Harryhausen: An Animated Life - For the past half century
Harryhausen has been the foremost practitioner of the craft
of stop-motion animation, the cinematic art of meticulously
moving models, frame by frame, to create an illusion of motion.
Inspired by King Kong, still the ultimate example of the technique,
at age 13, Harryhausen soon became the protege of Kong's creator,
Willis O'Brien.

to deal with the niceties of painting, facial expressions,
clothing etc. With no detail unexplored, everything is clearly
explained with step by step photos.

Trek: Deep Space Nine Technical Manual - Whether you're
looking for a cross-section of a Bajoran tricorder, plan drawings
of the USS Defiant, or a detailed explanation of station wastewater
treatment, you'll find everything you need in the Deep Space
Nine Technical Manual. This is a fascinating and useful
reference for the dedicated DS9 fan, or the Star Trek collector.
Intricately detailed, colorful illustrations show you
things like the station layout, its cargo and security systems,
crew quarters, and transportation facilities. You'll also
see DS9's position in relation to the wormhole, the Bajor-Cardassia
sector, Ferenginar, and the Romulan and Klingon empires, not
to mention the current location of Voyager and (shudder) Borg
space.

successful Ferengi to new frontiers of profit.
