You might find a more responsive audience at www.half.com, where you can always sell used books for about half of what you paid for them, new OR used. Ca Carl, he’s going for a targetted audience of not necessarily general book buyers, but those with an interest in the material in the book. That’ll attract those who wouldn’t necessarily buy a book to begin with. Drama Queen OK, but you’ll pardon me if I see only the slightest difference between peddling a book here in a newsgroup, peddling an acting class, and peddling one’s services as a "manager". I’m not accusing Ken of anything along the lines of fraud, but what I am concerned about is turning a newsgroup into a flea market. Carl

Good point Carl. When I first saw his original post it was posted on a list server prior to being here, and I was momentarily offended by seeing it there. Maybe if he started a discussion thread of Goldman, then slipped his offer in between the discussion it wouldn’t have stuck out so much or been so offensive, despite it’s relevance to the group.

Thanks.  I’ll remember that web site when I part with other books in the future. Posting them like this has always worked well for me, though.  I sold the two books in two minutes. Yep, you read that right.  Two minutes. And, there have been 22 responses today alone. Best, Kenneth.

Hello all you actors/directors/screenwriters/filmmakers Out There. I usually don’t keep books long (once you’ve read them, you’ve read them), and I just finished William Goldman’s two new books. So, I’m selling them cheap. First come, first served.  Preference will be given to any one who wants to buy them both (so that I only have to make one trip to the post office). Buyer pays postage (if you’re in the US, it’ll probably be about $3.00 per book). Do not e-mail to this list or group. I only have one copy of each book. BOOK #1 "Which Lie Did I Tell?  –  More Adventures In The Screen Trade" by William Goldman copyright 2000 That’s right.  You read it right.  This is Goldman’s sequel to his marvelous "Adventures In The Screen Trade".  If you haven’t read that one, then shame on you.  It’s a staple for filmmakers of all sorts–literally one of the best books I’ve read on this topic. This sequel, like the original, is a very large book containing Goldman’s experiences writing "The Princess Bride", "Misery", "Maverick", "The Ghost and the Darkness", "Absolute Power", and other films. A second section gives us Goldman’s takes on "There’s Something About Mary", "When Harry Met Sally", "North by Northwest", "The Seventh Seal", "Chinatown", "Fargo", and Goldman’s own "Butch Cassidy And The Sundance Kid". The last half of the book is interesting for writers in that Goldman lets you into his brain, showing you how he writes (the man has won two Academy Awards).  He tackles story ideas, discussing how they can be made into movies.  In the last quarter, we get an original screenplay Goldman wrote for the book with discussion by some of today’s top screenwriters:  Peter and Bobby Farrelly, Scott Frank, Tony Gilroy, Callie Khouri, and John Patrick Shanley. What I liked best were the little interludes between the chapters where Goldman spouts off on different topics.  I was always curious about his involvement with "Good Will Hunting".  Now, I’ve read it from the source. Cover Price:  $26.95 My Price:  $10.00 Book is in "off the shelf" new condition.  I read through it once.  It’s hardback.  No dog-eared pages or marks.  Dust jacket is immaculate. BOOK #2 "The Big Picture  –  Who Killed Hollywood? and Other Essays" by William Goldman copyright 2000 This book is a collection of essays that Goldman wrote for various magazines over a ten year period.  He comments on just about every notable movie made between 1990 and 2000. There are 35 essays in all, and I’m not really sure why this wasn’t included in the book above.  It’s written in the same, casual, talkative style of "Adventures In The Screen Trade". It’s a nice companion–an epilogue, if you will–to "Which Lie Did I Tell".  I think the most interesting article, for me, is the one titled "Bikini Shopping With Elizabeth Hurley". Cover Price:  $23.95 My Price:  $10.00 Book is in "off the shelf" new condition.  I read through it once.  It’s hardback.  No dog-eared pages or marks.  Dust jacket is immaculate. Who is William Goldman? I realize that some of you may not know.  He’s a two time Oscar winner for his screenplays "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" and "All the President’s Men". Through his several decade career, he’s written (besides those two): "Absolute Power", "The Ghost and the Darkness", "The Chamber", "Maverick", "Misery", "The Princess Bride", "Heat", "Mr. Horn", "Magic", "A Bridge Too Far", "Marathon Man", "The Stepford Wives", "The Great Waldo Pepper", and four other screenplays, sixteen novels, seven non-fiction books (not counting these two new ones), two plays, and one book for children. Everybody that is serious about movie making (I’m guessing) has read "Adventures In The Screen Trade".  If you don’t know about that one, it won’t be hard to find someone who does.
