![]() Covert Persuasion: Psychological Tactics and Tricks to Win the Game $24.95 I should have guessed or followed my instinct. I bought this book, overriding my better judgement when I saw that one of the endorsements came from "Dr." Joe Vitale, a fake doctor who calls himself a "Doctor of Metaphysics" and jumps on board all these types of books. I found this book useless and nothing more than a basic primer for basic sales 101. All of this stuff has been covered throughout the years ad nauseum... And repackaging it with a new and catchy title isn't going to raise this book above the rest of the pack, only pry money out of your wallet thinking they are on to something new and unique... Again, I should have followed my hunch when I saw the fake Doctor Vitale endorsement... ![]() Photoshop CS4 Down & Dirty Tricks $44.99 This is a great book for learning little design "tricks of the trade" and it lives up to that quite well. This book is not the be-all end-all of Photoshop books but it gives you some great ideas to build on. It covers various types of layouts including web and print and also some text tricks. I found it to be especially good for finding little extras to add to my everyday designs. There are some photography tips but keep in mind that it is not a photography book by any means. There is, however, a chapter on 3D, which is new to CS4, and this book does a good job of showing what can be done with it. I just wish there were a little more substance and pizzazz to it. This is a great book if you're looking to take your ordinary designs and make them extraordinary. Overall, I am very happy with this book and can't wait to put a few more of the tips to work in some of my projects. ![]() Trick $24.98 This movie is amazing. I remember living in NYC, in the very same places where the lead character is living, and all of the things that happens to him were things I remember so well from being in the theater there. Jim Fall has captured such a lovely, heart breaking, and hysterical story, and has put together a bunch of really lovely actors in all the roles. Who can't fall in love with the lead hunk, Pitoc? Who doesn't love what Tori Spelling does in this role? And Campbell is so charming that you just want him to have a happy ending, in more ways than one!!! This is a film that should be a part of everyone's DVD collection..period. ![]() Trick 'r Treat [Blu-ray] $35.99 Trick r Treat is one of the best horror movies I have seen in a long time. There are many different stories in this movie and each one is awesome, this movie will end up being a cult classic and deservedly so. |
