Awesome!

Sideways: The Shooting Script

Alexander Payne, Jim Taylor

Newmarket, 2004

A wonderful read
I loved the movie. On impulse, I sought out the screen play because I wanted to see how the story looked on paper. The experience was illuminating for the insight it provided me in how movies are crafted. But more importantly, being able to pause at an interesting ...

DVD Demystified Third Edition

Jim Taylor

McGraw-Hill/TAB Electronics, 2006

If you are a dancer or a dance-related professional, just read it no matter what. In such a compact book, you couldn't want any more. A dance department in a college would open a new course named "Psychology of Dance" if they knew that this book existed. I am ...

The Drowned

A triumph.

The Sideways Guide to Wine and Life [64-page Squarebound Paperback Edition]

Alexander Payne, Jim Taylor

Newmarket, 2005

A mild vintage...
According to the introduction, "The Sideways Guide to Wine and Life" is meant to be a "celebration" of the movie, the novel, and wine country. If so, since the booklet is about an eighth of an inch thick and around the size of a CD case, it's a short and sweet one. ...

Of Mice and Men: with Notes (New Longman Literature)

John Steinbeck, Jim Taylor

Longman, 2000

A masterpiece of efficiency and meaning
If an index could be created that would measure a book's significance and divide it by the number of words, few books would come anywhere near "Of Mice and Men". This is a book that every aspiring writer (and many active ones) should read and then keep in mind as a ...
