BLACK'S LAW: A Criminal Lawyer Reveals His Defense Strategies in Four Cliffhanger Cases 14 reviews
Roy Black
Simon & Schuster, 2000
Legal Education for all
A great book. Written by a expert in communication. Each case brought you into the defense, you believe in the actions brought forward to give not only a legal defense by our constitution but to see a inocent person never is incarcerated,if that ever comes to pass. I would hope Mr. Black will write more, he is able to take a very complicated subject and break it down to a laymans understanding.

I do not read comic books. I got the first volume of The Maxx because I enjoyed the cartoon so much - and volume 1 is almost exactly like the cartoon. The same is with the first half of volume 2 - then it starts to expand in strange and interesting rhelms!
Now - I can't help it, I'm ordering volume #3, I'm hooked.

Classic Cliffhangers: Volume 2 1941-1955
Hank Davis
Midnight Marquee Press, INc., 2008
Serials can be both entertaining and informative. It is exactly those same two goals we hope to achieve with this second volume of Classic Cliffhangers. The goal of the book is to entertain as well as encourage audiences to be entertained by movie serials. Lord knows, that s what they were made for. But this book will also inform about the people on both sides of the camera, as well as the producers who hired them and the world in which all this ...

Classic Cliffhangers: Volume 1, 1914-1940
Hank Davis
Midnight Marquee Press, Inc., 2007
Even today, movie serials continue to enchant movie fans. The innocence, energy and undeniable skill that permeate every reel of these chapter plays is a tribute to the true pioneers of gorilla filmmaking make em fast, make em as good as possible with as little as possible, and make em fun. The best serials are classic examples of early American low-budget filmmaking. The bad ones are silly and stilted, but always charming and sometimes ...

Christmas at Cliffhanger Inn3 reviews
Christine E. Collier
AuthorHouse, 2003
Warm, cozy, and suspenseful
My nine-year-old daughter and I have enjoyed reading every book in this series together. After reading Christmas at Cliffhanger Inn, my daughter said that Ms. Collier's books are "warm and cozy and make me want to curl up in a corner of the couch under the lamp with them." I would add that the stories in this book grabbed me and made me keep reading until each mystery was solved, and the book ...

Valley of the Cliffhangers Supplement 1 review
Jack Mathis Advertising, 1995
For Republic Serial Fanatics only...and maybe not.
This book contains a synopsis of every chapter of every Republic Studios Serial ever made, along with photos depicting every cliffhanger ending. 2 pages are allocated for each of Republic's 66 serials, and in addition to the photos, 1 or 2 pieces of advertising material per serial are also reproduced. Unfortunately, the synopses are poorly written to the point of being almost illiterate. ...

Science Fiction Serials: A Critical Filmography of the 31 Hard SF Cliffhangers
Roy Kinnard
McFarland, 2008
Destination Moon; George Pal's 1950 Technicolor epic, is generally cited as the first noteworthy science fiction film. Usually ignored or casually dismissed in genre histories are the serials, the low-budget chapterplays exhibited as Saturday matinee fare and targeted almost exclusively at children. Lacking stars and top-notch writers or directors, the serials went largely unnoticed and unacknowledged by either critics or by the film industry. ...

Cliffhangers And Hillside Homes: Views from the Treetops3 reviews
E. Ashley Rooney
Schiffer Publishing, 2006
Cliffhangers and the Stars
Rooney's Cliffhangers and Hillside Houses cling to rocky mountaintops, they hang on the hillsides; they direct our eyes outward to the "spacious plains and purple mountaintops."
Those of us who have built a hillside house know that it is not an easy endeavor. How do you integrate the structure with the land and the natural features? What do you do about the need for privacy and protection ...

Serials-Ly Speaking: Essays on Cliffhangers
William C. Cline
McFarland & Company, 1994
This collection of essays (first published in Big Reel ) lovingly recalls the glory days of the movie serial. The primary focus is on the fans of the serials-what they thought of them in their heyday, what they think of them now, and why these episodic tales are still so popular. Preceding each article is a brief commentary about the essay explaining why the topic was chosen and the reader response it evoked when first published.
