Chris Crawford on Game Design (New Riders Games)

12 reviews
Chris Crawford

New Riders Games, 2003

A Must Read for Serious People Interested in Games
I used to think that this book had some sort of flaw in its conception. It's written by one of the greatest game designers of all time, who is also the number one computer game theorist in the world, yet it neither teaches the craft of game design nor does it contain any great theoretical breakthroughs. There are important concepts in here, as well as many useful points, but it really doesn't ...

Supreme Conflict: The Inside Story of the Struggle for Control of the United States Supreme Court

Jan Crawford Greenburg

Penguin (Non-Classics), 2008

Extremely well balanced and very readable
This book is excellent. I wish all books that touch upon political matters were written so objectively. Sadly, one can often determine an authors political affiliations (and, perhaps, agenda) when reading a book but that is not the case with Ms Greenburg's book on the Supreme Court. She presents a fair story that is very readable. The 'inside' information gleened from interviews and the ...

Twilight at Monticello: The Final Years of Thomas Jefferson

Alan Pell Crawford

Random House, 2008

At Home with Thomas Jefferson
In Twilight at Monticello, I was looking for an accessible portrait of Thomas Jefferson the planter, neighbor, and family man. I got exactly that while simultaneously revisiting Jefferson the politician, history-maker, philosopher, and visionary. The great man was always there facing the mundane, the day-to-day difficulties of clashing personalities, mounting debt, and the inescapable effects ...

Tad Crawford

Allworth Press, 2005

Another Fill-in Test?
The most difficult part of filling-in forms is understanding the questions. Attorney Tad Crawford not only provides the forms you need, he explains your choices for each line. He begins with a discussion of contracting. Then he provides each contract with a discussion of that agreement and a negotiation checklist. As an author and a publisher, who has run his own business for over 30 years, I ...

Not the Girl Next Door: Joan Crawford, a Personal Biography

20 reviews
Charlotte Chandler

Simon & Schuster, 2008

A 5-Star Joan Crawford Experience
Charlotte Chandler, whose writing is positively magic, has given us in this compelling new personal biography, "Not the Girl Next Door", something far beyond very important new information on this complex Oscar winning star. She has given us an actual "personal experience" of Joan Crawford herself. Often times there is far more to be learned from how individuals "see themselves", and also ...

A Catered Christmas (Mystery with Recipes, No. 3)

Isis Crawford

Kensington, 2006

A fun read!
Harriet Klausner always gives an excellent description of the storylines so I'll simply give my reactions to this book. I finished it last night and I'm looking forward to seeing these characters again! I have very little time for reading lately but I couldn't put this one down. Lots of action..but it's easy to follow. I like the sisters and especially their dad, Sean. The fact that the ...

New Product Management

C.Merle Crawford, C.Anthony Di Benedetto

McGraw Hill Higher Education, 2008

Good reference book
It's a detailed introduction for any product/brand manager. It precisely describes the processes, activities and tasks through which a new offering should be taken. It is weak to overview the financial tools for quantitative decision making process, but on contrary it nicely insists on developing new product culture in the organization. Without the clarification on value creation of the ...

Pamela Crawford

Color Garden Publishing, 2008

Easy to follow, lots of photos
This book is great. When I use a garden book, I like photos and this one is loaded with them. It is also simple to follow and has great advice for new container gardeners or veterans. I adapted some of the ideas to a garden bed as well and they look great.

Business and Legal Forms for Graphic Designers (3rd Edition)

Tad Crawford, Eva Doman Bruck

Allworth Press, 2003

It's a $29.95 Lawyer!!
Our small graphic design firm had been relying on the legal forms and contracts from this book for about one year. Finally, we decided that perhaps we ought to visit with a lawyer to make sure we were doing it right...$560.00 later for an initial consultation, we realized that this $29.95 book was the best business investment we'd ever made! The lawyer confirmed that the contracts that we had ...

Joan Crawford: Hollywood Martyr

David Bret

Da Capo Press, 2008

MOST AMAZON REVIEWERS HAVE HIT THE NAIL ON THE HEAD
It would be nice to accept this book simply as a guilty pleasure and let its shortcomings slide, but honesty requires pointing out the latter. The first problem is the fact that, although the book was originally published in Great Britain and then published the following year in the United States, no attempt whatsoever has been made to Americanize spelling and punctuation, much less the British ...

A very spicy cozy

Jenny Crawford

Llewellyn Publications, 2002

A Healing Journey
When my boyfriend died in a car accident, he was the second boyfriend to die in six years and I loved him very much! I was desperately looking for answers. Answers I was hoping quite desperately to find in the book store. I read her book and it really did facilitate the healing process. It helped me understand why? Why it is that I became afraid of the dark on both occasions. Why it is ...

Container Gardens for Florida

Pamela Crawford

Color Garden Publishing, 2005

Succeed with Container Plantings
I love puttering with my plants on the lanai, so I was pleased to discover this book after reading a South Florida Sun-Sentinel review. It pointed out that the author has a degree in landscape architecture and tested 10,000 plants in more than 300 containers. That sounds a little overwhelming, but she owns a nursery so can work on that scale. The book points out that the most common mistakes ...

Joan Crawford: The Enduring Star
Peter Cowie

Rizzoli, 2009

Joan Crawford?s classic beauty, dazzling confidence, and sheer toughness made her the very definition of a star; her formidable talent won her an Oscar for Mildred Pierce and shines through in other classics such as Grand Hotel and The Women. Focusing on the often overlooked first half of her career, this is the first visual book to reclaim her place in the canon of glamour. Crawford pioneered a new depth that had not been seen before in roles ...

Xulon Press, 2008

Image of God by Jeff Crawford
I was given a copy of this book. It is not one I would have normally picked up to read. It sat on my counter for a week. One Saturday morning I decided to see what was inside. WHOA! I found myself several hours later still devouring the contents. Jeff Crawford is a gifted teacher, speaker, and pastor. This is his first book so I can add to that list "gifted writer"! What I found inside ...
