Since then Dark Horse comics has been featuring comics about the Escapist and other characters from Chabons book. This book, however, is actually a sequel to the original book. Just in case you're unaware, Amazon offers a ...

Under the Aegis
The Conspiracy X rpg is one of the coolest around, and the Aegis organisation definitely needed a source book of its own. And here it is. It has loads more stuff on Aegis, including some cool new skils 'n professions. The stuff on Aegis rocks, and the advice on operations and tactics has helped my players get further into character. All in all, an invaluable addition to any Con X ...

An adaptation of the original story that children can understand
The original adventures of Alice are much more difficult to read than most people realize. Carroll wrote very figuratively and while people tend to believe that it was a tale for children, it really is not. So much of the book relates to complex adult situations that children simply cannot relate to. This book is an attempt to change that, by adapting the original story into one more suited ...

This is an easy to read, excellent reference book for anyone starting out in commercials. I read Terry's book, took a couple of workshops and booked several commercials. It has everything you need to know in order to be prepared to walk into an audition.

One of the best cyberpunk comics ever
and considering the number of cyberpunk comics out there, one might not think that's not much of an achievement but Alexander's writing and graphics manage to bring a fresh take on what could have been a load of moribund cliches.

The Easiest and Most Complete Resource I've Found
I teach Children's Comedy Theatre in North Hollywood. We have been doing improvised singing for a long time and I've always wanted a nice easy resource to use when teaching people how to create a song on the spot. This book is it. Not only is it VERY simple to follow and an excellent source of information, it also contains a CD that will be a fixture in my teaching for ages to come. If anyone ...

Wonderful guide for earlier jaw distraction
I've had this book for a couple of years now but I'm just getting around to reviewing it. While I'm not a doctor and much of the book can be over your head in some ways as a layperson, I still found the book to be extremely valuable and is my bible in jaw distraction. My daughter has a facial syndrome and has had three jaw distractions already, with more to go and I recognize many of the great ...

King Conan Lives!
This Graphic has all the makings of an excellent Conan story. It takes place in the period of Conan's Kingship (He is in his 40's). It is drawn and written in a very grim and dark Howardian style. I won't ruin the plot. The story takes place in Tarantia in the beginning and end, but the bulk of the story takes place in Stygia. This is a must for any Conan fan. It's also a great ...

Excellent!
This is an invigorating look at architecture and design theory from those who will be setting the pace for the next wave. While the entire series is informative, this latest issue is particularly global in its outlook and thus in line with current theory.

The epic tale of all time
H G Wells has awakened the world with his art of tale through the travel of time. He is the inspiration of every time travel writer in existence today, with no exception, myself included. Along with great classics like Twenty-thousand Leagues Under the Sea, I remember the first time reading these classics. I was in awe. Though time travel, a genre given life by H G Wells is the ultimate epic ...

More Queen & Country
I absolutely love this format. It's portable, and it's packed with stories. For a "Definitive" edition I would have liked some more behind the scenes work, concept art and the like, but it's good enough. The story is gripping as always. My only complaint is the art. While I like seeing the different artistic representations, and the art does always click, it's sometimes jarring to try to re ...

Seuss without the Tang-Tonguelers
If you've wearied of Green Eggs and Ham and Sam-I-Am, and would rather not Hop on Pop, you'll be grateful for this CD set with lively readings of the kid-favorites by familiar voices like Jason Alexander, David Hyde Pierce, and Michael McKean. For young readers, pair them up with the books to follow along and VOILA! Instant Readers! this year is Dr. Seuss's 100th birthday!

Terrific blackmail/spy story with great art!
So far British agent Tara Chase, the heroine of the Queen & Country comic book series, has been settling cases in the Balkans and the Middle East. This one hits closer to home. The father of an old friend is being blackmailed with a sex tape starring his daughter and a Frenchman with more than just a pretty face. Whereas she's in love he's in it for the money. England and France are fighting ...

First covenant book released, but an incredibly strong book
This book details the covenant Lancea Sanctum- its history, the reasons why Kindred join it, the roles of the clans in the covenant, how one joins, its relation to other factions in the World of Darkness, and various in-covenant factions, bloodlines, and heresies. I actually delayed buying this book because of the heavily Christian flavor to the book, so I was very surprised when I actually ...

Still the toughest guy in town
You have to be tough to face your own mortality and Kirk Douglas faces it feisty, reflective, and sometimes furious. In addition to great stories from his life that he hasn't told before, this book tells of the things that, 90 years on, move his heart and his soul. I was surprised, delighted and stirred all the way through.

Great Family Find
I absolutely love this story. It explains the idea of the tooth fairy without taking away the magic - even if they catch you sneaking in to put money under the pillow. It does talk about the loss of magical beings in the world which could be a little sad, but they do live on in us - if we believe.

less than I expected, but okay as a non-game-specific source
I had high hopes for this book, but was a little disappointed. I bought conspiracy x, expecting great stuff, and it met with my expectations. Cryptozoolgy didn't. First, it's set up with information divided into two parts: the gamers information, and the GM's information. the result is that you have to look in two different areas for information on different "supernatural creatures". Most of ...

Entertaining account of 5 years in S.America
Alexander von Humboldt (of the Current fame) was a famous polymath during the age of enlightenment. Like many noblemen, he used his money and leisure time in esoteric pursuits, such as collecting flora & fauna and trying to find the deeper meaning of it all. This particular volume has been well-translated from the original - there is none of that stilted 'I haf von the Cherman translated been' ...
