Book Description
Award-winning videomaker, performance artist, and pop-culture provocateur Kip Fulbeck has captivated audiences worldwide with his mixture of high comedy and personal narrative. In Paper Bullets, his first novel, Fulbeck taps into his Cantonese, English, Irish, and Welsh heritage, weaving a fictional autobiography from 27 closely linked stories, essays, and confessions. By turns sensitive and forceful, passionate and callous, Fulbeck confronts the politics of race, sex, and Asian American masculinity head-on without apology, constantly questioning where Hapas fit in a country that ignores multiracial identity.

WOW........2007-03-21
I got this book after seeing the author's other book Part Asian 100% Hapa (HIGHLY recommended btw). I had no idea what to expect but even if I did I'd be surprised. It had me laughing out loud, crying, angry, sad, you name it. It's touching and strong at the same time. Kudos to an obviously sensitive author for having the courage to put it out there whether the character is him or not!!!
Straight up and no apologies!!!.......2007-03-12
We read this for my class on contemporary pop fiction. Almost everyone really liked it especially the pop culture and frankness about sex and Asian-American politics. No one writes about this stuff so that was refreshing and way better than a lot of the other books on the reading list.
It does push you though so watch out. Two people just couldn't get over it or themselves. One girl kept calling it sexist even though our professor and the other women in class including myself kept trying to explain the book was a criticism of it (duh) and one guy couldn't separate the author from the character and kept calling him cocky and narcissistic no matter how much we discussed the concepts of critical non-fiction which was the WHOLE POINT OF THE ASSIGNMENT. I think they just had issues!
All in all it's one of the better books I've read (certainly the best in this class). And since I love spazzing reactions I'm glad it pushes people's buttons!
gutsy, well-written and moving.......2007-03-12
though i'm not hapa myself, i borrowed this book from a friend, and i'm really struck by it. this guy just fillets himself open to the readers examination, not sugar-coating or excusing his own insecurities or narcissism.
the kind of secrtets that he reveals about himself are what we normally keep tucked safely away--from others as well as our own concious minds.
though the book's focus is largely that of growning up struggling with being a variety of mixed race not yet really acknowledged, the poignancy of fulbeck's metamophasis into manhood will appeal to any reader.
awesome!
Drowning in a Sea of Narcissism.......2007-02-22
In the final pages of his "fictional autobiography," author Kip Fulbeck writes of his gift for putting words on paper. This single line speaks volumes, but as Narcissus drowned from staring at his reflection, so too does this writer. Sadly, the reader is the real victim. If I were imitating Fulbeck I would spend the remainder of this short review wringing this analogy dry. There are some clever ideas, but Fulbeck is too in love with his own wit to let anything stand. Every metaphor is taken too far, and the result is a book that become tedious and frustratingly annoying. The character (Fulbeck?) soon reveals himself to be a person you would not want to know, despite his constant reminders of how talented, good-looking, and accomplished he is. Interestingly, Fulbeck seems to have spent a lifetime being disappointed in the people around him, who never live up to his own standards. He himself, he reveals too often, is nearly flawless.
reads like a novel.......2004-07-10
This autobiography reads somewhat like a novel. Humorous, lots of sex, some discussion of racial identity issues and dating. I would have liked a little more of the latter.
The book moves at a good pace but goes into the sex stuff a little too much for me. Enjoyable. Fulbeck doesn't pretend to have any answers here.

Book Description
This is a fully illustrated 88 page black-and-white journey into some very surreal and very bizarre psychological territory. This is the story of a family of three and their Christmas holiday experience involving a collection of plastic five-gallon buckets of flesh, a father whose behavior is dictated by some form of self-induced dream-logic, a "hollow" daughter, an emaciated mother-figure in an attic, dehydrated kittens, a post-hole digger, platelets, milk, and breakfast cereal.
Book Description
The Iron Empires: Eight weary nations, spanning three million light years of the Milky Way Galaxy. They are the withering remains of a human civilization once immeasurably vast. Their dying has not been quiet. Sheva's War, the second in the series of Christopher Moeller's acclaimed Iron Empires graphic novels, propels us further into a distant future, into a turbulent age of war, terror, and corruption. You will follow a beautiful, but hardened, soldier on her campaign to repel an alien menace, as she faces a bitter struggle against insuperable odds.

Fanastic.......2007-01-12
Absolutely fantastic graphic novel. I picked this and "Faith Conquers" up as I had bought Luke Cranes "Burning Empires RPG". The stories and characters in these novel are great and it really makes the rules of the game make sense.
Artwork is great and the concept of man fighting off invaders who in this story try to use and overwhelming force and in "Faith" by deception and infiltration. Really good stuff.
eye-popping art and a gripping story.......2006-11-14
Shiva's War contains gorgeous artwork and a rich story full of three-dimensional characterizations. Moeller's dramatic work is a fine addition to any collection of science fiction graphic novels. Although not the first work in the series, it is fine as a stand-alone work.
(After reading it, many buyers will wish to buy Faith Conquers.)
The rich universe, created by Christopher Moeller, has recently been adapted into a popular roleplaying game, Burning Empires.
Good art, good story.......2004-06-05
This is the second book in the series. It collects a few of the original comics, long out of print, under one cover. Together, the pieces here represent a complete story from the longer-running Iron Empires series.
This has everything I want in a good comic. The art is strong and painterly, the story makes sense and moves well, and the visual narrative is at least descriptive as the text. The book is well printed, giving Moeller's art every chance to show itself off. Maybe it's not a great comic, but greatness is rare. It's still good.
As near as I can tell, these collections of the original DC comics are just coming out now, around the time I write this. I usually like the collected-comic format, because I don't have to wait a month for the story to continue. Now, though, I have to wait for the next collection! Based on what I've seen to date, the wait will be worthwhile.
Moeller has done a good job here, and I look forward to seeing more of his work.

"Dining together allows us to better understand who we are, regardless of our social status," writes Art Smith, author of Back to the Table, a cookbook that explores the meaning of the dining ritual while providing 150 recipes to "strengthen bonds between loved ones." Personal chef to Oprah Winfrey and a contributing editor to her magazine, O, Smith grew up in the Southern cooking tradition, the underpinning of this enticing home-style collection. Smith's reiterated message--that we return to the "sanctity of the table"--is unassailable; his recipes, however, really make the point. Readers looking for good food to cook and share will find the book a much-turned-to treasure.
Chapters like "Breaking Bread," "The Family Meal," and "Food Is Love" organize recipes around the communal eating theme. "The Family Meal," for example, includes exemplary everyday formulas for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, such as Zucchini and Tomato Frittata, Carrot-Ginger Soup with Minted Yogurt, and Grilled Fish Fillets with Watercress Mustard and Tarragon. Other outstanding recipes--such as Mushroom, Provolone, and Rosemary Pizza, Sunday Dinner Pot Roast, and Spring Vegetable Lasagna--reflect and encourage shared cooking and enjoyment. Formulas for sweets are woven throughout the book and include such delights as Kumquat-Ginger Pound Cake, Chocolate Pecan Pie, and an old-fashioned Peanut Brittle. Illustrated with photos that depict the food and cooking processes or show people enjoying meals together, the book reminds readers of the culinary and spiritual pleasures of the shared table. --Arthur Boehm

LOVE IT!!!.......2006-04-04
This cookbok is very well put together. Not only are the recipes fabulous (try the mixed berry muffins), but the photography and poetry are inspirational and just plain lovely. This book is well worth having in your collection.
I love it!.......2006-03-15
I find myself reaching for this book again and again. Many of the recipes in it have become my new favorites! I don't know what I did without it. It is a welcomed addition to my cookbook collection.
Warm and Wonderful.......2005-09-12
Though my family and I do not often buy cookbooks, we agreed that this one was a "keeper." Some interesting recipes that are "doable," and good text.
great cookbook for people who want to cook.......2004-05-19
This is a great cookbook. I am not sure why people say the recipes are time consuming. They aren't. Yes- you need to know how to cook, follow instructions and have a pantry that doesn't have pre-processed boxed food. For the main courses, Art's showing you recipes that are made with real food and require about 30 minutes of prep time (most of them) and then time to cook. Everything that I've made is delicious. The vegetable lasagna, the scalloped potatoes and dinner rolls are wonderful. Anytime that you make a new recipe it takes a little longer than expected. If you make it again, it usually goes faster. I love this cookbook and it is one that I always look at to find a new recipe. I love it so much that this and Barefoot Contessa are the only cookbooks that I am bringing it on a two month relocation to TX. Buy this cookbook for the great recipes.
Why all the bad reviews?.......2004-04-08
I'm really quite surprised by the number of reviews slamming this book for having time consuming recipes. It is a shame this has gotten in the way of people enjoying some really great recipes. One reviewer even stated that "not everyone has a Kitchenaid mixer or a cast iron skillet." OK, I'll give you the mixer, but a skillet? Come on, any seasoned cook should have one and if the don't, they cost a mere $12-$15 and will last for several generations. I use my grandmother's. It is a must when cooking Southern food.
Let's face some facts, here: The recipes in this book are, or are largely influenced by, classic Southern cuisine. First, this isn't 30-Minute Meals. This is not to say all of the recipes take a long time, because many of them are great for a weeknight. But some are meant for Sunday dinners (the most wonderful of family traditions) and special occassions when one has time to devote to lingering in the kitchen. Back to the Table is about slowing down and enjoying your time at the table with your family. It's about tradition. What it is not about is running around like a chicken with its head cut off and trying to get dinner on the table in 30 minutes flat.
Don't get me wrong... Quick cooking is important these days. But if all of our cooking is done in a hurry, even on weekends, we are missing the true rewards of cooking. I recommend that we all slow down, at least once a week, and take time to really be a part of the kitchen.

Customer Reviews:
Basic and non updated.......2006-11-10
This book was written 1n 1993.... even though the basics remain the same, there are other books on the subjet like the ones written by Myra Savant-Harris that are 100% more updated.
Love It.......2003-10-15
I love this book. Great information wether you have a litter on the ground or are just thinking about it. I always reference this book. It's great to have around for everyday dog life as well. There's a lot of detail and I've had 2 litters and this book and The Joy of Breeding your Own Show dog were my staples! I couldn't have been more prepared without them!
Can I get My Money Back??.......2001-05-04
I found the author's views on early puppy socialization to be wrongheaded and even dangerous. With a large potentially aggressive breed the responsble breeder begins handling pups AT BIRTH. The daily frequent contact with pups enables them to handle stress and bond with humans from the beginning of life. It is a very poor breeder who does not handle those babies every day or even several times a day. Cutting nails, etc. begins later but holding, cuddles, breathing on, petting must happen at once. Worst book I've ever read on breeding and puppy socialization!
Breeding a Litter.......2000-06-08
I have been trying desperately to find a book that would give me complete and detailed information as far as breeding a litter. This was not easy to do, but Breeding a Litter is a wonderful answer all book. For the person just starting out in Dog Breeding this is a wonderful source. If you have a question this book definitly has the answer. Great Book!
Breeding A Litter by Beth Harris.......2000-01-26
Beth's book is comprehensive yet basic. It will take the novice through the fundamentals step by step, including everything from: choosing sires/dams, how to assist with mating, building a whelping box, diseases, genetics, and more. Legal contract examples are provided as well.
As a breeder of Brittanys, we have found this book to simply outstanding.
Customer Reviews:
I quite like this pricey 'ultra' modern resource: here's why.......2005-06-25
This book actually rates three stars because it is quite expensive for what you get, but it is still a really excellent resource for those who do one of three things: 1) collect Modern Commemoratives; 2) collect US Mint Bullion Coins; 3) collect Ultra Moderns (I say ultra moderns because until this book's new definition of moderns, traditional coin collectors deem all 20th century coins 'moderns'. This one begins the count from the year 1965; although interestingly it includes the Proofs, which for this particular time sequence is very important. This book is good in the sense that the Forward really makes one excited about collecting these ultras where it discusses the genre and explains that this is a legitimate area of collecting interest where one can build a substantial collection rapidly and for a relatively small cost. In this day and age of inflated coin prices for some of the rarer and more desirable coins amongst even the traditional moderns, there has to be a niche for new comers, kids, etc. and this niche is it. It is also good in the sense that it give census numbers of these coins as graded by NGC and explains how one should extrapolate certain of these numbers (for instance, that there is a great number of MS 68 Silver Eagles that go unslabbed because of the high minimum grade reqt. of submitters). The reviewer below protested that this count is too narrow, but the point is that this is a book as published by NGC and doesn't purport to have the entire census universe numbers contained in it. This is still nice because most coin collectors, such as myself, will subscribe to just one or two services and so will have access to those companies' census counts but not others. So, while I have PCGS' pop. reports and ltd. access to ICG's, this NGC count is a handy reference for me. I was especially pleased about two aspects of this book's layout. The biggest one was the 'Rarities and Notable Varieties' notes section in which the 'key' coins are highlighted. For instance, I collect Jeffersons but was not aware of the special, so-called 'specimen' coins minted in 1994 and 1997, both of which I will now look out for. The other nice thing is the 'NGC Quick Tip' which warns the reader of certain quirks that one should look out for, for instance scraping on the Eisenhower Dollar on Eagle Feathers and Obverse, just as a coincidence, I had set aside a large number of these recently wondering what was up with this. In future, I will focus in on those areas before making a purchase. Finally, this book is the only handy reference I know that devotes an entire section complete with pictures of all of the Modern Commemoratives to date. This latter sub-section of coins is one that may yet emerge as an important branch of American Numismatics. For those of you who wish to get a head start, this is a good resource to turn to for now. Oh, and finally, finally, for the very first time in a coin book an entire section is devoted to the Bullion coins that have been issued by the Mint and this area too is becoming ever more popular, and is one that I believe will get ever stronger in years to come (even stronger, in my opinion, than the Modern Commmemorative genre). Anyway, even though this book is spendy when new, I can recommend getting it, possibly discounted, if you have an interest in any of the areas above that I have mentioned.
Misleading Title.......2005-03-15
The thing that troubles me most about this book is that it's description leads the prospective reader to believe that it is about grading coins. It is not. The book description implies that it provides a grade-dependent population census of modern coins. It does not (imho). The description implies that the book provides tendencies in the appearances of various coins. This it does do to a degree (These paragraphs in the book are the source of the two lonely stars characterizing my review) .
There is but one page in this entire book on grading - even then just definitions. (I don't count the advertisements that tout the care with which the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC) "objectively" grades and certifies coins (conveniently, NGC is one of the publishers of the book). There are neither examples nor guidelines to DIY grading of coins.
Then there is the census. The population numbers provided in the book consist only of those coins certified by the NGC, and the NGC alone. The census does not include coins certified by other third party grading agencies such as PCGS, ICG or ANACS. Furthermore, the book also does not acknowledge that most purchases of modern commemorative coins, mint sets and proof sets do not get certified. So what, you say? The point, I believe, of providing a grade-dependent census is to establish the relative rarity of a given coin at a given grade. As rarity and grade together are the dominant determiners of value, an NGC-only census is of no value.
The truly sad thing is that the topic of the bulk of material in the book would be warmly welcomed by the numismatic community - both beginners and advanced collectors -- if done well. This book deserves a second edition, maybe not the same authors or same publisher (no conflict of interest there!) to create a reference book on modern coins that actually has utility to coin collectors. The genius in marketing at NGC who thought it would be a good idea to push out a less than mediocre book allegedly on grading modern coins just leads me to recommend the VASTLY superior book on grading coins put out by PCGS - their biggest competitor! Doh!

THIS IS THE BOOK TO GET IF YOUR CONSIDERING TATTOOS.......2000-04-02
I FOUND THIS BOOK TO BE VERY INFORMATIVE. I WAS CONSIDERING GETTING A TATTOO MYSELF AND THIS BOOK REALLY HELPED ME TO MAKE A DESCISION. IT TALKS ABOUT THE HISTORY, WHAT IS INVOLVED IN GETTING ONE, DIFFERENT STYLES, AND HOW TO CARE FOR YOUR TATTOO. BUT THE BEST PART IS HOW YOU CAN PUT A VERY REALISTIC ONE ON YOURSELF TO GET A GOOD IDEA OF HOW HAVING ONE FEELS ON A DAY TO DAY BASIS. AND IT DOESN'T END THERE. THERE'S A WEB SITE WHERE YOU CAN GET MORE TEMPORARY TATTOOS. THIS IS DEFINITLY A GREAT BUY!
Customer Reviews:
Sheila!.......2006-09-27
I am very touched by the events that the author of this book had to share. She is indeed a very strong person. The average person could not survive the various pitfalls and bouts of discouragement that she had to suffer. She was placed in foster care at very young age. Although she felt bitter, she later discovered that it was better then being with her real mother. This young lady searched and found her mother, by way of the grapevine network within the black community. To her disappointment she did not find a loving mother. She found a discouraging woman living in confusion and poverty.
This was not the stopping point for the young lady in the book. She pushed herself. She even worked and saved her money. With the help of a kind social worker, she was able to go to college. I'm so proud of her.
The foster care system, is often one void of real love. As a parent and one who loves children, I take the care of children personally. Any child placed in my home for whatever reason is my child. I feel like it's up to me to love and protect that child. The elements of life are harsh enough. Children have day to day challanges just like adults. Foster parents your young charges need you. You are their guardians. LOVE THEM, PROTECT THEM, TREAT THEM LIKE YOUR OWN CHILDREN.
I was a bit surprised to find out how racially bias Buffalo, New York was. But the wonderful, wonderful thing is the good and positive life that the writer of this book is reaping. Hats Off to her. Keep On Pushing!
Understanding ALL the options.......2003-04-22
Theresa Cameron's difficult odyssey began when her biological mother did not make decisions with her daughter's best interests in mind. As difficult as it might have been for the mother to admit that adoption was the best route for her to follow, she simply abandoned a beautiful child and left her at the mercy of an inadequate system. As strong as Ms Cameron obviously is, as an unwilling participant in the foster care system, her childhood was unnecessarily harsh and often cruel. Rarely can we says such a story has meaning in all our lives. I recommend this book for all who face the irreversible decision of creating a child.
Must reading for foster care workers.......2003-04-05
This book reveals the emotional impact of life in the foster care system for a black girl who was bounced from one foster home to another from birth until the age of 18. Except for the nationally publicized case of Baby Jessica, who was forcibly removed from her adoptive family at the age of two to be reunited with her birth mother and father, it is rare that the public gets a glimpse of the emotional damage done to the child. This book should be MUST reading for everyone involved in foster care.
Foster Care Revealed.......2002-09-03
This is a heartfelt, painfully true story of how one child can be forgotten in the "system". Even the cover itself is revealing...the only photograph the author has from her childhood and it does not even show her face.
By far my favorite book of alltime. I recommend it to all socialworkers, teachers, counselors, mothers, fathers, ministers, politicians, EVERYONE! It is well-written and easy to read, although it caused me to lose sleep at night knowing children are out there--alone, forgotten by their caseworkers, and lacking the basic needs such as touch, hugs, encouragement, or even a smile from those whose care they are in.
How Ms.Cameron did what she did all alone is beyond me. She is simply amazing.
After reading this book I wanted to reach out and hug Ms. Cameron.
She has made me a better mother.
