LIMITED FIRST EDITION contains red foil gilded page edges and a black satin ribbon marker."I see many things. I see plans within plans."Following his underground hit Eraserhead and critically acclaimed The Elephant Man, visionary filmmaker David Lynch set his sights on bringing Frank Herbert's beloved sci-fi novel Dune to the screen. The project had already vexed directors such as Alejandro Jodorowsky (El Topo) and Ridley Scott (Alien). But by the early '80s Universal Pictures was prepared to give Lynch the keys to the kingdom - and the highest budget in the studio's history at the time - so that he could lend his surrealistic chops to this sprawling story of feuding space dynasties. They would also hopefully be creating a "Star Wars for adults" franchise-starter.As the hot young filmmaker commanded a cast with 42 major speaking parts as well as a crew of 1,700 (plus over 20,000 extras) on 80 sets built on 8 sound stages in Mexico, what happened next became as wild, complex, and full of intrigue as Herbert's novel itself.Film writer Max Evry goes behind the erratic ride of David Lynch's Dune like never before, with a years-in-the-making oral history culled from a lineup of new interviews with the film's stars (Kyle MacLachlan, Sean Young, Virginia Madsen, etc.), creatives, film executives, and insiders - not to mention Lynch himself.David Lynch's Dune initially left many filmgoers and reviewers scratching their heads, most dismissing the film upon its release. However, four decades and a big-budget remake later, Lynch's Dune is finally poised to find its rightful place alongside the director's other masterpieces such as Blue Velvet and Mullholland Drive.Max Evry's A Masterpiece in Disarray takes you back to 1984 with the deepest dive yet into the cult classic that is David Lynch's Dune.
Perfect for fans of Hannah Grace and The Dagger and the Flame, this scorching debut romantasy follows a young woman who makes a deal with the Devil to escape the underworld only to fall for him instead.Willow White is dead. She's annoyed about it. She was supposed to be graduating and turning into a responsible adult, not proving her family right when they called her a failure. Now, thanks to one tiny (if fatal) mishap, she's landed in a dimension named Asphodel that looks suspiciously like Hell. Determined to redeem herself, Willow makes a deal with Asphodel's ruler, the mysterious and unfairly attractive King Sath: complete seven tasks, resist the seven sins, and he'll let her return to her human existence. But when Sath is temptation itself, sin may be hard to resist... Battling demons is one thing. Battling her growing feelings for Sath is another. After discovering a demon plot to unleash the worst of their kind, putting everyone in Asphodel at risk of an eternity of torment, Willow is torn: she can complete the tasks, return to the life she was on the brink of rebuilding, and abandon the dead-and Sath-to their grim fate, or she can stay and help him stop the uprising...even if that leaves her trapped in Asphodel forever.

In A Mind for Numbers, Dr. Oakley lets us in on the secrets to learning effectively secrets that even dedicated and successful students wish they d known earlier. Contrary to popular belief, math requires creative, as well as analytical, thinking. Most people think that there s only one way to do a problem, when in actuality, there are often a number of different solutions you just need the creativity to see them. For example, there are more than three hundred different known proofs of the Pythagorean Theorem. In short, studying a problem in a laser-focused way until you reach a solution is not an effective way to learn. Rather, it involves taking the time to step away from a problem and allow the more relaxed and creative part of the brain to take over.The learning strategies in this book apply not only to math and science, but to any subject in which we struggle. We all have what it takes to excel in areas that don't seem to come naturally to us at first, and learning them does not have to be as painful as we might think.

But making minimum wage at a small-town sandwich shop wasn't exactly what I had in mind after college graduation either. It may not be an exciting life, but it isn't so bad. At least I have my amazing coworkers and friends who always try to make the workday fun.Everyone, that is, except the new guy, Simon.That guy is not fun. He's broody and silent, but I can tell that something interesting is brewing just under his surface. Day after day I try to get his attention, try to coax him out of his shell. He won't even look at me, let alone talk. It's making me a little crazy, if I'm honest.I don't even know why I care-I'm not gay. But there's just something about him that draws me in. He's become this mystery that I need to unravel.Until one night I get a small peek behind Simon's mask-a shared kiss, just a minute in time, and then it's gone.I don't even know what to think. All I know is I need more.I want all the hidden parts of him.I don't understand this obsession, this need.And I'm afraid that there isn't much I wouldn't do for just a minute more.
