Book Description
This subject will consider the issues that can arise when a financial instrument that possesses characteristics that are consistent with more than one tax classification, or that does not fit comfortably into any of the traditional categories, is held by an investor resident outside the issuer's jurisdiction (and, in particular, when the source country and the destination country classify the instrument differently). The discussion will deal not only with instruments on the borderline between debt obligations and equity securities -- preferred stock, long-term subordinated debt, debt obligations that participate in the issuer's earnings or are convertible into the issuer's shares -- but also with the more recent emergence of new financial instruments with features reminiscent of forward purchase contracts, options, and other derivatives.

x-cellent.......2007-01-17
I bought this for my husband & he is thrilled. He absolutly loves these books! It's a nice change from flimsy comics. It looks great on the bookshelf. It's also great because you can read these earlier editions without having to pay thousands.
Stan Lee and Jack Kirby finish their original X-Men run.......2003-12-04
It is really interesting to see how much the X-Men have changed over the years. True, the Avengers quickly replaced all of their major members, but nobody ever really leaves the Avengers (except the Hulk), so Thor, Iron Man, and Captain America make it back for the parties and such. But Angel, Beast and Iceman really have been long gone, and the Uncanny X-Men gave way to the All-New All-Different X-Men with Storm, Wolverine, Nightcrawler, Colossus and the rest giving the group of merry mutants an international flare. This second volume in the Marvel Masterworks series devoted to the X-Men collects issues 11-21. This means the end of Stan Lee's run as the writer of the comic book, with Roy Thomas taking over in issue #22. Jack Kirby does the layouts and/or pencils through issue #17 at which point Werner Roth moved from pencils Kirby's layouts to doing is own pencils. It was Roth who was the artist when I first started reading "The X-Men," so to me he is sort of the "original" artist for the book.
There are a trio of classic multi-part stories in this collection. The first is the two-part story #12-13, "The Origin of Professor X!" and "Where Walks the Juggernaut!" After Magneto (#10), the Juggernaut was probably the second most important supervillain in the X-Man mythology, although compared to the master of magnetism everybody is a poor second. We also have the first appearance of the Sentinels in a trilogy (#14-16), characters that would end up in some of the best X-Men stories of all time, and another encounter with Magneto (#17-18). Then you can throw into the mix the Mimic (#19), who combines all of the powers of the original X-Men (think the Super Skrull), and the flashback story of how Professor X lost his legs (#20).
Actually, I was surprised how many good stories ended up in this collection. I would have said there was a big mix of hits and misses until Jim Steranko and Neal Adams showed up to draw "The X-Men," but you cannot dismiss the major characters who are introduced during this period. The sophomore year for the students at Charles Xavier's school was pretty good. Lee left this book on the upswing.
Book Description
Before Batman, before all the other masked vigilantes to follow in his footsteps, the masked adventure known as Zorro meted out justice and aided the oppressed. Set in the early days of Spanish California these four volumes recapture the swashbuckling derring-do of the first masked vigilante: Zorro. Fans of westerns, high-romance and adventure will find their palates satiated with these volumes from some of today's greatest creators. Zorro: The Complete Alex Toth retells the swashbuckler`s incredible story by one of the most renowned and respected illustrators alive.

An unexpected pleasure.......2007-01-05
Okay, I admit I am a Batman fan, but I just picked this up on a whim at a store. The stories are richly diverse in the drawing styles and storylines, but each piece added something to the whole Dark Knight world. I have reread it since and loved the tales more with the retelling.

CORRECT contact for the Answer Key.......2003-01-16
A student's call brought the review post by Lynette Arnett, Mar 2000 to my attention. The tel # in the posting contains the # for an insurance company and although I share the name of Jenny, the phone # posted is not mine nor does it belong to anyone else here at McGraw-Hill.
I work in the New Media dept (not customer service) of MH and my manager and I thought best to post the 'correct' phone numbers so if someone does need to request an answer key for this text or any other, they might best be served. The correct number for customer service at McGraw-Hill for Students is 1-800-262-4729 and 1-800-338-3987 for instructors. Thank you!
Sight Unseen.......2000-04-20
Glad I read the reviews and learned that an answer key could berequested from the publisher. Considering the [cost of the book]...this should be included! I agree with others..what good areexercises if you've no way to check how right/wrong one's answers are?
I found the answer for the answer key.......2000-03-07
This is an excellent book, with much information. Alas, for such an in-depth workbook, it was totally aggravating not to have the answer key. Okay, all you out there, I called McGraw-Hill at 1-800-252-4729 and was then told to call a Jenny at 1-630-789-5305 (she works at McGraw-Hill) and request an answer key. She will send you one for free. Then make it known to Jenny, tactfully of course, how the answer key should have been included in order of the workbook.

Book Description

REMEMBERING PAT BOYETTE.......2005-08-05
The name Pat Boyette may not be extremely well known among today's comic book fans which makes this collection of his work from Vanguard Productions all the more special. Boyette worked in TV and film before moving into comics in the 1960's and directed, wrote, edited, even provided the narration for one of the great 1960's "b" horror movies "Dungeons of Harrow". In fact calling it a "B" movie is perhaps being too kind. Dungeons of Harrow would make most Monogram or PRC films look like "A" features. That's not to say it's bad. It's Plan B, so bad it's good. It also has one of the more chilling and unsettling scenes of 60's horror films when the Count DeSade's wife is prowling the dungeons and gets up close and personal with the captives. It's really a scream if you ever get a chance to see it. But I'm digressing, we're talking about Boyette's work in comics and specifically this Nightstand Chillers trade which collects several of Boyettes horror tales for the first time.
Pat worked for DC, Marvel, Jim Warren, but the bulk of his comic work was done on those great Charlton comics of the 60's and 70's like Ghost Manor and Ghostly Tales and The many Ghosts of Doctor Graves. This stuff is so good and vastly under appreciated. Any fans of horror comics would be in Heaven by haunting their local comic shops or conventions and buying up these great old Charlton comics which you can get for next to nothing. This volume is filled with great stories and art by Boyette, most of which I know I never read since I didn't read many Charlton comics myself back then. Some of the great stories included are:
"The Vow" in which a man living in a plague-inflicted city is offered the opportunity (and safety) of running the crematorium, which has no shortage of business. But he'll later find he perhaps made a mistake in moving into the building with his young daughter when she grows up to have an unnatural affection for the dead.
"Carrion of the Gods" is an interesting re-thinking about how the Pyramids and Great Sphinx were created, long before Stargate came along.
In "The Geek" a lonely widower befriends a curious little creature that eats live chickens. Although the creature doesn't speak he is empathetic to the loneliness of the widower and tries to find a way to soothe his grief.
The Wake of the Monster" has a demon relating his own life story and how he's influenced men over the years.
Boyette's art is typical for the period and well suited to the black & white format that's showcased in this book. In addition to these tales, J. David Spurlock of Vanguard productions conducts a lengthy and informative interview with Boyette and Marty Baumann of the Bmonster.com website has an article on the films of Pat Boyette. Sadly, Pat passed away in 2000 but he's left behind a wealth of work for his fans to cherish for many years to come and hopefully Vanguard will issue further volumes showcasing Pat's talent.

A real blast from the past!.......2002-06-20
If you grew up reading, and loving, those great old DC science fiction comics of the 50's and 60's then you'll love this book. It is a nice little sampler of such comics as Tommy Tomorrow, Captain Comet, Star Hawkins, Space Cabby, Adam Strange, Space Ranger, the Atomic Knights, plus some really good general science-fiction themed stories. If anything, the printing is brighter and sharper than the originals were when they were first published. Other than the nostalgia value, these are some very good stories and some excellent retro art work (though it was anything but retro back then.) Funny, some of this stuff is more futuristic looking than anything you see nowdays.
My only disappointment was that my all time favorite sci-fi comic story "Brain Robbers of Satellite X" wasn't included. I got over it though- unlike some reviewers who didn't get their favorites....
A Disappointment for Silver Age Fans of Adam Strange.......2002-04-16
I ordered this volume, with expectations that I was going to get a selection of the best of Adam Strange material. Apparently, unknown to the editors, Mystery in Space became uniquely sucessful due to it's long term hosting of ADAM STRANGE in the 1960s, not due to it's secondary stories and certainly not due to the few science fiction stories they reprinted from twenty years later when the magazine had virtually no circulation.
Don't get me wrong, I like the silver age secondary stories, but they don't really have much to do with Mystery in Space per se and could have occured in Strange Adventures or whatever as fillers. Adam Strange is synonymous with MiS, and it's dumb to waste a celebration of MiS on a hodgepodge of other minor stories.
NOTE to DC:
We need a "Best of Mystery in Space with Adam Strange" from the Silver Age, or better yet an "Adam Strange Archives".
A Complete collection of the Atomic Knights silver age stories would be great also, as one of the minor series which had something special to offer.
Interesting, but only in an average sort of way........2000-05-23
I find it interesting to read old comic stories of the past. Unfortunitaly many of the short sci-fi stories of the 40s, 50s, and 60s that are presented in this volume are just a little to dull for my tastes.
This collection was by no means bad, it's just that I found most of the stories collected here to be bland or semi-interesting.
Interesting for sentimental reasons would be a perfect way for me to put it.
I'll rate it 3 stars out of 5. Based on the Amazon rating system this falls below the mandatory 4 star level that makes a book a worthwile read.
Unless you have a strong need to revisit past comics of the 40s, 50s, and 60s, then I would suggest you skip this book.
DC Space stars of the past return.......2000-02-15
I truly enjoyed seeing some of the classic science fiction comics stories from DC comics past. 33 stories in just 223 pages! They did know how to get to the point back then. The stories range from the years 1946 to 1981 and include just about every DC artist, writer and character that was involved in their space comics. Space Ranger, Adam Strange, The Atomic Knights, Tommy Tomorrow, Space Cabby and even Ultra the Multi-Alien are there, as well as a number of non series stories. Mind you, you don't get a lot of any of them. I for one would like to see the Atomic Knight reprinted in it's entirety... But I will take what I can get. There are also examples of the writing and art work of Gardner Fox, Kirby, Binder, Kubert. etc. Like I said just about all of them.I found this a very entertaining bit of nostalgia.

The best of the hard sci-fi/adventure illustrators.......2003-05-31
If I could have my wish and could become any artist that I wanted to be- I'd be Alex Toth.
It came as a shock to me awhile back to finally realise that so much of the work that I admired over the years was drawn or designed by the same creative genius (Space Angel, Clutch Cargo, Space Ghost, Johnny Quest, Super Friends, The Rook, etc.)
This is a truly remarkable book that actually gets inside the head of one of the all time great animators and illustrators. Not only do you get hard to find material from limited circulation publications (from Bravo for Adventure, to The Fox, to Zorro), but you also have a great deal of unpublished material from Toth's personal sketchbooks. Not only that, but the artist writes extensive commentary about just how he concieves both characters and plots. Further, he comments on the artists that most influenced his own work and development over the years.
The introduction is written by Milton Caniff (Terry and the Pirates & Steve Canyon.)

Customer Reviews:
The best baby book!.......2000-06-14
This is such a great thing. Both of her books are my sons favorite since he was even able to see. They were the only thing that kept him occupied for a few seconds. The best thing about them is that they are accordian style so you can pull out the whole book and it seems to impress babies quite a bit! my son LOVES them! I carry them everywhere I go. This one with the animals can be kind of scary because the animals are making strange faces. I would get the Baby faces one first.
My daughter has loved this book since she was tiny!.......1999-08-19
I was given this book at a baby shower, and started showing it to my daughter when she was only a few days old. She loves it, and it never fails to bring a smile to her face. The animal faces, and the babies aping their expressions are a riot! Even as a newborn, she was fascinated by it. I would wholeheartedly recommend it.
