen and I have been a collector for 50 years. I bought it used and it is in beautiful shape. I am very happy with my purchase.

i love the pictures on this 2008 calender! alot of them are new and not seen in the 2007 calender!

A nice collection of James Dean's quotes thru the years (before his death). Read all about James Dean's outlook on: Romance, Acting, Cars & Bikes, Death & Glory, himself and lots more!

Fans, film historians, and even other biographers owe a lot to Martinetti's ground-breaking book. He presents a rounded, candid view of the boy from Indiana who became an icon on September 30, 1955. Martinetti's sources are the best -- Dean's friends during his lean New York years, those who knew Dean socially in Hollywood, and those who worked with him. Dean certainly made an impression on everyone who met him -- and in this book he'll make an unforgettable impression on you. Martinetti was, by the way, the first to address the issue of Dean's complex sexuality.

A smart, lively book about the morphing of a 1950s teen rebel figure into a star of international marketing. Springer uses films, poems, web sites, advertising, and small-town parades in an intelligent analysis of popular culture that reads like a novel. James Dean, the sullen Hollywood icon who excited Eisenhower era teenagers, became an ambiguous and provocative icon that spawned protest Disney movies ("The Love Bug"), explorations of sex and car wrecks ("Crash") contemporary teen rebels ("Boys Don't Cry") post-colonial ("Touki-Bouki" and "La Haine")post-human ("The Matrix) and virtual representations. This groundbreaking work is fun to read as well as astonishingly informative.
