Summary: a must have
... i remember seeing my first "hammer" film on late night tv at about age 9 and learning that i'm really really attracted to women and terrified of vampires. This book is really well produced with informative commentary and great photos. A must have for film buffs.

Summary: Beautifully presented and superbly organized
... An icon of B movie productions, Britain's Hammer Studios turned out some of the best horror genre flicks the 1950s and early 1960s had to offer. Especially their vampire films which continue to be popular late night television fare. A mainstay of their enduring entertainment value was the veritable bevy of beautiful (and often scantily clad) actresses. Now Marcus Hearn has gone into the Hammer archives and assembled a 160-page compendium of photographs showcasing these women whose contributions on screen gave Hammer

Summary: Another great book from Marcus Hearn
... This book would be worth it if only for the photos, but the "stories" for each of the glammour girls is equally facinating. One complaint: Where's "Hands of the Ripper"'s Jane Merrow?

Editorial Reviews ... Product Description | Over fifty years ago, with the release of The Curse of Frankenstein and Christopher Lee in Dracula , Hammer ushered in a whole new era of blood and barely restrained cleavage in glorious colour, mixing sex and horror with a style and panache that made the small British company world famous. Bursting at the seams with rare and previously unpublished photographs from Hammer’s archive and private collections worldwide, and featuring many new interviews, Hammer Glamour is a lavish, full

Customer Reviews [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-02-19 Summary: Both theological and literary qualities ... This is the foremost work by bishop Bo Giertz, a man who combined spiritual and literary genius. Few authors have been able to express the central theological truths with such a depth and acuteness of perception, as well as a lively imagination. While most mature Christians in the end appreciate the spiritual value of the book most, its formal qualities are also evident. Giertz's power of living the part of his characters is well-developed, the beauty of his Swedish is noteworthy, and his ability to capture the ways ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2007-10-12 Summary: Powerful and extremely moving ... During the years of its reign as the Established Church of Sweden, the Evangelical Lutheran Church grew increasingly abusive, unresponsive, liberal, and divorced from the lives of the common Swedish peasants. But, during the 18th century, the Pietism movement came to Sweden, calling people to individual piety and personal holiness. The Church of Sweden reacted vigorously against the movement, resulting in split congregations, persecution, emigration, and, finally, reform. In this wonderful book, Swedish Lutheran Bishop ...more
[3] Rating: 4 Date: 2006-07-26 Summary: Law/Gospel distinction - the forgotten doctrine of the Reformation ... This is an excellent book and much needed for evangelicals in our day. Although this is laden with some Lutheran thought that I theologically disagree with (being a Reformed Baptist), so that a small amount of discernment is required, from my point of view, the thrust of the book is about Christ alone as the sole foundation of our hope and the distinction between Law and Gospel. For one who generally does not read novels, this book is welcome both for these theological reasons and for the interest in the stories themselves. ...more
[4] Rating: 4 Date: 2006-05-25 Summary: Touches a nerve ... Bo Giertz' The Hammer of God should be read by anyone entering the pastorate. The book is divided into three novellas, each set in a different era in a particular area of Sweden. Each novella basically follows the same story: A nominally Christian pastor recently graduates from a modernist university and gets assigned, against his desires, to a country parish. He soon undergoes a kind of conversion experience as he is faced with the realities of parish life, especially with the existential questions of his parishoners, ...more
Editorial Reviews ... Product Description | In this bestselling novel, three pastors learn the necessity of relying on God's grace. They fall short of their pastoral duties through public humiliation, self-doubt, inability to accept God's promises in their own lives, and divisions and quarreling among their parishioners. Ultimately each man rejects temptations and permits the Holy Spirit to work through him. This revised edition includes the final chapter, never before published in English. The new introduction provides historical...more

Customer Reviews [1] Rating: 4 Date: 2010-07-19 Summary: A trip to a simpler time ... It's been 50 years since I first read these three books. I feel like an anthropologist rereading them today - 25 cents for a "deck of Luckies", change back from a dollar at a saloon, 5 cents for a local call on a pay phone, engaging a car's starter with your foot, a reporter's typewriter referred to as a "mill", elevator operators, and parking on the street in Manhattan. There is not a single word that would offend the FCC, but there is also little regard for the sensitivities of African-Americans or gays. That said, ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-07-09 Summary: The three that started it al..... ... I'm a big hard-boiled noir fan, and these are three of the stories that started it all. You can clearly see the heritage of Mickeys Spillane in Vachss Burke character, as another reviewed noted all the way down to the beat up car with the super powerful engine, and both in New Your city. All three were written between 1947 and 1950, so the dated slang, the homophobia, and the views of sex, and women are all interesting, and but the prose itself is outstanding. The first couple paragraphs of MY GUN IS QUICK are classic. ...more
[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-06-09 Summary: Just get to the meat of the matter ... Mickey Spillane's Mike Hammer collection is a must have for detective thrillers and nostalgia seekers alike. The lowest common denominator language unembellished with adjectives and adverbs is raw, urgent, harsh and cuts to the bone. Hammer is a hard drinking neanderthal with a nonstop libido. Maybe if people read more by writers like Spillane, they wouldn't believe the flowery garbage they see in print these days was so good. The first story dove straight into the fray. It is hard to put the volume down. ...more
[4] Rating: 4 Date: 2009-02-20 Summary: Down memory lane ... I loved these books when I was in High School. They were a big reason I became a private detective. But, they are a little dated for today. I enjoyed the trip down memory lane when everyone smoked, cars and starter buttons, and girls were dames. They are a wonderful look back into the 1950's. ...more

Under the Grammar Hammer
Customer Reviews [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2006-11-10 Summary: a dreamy boy's view of grammar ... Mr. Cazort was apparently never one for rules. This is evident in his approach to grammar [and other things, it seems]. Though dry in spots, he unleashes his wetness in some of the later chapters. This book is for beginners and professionals alike when you want to know if it sounds "write." Never "hard core," often "old corps," this is sound advice from a real master of the genre. ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2000-06-15 Summary: Help for the Grammatically Challenged ... If you are confounded by "fickle fragments, subterranean subjects, pliant pronouns, or homonyms from Hell," Douglas Cazort offers help for those who transgress against the conventions of formal English. In UNDER THE GRAMMAR HAMMER, Cazort examines the 25 most significant grammatical errors committed by violators he identifies as "educated Americans." This concise reference book provides quick remedies for lessening the blows from hammers wielded by defenders of the correct word. Replete with colorful anecdotes and ...more
[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2000-06-15 Summary: Grammar for Students and New Teachers ... The humor, cartoons, and folksy style of this book make it easy to read and study. Highly useful for helping teachers to learn the grammar they most need in order to help students learn to edit for these twenty "most important" grammar mistakes, the book is great for student use, too. It includes a reassuring chapter titled "You Know More Grammar than You Know You Know, and You Need to Learn Less than you Think." The last chapter recommends "America Lighten Up." ...more
