Impressive customer service !.......2005-03-16
I e-mailed the publisher to ask for an update of a celebrity address. He was fast with an answer. He also mentioned he has started a new service to autograph collectors. He will answer any question on the subject of autoghaph collecting for FREE!
I will use the e-mail address for finding out autograph prices, how and where to buy and sell autographs plus anything else I can think of. A great offer!
Here's The List of Celebrity Autographs.......2005-02-10
I have known David Moore for many years and he is the only author of celebrity directories that uses and updates his address list on daily basis. For me, here is a list of celebrities who I have contacted and received autographs through the mail. They are: Sarah Jessica Parker, Bill Gates, Roy Clark, Gillian Anderson, Nicholas Cage, Bill Cosby, James Garner, Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, Gary Trudeau, Olivia Newton-John, Brandi Chastain, James Watson, Sandra Day O'Connor, Harmon Killebrew, George Bush, Betty Ford, Jimmy Carter, Leann Rhimes, Muhammad Ali, Angela Landsbury, Reba McEntire, Jay Leno, Faith Hill, Tommy John, Tom Hanks, Michael Eisner, Nolan Ryan, Tony Bennet, Colin Powell, Robert Duvall, John Mellencamp, Whoopi Goldberg and many others. If you want excellent results and great customer service, I highly recommend David Moore's book.
This Author is an Expert.......2005-01-14
After I purchased this book I contacted the author, Mr. Moore to ask him about collecting autographs by index cards or by photographs. He was prompt and very informative with his reply. If you want questions answered about auotgraph collecting, get in touch with him, you will be happy you did.
Amazing book.......2005-01-11
The reader and reviewer who wrote this book is the ULTIMATE has it right. This book is everything an autograph collector needs. Besides the thousands of celebrity addresses, this book backs up the names with celebrity facts. If you want a complete history of actors it is there under the website named in the book, if you want other facts to write to the celebrity about it is there. (the book has celebrity hobbies, celebrity charities, celebrity birthdays, celebrity hangouts and a lot of useful facts about celebrities)This is the only celebrity directory I will ever need. The price of this book is well worth it!!
A Huge List of Celebrity Addresses.......1999-11-20
I am an autograph collector and I was happy to see how complete this book is. I collect astronauts who have walked on the moon, hi-tech business people such as Bill Gates, movie actors like Tom Hanks and baseball sluggers like Sammy Sousa and Mark McGuire. They are in this books with thousands more. It is well organized and I liked the extra features of sample letters and questions & answers about autograph collecting. It is a very good reference for autograph collectors.

Customer Reviews:
I just want to correct something.......2001-12-10
Someone mentioned Caroline and Janet Munro. The late actress Janet Munro is not actress Caroline Munro's mother. This bit of misinformation has been around for decades and Caroline Munro has been refuting it for years. They are not related. Just ask her.
This Disappointing Compilation Underdelivers.......2000-12-30
I really was looking forward to this book. On the positive side, the author did do a lot of research into the pre-1950 glamour pin-ups of which most of us today are not familiar. On the negative side, the artwork is entirely disappointing - small black & white images do not capture glamour very well. In addition, he puts too many models in the book with insufficient detail to each. Rather than doing a sad overview of the top 1,000 - he should have done a nice portrayal of the top 500. As it was, he was getting pretty desperate to get to 1,000. Elvira (the horror film commedienne), Nichelle Nichols (Star Trek's Lt. Uhuru)and Lily Munster are all fine actresses/characters - but glamourous - not at all. Finally, amazingly, he left out some modern superstars like Emme. Save your money and avoid this one.
What part of "glamour" confused you, Steve?.......2000-10-31
For those of you who like to skim, here's the short review: cheesy, self-promoting "nudie" stars mixed with actresses we've all heard too much about. "Glamour" has nothing to do with it, only a woman's breast size (every bio includes a woman's measurements).
And for those looking for, as cheese-ball Steve would put it, "mammarian satisfaction", look somewhere else: the pictures here are terrible, small and silly. Any other review that says otherwise was probably written by a friend of the publisher. Look for better information on many websites.
For those of you, like me, who picked up this book thinking you would actually learn something about glamour girls (maybe get some movie recommendations)--wow, no chance. Here's the world according to Steve: Audrey Hepburn gets this rating: 96. He comments: "[she substituted] a delicacy masking inner strength in place of sex appeal". What a wonderfully backhanded comment. Kitten Natividad, on the other hand, has a ranking higher-than-Audrey ranking of 62 (as does other classless, un-glamour girls like Heather Locklear and Pam Anderson(!)). His comments on Kitten: "The essential quality that endears [her] is not her seductive face or epic-scaled breasts; it is her utter joy in performing." Um, yeah, *that's* what you're selling.
The writing is hackneyed, and the constant references to his other books weigh the whole effort with the smell of despiration. I'm not even going to sell this book or give it away--it goes right in the trash.
Poor Judgement.......2000-09-26
While some of the negative reviews are too extreme, I agree that "Glamour Girls" is a deeply flawed effort. First, the "GGs" should have been listed alphabetically or chronologically. The arbitrary descending-order approach is SO wrong-headed. How can the fabulous Diana Rigg be as low as #69? And the delectable Diana Dors is #70! Absurd! Second, Steve Sullivan should have focused on those women who are genuine personifications of glamour. I have nothing against Nichelle Nichols, but glamorous she ain't. Also, how can Mr. Sullivan include Caroline Munro, while neglecting her truly bewitching mother, Janet Munro? And I share the dismay of a previous reviewer at the inclusion of Madonna: ugh! Mr. Sullivan's worst offense in this regard is including a seemingly endless (and tedious) supply of Playboy centerfolds and, worse, porn actresses. Talk about a total suspension of judgement! Third, there are NOT some 1,000 glamour girls -- a little discrimination, a little taste. Magnificent mammaries do not a glamour girl make. Sure, Jayne Mansfield had them (boy, did she have them!), but she had much else besides. Fourth, I'm disappointed in Mr. Sullivan's indifferent research. For example, he mentions that Inger Stevens (#258) "played Robert Morse's sexy wife in the hit 'A Guide for the Married Man' (1967)." No, she didn't -- she played Walter Matthau's wife.
Despite all my carping, this isn't a bad book. The problem is that it was such a damned good idea so abominably handled, and that makes it appear so much worse than it is.
very good book.......2000-08-07
Given its subject matter, there really should be a photo for every entry. Also the picture in the color section labeled "Heather Thomas" is clearly "Donna Dixon". Hopefully this is the only mislabeled photo in an otherwise very good book.

The Book of the Sword: With 293 Illustrations
ASIN: 0313278962 |
Book Description
From the gruff, sword-toting swashbucklers of the Middle Ages to modern adventure epics like The Princess Bride, the aura surrounding the sword is one that is both romantic and pragmatic. Thoughts of this weapon bring to mind images of the Knights of the Round Table, Zorro, the Three Musketeers--the things daydreams are made of. Historically, the fate of the empires revolved around the sword; nations rose and fell based on the power of their swordsmen. For centuries it was the weapon of choice in settling personal disputes. Today, the art of sword fighting has been incarnated as the dynamic, chess-like sport of fencing. It has also played an important part in the history of theatre and film, and it has been part of literature for as long as there have been books. In its varied guises, the sword has for centuries figured in the world's varied cultures, myths, and politics. Yet, there has never been a comprehensive volume on the subject of the sword until the publication of this encyclopedia. For the first time, in a single volume one can locate information on the history of sword types and styles around the world; techniques of combat sword use; techniques and styles of modern sport fencing; names and descriptions of various fencing implements and weapon types; swashbuckler films and the fencing masters who influenced the genre; significant individuals who have taught sword use; the sword at the Olympics; the literature in which the rapier, foil, or broadsword has figured; and much, much more. Essential reading for fencing and military history enthusiasts.
Customer Reviews:
A TOP REFERENCE BOOK ON FENCING!.......2004-02-19
This book is so full of useful information, you'll be using it for both references and entertainment. It hits on so many topics, I was amazed when I purchased my copy a few years ago. I don't believe there is another book quite like it on the market today. True, it is costly, but it brings together information you'd have to locate in fifty or a hundred separate books. And it is all served up in Nick Evangelista's highly readable style.
I can't understand the negative comments about this book, and can only imagine that the reviwers are following their own personal agendas.
Nick Evangelista has done a service to both fencing and scholarship by writing "THE ENCYCLPEDIA OF THE SWORD."
I recommend this book highly.
Not exactly..........2004-01-16
What a glorious mess. Perhaps it was too ambitious an undertaking.
Whatever the reason, this book is so flawed in it's approach and information as to be, essentially, useless. Particularly at a $125 pricepoint.
Useful for SCA members.......2003-12-14
Very useful to Society for Creative Anachronism members. It will help give you background on the medieval history of sword fighting, and the associated cultural baggage. Also useful in that it has good coverage of Asian, especially Japanese, sword culture. In case you have a persona with a samurai background, say.
Granted, it does not tell you how to perform medieval sword fighting, per se. But the contextual information helps flesh out your understanding and persona.
Worth the bucks!.......2002-01-03
"The Encyclopedia of the Sword" is probably the most expensive fencing-related book on the market today, but there is no other reference volume that can touch it. It may not be as indepth on some topics as some specialty sword fighting books, but it certainly makes up for that in the amount of varied information it presents. I've seen this book in public libraries. You should have a copy for yourself. Nick Evangelista knows his stuff.
A GREAT REFERENCE BOOK!.......2001-04-06
I find myself using "The Encyclopedia of the Sword" all the time. That's probably the mark of a useful reference book, huh? The encyclopedia covers swords from all over the world, movies, art, literature, sport, history, sword fighting techniques, biographies. Sometimes it's just fun to sit down and read it. I recommend "The Encyclopedia of the Sword" to everyone.

Book Description
From exploits on the field, to machinations in the front office, to data on the cities where they play, the Encyclopedia of Major League Baseball Clubs presents the team history of each of the MLB teams. Intelligent, in-depth essays provide social and economic histories of each club that go beyond the recounting of team glories or failures year by year. Team origins, annual campaigns, and players and managers all figure into the story, but so do owners, financiers, politicians, neighborhoods and fans. Teams are also looked at as business enterprises, with special attention given to labor issues like the reserve clause and free agency, as well as stadium construction and financing. Social and political issues are covered as well, including racism and integration, ethnic makeup of fans and players, gambling, liquor sales, and Sunday play. National events, like World War I, World War II, the Great Depression and the Cold War, and their impact on the national pastime, are also brought into the picture where they are relevant. Media coverage and broadcasting rights are discussed, as is the great influence the flood of media money has had on the sport. As America's sport, baseball reflects not just our ideas and beliefs about competition, it also reflects our national and regional identities. Readers will be able to find useful information about:
Important players, managers, owners
Community relations/charity work
Business and labor issues (television income, free agency)
Race relations
Baseball/Sports economics (including stadium construction, team relocations)
Teams in local and national culture (Fenway Park, Wrigley Field as local icons, Yankees as a national team) Every essay is signed, and concludes with suggested readings and a bibliography. The work is illustrated, has a comprehensive bibliography, and is thoroughly indexed.

One of the best introductory books on sports sociology.......2000-09-23
When you try to read this book for the first time it looks like a sports dictionary. But when you get closer you see that this book covers a large part of sports culture and it gives to the reader a lot of information on the most serious critiques that have been written for sports. Inside you will find texts covering the "Protestant ethic" of sports, analysis of terms such as "videated" and articles on drugs and the IOC and also the very important works of Norbert Ellias (among others) in summary.

Book Description
When Jackie Robinson became the first African American player in major league baseball in 1947, elbowing aside the league's policies of segregation that had been inviolate for 60 years, he became a symbol of opportunity and acceptance for African American players everywhere. Robinson withstood discrimination to establish himself as a Hall of Fame player, and to lead future generations of black players into the previously all-white world of Major League Baseball. Written for students and general readers alike, this biographical encyclopedia chronicles the history of African American baseball through the life stories of the game's greatest players, the legends who played a significant role in the integration of the major league. From Negro League stars Satchel Paige and Josh Gibson, to color line shatterer Jackie Robinson, and those who followed them in the limelight, such as Hank Aaron and Willie Mays, readers will learn how the inclusion of African American players in Major League Baseball improved the sport and race relations in the United States during this critical period in history. Comprehensive biographical entries also include: BLBuck O'Neil
Judy Johnson BLBuck Leonard BLCool Papa Bell BLRoy Campanella BLLarry Doby BLMonte Irvin BLWillie McCovey BLErnie Banks BLElston Howard BLMinnie Minoso BLFrank Robinson BLBob Gibson BLCurt Flood Providing detailed accounts of each player's amazing professional achievements, this insightful reference describes how the spectacular talents of African American players elevated Major League Baseball forever. Features include a timeline of important events, numerous photographs, and a bibliography of print and electronic sources for further reading.
