Tons of great questions!.......2007-01-10
My company hosts game-show-style trivia parties and this book was very useful as a resource.
Customer Reviews:
Entertaining.......2003-06-10
This book contains hundreds of useless and fun trivia questions about the older (and some of they newer) Disney characters, films, shorts and attractions. From `Can you name Daisy Duck's three nieces' to `What was Mickey's Starland originally called when it opened in 1988', this book has enough easy trivia mixed within the very picky, unusual facts to keep any type of Disney fan entertained.
The book is also organised very well, with the index listing the character's name, the movie or the attraction. So, want to find questions on Peter Pan? Check out page 57. How about Walt Disney? Page 171 for you!
And of course trivia books are always interactive - one game I played with my little ones was to ask them the questions for a particular movie and then watch that movie so they could find the answers they missed.
Great fun for the family!
A Fun and Funny Book!.......2000-03-27

Great Fun.......2002-10-02
This quiz book has a total of 12 complete Jeopardy games, complete with Final Jeopardy questions. As in the television show, topics are all over the board (pun intended), including things like "John Cusack Movies," "Crustaceans," "Boo!" (in which each answer contains the letters b-o-o). Each topic has five answers with space to write the question, and the correct question is on the back of the page, so there's no having to flip back to an index or anything like that.
While there may be better ways to prepare yourself for Jeopardy competition (reading reference books and atlases comes to mind), this is a wonderful entertainment and a great way to pass time while on the phone, in the doctor's office, or just before bed.
What is ... quizzical.......2001-07-03
This book has plenty of quizzes which I call quizzicals and tests, which I call ... tests. It is like the TV show, only without that annoying host. Thumbs up from me, eh.
Book Description
The Magnificent Music Trivia Book is a thoroughly researched, Internet-tested collection of trivia games about the songs of the 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, and 90s. The questions are entertaining and thought-provoking, and they focus on the lyrics that we all remember (or think we remember) from our favorite songs. Every question shows the percentage of correct answers from the people who originally played these games on the Internet.

One of the best rock trivia books I have ever read!.......2006-08-03
Boy, was this book a great find! I was very pleased with this new book from former Monkee Micky Dolenz. After flipping through just the first few pages, I was delighted to discover the range of questions and the interesting answers included. Micky has done a great job of capturing everything about rock music that has made it so much fun over the years.
The game layout in the book is both useful and clever. It allows the reader to only see any given question at one time while each successive answer is on the following page. There's a "How to Play the Games" section in the front of the book that explains game format very well - once I was done reading it, playing the games was a snap.
There's also more in this book besides trivia questions. Micky tells classic stories about meeting The Beatles and gives a poignant remembrance of his friend, singer/songwriter Harry Nilsson, that alone is worth the price of the book.
As a big-time Monkees fan, I was pleasantly surprised to find this book in the 40th Anniversary year of The Monkees. Micky's still one of the greatest, and this is probably one of the best rock trivia books I've ever read. If you like rock 'n roll trivia, you will be SO happy that you bought this book!
I'm A Believer.......2006-05-31
I recently acquired a copy of Monkee Micky's Rock and Rollin' trivia book. When I picked it up, I figured it'd be mostly about the Monkees and such, but no.... Micky's done his homework and is putting us through our pop culture paces over a period of four decades. I own 1000+ CDs and I did NOT know that Paul McCartney is the guy saying "Quite rightly" during Donovan's Mellow Yellow. :) This book is a blast, and will often send you scurrying back to your CD player, if not your old turntable, to check it all out.
I highly recommend it to my fellow baby boomers, as well as to our offspring who find earlier rock and roll music to be history of interest.

As rare as a Mackinac peach.......2004-01-04
This trivia book on "Seinfeld's" first four seasons is a lot of fun, but don't count on an updated edition anytime soon: Castle Rock Entertainment, which produced "Seinfeld," put the kibosh on the book five years ago when they won a copyright infringement lawsuit against the publsher.
All unsold copies were ordered destroyed, which is why "The Seinfeld Aptitude Test" now commands almost 10 times its original selling price.
Great Trivia!.......2002-04-09
After my husband and I used the "SAT" to quiz each other about the show, we put it in our guest bathroom. Needless to say, many of our friends have enjoyed the book, as well. I wish Beth Golub would write a follow-up, since this book was published before the show ended.
Great trivia book to have at your parties........1999-01-18
This book has great trivia for your party games. I have used it at home and at work. I only wish there was an updated version with trivia past the 1994 episodes. For example, one of the questions asks "what is Kramer's first name"? The book's answer is "unknown", but we all know it is "Cosmo".
Customer Reviews:
A Mixed Bag but still a Fun Read.......2005-03-22
The title is a misnomer - Movie Game Book: A Serious Book of Film Trivia. Yes there is a single trivia question listed every other page in the border and yes every 10 pages or so there are two pages which test your film knowledge via question and answer. But the other 8 page of each 10 are two page outlines of various film related subjects and themes - everything from important directors, to influential ideas (e.g. McCarthyism) to specific film studios.
So, as the bulk of the film is a film studies outline - if you have an interest in short but interesting capsules - I would recommend it. Particularly if you don't have a Hollywood-centric view of films. World films, directors and studios are significantly covered and one of the more enjoyable aspect of the book.
Some of the language is less than polished as it was obviously transcribed from a French edition. They could also do with a bit of proof checking. For example, on the subject of film blockbusters they list Gone with the Wind with 11 Oscars when it won 8 Oscars and another two wins were plaques - the math still falling short of 11. Yet on the next page they mention that Titanic with 11 Oscars beat Gone With The Wind's total. The writers/editors also do too much editorializing. It's fine to have a home country bent but when you are on the topic of film "Blockbusters" and you write "From The Bridge on the River Kwai (David Lean, 1957) to The Day After Tomorrow (Roland Emmerich, 2004), great spectacles have been Hollywood's pride and glory. A Frenchman, nevertheless, has managed to match them: Jean-Jacques-Annaud. Always energetic and spectacular, whether in an anthropomorphic saga (The Bear), a thriller set in the Middle Ages adapted from Umberto Eco (The Name of the Rose), or in joyful pursuit of the tribe of the Ulams in Quest for Fire." Point being that if you are writing about true blockbusters in film history when you start discussing The Name of the Rose (and spend one quarter of the two pages allotted to do it) you truly have lost perspective.
Ending on a positive note, the book is absolutely loaded with beautiful black & white and color prints of film scenes along with film posters, star photos and the like. The shots are quite beautiful and well presented on good quality paper. One only wishes the footprint of the book were slightly larger to show these terrific shots off even more.

Good Enougth to know how Exchange works........2007-03-20
Hi, this book introduced me the Exchange Server 2003 and was very helpful in my understandable of the software itself.
I've read the comments people posted here about this title and found them misplaced.
The book is very good and covers an wide area of Exchange 2003 administration. It also explains how the software works and gives you a lot of hints about implementing security in your environment.
I didn't rate this 5 stars because it's not SO EASY to find information you that you need for now inside the package. Sometimes you endeavour ours searching chapter by chapter, until find what you want.
If people rated this so poorly and rated Exchange Server 2003 Resource Kit so richly, I believe the last one to be the best book about exchange ever.
I hope to help customers who are intended to buy these books, cause I appreciate these kind of constructive analyse.
Decent Introduction to Exchange.......2004-10-23
As an MCSE, I gave this book 4 stars for two reasons: the CD contains a 120 day trial version of Exchange 2003 Enterprise Edition, and the text provides a good overview of Exchange 2003 features suitable for MCSE test prep. I did not rate this book with 5 stars because it is presented as an "Administrator's Companion," which I felt was stretching it a bit. As a previous reviewer has stated, there are better alternatives for strictly "desk reference companions" to Exchange; however, I was pleasantly surprised by how readable the book was, given that it is a Microsoft Press publication.
For example, on page 9, the authors define policies thus: "Policies are collections of configuration settings that are applied to one or more Exchange configuration objects." The authors continue to define various policies in pretty basic terms. On page 268, the authors describe how to create a policy using step by step directions: "To create a server policy, right click the Systems Policy container, point to New, and then choose Server Policy." The instructions are also accompanied by extensive screen shots. While other reviewers found the screen shots redundant to the narrative, I feel comforted by the screen shots that match my screen when I am attempting to implement a procedure by following the text.
The book begins with an introductory chapter that provides a good review of the uses and concepts of Exchange, but is probably a waste of time for experienced users of Exchange. The following chapters include detailed instructions relevant to: planning, deployment, upgrading and migrating to 2003, functionality, security, maintenance (including disaster recovery and troubleshooting), and a fairly decent glossary. The authors also invite commentary and suggestions to their email sites: benglish@networknowledge.com and books@walterglenn.com. Both authors are MCSE and MCT certified.
I would recommend this book for those new to Exchange or preparing for the Exchange Server exam. Administrators looking for a thorough desk reference on the subject should try Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 24seven, ISBN: 0782142508.
Waste of time for an Exchange Administrator.......2004-10-09
If you are an Exchange Administrator who wants to upgrade his support skills to Exchange 2003 this book is too basic. Case in point, Chapter 10 Monitoring Exchange Server 2003. "... Windows Server 2003 records many events in its own event logs."... "Windows maintains three distinct logs" (Application, Security, and System) "You will encounter five types of events in the three logs, and a unique icon identifies each event type so that you can easily disntiguish between the information entries and the error entries"
Aften times you find the author explaining the screen print of a properties page that is right below the text you are reading. News flash we see the picture, don't tell us what tabs there are and what buttons there are, tell us what they do, and when should we use them.
The font is nice and big, and the book makes a good book end for other more useful texts.
This book has many faults.......2004-03-04
After reading this book to find some information with Active Directory Connectors, I found errors that the author should have known better. For example, the book states that the Exchange ADC can only be installed on a Windows 2003 Domain Controller.... this is completely false.
It also mentions to change the LDAP port if you are running Exchange 5.5 on a Windows 2003 Domain Controller... according to Microsoft, Exchange 5.5 can not be installed on Windows 2003, much less a DC.
I could write a more accurate book than this.
Find a better book that gives more accurate information.
There are better to be found.......2004-03-01
I thought this book was pretty average. I know its not an exam prep book, and it certainly wasn't, but I didn't think it was much of an administrators guide either.
I found myself getting contually frustrated with the theory, and not enough practice. Buy Unleashed, or go to winstructor.com and get their videos, both are much, much better than this.
