An expertly presented guide through the 2005 year of American and foreign film productions
Screen World: 2005 Film Annual Volume 56 by movie expert and critic John Willis with the assistance of Barry Monush is an expertly presented guide through the 2005 year of American and foreign film productions. Providing readers with an in-depth explorations of the wonderfully diverse world of the cinema, Screen World provides a succinct description of every 2005 movie from La Vie Promise; The Polar Express; and Garden State, to Paper Clips; Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind; and Team America: World Police. A core addition to film school and film buff reference collections, Screen World is a "must" for all lovers of the big-screen and is justifiable designated as the ultimate reference for 2005's quite remarkable year of moviemaking.

Take a peek...
Feeling a little out of it as far as modern movies go?Need some fresh ideas?This book is a treat to go through - hundreds and hundreds of pictures from domestic and foreign films (all the major films released in the US in 2004).The plot synopsis are very brief, but have to be with how much is crammed into this book.At the end are lists of top box office starts, top box office films, and bibliographical data on hundreds of actors and actresses.A section of obituaries chronicles the lives of film personalities who passed away in 2004.I'd suggest 'Hotel Rwanda,' 'The Chorus,' 'Ray,' and 'Phantom of the Opera.'

Agreat almanac of important days and events
This work is the ultimate reference tool for the calendar. It is divided into two parts. In the first part on Calendar Customs we have a rich but not exhaustive chronology of the days of the year (from pages 1-544) recording historic events which occurred on specific dates as well as notable holidays. This is followed by material covering the seasons, months, days,Western moveable feasts, Orthodox moveable feasts and miscellaneous holidays that were not incorporated in the main chronology, e.g Handsel Monday.
The most thorough calender reference available
This 937 page reference work of calendar customs and time-reckoning is a modern day version of Robert Chambers's "Book of Days" (1864), and is now surely THE definitive reference work on the subject.For every day of the year (including February 30, which has been observed three times in past calendars, once in Sweden and twice in the Soviet Union), there is a listing of the date (e.g., 25 Abril), the Roman date (e.g., a.d. VII Kalendas Maias), a list of Holidays and Anniversaries (e.g., Australia, New Zealand, Samoa, Tonga: ANZAC Day) or Holy Days (e.g., Mark the Evangelist) or perhaps something from Ancient Rome (e.g., "On this day was held the ceremony for keeping rust off crops, the Robigalia,").Moreover, there are usually one or two paragraphs given to explain the origins of various holidays or as biographical background.Sometimes poems or literary excerpts are inserted to further enliven the entry.Additionally, a generous amount of humor and bonhomie are sprinkled throughout the text. An absolute treasure chest!
More than just a scholarly reference, this mind-bogglingly comprehensive book is masterfully written and offers something for everyone.From the historical significance and traditions of each day of the year to thecalendars and time-reckoning systems used all over the world throughouthistory, the Oxford Companion to the Year is chock-full of obscure bits ofhistory, poems, quotations, and illustrations.Absolutely fascinatingreading--a must-have for the new millennium! ...

Fun and Informative
Mr. Laporte's style is always well written, informative and has a touch of humor. It's my opinion that this is a book for those new to tech or for those who just like to have some good miscellaneous tips and info at hand. After purchasing the very good 2002, 2003 and 2004 Tech Almanacs, it was a given to add this one to my collection.
A Great Book
If your interested in computers, PC or Mac, or just technology in general, this book is for you. Filled with great info and interesting facts you'll keep refering back to this book over and over.

Thank You Leo
We have TechTV no more, we no longer can watch The Screen Savers and see Leo, and I can not watch Call For Help anymore now that it is only shown in Canada.All of those things are sad but we still do have Leo's wisdom, teaching, and advice coming to us each day through the pages of his new almanac.Just like the past three almanacs...the information is clear, simple, and to the point.I enjoy getting my daily dose of help and technology with this book.Yes you can search the web for this info, but that is not the point.This is a daily one stop source for some everyday, useable information on computing.I own all the almanacs that have been produced and this new 2005 version holds true to it roots of teaching, humor, and just plain fun. ...

SIMPLY THE BEST COMIC PRICE GUIDE!
Comics Values Annual 2006 is Krause Publications, publishers of the long-running Comic Buyer's Guide.I've been a big fan of KP's comic price guides as a great alternative to the Overstreet Comic Book Price Guide.My main problem with Overstreet is the endless pages of ads you get in each new edition that grows longer each year.I don't need 150 pages of dealer ads and with eBay, who really needs these dealers anyway?I just want prices and information which is what Comics Values Annual 2006 delivers in a no-frills package.
The Price Guide is in! The Price Guide is in!
Receiving my copy of this book is always a good day. The book has real (not articificially inflated) prices of actively-traded comics, as well as credible insights into the marketplace and readable interviews with industry pros. I highly recommend it.
