In the 15th century, Wallachian warlord Vlad III (known as Vlad the Impaler and also as "Son of the Dragon or "Dracula") became an enduring legendary figure in eastern Europe.

Over the ensuing decades , "Dracula" went on to inspire numerous stage plays, movies, musicals, TV adaptations and books, making the character a permanent fixture in modern pop culture. This entertaining and informative book unearths little-known facts about the historical and literary Dracula. Here we read of ancient vampire myths from various cultures; Hamilton Dean, the man who first brought Dracula to the stage in England; publisher Horace Liveright, who first brought the vampire king to Broadway; Dracula in opera and ballet; Dracula in comics, low budget B movies and much more.…

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Is the sunburst Gibson Les Paul Standard really the greatest electric guitar ever made? This books aims to answer that question, even if so many players and collectors have already sounded a loud Yes! Famously played by Eric Clapton and Jimmy Page, this fabulous instrument, known simply as the Burst, has become a legend. Through a series of interviews with players, collectors, guitar-makers, dealers, and more, Sunburst unravels a myth and puts into sharp focus how 1,400 or so guitars produced at the end of the '50s became the most desirable electrics of all time. This guitar - a solid body electric with mahogany body, twin humbuckers, and a two-colour sunburst maple top - was first made from 1958 to 1960. The book examines those originals, the various reissues over the years, and the latest efforts by Gibson to re-create the hallowed guitars in its original factory in Kalamazoo, Michigan. Sunburst is the latest book in Tony Bacon's bestselling guitar series, with a thoroughly researched story partnered by a gallery of full-colour pictures of great guitars, rare memorabilia, and famous Burst players - from Keith Richards to Joe Bonamassa and Jeff Beck to Billy Gibbons. Its reference section reveals production details and dating clues for this most enigmatic and revered instrument.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. (Book). When large numbers of students from Spain arrived in New York in 1880, they introduced the American public to a new instrument the mandolin. Spanning more than a century, this book chronicles the national mandolin craze that swept across the nation and the evolution of the instrument in America to the present day. Eclipsing the banjo and guitar as the most popular fretted instrument in the late 19th century, the mandolin inspired the formation of the Gibson company. After World War I, the mandolin went into a long period of decline, during which it found sanctuary in rural string bands and bluegrass music. By the 1980s, a revival was underway, with adventurous players using mandolins in all types of musical settings, including symphonic, semi-classical ensembles, jazz, klezmer, Irish, choro, and all the branches emanating from bluegrass. The Mandolin in America profiles all the significant makers, including Bigsby, Epiphone, Fender, Flatiron, Giacomel, Gibson, Gilchrist, Lyon & Healy, Martin, Monteleone, National, Nugget, Vega, Vinaccia, and Washburn. Lavishly illustrated with color photos throughout, this is a must-have volume for collectors and music enthusiasts alike.

Hardcover. Condizione: New. Condizione sovraccoperta: New. New condition dark brown boards with gold spine lettering contained in a new condition non price-clipped color illustrated dust jacket. Includes Dedication; Preliminary Page Quote; Foreword by Richard Meltzer; Preface: Welcome to the Future; Prologue: Is That a Bustle in Your Hedgerow? or, Are You Just Pleased to See Me?; Epilogue: Lennon: The Final Comeback; Appendix One: The Classic Rock Manifesto: She Gets the Blokes Because She Smokes; and Appendix Two: The Top 100 Classic Rock Songs, 1968 - 1976; Acknowledgments; and Ending Page Quote. "Led Zeppelin, the Doors, Fleetwood Mac, Rush, Pink Floyd, Peter Frampton, the Beatles, the Who, Elton John (but only the good stuff), the Rolling Stones - these are the names that classic rock worships. But where are the values for which these artists fought? Where is the spirit that they once epitomized? Persuasive, incisive, and drawing blood with every keystroke. I Hate New Music is one man's crusade against everything that isn't what rock ought to be. Shamelessly retrospective and defiantly reactionary, [the book] examines the sacred cows of the past thirty years - from U2 to the White Stripes - and then slaughters them for their sins against our souls. Celebrate a time when Foreigner, Frampton, and Foghat fought for total chart dominance: when Iggy Pop's ode to smack wasn't being used to peddle cruise ship vacations; when the James Gang and Humble Pie ruled the FM airwaves; and Asia was still just a place where Led Zeppelin bootlegs of dubious quality and legality originated. Whichever side of the rock divide you fall on - if you favor Motorhead or Radiohead - veteran rock journalist Dave Thompson's highly opinionated (yet tongue firmly in cheek) manifesto is an essential read that will have you questioning why Thin Lizzy, Steve Miller, and Iron Maiden's Eddie have been grossly ignored by the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, while R.E.M. gets a free pass. Even if you don't think that Clapton is God, [the book] will have you pledging allegiance to the Kiss Army .or throwing the book down in vile disgust. I Hate New Music is an un-put-downable compendium of outrageous opinion, hilarious anecdote, wild accusation, and the occasional palpable untruth. You have been warned." - from the inner front cover. …
