Supplemental stories for Real Fans.

For those of us who follow the adventure of the virtuous knights, this is an interesting series of stories that could be called "back story". They could probably stand on their own, but make much more sense in the context of the entire fantasy series. Fast read--enjoy!

Scott has taken the best tales, assembled the names, the dates, the places and characters involved and put together this little book.  What this book most reminds me of is being in a conversation with another fan of the Dead and this other fan of the Dead actually can remember the dates and places where some pretty intense stuff happened.  It's a tale of a time gone by.  A happening that will never happen again.  A band that existed for the music, for the fans and for the good of the universe.

The lunch time reading series was not as good as the volumes. Some of the stories were reworked chapters or stories that appeared elsewhere. I would recommend this as good reading for the true fan, but not for the casual reader.

As a fan of the Law & Order series, I was intrigued by the title.  The book actually does not have much to do with the television series franchise, but the true stories inside are presented in a way that any fan of the television series will enjoy.

Included are twenty-five true stories on which episodes of Law & Order are apparently based.  These include the Liverpool murder of two-year old James Bulger by two 10-year old boys, the story of Jack Abbott, the protege of pulitzer-prize winning writer Norman Mailer, who stabbed aspiring actor Richard Adan to death over the use of a diner restroom; and the murder of Gulf War vet Anthony Riggs, killed by his wife and brother-in-law over life insurance proceeds.

Reading this book is like watching 25 short episodes of law and order, except that these ARE the true stories, with the real names.

Though I wish, like everyone else, that this book covered the series' entire run, I am having a great time reading the backstories of MST3K throughout its first 7 seasons and the contributions of so many of the actors and crew.  A great companion for fans of the show.

A blast from the past of a short story you've shared with your fans. Can't wait for the next installment of the series.

Not one of the great works of literature but a fun read to get a little of the behind the scenes stuff of my favorite Red Sox memories. Tito seems more like a contributor than an author. Theo gives almost as much Information. Not as sensational as the excerpts suggest. Tito had ups and downs but his view of the experience is positive. He remains one of the greatest baseball managers in the game. The Sox loss will be Cleveland's gain.

Really enjoyed this book... the story is not especially "sensational" but how many 10cc fans expected it to be?  We get the facts, we get the band members' opinions on the major (and sometimes minor) events in the history, and the above reviewer's complaint about unsourced quotes is probably explained by the fact that many of them were apparently taken from the writer's own interviews (see the acknowledgements page).  There could have been more said about the actual making of the records, but I wonder how interesting that would be - beyond the story of "I'm Not In Love" (which is included), what can they say?  "First Eric played his guitar, then Graham played his bass...."  I'd like to have seen more detail on the band's later post Godley-Creme years, too, although I understand why the focus is on the earlier period.  Apart from that, recommended to everyone (like me) who loves this band.

This novelle explains the birth history of two of the first/ main characters of the Laidian universe. That makes this novelle good for fans. It gives us insight about their mothers whose story was mentioned as background in the first novels - another goodie. Then it explains contract marriages and who gets which child,  something never explained in the novels that I remember. Great! And finally there is the story of the contract father and we are in the really, really, REALLY good realm of fiction for me. Sigh<grin>

There are some great stories from the vault. I like the fact that there is a write up of each story. I hope they release more "from the vault" editions. I especially like the older stories. I hope they come out with one that is collectible stories from when Archie and the gang first appeared in Pep, waaay back when!

Insights from a few people close to the band worth hearing, interwoven with previously published interviews with Geddy, Alex and Neil.  The editing /production is pretty good given the source materials used.  The candid comments from roadie/engineer were interesting wrt early club scene success, ouster of John Rutsey, and opinions of albums.
  If you have the full catalogue of albums, videos, shirts, hats, sox and books (and now even comic books), this is a good addition to the stockpile and worth the two hours watching time (my 9 year old comments "over already?  That's like half a Rush concert's duration"...  He's been to 8 shows so far).

A wealth of information & paraphernalia to make any fan proud to own.

The stories in this collection go beyond being sports stories.  They are markedly also human stories and as such merit an audience larger than that of sports fans alone.  The stories aren't limited to football, baseball, basketball, etc.  There are stories here on lesser publicized sports also..  This is a collection of good writing and therefore a good book for a general audience.

Great read - a few new details for die hard fans; a nice compilation of all the other details that we may have already read in different places.

Really liked the accompanying essays. They enhanced the stories so much. An additional feature was that there were varied versions of the tales and that added to the intrigue of the stories.

Shorty but lots of interesting back story information for the series.

As a die hard Dallas Cowboys Fan I liked this 2 Disc box set but I didn't love it. They break down every Superbowl season Dallas won into two parts: what was going on around the league during that season, and then the actual Superbowl game between Dallas and the opponent. This is a great refresher in Cowboys History however there isn't a tremendous amount of game footage from the Superbowl games and the special features aren't very good at all. I would have liked to see more actual game footage, more special interviews with the stars, players, and coaches, and also a lot of what they show they repeat throughout the whole program but nevertheless its a good addition to any fans collection.
