Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-05-14 Summary: A-1 Biography of a 1970's Legendary Band ... I read this as a follow-up to the more recent Zep biography "When Giants Walked the Earth", and I was not disappointed. Both books are excellent and cover additional/different material. Entertaining and interesting. The material on the 1960's British rock scene was especially insightful. I hadn't realized that the major acts of that time that would grow to become legends had so much interaction and friendship i.e., the Stones, the Who, Rod Stewart, Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, etc. ...more
[2] Rating: 4 Date: 2010-03-15 Summary: Gets points for being the first book on this seminal band ... I read "Hammer of the Gods" when it first came out in the early 80s, well after Led Zeppelin broke up and somewhere between Robert Plant's solo MTV success and The Firm. At that time, a history of Led Zep was already long overdue. During the 70s, they were one of the biggest bands, if not THE biggest band, active in the US. I grew up in the Midwest in the 70s, and every guitar player of my generation was influenced in some way by Zeppelin, regardless of what style he ended up playing (yes, even the punk rockers). Nowadays ...more
[3] Rating: 4 Date: 2009-08-21 Summary: Rock Gods For Sure! ... Love this band they can do no wrong in my eyes. Definately the best heavy rock band ever. There will never be another Jimmy or Robert, the combination was magic. Loved the book hard to put it down, very raw! ...more
Editorial Reviews — ... Product Description | The members of Led Zeppelin are major deities in the pantheon of rock gods. The first and heaviest of the heavy metal monsters, they violently shook the foundations of rock music and took no prisoners on the road. Their tours were legendary, their lives were exalted—and in an era well known for sex and drugs, the mighty Zeppelin set an unattainable standard of excess and mythos for any band that tried to follow them. They were power, they were fantasy, they were black magic. No band...more

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

[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
The Mike Hammer Collection, Volume 2: One Lonely Night, The Big Kill, Kiss Me Deadly
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: 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

The Hammer Story
Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-10-18 Summary: Excellent Overview ... I am not normally a fan of "coffee table" books. But, in this case, I am happy to make an exception. In this large volume, the editors essentially try to tell the story of Hammer Studios, the movie production company that went from obscurity to legend in the genre of horror and suspense. It is, as other reviews quite correctly point out, not complete, so it cannot be called a full history. But, I still give it five stars for superb editing, superior physical construction and layout, and the synposes of most of Hammer's ...more
[2] Rating: 4 Date: 2008-11-18 Summary: The Haunted House That Hammer Built ... Alan Barnes and Marcus Hearn's THE HAMMER STORY is an exhaustive historical study of the horror films produced by Britain's Hammer Studios from the 1950s to the 1970s. For each film, the book offers a story synopsis, production history, and a discussion of critical and popular reaction. Also, the book includes a short history of the studio itself and information on those who helmed and shaped it over the years, and short biographies of some of the stars, screenwriters, and directors of various films are scattered throughout. ...more
[3] Rating: 4 Date: 2008-07-21 Summary: Stylish Yet Incomplete Survey of Hammer ... First off, Titan Books should be commended for producing a very attractive, informative volume with lots of great photos concerning the history of Hammer Studios. The key films are discussed in depth, usually with two pages devoted to behind-the-scenes info regarding all your favorites. My one quibble would be with what the book isn't -- this is not a comprehensive survey of Hammer's entire output. The b&w thrillers are glossed over as are the comedies, the swashbucklers and the forgotten noirs. All well and good if ...more
[4] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-06-27 Summary: Long, Live Hammer Films ... This book has everything you would want to know about Hammer Studios, great artwork, wonderful summaries and much more. ...more
Editorial Reviews — ... Product Description | Fifty years ago, Hammer Films released The Curse of Frankenstein. The now-legendary British company went on to make such classics as Dracula (and its many sequels), making international stars out of Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee, changing the face of horror cinema, and inspiring a generation of Hollywood filmmakers, including George Lucas, Martin Scorsese and Tim Burton. Now, for the first time, Hammer have given their active backing to an authorised history of the company, and have...more
