Alexandre Dumas

Naxos Audiobooks, 1995

As good as it gets...
Having never read The Count of Monte Cristo and only faintly recalling a movie of some years ago, I was prepared for a swashbuckling epic of swordplay and derring-do. My expectations were entirely inadequate. The Count of Monte Cristo is rather a tale of revenge through the artifice of intrigue and cold calculation. Dumas creates a broken man, betrayed by a trio of duplicitous schemers, and ...

Michelle Goodman

Seal Press, 2006

Great, inspiring advice
This guide is a great way to think through all the ramifications of "living outside the cubical" BEFORE you commit to that lifestyle. The advice is concrete and practical, and extremely helpful for taking your dreams out of your head and putting them into reality.

Solo
com) from Atlanta, Georgia November 14, 1998 Dear Emma and Marc, Solo is awesome, the images and narrative are both soulful and powerful. As a practicing artist I'm attracted to the imagery in your book. The photographs have a cinematic quality to them, in particular the series of photo's of Holly Palmer. When I look at the images in your book I feel spirit and emotion of the people ...

Only Child: Writers on the Singular Joys and Solitary Sorrows of Growing Up Solo

28 reviews

Three Rivers Press, 2008

A must read for an only child or anyone who knows one
This was a terrific book. Although I am an only child with many only child friends, I had never thought so much about how much that aspect of my background shaped my life. Reading this book was like reading my own diary - I discovered many things in common with these writers, and found their stories funny, heartwarming and fascinating. I want to give it to everyone I know so that they will ...

Helen Thayer

NewSage Press, 2002

I can't believe she did the whole thing!
I am a big fan of stories of artic adventure, and this is one of the best. In this day of snow mobiles and ATVs, we have a woman at 50 -- author Helen Thayer -- setting out to walk to the magnectic north pole, pulling her own sled and accompanied by an Inuit dog she had only known for a couple of days. On her first day out, she suffers such terrible frostbite of her fingers they become almost ...

Basic Clinical Massage Therapy Real Bodywork DVD (Solo)

James H Clay, David M Pounds

Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2006

Just Great
I have bought many books and DVD's on massage and anatomy and this is by far the best. It acomplishes what others often fail at and what all my teachers tried to instill in me, looking at a body in a 3 dimensional way. Did I mention the DVD? I was soo suprised that it actually showed everthing (well at least all the anatomy, palaptations, striping and crossfibering) thats in the book. I am very ...

The Beatles Solo on Apple Records

Bruce Spizer

Four Ninety-Eight Productions, 2005

THE BEATLES SOLO ON APPLE RECORDS
For the completest. Bruce Spizers' second Beatles Apple publication dissects and represents the many international incarnations of the individual output of John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr whilst they were still associated with Apple Records. Sadly much of this output was merely associated with Apple due to contractractual obligations. In some cases under protest. But ...

Frederick Noad

Music Sales Corp, 1990

Excellent!
I purchased this book with a little scepticism. However, after owning this book, I still cannot play the guitar! Its pathetic! More than anything this book tought me a very valuable lesson: Eventhough I want to be a great classical guitarist I must first buy a guitar.

Operation Solo: The FBI's Man in the Kremlin

John Barron

Regnery Publishing, Inc., 1997

SON OF AGENT
I am the son of the FBI agent Richard Hansen. I can attest to the secrecy of this operation by explaining how I learned about it. In 1997 I was looking through the new arrivals at my local library. I started leafing through this book and did a double take when I saw my dad's name. I checked out the book, rushed home, called my dad. Sure enough, he admitted that he was the agent in the book. ...

Marcia E. Cleveland

MMJ Press, 1999

An inspiration for anyone with a goal
I found Dover Solo to be a good read with an appeal that should cross over different reader interests. At the risk of cries of nepotism, I would say up front that I live in Ms Cleveland's home town and that I have met and found her to be very personable and interesting. I am also a triathlete and I swim in the same waters off Greenwich Point, in Greenwich Ct, as she did in her training. Hence ...

371 Harmonized Chorales and 69 Chorale Melodies w/Figured Bass: Piano Solo

8 reviews

G. Schirmer, Inc., 1986

A must-have for music students
This is nearly indispensable for the serious music student. Used in most first-year theory courses, the Bach Chorales illustrate what the master did and why our Western music theory is based on the chorales he wrote. First bought 18 years ago, I found that I'd somehow lost my copy along the way. I bought another copy since I'm taking further music theory courses and though it isn't required ...

Alfred Publishing Company, 1978

Great Buy for any sax player
I got this for my upcoming lessons in college and so far its great. I play alto sax and its alot of fun to be able to play along with bird. The only thing the book dosen't have is the recordings. Something from his verve years should cover just about everything though, I put a link on here for a cd collection. Theres some stuff that he recorded with savoy as well but most of it should be in the ...

Duet for Solo Piano Rocks!
If you love music and you love a good novel, this book is for you. From the first sentence you are drawn into the story and want to know more. Duet for Solo Piano--what an intriguing idea! The story is written with a depth of knowledge of classical music and of the music world. Romance, tragedy, redemption--this book has it all. And before you've even finished the first chapter, you'll want to ...

Dragon Publishing, 2006

Great book!
If you are like me and have an interest in going racing someday, this book really shows you what you have to do to get into the sport on a decent budget. I read the book in a day (which is a HUGE feat for me - I never liked books very much). It is very informative and sometimes humorous. It's laid back, but provides the advice and teachings that would prove very helpful when the time comes. Gran, ...

Dan Coates Complete / Advanced Piano Solos

11 reviews
Dan Coates

Alfred Publishing Company, 1999

Challenging and fun
The songs in this book are challenging yet worth it once you've learned them. The arrangements are well-written and flow smoothly when they're up-to-speed. The difficulty range is not huge, and tends to hover between intermediate and advanced. The left hand usually plays broken chords which are simple, yet effectively lay a base for the right-handed melodies. A great selection!

Mark Hanson

Accent on Music, 1988

Best Lesson Book I have ever purchased
Many of the other reviews have said it first, but Mark Hanson has created an excellent series of finger picking lesson books. The Art of Solo Fingerpicking is an intermediate fingerpicking book. If you can only strum a few chords or are new to fingertyle, start off with Mark's The Art of Contemporary Travis Style Picking first and then come back to this one. The exercises (in both books) ...

Kiss Me, I'm Single: An Ode to the Solo Life

Amanda Ford

Conari Press, 2007

From J. Kaye's Book Blog
Amanda Ford understands the pains of being single, but says it's just a natural state of life. And isn't that the truth? If so, then why do we try to avoid those things in life which we find distasteful? Is it peer pressure? Media? Or maybe it's a little of both. In KISS ME, I'M SINGLE, Amanda Ford has single women step back and evaluate their life, not run from it. She encourages us to rid ...

Thinking of leaving your job, or you have recently joined the ranks of solo professional, this book is a must for you
Michael Katz, in his book "It Sure Beats Working: 29 Quirky Stories and Practical Business Lessons for the First-time, Mid-Life, Solo Professional", made me feel as if I was involved in a personal conversation with the author through his journey towards becoming a solo professional. While reading, I laughed and shook my head in affirmation while Katz recounted stories which included starting a ...

Yanni - In My Time (Piano Solos)

Yanni

Hal Leonard Corporation, 1993

Yanni- In My Time
This is a must-have for all pianists who love Yanni! Each piece is emotionally moving and ingeniously intricate, though not so intricate as to be impossibly difficult. There are only one or two typos that most people would miss, but they never detract from the integrity of the piece. "In The Morning Light" is exceptionally beautiful, and is not that difficult. "Until The Last Moment" is another ...
