Book Description
ANGEL SCENE:
(written and illustrated by Richard Kadrey)
Richard Kadrey, one of the few masters of cyberpunk, brings us into the world of the angels - biologically-engineered killing machines, created by the Men in Suits to be the ultimate assassins. Designed to get sexual pleasure from their murders, the life of the angels is one intensely erotic and violent escapade after another.
TEETH AND TONGUE LANDSCAPE:
(written by Carlton Mellick III, illustrated by Brian Doogan)
In a world made out of meat, a socially-obsessive monophobic man finds himself to be the last human being on the face of the planet. Desperate for social interaction, he explores the landscape of flesh and blood, teeth and tongue, trying to befriend any strange creature or community that he comes across.
Customer Reviews:
Teeth and Tongue Landscape is my new favorite Mellick book.......2006-03-27
Mellick's novella is written in the same minimalist style as Razor Wire Pubic Hair. Like that book, it reads like he took a lot of time to craft each sentence. But in the introduction, he says that he doesn't remember writing the book. The reason why I prefer this one is because it doesn't contain so much sex and violence that it begins to feel repetitive to me. Now I like that sort of thing, but scattered around here and there rather than on every page.
Which brings me to Kadrey's novella, Angel Scene. That's exactly why I didn't care for it. Too much repetition and not much of anything else.
Regardless, Teeth and Tongue Landscape is so wonderful that I'm still going to give the book five stars. Its surreal world is so well-conceived that I could nearly taste the flavor of its meat. Everybody should visit there for an afternoon.
Teeth and Tongue Landscape.......2006-02-20
"Teeth and Tongue Landscape" is an interesting, surreal look at a human being living in a world made of meat. The relationship between him and the robot woman he falls in love with is very interesting. During his search for more people, he runs into some very weird adventures.
The story has a very dreamlike quality, and Mellick's voice is well developed and the characters are all very unique. As usual, he creates a world that nobody else (to my knowledge) has ever conceived. So much happens in this short novella, and I wished for more detail in places, but overall it was very good. I would recommend this to any Mellick fan.
"Angel Scene" was, as it seems all of the other reviewers agree, a bit over the top with its violence and wasn't as good as the Mellick portion of the novel. Regardless, it is a fast read and it wasn't really that bad. Mostly, it was a bonus story that came with a very good Mellick book.
Just needs more direction.......2006-01-07
I liked the stories for the most part. I loved the gore in Angel Scene and how it made me twinge a little with the details, but it just needed some more direction. I want to know about the Men in Suits (might be a good follow-up novel). Need more detail.
Concerning Teeth story; good story. The story was everywhere, but I loved it. I am going to start buying Carlton's books more. I bet other authors start copying his style.
Overall, if you like bizarre books, might as well pick this up. It will only take a day or two to read.
This is the most "literature" of Mellick's books.......2005-09-29
For some reason, I was thinking that this book had the most literature quality to it than his others. I could see a class in uni devoted to 21 century literature and "Teeth and Tongue" landscape being on the syllabus. The style seems a little different than his other books so far.
I hope that made some sense.
I loved the book. There are lots of flesh landscapes in Mellick's books. Things (all things) seem to be alive, and have sex.
This, combined with the minimalist style and great, demented art of Kadrey's "Angel Scene" bring about a great book.
Two sides to every story, yes.......2005-08-21
I'll be completely honest, I haven't made it through "Angel Scene" yet. I bought this because of Carlton Mellick "Teeth and Tongue Landscape", and just haven't felt any motivation to read through "Angel Scene". That being said, however, Mellick's story alone is worth more than the price of this double print. The story exists in a place that is exactly what the title makes it sound like. Never before have I read a story where after I finished, I remembered the characters and settings through actual physical sensation and texture rather than visual images. The words Mellick uses to describe the scenery are descriptive in the sense of feeling, smell and sound, and this goes a long long way to create a world in which these sensations become far more immportant than your vision. It is a completely unique manner of storytelling, and Mellick pulls it of effortlessly. Highly recommended for anyone who would like to experience a familiar medium in an unfamiliar manner.
Product Description
L.A.'S BLACK ELITE, 80'S DECADANCE, LUST, GREED, and GOLD Fabulously wealthy Californian Courtney Hamilton, the great-granddaughter of a black gold miner, is an African American heiress who has it all -- the looks, upbringing, education and enough money -- to get whatever and whoever she wants. But instead of dating the well-groomed society boys who populate her posh life, Courtney falls hard for Richard Thurston, a handsome, edgy charmer from another world -- the gritty streets of South Central L.A. Dead-set against her only daughter's first romance, Courtney's mother uses her power and deceitful nature to make Richard disappear. Crushed by what she thinks was Richard's cruelty, Courtney toughens up and moves on with her life by graduating from USC film school and becoming a Hollywood producer. She soon tackles her dream project: a movie tracing her family history back to African Americans who became rich toiling in the gold mines of 1849 California. But, several unexpected events prevent the film's premiere. In spite of all the twists and turns, deceit and scandal, Courtney finds her passion in life which leads her to true happiness.
Customer Reviews:
A Must Read.......2006-10-23
I really enjoyed reading this book because of the combination of romance and historical details. The author provides the readers with so much more than the typical romance story.
AFRICAN AMERICAN HEIRESS - A GREAT READ.......2006-01-13
Angela De Mola-Marcano's "African American Heiress" is a real achievment in the romance novel genre. Her well-researched book gives one a rare view of Los Angeles in the 1970's and 80's while also telling a very romantic story.
This author is very talented at drawing characters one quickly relates to and cares about. Overall this novel made me feel both nostolgic and very romantic. Read it and see.
Don't miss this one!.......2005-11-08
Far from the stereotypical images of the African American family in modern society, this book explores the world of members of an upper middle class Los Angeles family, who happen to be Black.
Its flawless attention to detail, riveting storyline and excellent love theme make it a sure hit. I literally read it in the bathtub, snuck it at work and let the phone pick up my messages while I finished African American Heiress.

Ideal for the Fans.......2006-08-29
This is a great book to own if you are into The Man of Steel. There is an introduction to the book and a biography of the creators at the end. Even though comics 2-6 are absent from this volume, its a great thing for younger fans to read because it takes you into the world that Siegel and Schuster have originally created showing how the character has developed over the past 67 years.
The Zeus of modern American mythology..........2006-06-25
Superman has flown through American culture for nearly seventy years. He has appeared in almost every twentieth century entertainment medium: comics, television, and movies. With such ubiquity and staying power, it's probably fair to say that Superman stands as the Zeus of modern American mythology. Not only that, as Comic historian Mark Waid says in this book's introduction, Superman vicariously fulfills nearly every person's hidden dream of invincibility. Nothing can touch this guy. Not crooks with guns, not the law (who also have guns), not corrupt politicians (who might have guns), not even larger than life supervillans. In short, Superman embodies the American principle that "in America you can do what you want." If you're Superman, this is definitely true. How many people wouldn't want to shed their vulnerable human skins for that kind of power?
Superman has become an all-out good guy in his later years. Now he works with the law, and dishes out justice by the book. For those familair with only this late Superman, the stories in this volume will produce gaping, eye-widening shock. In these early stories Superman takes the law into his own hands and metes out justice on his own eye-for-an-eye terms. In the first story, Superman drags a corrupt Senator on a terrifying trip from building to building and live power line to live power line. "I wonder if we can jump all the way to that building?" he asks. "NO DON'T" his captive pleads. He jumps and says "Missed -- doggone it!" while the politician writhes in agony. Over a series of live wires Superman man says "Oops! Almost touched that pole!" The Senator gives out a "Ye-eow!" By the hands of Superman, criminals receive the same treatment they dish out to their victims. A man involved in rigging a circus gets tossed into the air until he confesses. A wisecracking office mate gets his clothes torn off as retribution. Many get hit hard, one gets dropped into tar, a governor gets abducted from his bed to hear the confession of a corrupt workhouse superintendent that Superman has locked in the "hot box". Superman faces a man sneaking out to gamble, crushes his watch and tells him, "See how easily I crush your watch in my palm? If you don't quit gambling I'll look you up and give your neck the same treatment." The early Superman was a bully for justice. He used brute force to clean up crime. Even against the police and the army (see issue 8). Nothing stops him.
The first half dozen stories feature Superman cleaning up human corruption. Evil businessmen and organized crime mafiosos get what's coming to them (usually in the form of Superman's fists). He helps out everything from a failing circus and a deceived oil company to a cab company victimized by protection money hoodlums. Most of the stories hail him as "friend of the helpless and oppressed." But he doesn't really receive any real challenges until the "Ultra-Humanite" (a proto Lex Luthor) appears. This arch-villain delivers some memorable but quaint lines such as "I am known as 'The Ultra-Humanite'. Why? Because a scientific experiment resulted in my possessing the most agile and learned brain on earth! Unfortunately for mankind, I prefer to use this great intellect for crime. My goal? Domination of the world!!" Superman's new enemy basks in his depravity. He knows he's evil and he loves it. From this point on most of the corrupt rackets broken up by Superman have the "Ultra-Humanite" behind them. And the not so subtle social commentary of the early issues morphs into a battle of good (Superman) over evil (Ultra). Ultra represents Superman's evil alter-ego. Every time Superman destroys him, he returns. He even gets his "mighty brain" transplanted into a female Hollywood celebrity's "young vital" body (a rather amusing scene). Superman changes forever in this volume. The last stories point to the future of the comic: larger than life villains who also have superpowers and flailing egos. Gone forever are the days when Superman merely "cleaned up" towns of human crime by taking the law into his own hands. A huge metamorphosis.
Not only that, Superman's powers would later increase. Here he doesn't fly, but only leaps. His x-ray vision hasn't yet evolved into laser penetrating retinas. At this time the Superman of today remains slightly unrecognizable. Lois Lane doesn't even appear all that often. And there's absolutely no mention of Krypton or Kryptonite (but the reworked first story in "Superman Archive Volume 1" does). Superman has not yet obtained his famous Achilles' heel.
This volume reprints the original Action Comics, including Superman's very first appearance, but with a hitch: issues two through six appeared in the "Superman" comic that appeared in 1939. DC reprinted these in "Superman Archives Volume One" and only summarize the stories here. So a gap appears after the first issue. Regardless, this volume still remains a lot of fun to read. It shows how one of the most ubiquitous and recognizable figures in modern American culture got his start. And though Superman's creators, Jerry Siegel and Joel Shuster, both died in the 1990s their creation still lives inexorably on with no signs of stopping.
Not great but fun to read.......2006-06-21
It seems unthinkable that the police would ever look at Superman as a dangerous criminal but in this collection that is exactly what they do. But this is not the Superman we all know but a vigilante who does whatever he wants in the name of justice. If he wants to destroy property and ruin the lives of criminals that's just what he does. If he sees something he considers an injustice he acts on it. If that means he rips down slum dwellings to force better housing to be built then he does it. But then remember that this is Superman from the beginning of his legend in 1938 and he has yet to run up against the likes of Lex Luthor or Brainiac. But there are some recognizable elements of the Superman we all know so well here as we see him using his x-ray vision for the very first time.
It's funny to see Superman fighting against stock swindlers, protection rackets and reckless drivers but those are the kinds of threats he deals with in this collection. His vision of the world seems very black and white with little middle ground in between. You are either a good person or you aren't and he will deal with you accordingly. This Superman doesn't hesitate to intimidate criminals to get a confession whether they are gangsters or corrupt politicians. But even here in his early days Superman has to deal with elements of the fantastic, when he faces off against long time DC villain the Ultra Humanite. In the fine tradition of all mad scientists he wants to rule the world and seems to have the brains to make it happen. Comic writer Mark Waid gives some insight into the debut of Superman in the forward of this collection that is worth reading. You should also take a few moments to admire some of the dynamic cover art by Joe Shuster and Fred Guardineer. This collection contains Action Comics #1, and issues 7-20 and a summary of issues 2-6. The only reason I gave this 3 stars is that these are not the most exciting stories around but still for the sake of nostalgia worth reading at least once.
Wonder and Excitement that will Appeal to All.......2006-03-12
With "Superman: The Action Comics Archives", DC goes back to the first Superman stories. I imagine the reason DC archived Superman in multiple series has much to do with the initial popularity of the character with his multiple appearances, plus the fact that many of Superman's first stories in "Action Comics" were reprinted in his the first issues of his own solo title. Since I am largely up to date on the "Superman Archives" proper, which reprinted the solo series, going back and reading "The Action Comics Archives" is fun little treat, as one is reminded of how much the character changed in just his first decade.
While I knew that Superman was initially a social crusader, its amazing just how much of one he really was. In these pages, Superman puts and end to juvenile delinquency by leveling a slum, and allowing the government to rebuild it. He forces the city of Metropolis got clamp down on reckless driving. He investigates the abusive behavior of a prison camp. And he cleans up the gambling rackets in the city. Naturally, all of these actions bring Superman into conflict with city officials and police, and Superman seems more of a renegade than super-hero.
However, even early on, Joe Shuster and Jerry Siegel realized that their larger-than-life hero needed some larger than life adversaries. Thus came Ultra-Humanite, Superman's opposite number, a crippled, aged scientific genius who engages in several brilliant schemes designed to terrorize the population and enrich himself. His greatest trick, however, is transferring his brain from body to body (something the character continued to do, even if DC's shifting continuity made Ultra a JSA villain, not a Superman one). The Ultra stories are the most fun, since they are pretty straightforward super-hero tales.
While the stories aren't deep character studies, Siegel had a strong sense of adventure and humor, as Superman uses his powers to right wrongs, frequently opting for humiliation and intimidation.. Shuster's art, while generally cartoony, is clear and communicates the awe and wonder the stories require. There are some moments of near-perfect detail. For example, as Superman confronts an actress who has inexplicably kidnapped several colleagues, Shuster presents one single panel of a head-shot of the woman, eyes blazing fiendishly. This moment tips Superman off that the girl is actually Ultra, but also communicates to the reader just how evil this person is, despite the otherwise simplistic quality of the art as a whole.
Despite the flaws endemic to golden age comic books, the early Superman stories nonetheless age quite well. They are filled with such wonder and excitement that even a veteran reader will find appealing. Enjoy.
The comic book that started it all with The Man Of Steel!.......2001-09-20
Superman made his debut in Action Comics #1 in June, 1938. He became an instant sensation with readers, and started the superhero trend.
Superman: The Action Comics Archives volume 1 reprints only the Superman stories from Action Comics #1, and #7-20 (issues 2 thru 6 were reprinted in early issues of Superman). These stories featured a Man of Steel who did anything to get justice done, including escaping from Police whenever they get on his trail! He didn't have all the superpowers that his modern version has today, or that modern version's sense of justice.
Superman fought normal criminals in his early years, before getting a regular rogues gallery like arch mastermind Lex Luthor, the alien Brainiac, Bizarro, The Prankster, etc. One villain who became Superman's first recurring foe in this book was the Ultra-Humanite. A sinister villain who was thwarted by the Man of Steel many times.
Read the classic stories from comics' Golden Age that started it all in Superman: The Action Comics Archives!

Lots of chapters and nothing special........2006-10-14
I'm disappointed with the book. There are several chapters named for the holidays and several that I do not consider holidays. Such as, Summer Picnics, Fall Favorites, Kid's Celebrations, Fancy Foods for a Diabetic Diet, Low-Carb Celebrations, Low-Fat Celebrations, and Ethnic Favorites. There are also several cocktail recipes. I don't think this book is worth the cost or the time to look at it.

Beware of Paper Cuts.......2006-05-26
This book is dedicated to the intimate art of the little paper costume. This is not origami and is closer to paper dolls. The book is nicely laid out and the introduction maintains the illusion of this being a true ancient artform. What is the artform? Well, it is to cut out and assemble little costumes or disguises to be placed over the erect male member.
The costumes span quite a rangr from a pig to a space shuttle. Most of the book is taken up with the heavy printed pages that comprise the parts of the costumes. If you were to actually go ahead with one of these constructions, the dicrections are quite simple and clear. Just watch out for paper cuts.
All in all there are 14 models. The are The Dragon, The Cock (rooster), The Squid, The Moth, The Pig, The Fish, The Horse, The Dog, The Rose, The Car, The Steam Engine, The Space Shuttle, The Fire Engine and The Private Investigator.
Too funny............2005-06-26
This is a laugh-out-loud satire of eastern mysticism sex guides that take their subject way too seriously. Repeat: satire. There is no ancient Japanese erotic art of penis puppetry although the authors cleverly include an academic-sounding history and so forth, a la "Why Cats Paint" and other books by these tongue-in-cheek art critic / historians. (Must get ahold of their "Kama Sutra for Cats" some time). Anyway, this book is a scream, really. And there are little models complete with haiku dialogue you can try at home! Brilliant. Especially recommended as a gag gift to those of Asian descent sick and tired of having people around them ask about their "ancient Chinese secrets" and so forth.
Ummm ... can we say certain words here?.......2003-09-09
Costumes. For your phallic appendage. These are puppets specifically designed for the male's eleventh digit. The colors in this book are quite vibrant. I think the authors are serious (though the pictures on their web site show them grinning quite deviously). A search of the web for the term "kokigami" indeed turns up over 700 hits (many duplicates). The whole idea of kokigami is just weird. It underscores that cultures can have radical differences.
I once read a book: Kokigami,
full of puppets to dress a salami,
of interest, sure,
if you have thoughts impure,
to lasciviously cavort on tatami.
Paper craft at its most erotic.......2002-05-30
Almost everyone is familiar with origami, the art of paper folding, but kokigami is a [bird]... of an entirely different feather. The first definitive instructional guide to this ancient Japanese art, KOKIGAMI brings to life-quite literally-this most mysterious practice from the Orient. Written specifically for Westerners, KOKIGAMI contains 14 beautiful little paper costumes that are a delight to make and a rare pleasure to use. The authors' writings on the history and lore of the art will intrigue anyone interested in Japanese paper arts, and the costumes themselves will fascinate and inspire those eager to add new and exciting dimensions to their intimate relationships.

Book Description
It's no surprise that France ranks among the world's most popular tourist destinations. This large and sparsely populated country has it all—a fascinating historical legacy, a gastronomic culture that is unsurpassed, and a tradition of good living that remains remarkably unaltered by the stresses of modern life. And France's scenery is spectacular, with mountains and marshlands, gorges and rolling countryside, and a coastline ranging from the rugged shores of Brittany to the benign and jewel-bright playgrounds of the Mediterranean. All this, naturally enough, means there is an unparalleled choice of world-class places to stay: medieval châteaux, rural farmhouses, alpine chalets, grand city hotels, and—of course—the very latest in interior design. Hip Hotels: France presents the traveler with the most authentically individual hotels that the country has to offer. Choose between the ornate style of colonial Indochina or the ultrachic pared-down touch of Christian Liaigre, a fisherman's hut on the south Atlantic coast or the hip modernity of Le Corbusier's Unité d'Habitation in Marseille, long a Mecca for devotees of modernist architecture and now partially converted into a hotel. Some hotels are established, some virtually unknown, but every one is a unique response to the geography, culinary culture, and design heritage of its particular location. So whether you are an adventurer, a gourmet, or a design aficionado, this third volume in the phenomenally successful Hip Hotels series is guaranteed to lure you away to explore every corner of France. 387 color and 151 b/w photographs.

Waste of money!.......2004-05-02
What a waste of money!!!! I was sooo exited about receiving this book, and especially because the reviews were so good. But a complete dissapointment. Hardly any pictures. Each hotel has a page or two briefly describing it, with artsy pictures which i hate, cause you only see a close of a stupid door handle, or a side of a table. IT MAKES ME INSANE WHEN PICTURES ARE LIKE THAT. PUT THE WHOLE PICTURE IN FOR HEAVENS SAKE! So if you think this book will show you complete pictures of hotel rooms, and lobbys your mistaken. Dont bother!

Found a wonderful place to stay in Troyes!!!!!.......2002-03-17
Hi. We got the Valentine's Day [money]round trip air fare to Brussels on SAS and were looking for a place to stay in the Champagne region of France. We used this book to find Les Champs des Oiseaux in Troyes, France. Since we were traveling with a 2 year old, I wrote the hotel in advance to find a room where we wouldn't disturb other guests if Luke had jet lag and wanted to play at 2 am. They identified this suite for us (only [money] per night), and it was perfect. We stayed 4 nights and didn't want to leave.
A visual feast.......2002-01-25
This book is one of the most beautifully photographed I've seen in years. Not only did it inspire me to stay in the Villa Gallici when I was in France over the Christmas holidays, but I have spent hours poring over the gorgeous pictures, finding inspiration for the decor of my new house.
One great drawback of the book is that it doesn't include a map of France at the front or back, showing where the hotels are located. (My boyfriend is French, and even he didn't know some of the towns where the hotels are situated.)

five isn't just another boy band as they said in their biography.they don't just sing pop music either they add a little rap in there and do a great job of it!they're not rappers and they don't sing hip hop R&B as they clearly pointed out they just add it in to spice up their music.i love five and i think i'm the # 1 fan if you think differently please feel free to e-mail me at asreeves@uswest.net all of there merchandise is deffinately worth buying!

I would have bought this book just because it's Five's but it was really worth it. All the pics are amazing and show the boys how they really are. So if you are going to buy a book on Five, buy this one!
