Amazing Price
I purchased a book on very amazing prize of just 50 cents, that too in very good condition!The delivery time of the item was very perfect!!

The Man, The Myth, The Legend... THE BOOK.
As one can tell, not only am I truly a Tim Burton fan, but I am also a fan of this well put together ensemble of musings from a person I believe is one of the greatest director's and cinematic visionaries of his time. So in one sense, one might say that I could be biased that I am already a Burton fan. However, as an avid book reader, the subject matter is extremely intriguing and the editorial precise and unbiased.

I think the thing I liked most about this book, is that an overwhelming percentage of the text are in Burton's own words. The editor wraps this nicely in a very smooth flowing readable arch without making many presumptions as to what Burton himself might be thinking. Honestly, this is one book I couldn't, and didn't, put down and it was an extremely satisfying read.

Even as a true "Burtonite", I found myself learning all sorts of interesting little details and insights about the man, that I otherwise would not have garnered on my own. The series of these books have been a gold-label of fascinating reads on directors from all sorts of styles and genres, so it is not surprising that their editor selection is impeccable.

The books covers everything from Burton's idolization of greats like Roger Corman, Vincent Price, Ray Harryhausen and the early Hammer Films. It covers his simple beginnings in the often paradoxical suburbs of Burbank, his "imprisonment" in the Disney system, disdain for the major studio system andultimate serendipitous events which lead up to him being one of the most highly sought after and most successful directors of our time. On a deeply humanistic note, it delves into his need to connect with something on a personal level on each film he does, his close personal relationships with Johnny Depp, Lisa Marie and Helena Bohnam Carter, among others, and his perception on estrangement with his parents. The book goes on to thoroughly review each of Burton's features which included what he was thinking during all stages of production, including many illustrations often by Burton himself. Finally it sums of his preference to reuse many cast and crew including (but by no means limited too) Christopher Lee, Danny Devito, Rick Heinrichs, Collen Atwood, Chris Lebenzon and Danny Elfman, which is detailed further with explanation of his dislike for verbal communication. Furthermore, and perhaps more importantly, there are some very intimate moments in this novel from Burton's perspective including his disheartening with the tabloids over rumors of an affair with Helena Bohnam Carter on the set of "Planet of the Apes", his discouragement with the studio system especially in terms ofthe "Batman" and "Superman" franchises and dealing with the suicide of his friend and "Batman" corroborator, Production Designer Anton Furst.

The back jacket of the book says it succinctly in a quote from Empire "A must for fans", but I beg to differ. This book is not only a must for fans, but anyone looking for a little contemporary documentation on a fascinating individual who is truly one of a kind, despite what you think of his particular brand of aesthetics.

A Peek Into a Brilliant Career
Burton on Burton is a great read for anyone who loves Tim's movies and who would like a glimpse into how movies are made.I've always connected to Burton's films because they're unusual and full of heart.I loved walking around in Tim's head for a few days.

The WONDERFUL Mr. Burton!
I absolutely love Tim Burton and Johnny Depp, so when I saw that the book was about Tim Burton and there was an introduction by Johnny Depp, I had to buy it! The book includes the first foreword Johnny wrote for this book and it also includes the more recent foreword he wrote.

With regards to the wonderful Mr. Burton, this book is a compilation of interviews put together to draw an intensely intimate portrait of him! No website or five minute interview can get more information in it than this book does. The best part about this book is that the words belong to Tim Burton; there are no assumptions of who he is and what he believes according to the writer. "Burton on Burton" chapters are broken up into the movies Tim Burton has created but it also examines what he was doing at the time, how he felt, and what he was thinking when he was in the process of creating his films. Being able to get into the mindset of Tim Burton enhances the enjoyment one acquires while watching his movies. In any case, while I believed some symbols he uses often meant one thing, Tim Burton stresses that they meant something completely beyond the metaphorical condition(s) an audience has set.

Overall, I highly recommend this book to anyone willing to understand Tim Burton and his breathtaking talents. This book is enchantingly captivating and makes you feel as though you truly know Tim Burton by the end of the book. Mark Salisbury (the editor) has surpassed his job in this book and stays true to Tim Burtons words. If you read this book and enjoy it, I would also recommend the more recent, "Sweeny Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street," written by Mark Salisbury and Tim Burton. Everything created by Tim Burton is truly magnificent and this book will allow you to view a more personal side of Tim Burton through the thing(s) he does best: art.

Product Description
This is a biography of Winona Ryder. A child star at 13, she grew up in front of the camera and is the first American actress since Natalie Wood to transcend a career from adolescence to adulthood. It is the story of an A-list actress who refuses to conform to the Tinseltown ideal of fame. Winona built her career on her own terms to create a fan following from her early roles in "Beetlejuice", "Edward Scissorhands" and "Heathers", and later in "The Age of Innocence", "Little Women" and "The Crucible" - a total of 20 films in all. Her wide-eyed naivety belies her determination, talent and maturity as she moves into film co-production. There is coverage of: her engagement to Hollywood rebel Johnny Depp, and how she called it off; and her unorthodox childhood on a California commune around such counterculture luminaries as her godfather Timothy Leary, Allen Ginsberg, Ken Kesey and Lawrence Ferlinghetti. The book contains movie stills, candid shots, plus memorabilia. It includes a complete filmography, plus an indication of works in progress.Nigel Goodall is the author of "Cher in Her Own Words", "Elton John: A Visual Documentary", "George Michael in His Own Words", "Jump Up: The Rise of the Rolling Stones", and co-author (with Peter Lewry) of "The Complete Cliff Richard Chronicle" and "The Ultimate Cliff". ...

Product Description
Anne Frank's The Diary of a Young Girl is among the most enduring documents of the twentieth century. Since its publication in 1947, Anne Frank's story has become familiar to millions all over the world, and remains a beloved and deeply admired testament to the indestructible nature of the human spirit.

Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl

The Definitive Edition

Included in this Definitive Edition are diary entries previously omitted from the original, passages which reinforce the fact that Anne was first and foremost a teenage girl, not a remote and flawless symbol. She fretted over her emerging sexuality; often found herself in disagreement with the adults around her; and veered between the carefree nature of a child and the full-fledged sorrow of an adult living under extraordinary conditions and unbearable strain. Anne emerges more triumphantly and heart-breakingly human, more vulnerable, and more vital than ever.

Anne Frank and her family hid in the back of an Amsterdam warehouse for two years in an effort to escape the horrors of Nazi occupation. Only thirteen when her family went into the Secret Annex, she reveals her daily life as the world around them succumbed to the worst horror the modern world had seen, facing hunger, the threat of discovery and death, estrangement from the outside world, and above all, the boredom, the petty misunderstandings, and the frustrations of living in such confined quarters.

A timeless story rediscovered by each new generation, The Diary of a Young Girl stands without peer, and acclaimed actress Winona Ryder brings this unforgettable young woman to life in a stunning performance for listeners of all ages to cherish.Amazon.com Review

Review of Ordering Anne Frank
This website is great for ordering things. I ordered this book around September and got it in about 5 to 7 days. The book was new and really cheap compared to how it cost new. Great Product!Even Greater Website!!!

truly human and inspiring
The words and thoughts of Anne, are quite unique...inspiring, heart felt , open, spontaneous, down to earth. you can actually invision and feel a-lot about her personal thoughts and struggles, as she was recounting her childhood and then the experiences she was going through in hiding. she had many mixed feelings and hopes for the future, as she tells them, and at times there are funny parts in the book. she was several years ahead of her time and very perceptive and was able to express her thoughts very well. after checking the book out from the library I then had to find this definative edition for my own. if you are a sentimental type, and appreciate truly down to earth reading, annes pen as well, in some parts of the book was actually poetic as well. this is a collectors edition.

great book
Got it used and looks almost new, the only one thing that reveals it is used is its smell, it smells like an old book, which I love!!!

Anne Frank
A wonderful book for young adults and adults......filled with information on how the people lived and made it thru this terrible time. Especially the young Anne Frank what courage she had.
