YUMMY!.......2004-08-12
If you want to daydream and drool, this book is the bomb. And high enough quality for a classy coffee table book. Great descriptions and excellent high quality photography. BUY IT!
Cannabible 2 Rocks!.......2004-06-08
When I first received this book I was very impressed by the cover.
Once you hold it in your hand you will understand. The printing
process used on the front cover has a glossy photo on a matte
background, and this creates a beautiful interplay of light on the
cover image. The back cover also amazed me, as there are extremely
high quality photos of unusually well grown buds.
The microphotography throughout the book is exceptionally clear, and
extremely valuable to anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the
maturation process of cannabis trichomes.
Throughout the book there are anectdotes and references to people
that have played a prominent role in the cannabis reform movement,
which I find very interesting. For example, the photos of Eddy Lepp's
garden were on such a grand scale that I laughed out loud when I saw
them. Unfortunately, the garden was raided, but Eddy was never
charged.
The scope of the genetics covered in Cannabible 2 is not only broad
but contemporary and relevant to present day cultivation. The text
and details on the strains is very well written, with clear concise
explanations of lineage. I even agree with the author's assesment of
some of my favorite strains, Cinderella and Apollo. It is rare that I
find such a like minded sativa lover as is the author, Jason King.
I own cannabis cultivation books all the way back to 1977, and I can
say without hesitation that Cannabible 2 has a place among the very
best of my library. Not because it will teach you everything you need
to grow, but rather because it will show you what good looks like.
The pictures, and the layout of the images are extremely powerful. It
is obvious that the author is looking with an eye that sees past the
surface of his subject. It is hard to quantify, but the sense of
quality and care in the compilation of this volume is clearly
tangible.

Book Description
This useful guidebook surveys more than 80 ghost towns, grouped by geographic area. First published in 1981 and now available only from UNM Press, it has been praised in particular for its instructions on how to reach even the most obscure sites.
“An invaluable guide to anybody wanting to visit any of New MexicoÂ's ghost towns.”—Howard Bryan, Albuquerque Tribune
Customer Reviews:
Good Book, but a little old and not organized the best.......2007-03-05
Of all of the ghost towns books I own or have read by Phillip Varney, this is probably the worst. But that being said, this book is not that bad. It was written in 1981, so many of the sites are not there any more. It is a black and white photos, which is a drawback once you have seen his newer books. The maps are not really laid out very well. Also the chapters are a little confusing as to their organization. I think he has leaned how to write a perfect ghost town book since (his CO and AZ book are great). But the sites in the book are the best sites to see in NM, he didn't leave anything out. I have been to many of the sites and have taken fantastic pictures myself (in color and B&W). Therefore, I know how good the pictures in the book can look. But if you haven't been to any ghost towns before and you want a New Mexico ghost town book, then it is still one of the best ones out there.
Great Book!!!.......2006-10-19
I loved this book. I went on a trip recently to New Mexico and followed one of the paths listed in the book and tried to see if I could find all the places listed. The pictures helped in locating some sites. Some buildings in some of the pictures are gone but it turned out to be a fun and adventurous day trip. I recommend this book if you can get it.

Good Book.......2005-04-18
We have 2 Australian Shepards who need to be active! This book is great because a lot of the info in it is timeless - like trails and park info. etc. I'm not sure what edition this is though. Mine is about 9 years old, so all the numbers aren't correct. But I bought mine at Goodwill (...)so I don't mind so much.
Customer Reviews:
Pretty, but incomplete.......2003-10-04
From the number of pages, I didn't expect this to be a book that would be very comprehensive. Yet even as a basic start I was disappointed. The entire book is a series of color plates, each showing many marbles. These photos are truly beautiful and show a nice range of marbles. However, I found it of little use in identifying marbles I had. It was much to incomplete. The book could have been grouped by manufacturer, which would have helped some. There is a price guide for each plate in the back of the book. However, there is no indication for what size marble the price applies, and as marble collectors know, size matters. For some plates only ranges were given for all the marbles pictured, instead of giving individual prices. These ranges were wide enough to not be of much help when trying to appraise a marble's value. The photos have little text to go with them, which would have been helpful to help novices learn the differences between types of marbles. Buy it for the pretty pictures, but don't expect much from it.

Book Description
This volume gives an introduction to William Ockham's theory of signs, his ontology, his epistemology, and the interrelations between these fields. Some recent results of analytic philosophy turn out to be useful instruments for the interpretation of Ockham's thought. Part one contains a presentation of the basic concepts of Ockham's semantics. It is followed by an investigation of his ontology, including a comparison with modern ontology. Part three deals with the common and different elements in the conceptions of supposition and of quantification. Part four shows some similarities of Ockham's views on the truth of sentences with those of Davidson. The final part presents Ockham's epistemology within the discussion of his contemporaries and confronts it with actual issues raised by Quine and Putnam.
Customer Reviews:
probablely the most interesting book I own........2006-08-04
This How-to manual by FX favorite Tom Savini is a cool read (I like it all the more since I found it at a Half Price Bookstore for $1.75!). No one can seriously consider this instructional, because how many people are going to send away for makeup kits from companies that existed 25 years ago and sit around making gore effects as a hobby? This is really a fun behind the scenes look at movies like Dawn of the Dead and especially creepshow. Every FX sequence is explained in complete detail, accompanied by realistic ink drawings showing how the crew manipulated the creatures. What I got mostly out of this book was an introduction to three slasher movies; the prowler, which I own and love, The maniac, which I haven't seen but just may buy it real soon, and the burning, a slasher movie that I REALLY want to see, but I can't find any resonabley priced versions of it (Savini said he considers it one of his best projects). Also cool is the fact that Savini openly expresses disdain for all of his "hired killer" redundancy within the slasher cannon.
If you want to learn about making gore, zombie, blood effects... get this book NOW!.......2006-03-21
This book is amazing and absolutely PERFECT if you want to learn about how to make amazing effects from your favorite horror films. Tom Savini explains all of his effects in wonderful detail, and his writing style is extremely inspiring. There is no shortage of detailed pictures, either! A must buy! You will NOT be dissapointed!
This book was originally published as "Bizarro" in 1983, and is now being reprinted as "Grande Illusions".
A MUST HAVE!.......2004-11-18
I am fortunate to still own my original copy, especially since it has long been out of print and extremely costly to replace. But if you are a fan of Tom Savini and the horror genre it is worth owning. Stephen King provides the introduction and George Romero writes the preface. Tom Savini takes over describing his love for the art and how he developed his interest in make-up special effects. Filled with incredible and rare photos, the book takes us on a step-by-step process on how to recreate the gruesome F/X that made him famous. The book also reflects a humorous and playful side of Tom Savini as he demonstrates what he does best.
The special effects from "Deathdream," "Dreanged," "Martin," "Dawn of the Dead," "The Burning," "The Prowler," "Creepshow," "Maniac," "Eyes of a Stranger," and "Friday the 13th" are all featured here. Also included is a scrapbook of Tom Savini's work and off-the-wall creations.
I enjoyed this book as much as I enjoy Pepsi........2002-04-21
I like this book because it's a learning tool that gave me exactly what I was looking for. I was tired of looking through Make-up effect books that had two pages devoted to doing horror effects. Stephen King and George Romero (or just horror in general) will really enjoy this book. As will make-up effect artist.

Book Description
From bullet holes to severed fingers, from slashed throats to wounds and burns, Special Effects is a complete easy-to-use guide to creating horrifying make-up. As storylines become more sensational and technology more sophisticated, special effects have become an increasingly important element of both film and theater production. Janus Vinther provides fully illustrated, step-by-step instructions for creating grotesque and horrifying effects. There is also a chapter on specialized character make-up, covering familiar figures such as Dracula and the Terminator. Illustrated throughout in gory full color, Special Effects for Film and Theatre describes both techniques and materials. It will be an essential tool for those involved in film and theater make-up or design, and for anyone out to make Halloween a very special evening.
Customer Reviews:
Gee,I can make you look terrible!.......2007-08-14
From gaping innards hanging out to oozing brains and ripped asunder eyeballs its all in here.How would like to grow another apendage,perhaps a little maligned and eat away at? Sprout a few bullets holes in yer head?Grow Dr.Spock ears?Be the hit of the trick or treat scene with this handy dandy easy to do reference guide.
Great reference for moviemakers on a budget.......2007-03-28
Vinther does a great job of describing how to do some grisly effects with a really low budget. Some of the images are rather disturbing and could be unsettling for small children.
Good Starting Point.......2006-09-29
I have been doing some makeup at home for years. I'm not a professional, so this book had some good tips and tricks. There could be more sections on various creatures, and less on how to make things like fake hands and eyes. I feel that most people will buy those types of items, but will want to do more of the creative makeup part themselves.
What about the rest???.......2006-08-18
This book has a lot of great information, but the instructions are not as clear as they could be. There is a a "materials" section, but then the instructions don't always explain when to use all the materials. I have experience doing this type of make-up, so it was easy enough to figure out, but I would be much harder for a beginner.
A very well written resource.......2006-08-02
If your looking for a decent introduction into basic gore and makeup effects then this book would be a great purchase. The step by steps are precise, the pictures are accurate and the list (once you translate some of the items from European English to American English) of supplies are dead on.
The only place I feel this book fail sis the section on creature/monster making. For basic Halloween applications these may be OK, however the book does a great job of pushing itself as an introduction to Film and video Special effects. the creations are poor knockoffs of the original movie creatures and not GREAT examples of what could be done with the same materials.
The book is a good, solid purchase for anyone trying to get into the business, just looking to have some fun with inexpensive supplies or on a very tight budget.
Good luck and have fun!

Helped out on film shoot..........2007-01-06
i actually used this book to reference several special effects i did on a tarantino film. so yeah i would say its a great book if i'm willing to do that.
style versus content.......2006-03-04
The book appears to be packed full of very useful technical information regarding make-up types and possible uses for such.Time and experience will tell if all the information is valid or even useful in a u.k market.Was disappointed at the lack of colour photos which made the book shoddy in appearance
MAKE-UP EFFECTS BIBLE.......2000-11-17
THIS IS THE PERFECT BOOK FOR ANYONE WANTING TECHNICAL ADVICE ON THE SPECIAL MAKE-UP EFFECTS ART FORM. TRUST ME, READ THIS EDUCATIONAL BOOK AS SOON AS YOU CAN BECAUSE KNOLEDGE IS POWER.
