Perfect collection with plenty of bonus material

Besides, the material quality concerning the music itself is without question perfect. The flaws in that case was that the product took at least ten days after the deadline to arrive, and also the cardboard box came disassembled, and I thought (and even prefer it that way) that it would came with the 11 discs (6 CDs and the 5 DVDs) sealed inside of the then mounted cardboard box, protected by a plastic as usual. Also, it cost me way too much for shipping.

I've been in a bit of a reading slump lately, so I was glad to have found this collection. I'm usually a sucker for longer novels and series, but I've gotten a bit burned out on them. These stories were like palate cleansers - just the right length, and not too heavy.

Frequent Flyers has a diverse group of authors and styles, so each story, in spite of the shared theme, feels fresh. Whether you're a romance lover or just a fan of travel-themed stories, this is a perfect collection to have on your Kindle (especially if you've got a flight in your future).

It's certainly a great cure for romance burn-out!

This is an excellent collection of printed material including the whole issue of  volume 1 of "Teen Set" magazine which had a cover story on the Beach Boys. In addition their are copies of  concert programs, tons of promotional items, newspaper & other magazine articles. I am somewhat surprised that the April 11th, 1965 "Time" magazine  article on " Rock n Roll Music" featuring the Beach Boys {as well as a few other acts} on it's cover was not included-perhaps it will be in "Volume 11". The famous June 1976 "Crawdaddy" cover story on Brian Wilson is reproduced in it's entirety . The 202 page 8.5 "x 11" book is an excellent read that will trigger great memories for those who experienced the sixties addition.

Here we go!

Stephanie Brown's two years as Batgirl have been out of print almost since they ended. This collection, though not fancy (there are no real extras in either written or art material besides already released variant covers), is long deserved by my favorite Batgirl. Bryan Q. Miller knocks the story and dialogue out of the park, creating an exciting, fun story with a real sense of unity through repeated catchphrases and thematic elements woven throughout showing Stephanie's developement and relationship deepening.

Lee Garbett's incredibly appealing facial features on pencils are supplemented by Phil Noto's mysterious covers and Artgerms lovingly rendered pinup covers in the second half of this volume. Pere Perez, the unsung hero of Steph's tenure as Batgirl, also assisted in the Flood arc, with his clean, cheery but sometimes spooky renderings of the world of Steph, Babs, and Wendy.

I eagerly anticipate the concluding volume in January!

Maybe it's just that I'm a rabid Air Supply fan, but I absolutely love this collection.  I initially bought it for just one song (I Can't Believe My Eyes) after hearing it on Mannequin 2 (yeah, I know, who admits to watching that?).

When I got the disks, though, I was thrilled to find that there were other songs I didn't already have, and there's not a bad one on the entire set.  Of course, I expected this because I love all of Air Supply's songs, but it was still a nice surprise.  It also includes all the classics, so it's a great volume for an Air Supply newbie to start out with.

I was a children's librarian for 6 years, and only left that job because I relocated. When I had my daughter in July, I had a pretty good stockpile of stories, but I wanted a treasury - a collection with classics and something that we could transition from me reading to her, to us reading together, and eventually her reading independently. I was hesitant to purchase this because of the reviews regarding illustrations. I have to disagree - there are illustrations missing, but I don't think that it has removed much from the stories. There are some in here that I love and will be purchasing regular versions of solely because who doesn't want regular copies of Amelia Bedelia (especially when your daughter is named Amelia!). At any rate - this collection is beautiful and I love reading it to my daughter.

I love this collection! Vic is one of my favorite protagonists ever, so of course I wanted this book as soon as I heard of its existence. Ive read a few of the shorter stories before, but there was still plenty of new stuff for me to read, and I love having it all in one place like this. Must-have for any PsyCop fan, but I think new readers that enjoy paranormal m/m fiction would appreciate this as well.

I kept putting and removing this item into my shopping cart because of its price. Had I known just how extensive and complete the collection really is, I would not have hesitated.
What's in this collection?
* Five CDs in total, packaged in a very nice box set format
* About 100 songs from every musical ever written by Webber on three CDs.
* The fourth CD includes different versions of some of the more popular songs (sung by different artists). It also includes Madonna's rendition of "You Must Love Me" (from the movie version of Evita).
* A bonus CD (so five CDs in total) with some never released stuff (very cool)
* A 64 page booklet with plenty of color photos, and information on the musicals and the songs in the collection.
Overall, a wonderful addition to any Webber fan's collection.

Like a lot of other people have already said, there's just not enough bonus material on here. The one disc with bonus stuff is incredibly short. The Warner Bros. Marx collection that came out earlier this year offered a lot more to the fans.

Having complained about that, now I've got to rave about the movies. These are sooooo good - each one of them are comedy classics. A lot of people make jokes about Zeppo, but The Marx Brothers' movies with him were better than most of the ones without him. (Almost all of the non-Zeppo movies ended up having Zeppoish "straight man characters" anyway.)

If you're a Marx Brothers fan, you can't go wrong by getting this collection. You'll laugh a LOT at the hilarious movies. Just don't expect a whole lot of bonus materials.

Not insane! I own both of the original books which were combined to make this wonderful compilation. The copious extra material made this purchase necessary (the FT site has it for $35). I eagerly await the publication of scripts for the later records, and the releasing of discs which mix the "background" tracks upfront. Many years ago, a recording engineer friend of mine simply put two of the stereo speaker wires together (I forget which ones) to allow me to hear all the background effects and instrumentation that Stevie Wonder used in his classic recordings. After perhaps 500 listenings to each of the Flab Four's albums, I still hear new things. "Oh I discovered a secret(?) / certain(?) place right between my thighs."

This is a wonderful collection of stories! Rachel Kramer Bussel successfully brings together 69 diverse authors, all of whom have  created dynamic characters - and orgasms - in just a few quick pages. These stories are short enough to read in just a few minutes but well-crafted enough that you will immediately feel drawn into another world. As I read it, I made note of my favorite stories and then I had my partner read it and do the same. We had so much fun comparing our favorite stories and reading them to each other. It was a great way for us to talk about incorporating new things into our relationship! This is a great read for people who are looking for high quality erotica - and for those just beginning to explore the genre. Its has enough variety that it is now my top sexy book to take to a deserted island.  It absolutely has something - if not many things - exciting for everyone. I will definitely buy more to give to friends!

This collection is excellent! I find it informative and engaging, and it's full of historical references and lovely prose. The essays flow well together but aren't so similar that I get bored. They vary in length in a way that makes the book easy to pick up or put down when I'm busy or only want to read for a short while. I teach English at a university and even considered teaching an essay from this collection. Elena Passarello will be speaking as a visiting writer at our university and I've got tons of questions about her research and process. If you enjoy essayists, you'll certainly enjoy this interrogation of sound, history, and human nature. This is NOT simply a book of essays, but a book of hybrid essays which are engaging, well-grouped, and thought-provoking. I haven't quite finished this collection, but I've included it in the reading list for my master's thesis.

The book itself has a pleasing heft and a shine to the cover. The pages are thick and excellent in quality, and the inner pages touching the front and back cover are both embossed.

I was able to find this for under $5.00 and I'd have paid triple that.  What a wonderful collection. The liner notes make you feel you are/were there.  A terrific collection and a great launch pad if this is something you think you'd might like to get in to!

This is such a wonderful collection. I loved all of these books. I love how "just one year "ended, but am also so happy that Gayle wrote the novella for "just one night". This is one of my favorite collections to date. There were quite a few concepts in these books that hit such a soft spot for me. 100% worth the buy. I could not put them down. I read "Just one year" and the novella in one day.

This monster of a box set is a must have for fans of Superman and superhero films in general.  More than making up for the lackluster box set released a few years ago, this set is literally filled to the rafters with content.  If there's any fault to the set, it's that it's almost overkill.  Some of the content you'll watch one time (if at all) and never view again, and this set could have easily been wittled down to 10 discs without losing anything of relevence, but it's nice to have none-the-less.  The films themselves are great fun, the extras are exhausting, the packaging is truly stellar, and the offer for the free film posters for all five theatrical films is a nice tack-on.  Definitely a worthy purchase, just be sure to clear any plans you have for the week once it arrives!
