from Applause
Price: $15.34
Customer Review:
Let me begin this review by stating, that of all of the text books I have had after a six year stint in college, I have used this book the most. I have used this book to not only research shows for synopsis', but I've helped a local high school pick their yearly musical from this show for the past... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

| 2. |  | The 101 Habits Of Highly Successful Screenwriters: Insider's Secrets from Hollywood's Top Writers
from Adams Media
Price: $10.36
Customer Review:
This book was very helpful. As someone who currently has no "mentor" so to speak in the film industry, this book has acted as my temporary guide. It addresses many problems screenwriters go through, as well as warning people of the pitfalls that many aspiring screenwriters fall into. Highly... more info | 5.0 / 5.0

| 3. |  | The Quotable John Wayne: The Grit and Wisdom of an American Icon
from Taylor Trade Publishing
Price: $10.17
Customer Review:
I got this book as a stocking stuffer for my Dad (loves John Wayne movies) this Christmas and he has really enjoyed it. I wasn't sure how it would go over because he's not a big reader but, since it's mostly quotes, it is easy for him to pick up and put down whenever he feels like it. Browsing... more info | 5.0 / 5.0

from Oxford University Press, USA
Price: $49.45
Customer Review:
It's good to have eyes that work reasonably well, and a "user's manual" such as this to learn how to use them. | 4.0 / 5.0

| 5. |  | The Wadsworth Anthology of Drama
from Heinle
Customer Review:
This book is perfect for studying theatre history! It contains prominent plays from each time period as well as the history behind them. One is not only able to read the play, but also learn what was going at the time it was written. This makes the play much more meaningful. In that sense, it's the... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

| 6. |  | King Lear (Cambridge School Shakespeare)
from Cambridge University Press
Price: $11.20
Customer Review:
"King Lear" is where Shakespeare takes off the gloves. He brings us right to the edge of the abyss, then kicks us over that edge. This is the most devastating by far of the Shakespeare tragedies -- a play which leaves the reader shattered as the curtain falls.
I find it hard to explain where... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

| 7. |  | Notes on Directing
from RCR Creative Press
Price: $13.57
Customer Review:
As an amature director this little book will be referred to over and over. The excellence of the master director speaks to the point and carries with it the weight of weathered experience. | 5.0 / 5.0

Customer Review:
If you have a child like mine who will quite happily spend hours discussing Doctor Who's pasts, present and futures, then this tome is a perfect way to satisfy their hunger for all things Whovian while literally buying you a moment's peace. | 5.0 / 5.0

from Limelight Editions
Price: $29.35
Customer Review:
I tried to learn an accent the cheap way by buying this book, but realized the only way to learn accents or dialects effectively is to see a dialect coach. | 3.5 / 5.0

| 10. |  | Rat Pack Confidential: Frank, Dean, Sammy, Peter, Joey and the Last Great Show Biz Party
from Main Street Books
Price: $10.17
Customer Review:
This book was as depressing as it was interesting. The author was a bit indulgent with some of the suppositions, and there was a bit too much information on the Kennedy family. Overall, I learned more about a group of very fallible human beings. I lost some respect for some, gained some for others... more info | 4.0 / 5.0
