(5 stars if you are from the U.P.) this is a must read.......1998-12-07
If you are from the U.P. this is a great book. It is a collection of short stories that depict the U.P in the early 1900s. Incredibly funny and witty. The author establishes characters that portray real people from the U.P. Finns, French Canadians, etc. come to life before your eyes. You won't want to put it down. If you have left the U.P. --- the book will bring you back.

Book Description
Observations on the Market of Stocks is a Wall Street outsider's view of the stock market. This Book has been a work in progress for several years and is the product of the author's experience and study of the very challenging avocation of buying and selling common stocks. The Book concisely identifies the players and forces that make the equities market such an enigmatic field of financial combat. It also presents the author's perceptive view of the economy and probable future events.
If you were you burned by the bear market of 2000-2002, and are perplexed by the bull market which began in 2003, the information in this Book will reduce your level of frustration and give you guidance. It is axiomatic that success in every transaction in the market of stocks is not possible. However, if you use the information in this Book to become an investor or trader dedicated to the study of this very challenging subject, you will succeed more often than you will fail.
Customer Reviews:

This was a very great book. It is highly useful for someone interested in gaining knowledge about the stock market. Mr. Hansen combines the masters of finance into one easy to read book. If you have money in the market or would like to be in the market you should definitely read this book first.

Not for Piano Pros! Intermediates and Amateurs read on.......2003-01-04
Hmmmmm, tricksy this one. Tori Amos makes me sick. I took piano lessons for like three years and quit because I hated it. But, when you're ten years old and your fat, evil piano teacher slams your finger onto a key yelling "C!C!C!C!C!" when you accidentally played a D, it kind of has a way of ruining the magic of the moment. (She also made luscious smelling cookies all the time, and we had to sit there in our after school hunger and watch as she consumed them one by one) Anyway, Tori "I was playing better piano than you when I was two" Amos was the reason I decided to forget the tyrant Mrs. Evers and take up piano again. I struggle with some things in this book, but I retained enough piano knowledge to get through the majority of her songs. Horses is fun to play, so is the Doughnut Song. Marianne is pretty close to the CD (for all simplified purposes), nothing you can't listen to the song and add to. I have been disappointed with Not the Red Baron, though, because it just doesn't sound right. This book is also generally kind of hard. That could be because I'm not a great piano player and just can't get the flow rght. I would actually suggest getting the Anthology, as it is more simplified and has more variety. The simplification of the transcription in such books can be good and bad, but nothing you can't add to. I think it is better to have it easier to begin with, instead of so complex that it is intimidating. Come on, Tori's music is intimidating enough! For that reason I would suggest the Anthology over this book, at least to start with. Besides, there is so much more to play in it. If you get stuck or discouraged, there are many other songs to play that will boost your confidence, as opposed to this book which is all music from one CD, and one of the stranger Tori CDs at that. I give this book 3.5 stars, and suggest the Anthology. However, if you're just really into Pele and want to play some of the songs, go for it. If all you can do is read and play notes, you can do it. Be confident. Practice one song (Horses!) until you're lost in playing it. Then move on to another (Father Lucifer!). If you can't figure out how it is supposed to sound, put the cd on and listen to that part. Improv if you must! Just don't quit! Before long you'll be throwing your own private piano concert, lost for hours in ethereal Toryland. It's nice to visit her world for a while.
only the best, plays the best.......2001-09-13
Tori Amos is a magnificent piano goddess. I try to play like her all of the time, but I feel like Iam her when I play my piano.
Since I never had the chance to see her in concert I always g online to watch her there. She is amazing. Several years ago at one of my 8th grade talent shows my friend performed "Hey Jupiter" by her. Oh my god she sound just like her. She had excellent props for her performance.
Thats why Iam such a big fan of her music, all for knowing, she plays piano and sings acapella.
A beautiful CD from a beautiful artist.......2001-01-08
All of her music is touching, and this especially so. She is talented both with the composition and the performance, and this is a spendid showpice of her gifts.
BoYs FoR pElE.......1999-12-27
definately, if you liked the cd, you were constantly thinking" i wish i could play like that." Definately a good source to learn how to play the music that drives you.
wonderful for moderate piano players.......1999-11-28
i can't tell you how much this has helped my piano skills. or at the very least, my confidence! i was completely amazed when i first bought the book that i was able to play virtually every song in the book without real difficulty.the arrangements seem very true on the piano songs, but on all songs done with harpsichord, half of the notes are missing. i like the fact that the piano part doesn't include the melody line.

Book Description
Leo Gorcey, The Hollywood Legend - Leo Gorcey, Jr., His Happy Ending: The son of a Hollywood legend takes you on a humorous and heartfelt journey of survival, strength, forgiveness, and hope.
Customer Reviews:
Didn't Like It.......2007-04-23
I couldn't finish this book and returned it to the library. Fortunately I did not purchase it. I was excited to read it, but after the first few chapters I quit. I read LOTS of bios, but this one I couldn't get into. His style of writing I think it was. He wrote mostly from the first person and in the speech manner which Leo Gorcey used in his films, but this made it difficult. I would have much preferred a straight forward biography and the authors personal thoughts tossed in. It just wasn't the kind of book I like.
Glad It's Available.......2007-04-11
Leo Gorcey is best known for his stint in B-movies, a tough guy and comic actor. He started out with the Dead End Kids, moved onto the East Side Kids, and graduated to the Bowrey Boys. There is very little information available about the man other than his penchant for women and his rough demeanor. Gorcey's son attempts to shed some light on the man who was vastly different in his real life than his on-screen persona. He also goes on a personal journey of forgiveness to an abusive father.
In the early days, Gorcey wanted to be a plumber but stumbled upon acting accidentally. His authenticity helped him and soon he was getting rave reviews although he rarely stuck to his scripts. As he aged, he became further dependend on alcohol and tempestuous women. His selfishness led him to ignore his family, many times more interested in his gun collection than the people around him.
This is certainly not the definitive biography, but it does shed some light into the personality of the star. It also helps to know that the stars were not necessarily what they appeared to be on screen, just as Gorcey was not.
Interesting subject - boring author........2007-01-10
This is an interesting story of a colorful but very troubled actor. Unfortunately, the son and author has incurred a similar set of demons. After reading the book, I felt I had a lot of knowledge of Leo's bad behaviour, but didn't come away with much respect for the lingering attitudes of the son. Maybe not his fault, but he just doesn't come across as a sympathetic character.
Great Insight.......2005-10-22
This book is a wonderful gem, well written, from the heart of Leo Gorcey, Jr. Absorbing, serious, funny, heart wrenching, a REAL story.
A son's tribute to his dad, a moving biography.......2005-03-05
Well, the way I figure it, Leo Gorcey felt that he earned so much fan adoration, became one of Hollywood's biggest money makers, and wielded power in the movie board rooms because his character - Spit/Muggs/Slip - was loud-mouthed, smart-alecy, bullying, hat-pounding, overbearing, and childish. It certainly wasn't because he had talent; he never wanted to be an actor, never liked the movie business. (At least that's what he claimed. I think he secretly did enjoy it, otherwise why would he do it so well for so many films until his father's death made it impossible to work any more.) Therefore, to earn the love of the women in his life, and his children, he just had to turn it up several notches to become a drunken, gun wielding, abusive, screaming husband and father. Then everybody would love him. At least that's what I garnered out of the terrific biography of Gorcey by his son, Leo, Jr.. This is the story of an actor's rise from a plumber's helper to the star and centerpiece of one of the most successful movie series of all time: The Bowery Boys, nee the Dead End/Eastside Kids. The realism captured here is overwhelming. The son puts us in the world of the dad and it is if we are there for the meetings, the confrontations, shooting on the set, the explosive family occasions, many of which happened before the author was even born. The feelings he generates and the language he so perfectly captures makes the scene come alive before our eyes. Yes, Leo, Sr., is quoted in his Lower East Side accent throughout the book, both in character and out, which leads me to think, because of this consistency, that maybe that's the way he talked in real life. In these scenes we feel the star's wonderment at his fast rising success and grasp of power, his love and pledged support to his parents, his destruction at his father's unexpected death. But, this is more than a story of an actor out of control; it is as well the attempt of a son to reconcile his love for his father with the constant abusive attention he received. The book moves along quickly to a soul-searching letter from son to now-deceased father that Leo, Jr. shares with us. A sequel is promised in the book; what more he could write about I can't imagine, but I am waiting its publication. (Upon checking with Leo, Jr., I am told that plans for the sequel have been put on hold while their energies are earmarked for making a movie of the first book. Who will play Leo? How about the kid from Malcolm in the Middle?) I will remember this book for a long time and look at the next Bowery Boy film I happen to see with increased respect.

A Very Cursory Overview.......2007-04-03
Having read several books on the topic Aspatore Books has missed the mark with this effort. Merely some amusing anecdotal stories by industry insiders. The vast majority of the book reads like a repetative statement of the obvious.....there isn't any meat on these bones.
Book Description
Madonna has long been accepted as a pop culture icon, but this text postulates a greater cultural importance by analyzing her as a postmodern myth.
This work examines how Madonna methodically discovered and constructed herself (often rewriting her past), the nature and extent of her ambition and the means she used to reach her goals. It also details the way in which she organized her own cult (borrowing from the gay community), devised her artistic output, and cunningly targeted different audiences. It also studies the fundamental contradictionvirgin or vamp? saint or prostitute?that fuels Madonna's career and describes how Madonna reflects today's society, its contradictions and its attitudes toward sexuality and religion.

Madonna on par with Cleopatra.......2006-07-11
The Queen of the Nile will soon be battling for historical significance with the Queen of Pop very soon. A unique take on the influence of Madonna beyond just hit records to a whole social expression that inspired other artists, feminism, and what it means to be an ambitious woman without apology.
Makes Madonna Make "Postmodern" Interesting.......2003-01-17
Like so many, I find Madonna interesting. And I agree with the positive reviews of this book -- I really like it. The unique contribution here is the way the author discusses Madonna in ways that make "postmodern" an interesting, understandable, ans useful concept. And believe me, I am no fan of academic writing of or about the posrmodern. But this book can be highly and widely recommended.
Very Interesting Overview of Madonna.......2003-01-07
Madonna:alot can be said about Her but Boring isn't one of them.thsi Book Explores the Many things that relate too the Artist&personna that is Madonna.this Book is Challenging&also puts Madonna into a Complete Perspective from start too finish.just like the Woman Herself it will keep you wondering more&what lays around the Corner.
Final evidence of Madonna's superior intelligence.......2002-12-13
In this book GC Guilbert shows how absolutely everything Madonna has ever done is packed with clever references. He doesn't mean that she's a plagiarist, far from it: she just uses her vast knowledge of (popular) culture, in a "postmodern" way. A fascinating read.
A MADONNA BOOK FOR INTELLIGENT FANS.......2002-11-22
At last a book about Madonna that can be enjoyed by academics AND fans. There have been two or three collections of highbrow essays by various university eggheads that were a bit too hermetic. "Madonna as Postmodern Myth" is "intellectual" but crystal clear.The subtitle pretty much sums it up: Georges-Claude Guilbert does show the way the diva "rewrites" just about everything -- always cleverly -- and especially old Hollywood stars. Besides, it's a very feminist book, but a sexy feminist book (yes, it is possible). I'm sure every Cultural Studies professor is going to want to read it, as well as every Madonna fan who's ever wondered why it is exactly that makes her / him adore the "self-constructed" star, beyond the obvious: she's unique.
