Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-05-31 Summary: THE HAMMER BEAUTIES ... In the 1950s, the Hammer Studios literally revived the horror genre with modern takes on Frankenstein, Dracula, and the mummy. The studio made stars out of actors Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee. Besides producing some of the best horror films of the 50s and 60s, Hammer was also noted for the many gorgeous actresses who starred in the films. These ranged from women making their film debuts to established screen stars. The entries feature biographical information about each actress, career highlights, information ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-04-04 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. ...more
[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-03-16 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 ...more
[4] Rating: 4 Date: 2010-02-11 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? ...more
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 Bursting at the seams with rare and previously unpublished photographs from Hammer’s archive and private collections worldwide, and featuring many new interviews, Hammer Glamour is a lavish, full...more

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: 2009-01-03 Summary: Stunning ... in my top ten book list ... This Lutheran novel is broken into 3 stories at different times chronologically. The newest edition of this book has a new chapter never before translated which is good because I always thought the novel ended too abruptly and left me wondering what had happened! I have not yet read this last chapter as I have an earlier edition. I connected immediately to this book. The following are 3 sections of the book that stunned me to which I hope would draw you in as it did me. In the first part we find a dying old man screaming ...more
[3] 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
[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: 5 Date: 2010-06-13 Summary: Vols fan ... I absolutely love this book. Whenever I get in a down mood, I will pick this book up and read a couple chapters. It is hysterical, especially if you understand what SEC football is all about. I have bought this book and given it as a gift for other SEC fans. Love it!!!!! ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-02-27 Summary: Absolutely entertaining!! ... As reader, this book is well written and very entertaining. And, as all good books, it has great insights into human nature. As a college football fan, it was enjoyable to read about fellow followers. And, as an Alabama fan, it was neat to read about Alabama football events that I followed and/or participated in. A must read for all Alabama fans. A great read for college football fans. ...more
[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-01-23 Summary: Great read for any college football fan! ... I really enjoyed this read. However, I am a huge SEC college football fan. There were a few laugh-out-loud parts, and most of the book kept a good humurous pace. I would definitely recommend this book to any sports fan! ...more
[4] Rating: 4 Date: 2010-01-21 Summary: fans are nuts ... this is an interesting study of "fans". Mr St John chose to follow the fans of the Crimson Tide during one footbal season but he attempts to analyze "what is a fan"... he could have easily chosen a hockey team or even a famous performer. He did however convince me I NEVER want to go anywherein an RV. ...more
Editorial Reviews — ... Product Description | What is it about sports that turns otherwise sane people into raving lunatics? Why does winning compel people to tear down goal posts, and losing, to drown themselves in bad keg beer? In short, why do fans care? In search of answers, Warren St. John seeks out the roving community of RVers who follow the Alabama Crimson Tide from game to game. A movable feast of Weber grills and Igloo coolers, these are hard-core football fans who arrive on Wednesday for Saturday’s game: The Reeses, who...more

Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-03-27 Summary: old timer does the trick ... When I was young, I loved Mike Hammer. It was nostalgia to re-read the yarns. It might give the new generation laughs as there were no computers, cell-phones or caller id's. The forensic department was a joke. The detective actually had to use the brain. Womanizing and boozing, eating bloody steaks and blowing low-lives away without going to jail was the thing to do. I still get a kick out of it. ...more
[2] Rating: 4 Date: 2009-02-20 Summary: Memory lane part 2 ... This book, like volume one is a wonderful trip down memory lane of the 1950's. Even if you were born much later, it is a great look back at a time when everyone smoked, cars had start buttons, and women were dames. Also missing is all the cuss words in all the books and movies of today. ...more
[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-07-10 Summary: Mickey's The Man ... Tough, sexy, with a heart of gold underneath, Mike Hammer is the ultimate private eye and Spillane is the perfect writer to capture every bit of him and his stinkin' world. ...more
