Excellent!.......2007-07-12
My book arrived in the condition that the seller had posted and it arrived before the delivery estimate that I was given.
I love this textbook!.......2002-03-23
Microeconomics by McConnell and Brue is a great text book. The explanation is very clear. I especially like the way they explain the graphs and concepts. It's very easy to understand. They give very good examples in each chapter. I use it for my class and I found the reading is very enjoyable. This textbook is definitely good for people who want to do self-study of microeconomics.
This is not the textbook........2000-03-24
We thought we had ordered the textbook, Microeconomics: Principles, Problems, and Policies by McConnell and Brue. This book however is Selected Material from Microeconomics. The Table of Contents is the same as the textbook, so this is really confusing. Be sure you get what you want.

Econ Profs, Start Here First.......2001-12-01
This is one of 2 books I kept from my four years in college. It is also the book that helped me choose Economics as one of my minors. It's that good.
Gottheil's models (actually, he really only uses one model--a fishery) are almost absurdly easy to follow. Along the way he takes concepts a student would find new and difficult, and makes them into concepts a student can follow, and in my case, enjoy. I whole heartedly reccomend this title.
Principles of Microeconomics by Gottheil = SIMPLICITY.......2001-05-19
I have now had two course in economics - Principles of Micro. and Macro., both classes required the use of the priciples books by Fred Gottheil. My professor was a student of Mr. Gottheil and described his classes as clarifying. She said that he made economics easy to understand. This book by Gottheil, as his class, is also easy to comprehend. The topics are confusing to a newcomer of economics but the style and clarification used makes the principles quite simple.
Easy to Understand Economics??.......2001-05-17
You're absolutely correct!! I was a student of Prof. Gottheil the first year he released this book. The teachings of the book make Micro-Economics both easy to understand and enjoyable. I've recommended this book to both undergrads and MBA students alike, and have not received a single complaints (but have received much praise).

The ultimate workbook.......2006-05-13
This workbook gives so many incorrect answers it really makes you think. Maybe Katz is a genius and designed this workbook to make you search for the REAL "correct" answers. You have to question yourself on every answer when you check it in the back. Although it is confusing as hell for an entry level book, it requires every student to re-read the book for the correct answer to verify the answer key.
very poor -- michaelpokrass@hotmail.com.......2005-12-07
The quality of this study guide falls as one works through it. Firstly, there are a huge amount of errors (spelling, syntax, grammar, incorrect multiple choice answers, etc.) Then half way through the book the authors seem to get bored of giving thorough answers to the questions (the answers to questions in a self study work book are the defining characeristic of quality) and one is left with vague one line and incomplete answers WITHOUT DIAGRAMS. The same go for the summaries: it's as if the authors rushed the project or got bored of doing it after the half-way mark. This is extremely sloppy and a waste of money.
Book Description
Forty-five classic episodes of the most entertaining writing to have gone into television anywhere. The minister of silly walks, the dead parrot, banter in a cheese shop - here is every silly, satirical skit, every snide insult, every saucy aside.

And now for something completely different.......2007-05-07
I've seen "Monty Python's Flying Circus" so many times that I can recite long stretches of it. But those guys are always using weird accents and manic deliveries ("My neeples explode with delight!"), and sometimes they're hard to understad.
Fortunately for those times, Python fans have "The Complete Monty Python's Flying Circus: All the Words," a series from the second half of the classic comedy skit show. These are only trascripts (a bit lacking in details), but still enormous fun and full of delightfully quotable lines ("And now my lords, my ladies... your LUPINS!").
It opes with the weird "Conquistador Coffee" sketch, in which a boss berates his employee for changing the brand's name to Conquistador Instant Leprosy. ("The tingling fresh coffee that brings you exciting new cholera, mange, dropsy, the clap, hard pad, and athlete's foot." "It was a soft sell, sir.")
And then it contains plenty of others: the cheese shop with no cheese, films with giant teeth, spam spam spam, cannibal undertakers, Njorl's it's-not-that-terrible saga, the BBC's financial troubles, the Money Programme, the pantomime horse, hairdressers climbing Everest, the war against pornography, Gumbys, Dennis Moore, kamikaze highlanders, and the golden age of ballooning ("I am so excited I can hardly wash!").
The dialogue to each one is carefully outlined, with each character identified as being played by one of the guys (like "Interviewer (JOHN)"), although we usually don't get to hear much about Terry Gilliam's mad animations. Most of these episodes are one long continuing sketch that spills from one scenario to the next, but occasionally we'll have different ones patched together.
These guys had a rare, crazy talent -- these sketches are crammed with glorious dialogue ("Drop your panties, Sir William. I cannot wait till lunchtime") and bizarre insults ("you cloth-eared heap of anteater's catarrh"). Not much description of the action in places, although in a few we get plenty of detail when it's called for (such as the weirdness convention).
The problem is that this should only be read after you've seen the series. If you don't, it all seems like a befuddling string of of stream-of-consciousness comedy numbers, full of in-jokes and surreal twists. You have a better chance of finding Ilchester in a cheese shop than understanding this without seeing the skits first.
In case you couldn't understand what Eric Idle was bibbling in one episode, or John Cleese was screaming in another, "The Complete Monty Python's Flying Circus: All the Words Volume 2" will tell you what is going on. No time to lose!
Monthy Python.......2007-01-11
This item was purchased for my daughter and she absolutely loved it. It was received in good order and in a timely manner
The goat's done a bundle.......2004-01-14
FYI-This is the same as the review of Volume 1. There was no real sense in distinguishing the two.
As a fan of MPFC since it first aired on PBS in 1973, these two volumes sort of put a cap on a 30 year fascination with the team. Maybe like me, you've watched every Python-Marathon or taped every show, but having these scripts really is the icing on the cake.
What's striking to me is the simplicity of the scripts. When you watch the episodes, the gags seem so complicated. Then to see The Dead Parrot sketch reduced to just a few pages, you realize how brilliant those guys were in terms of compression, and in terms of acting. An added plus, for me at least, was to finally see the words and phrases that I never quite "got" because they were unique to British English. From there, I logged on to a few websites on British slang and, boy, I realized what MPFC got away with...some of it was pretty raunchy. Anyway, this is two-volume set is priceless for any fan.
"Ah...it was the middle one.".......2002-07-28
The Complete Monty Python's Flying Circus: All the Words, Volume 2 is the second half of a set containing the scripts of the entire series (45 episodes). This book, volume 2, contains scripts for episode 24: "How not to be seen" through episode 45: "Party Political Broadcast". This book is more fun than an endless supply of "lupins". Both volumes make great companions to the MPFC video/dvd collection ("There you go, can't be bad.") and also unlike the DVDs, there are no edits, these are the original words. So that horrible "m" word that Graham said in episode 31: "The All England Summarize Proust Competition" is in this book. Enjoy!

The companion volume to Volume I is this, Volume II.......2002-03-19
"It's satire."
"No, it isn't. This is zany madcap humour."
With that immortal exchange, nearly everything Pythonian is summed up. For those who haven't memorized every single Python skit (or for those who have and who are looking to free up some short-term memory), this book and its companion volume ("All The Words, Volume I") are must-haves. Every single word from every single bit ever done on "Monty Python's Flying Circus" is in here. It's a joy and a treasure and a non-stap laff riot.
Every Python nut is familiar with the "wink, wink, nudge, nudge" tale, the dead parrot sketch, the Ministry of Silly Walks and so on. But even beyond these justly famed classics, there is wonderfully silly stuff herein. I never realized until buying this and the companion Volume I how utterly the Python crew had mastered the gorgeously silly non-sequiter. To wit:
"Would Albert Einstein ever have hit upon the theory of relativity if he hadn't been clever?"
"Don't call me señor! I'm not a Spanish person. You must call me Mr. Biggles, or Group Captain Biggles, or Mary Biggles if I'm dressed as my wife, but never señor."
"I'm afraid we are unable to show you any more of that letter. We continue with a man with a stoat through his head."
"Were you worried when his head started to come loose?"
It just doesn't get any better than this, and being able to sit and peruse the scripts without watching the frenetic activity on the screen only goes to strengthen the generally accepted view that these guys were genius writers. As the book back states, these volumes are the winners of "the 1989 PYTHON PRIZE for their own books." ARE there higher honors than this?

If you haven't yet memorized any of Monty Python's scripts, here's your chance. It's difficult to read this book without breaking into a broken English accent -- or at least without laughing aloud. Alarm luckless pedestrians as you gesticulate wildly with an halibut, learn how to determine whether a parrot is really dead or not...
"Nudge, nudge. Snap snap. Grin, grin, wink, wink, say no more".

It's..........2007-04-26
I've seen "Monty Python's Flying Circus" so many times that I can recite long stretches of it by memory. But due to all those weird accents and manic deliveries ("GREET! GREET!"), sometimes not everything they say is totally coherent.
Fortunately for those times, Python fans have "The Complete Monty Python's Flying Circus: All the Words," a series of transcripts of every sketch they did. They're lacking in detail at times, but still enormous fun and full of delightfully quotable lines ("It's probably pining for the fjords!").
Basically, ther first volume contains the first half the series, starting with the Mozart show and ending with "Long John Silver Impersonators Vs. Gynecologists. Among the classic comedy sketches: the Spanmish Inquisition, the Ministry of Silly Walks, the lethal joke used against the Germans, semprini, the Lumberjack song, the Attila the Hun show, how to defend yourself from fresh fruit, camel-spotting, Secret Service dentists, and the invasion of tennis-playing blamcmanges from the galaxy of Andromeda.
The dialogue to each one is laid out carefully, with each character identified (like "Interviewer (JOHN)"). Most of these episodes are one long continuing sketch -- ots of sketches that spill over into each other, with bare-bones descriptions of Terry Gilliam's bizarre animations. And, of course, the opening sequences, often with the "It's" man.
These guys had a rare and hysterical writing talent -- it's full of crazy glorious dialogue ("The black death, typhus, cholera, consumption, bubonic plague..." "Ah, those were the days"). Not much description of the action in places, though, especially where there is lots of action. But when necessary, they describe everything down to clothing and tear-shedding.
The problem is that this should only be read after you've seen the series, because otherwise it becomes a bewildering blur of stream-of-consciousness comedy numbers. You have a better chance of finding Ilchester in a cheese shop than of unerstainding what the heck is going on.
The first volume of "The Complete Monty Python's Flying Circus: All the Words" is a hilarious companion book to the legendary TV series, and an excellent refresher for all those great lines. Now, alduce me to introlow myslef!
This book was a lot of fun!.......2006-09-26
I can't remember the last time I laughed myself to hysterics reading a book! I think the last time this happened was while first reading 'The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy' by Douglas Adams (actually it was one of the footnotes that did it). Anyways, this book is a collection of about half of the scripts from the Monty Python's Flying Circus television show, the others being in Volume 2. There's a lot of classic material here and I very highly recommend this book to anyone who needs a good laugh.
What the books make one realize.......2005-11-05
That Monty Python is actually very limited a franchise. These few Python book which script the entire series in it's four year run (as there was only a few eps each year) really leave one saying "Is that all the fuss is about?" Sure there were Python movies (but about half of these films were simply rehashes of the series). I never understood when Python became so big. In the late 70's they were just something I watched on a UHF station latenight. Benny Hill was really funnier than Python (even the UHF station advertised Hill that way) but he didn't become as much of a franchise. Python shouldn't of either. Really there isn't that much to it!
Great!.......2004-11-02
A great book for any Monty Python fan. Like the title said "All The Words". I got both books (1 & 2) along with the dvd set and I read along with the dvd. Also great for sketches seeing as the desribe the scene as stuff is going on.

Only the most devoted Python Fans need apply........2000-04-21
I picked up my copy (rarer U.K. release) 20 years ago when it was in regular publication. It is masterfully assembled and includes many production notes in addition to the complete script. If you can find a copy, you must get it.
A Comic Classic, With Special Insights.......2000-01-20
There's no justice in a world where this book has gone out of print. It's been rereleased at least once, but appears to be out of print as of January, 2000. This is a must-have for serious Python fans or fans of film comedy.
The book not only contains the screenplay for the film, complete with a nearly perfect (that is, nearly agreeing with the film) text, as well as the very different first draft of the text. Included are complete scenes that were cut (as in King Brian's court). There are great illustrations by Terry Gilliam as well as still photos from the set, both on camera and off.
Dig around, it's worth it!
This book is a classic. Especially for Monty Python fans.......1997-04-05
Monty Python and the Holy Grail is a old tale supposedly taking place in the days of King Arthur and the Knights of the Roundtable. After God Himself appears to Arthur(played by Graham Chapman in the movie), and his knights, they are sent on an all-out hilarious quest for the Holy Grail(the cup Jesus drank from at the last supper) In their travels, they encouter a Three-Headed knight, Sir Lancelot's dangerous idiom, a castle full of virgins, a killer rabbit, an old man(from scene 24), and Oh the horrors! Oh the humanity! the dreaded Knights who say "Nee!"(Those who encouter them rarely live to tell the tale). This is a great and funny book for all age groups. It contains alot of British humor, but anyone will enjoy it. So, I suggest not waiting, but order this great book A.S.A.P!!!

The Compiled Scripts of Monty Python - Reviewed.......2001-08-06
I read this book for the first time 4 months ago. I remembered a "skit" I had seen that I thought to be very funny. So I got a copy of the book and found the scene. I read it to some friends. At the time I didn't realise the absolute power that the book held. It went back onto my shelf for about three weeks, until one day, I was given a tape recording of the skit "Fish Licence". I remebered the skit very well and I also remember rolling around on the floor, splitting my sides with laughter. I realised what this 600 page book could really do, and so I carried it everywhere with me. I read such skits as "Dead Parrot", "The Ministry of Silly Walks" and "The Spanish Inquisition". My friends also thought of this book as "The Holy Grail"(hehe). After a while I thought to myself, "Instead of looking up different skits in the index, why not read the book from the beginning?" So I did. I read and read until I was exhausted from laughter. I sat quietly and watched "Monty Python's Life of Brian" on the TV. After about two weeks of solid reading, I completed the 600 page anthology, and it returned back to its position on my bookshelf above my desk. It was no longer nesessary to carry the book everywhere, because I had memorized all the important skits. I give this book "5 Stars", not because I think that it is "the best book in the world" (frankly I think it is better than that), but actually because I think it must be the funniest book I have ever read.
