If you liked the 1995 Pride and Prejudice, this is for you

Advantages: Plenty of illustrations, outlines filming from start to finish
Disadvantages: Written to interest a fairly specific audience

...is going to be in the strictest terms (I'm so much of a die-hard fan of this miniseries that part of the reason I bought the DVD was that I'd virtually played my double video to the point of no return) but I'll do my best. This book must have been published quite soon after the 1995 miniseries - I date my books and my copy has March 1996 written on the inside - so I'm not sure if it's still in print. It was about £9.99 when new and a paperback, so ...
...BBC copywrite issues or simply the fact that the miniseries was five hours long, I don't know - so please don't expect this feature if you're buying the book, it's just not there. The content is divided into an "in the beginning" type of introduction explaining the genesis of the miniseries and then chapters on location, music and dancing, costume, interior design, casting, the filming experience, post-production and even a fairly lengthy interview ...

Elegant and Enigmatic

Advantages: Beautiful photos, revealing, informative, sensitive
Disadvantages: None

...1960s. One of these is Audrey Hepburn, who I loved when I watched My Fair Lady on TV as a child. I was looking for a biography to buy about her, so looked through Amazon and Ebay for something suitable, as I wanted to learn more about her life. When I saw the front cover of this book, I knew I had to buy it. The picture is stunning – a young Audrey with short hair and a pink blouse, looking back towards the camera. Then I saw it was written by her ...
...bought Audrey Hepburn, An Elegant Spirit by Sean Hepburn Ferrer from Ebay for £5.99 (£9.49 with postage), but it is also available from Amazon for £9.12. Sean has also written a second book on his mother called The Audrey Hepburn Treasures, which I hope to buy soon. I read An Elegant Spirit and loved it. It is such a warm account of Audrey’s life and the memories her son shares really do give an insight into her as a person – and as a mother. While ...

Trinity Blood: Go get that vamp, Crusnik-san!

Advantages: Great storyline and world, as well as alright artwork.
Disadvantages: Gets quite bloody in the fight scenes, some of the artwork isn't good.

...of the anime episodes of Trinity Blood and read some of the manga, I decided to read the book which inspired all of this since friends and reviewers from other websites were praising it. I picked it up the first volume from my almost-local library and began to read, already interested in the artwork used in the character introduction page (basically ink drawings of them with a sentence written about the character). The story revolves around the ...
...From the Empire and Sword Dancer. A great story to read, especially if you are a manga or Trinity Blood fan. I enjoyed most of the artwork and all of the story when I read it completely. This book series is something I would most definitely continue to read. ...
