Just as advertised.......2006-11-02
This book is exactly what it claims to be. 10 tunes and 21 CD track (includin tuning notes). The book is a fake book with all ten tunes, with no text. The book is in three parts, first a fake book with all tunes for C-instruments, then for Bb instruments and then for Eb instruments. No lyrics.
On the CD each tune is recorded twice. The first recording (split track/melody) is with a solo instrument and typically runs like this: First with a solo-instrument playing the tune once, then one repetition of the backing without the solo instrument, so you may solo, and then the solo instrument returns for the last repetition of the melody (no improvising). It is possible to remove bass or piano by turning down volume on one of the channels, but I have had no need for it, and my stereo does not allow it. The second recording (full stereo track) is the same backing, but with no solo-instrument.
I found this a perfect companion to learning these tunes.
My main complain is: while the tempo is fine when I have learned the tune and am familiar with the chords and arpeggios, it is too fast in the inital stage until I become familiar with the tune. I solved this problem by ripping the CD and using software to reduce the tempo without altering the pitch and use a 20% slower version in the beginning. I would have preferred the first track to be slower, but those who want to use that track for practicing comping may have other preferences. The first track is also intended as a "learning tool for melody style and inflection". I'd prefer a version closer to the written melody and later use my favorite recodings for ideas about style and inflection, but that is also a matter of taste.
I use these books a lot and love them (I own vol 27 too). Excellent value for the money, highly recommended.

Book Description
Charts the rise and fall of the spin culture of the last two decades...
Every decade has its own identity, key values and needs. The 1990s were the age of spin, when the materialism of the 1980s, the desire for instant communication and soundbite democracy came together in the spin culture. This spread throughout society from business and politics even to charities and the church. Somewhere in these polished communications the message was lost.
In this fascinating and highly readable work George Pitcher tells the story of the rise and fall of the spin culture, predicting its final death in the early years of the twenty first century. He examines methods of communication as a reflection of and within the context of the values of society and the process of democracy, before drawing on his considerable experience both as the giver and receiver of spin, to examine how we can move beyond the age of spin.
- A zeitgeist work that captures the quest for meaning in the current age and a desire to progress beyond the heady days of spin culture.
- Charts the history and rationale of spin throughout society from the early days of Margaret Thatcher to the death of spin in the hands of the masters of the spin culture.
- Interspersed with the author's own diary entries as a journalist covering major events of the past twenty years
- Discusses methods of communication, how they reflect the values of the age and the relationship between business and politics
- Discusses the way ahead: how politicians, businesses and institutions can communicate with the general population in the post spin age.
- Author offers a unique perspective with insights both as the giver and receiver of spin.

William Keegan, Associate Editor, The Observer `Trust George Pitcher to stop the top spinning' Paul Routledge, Chief Political Commentator, The Daily Mirror 'An acute synthesis of experience and insight.

gamekeeper turned poacher.......2006-09-23
sadly this is not a subject that goes out of date. pitcher's analysis is clearly rooted in the time and place of his own working experience, so it helps if you've lived through those times too. the writing is crisp and entertaining, and you don't get the feeling he takes himself too seriously. i enjoyed reading this from someone who has been responsible for spin, as well as having been trying to decode it as a reporter.

The question's "What goes on at Jeopardy." Here's the answer.......1999-08-25
I've seen the show. I've played along. I've won. I've lost. But never for money.
Eisenberg's book helps me feel like I've been there. The thrill of creation. The inside stories of Alex Trebek and Merv Griffin. All the excitement of show business behind the scenes, written with clarity and plenty of fun.
Jeopardy's not what it seems. Thanks to Eisenberg for showing us the best and worst of this great TV institution.
A book that gives an inside look at the staff of Jeopardy!.......1999-07-13
This book gives a closer look at America's favorite TV quiz show, Jeopardy! The book is written by former editorial associate producer, Harry Eisenberg. He tells about the staff and what happens through the year. It tells staff members coming and going and finally ends with Harry Eisenberg leaving the show. It is not surprising that this show is so successful. The staff supports the show and makes sure that mistakes don't happen. It also talks about the show changing throughout the years. Since the book was written in 1995, the book may not be as accurate because the show as undergone many changes since.
A great book providing the inside scoop on Jeopardy.......1999-03-12
This book is a must read for true Jeopardy fans. For those of us with a fascination in the show, or for anyone who wants a glimpse behind the scenes, you should really enjoy this book. Great book!

Compact overview with lots of practical examples.......2003-12-22
After ERP, CRM, SCM etc. on the more operational levels now comprehensive approaches for integrated strategic management and operations emerge. This became popular years ago with the Balanced Scorecard. This book shows that there is much more around this topic. It gives a compact overview about the theoretical backgrounds. But, what is more important it links theory with a lot of practical examples in form of figures and real world screenshots. I think it is a very good introduction and easy to read.
It is the only book so far that I could find that gives more detailed information about SAP SEM than SAP's web pages and it adresses some critical issues of the software and concepts, too.
Nevertheless the chapter with the case studies could be enhanced in a next edition.

Customer Reviews:
Bookie has repeated this exact review for all books in this series........2006-12-16
I read Bookie's review and thought that it was a decent review, but I noticed that the review was very generic and could apply to just about any SAP application with Interview questions. I then clicked on all of Bookie's reviews and noticed that he has posted this exact same review for this entire series of Interview Questions. This means that Bookie is a schill for this author and probably works with the publisher. I am always suspect when any SAP related book receives a perfect 5 stars, because as you all know, there really is not a single book on the subject of the SAP R/3 system that even comes close to perfection due to the complex convoluted nature of SAP applications. In all cases there is no single right way to do anything in SAP and every implementation is a whole new ballgame.
Interview Books.......2006-07-27
First, and frankly the most important thing to understand about interview questions books is that they help you save time. These books help you understand what deserves your attention and further reading, and what does not. These books help you understand what you need to learn, and what you can safely ignore. As an SAP consultant you can spend several hours each week, if not every day, learning about SAP. It is a major part of being an SAP person (especially a good one), and anything that you can do to reduce the amount of time you spend simply learning is very valuable to you. When you're spending time reading and not billing at a client, it can cost you about $100 each hour. That's expensive reading time! And so why would you even think twice about the cost of a $50 book if you think it will help you learn something valuable that you can apply at your job.
Second, the SAP market is evolving. It is evolving in ways that demand SAP people understand more about the product we are working with - It's not uncommon to see requests for an "MM and SD" functional consultant these days. Also, in my consulting practice, I am focusing on SRM - but each day I am called upon to talk about MM, PP, PS, and other areas in SAP. I think that clients are less and less willing to hear, "Well that's a FICO issue - or that's an MM issue."
Finally, I use these books myself. Each time I'm asked a question that stumps me, and this happens all of the time (despite what my clients may think), I turn to my own books as a reference. A couple of weeks ago someone asked me a question about a work order in PM. As an SRM consultant, I had little exposure to work orders. So I grabbed my PM Interview Questions book, looked up work orders in the index, and the EXACT question someone asked me was answered in the PM book. So the SAP Interview Questions, Answers, and Explanations series of books help save SAP people time because they show you what is important to learn, and I believe they help greatly in cross training - and so that's what these books are all about. They will save you time, and give you more knowledge about the SAP product. And the only group of people that don't want that to happen are consultants who want to keep their skills a secret!
