Cartainly looks intersting, has anybody seen or read it? Cheers Dave    Posted:   Dec 15, 2012 - 7:00 AM     By:   vinylscrubber   (Member) Thanks for the heads-up, Dave. Unfortunately, the Amazon page on the book lists it as "not currently available."    Posted:   Dec 15, 2012 - 7:03 AM     By:   Mark Ford   (Member) I have never heard of this Dave until now. Thanks for posting about it here. I think I'll have to download it to my Kindel once it's available and give it a read.    Posted:   Dec 15, 2012 - 8:29 AM     By:   KonstantinosZ   (Member) Thank you! That seams really interesting. What does Kindle Edition mean?    Posted:   Dec 15, 2012 - 9:10 AM     By:   Louis Latzer   (Member) An Amazon Kindle edition is an e-book in their own format created for use on the Kindle e-book readers. Generally these work quite well, but you have to have that reader (or some sort of software to convert the Kindle format to a more generic one).    Posted:   Dec 15, 2012 - 9:14 AM     By:   Josh "Swashbuckler" Gizelt   (Member) Thank you! That seams really interesting. What does Kindle Edition mean? It's an e-book sold from Amazon that can be read on a Kindle e-reader or an iPad/iPod/iPhone with the Kindle app. Whoops, already answered!    Posted:   Dec 15, 2012 - 10:26 AM     By:   Jon Lewis   (Member) Wow, incredibly exciting. I hope this actually becomes purchasable soon. While checking those links, I noticed that Joe Caps' Mancini book IS available from both the Nook and Kindle stores! So that's something for me to get in the meantime.    Posted:   Dec 15, 2012 - 10:33 AM     By:   KonstantinosZ   (Member) Ok, thanks for the replies. Why on earth they release a book ONLY on a specific format which is not widespread? (or maybe I missed something and all have kindle?)    Posted:   Dec 15, 2012 - 10:34 AM     By:   James MacMillan   (Member) Wow, incredibly exciting. I hope this actually becomes purchasable soon.

JOHN Caps, you mean...    Posted:   Dec 15, 2012 - 10:49 AM     By:   Jon Lewis   (Member) Whoops.    Posted:   Dec 15, 2012 - 11:49 AM     By:   Mark Ford   (Member) Ok, thanks for the replies. Why on earth they release a book ONLY on a specific format which is not widespread? (or maybe I missed something and all have kindle?) E-books are very widespread and the way of the future (here now) whether everyone likes it or not. Taking Amazon as an example, they now sell more e-books than physical books and books are what started them in business. Whether someone prefers e-books, a physical book or both, the one thing that is great about the e-book is that it lets "boutique" and less commercially viable books make it to the market that might not be able to do so if a publisher and a print run is required. Same thing for independent musicians and bands who sell their music electronically because they could never get a contract and sales distribution with one of the big record companies, or perps even one of the smaller ones. They also tend to see more of the profits with self publication and are able to reach their small, but appreciative audience. I think this book on Goldsmith falls into this kind of category and without e-book publhsing, it would probably never make it into print and find its way to those few who would be interested in reading it.    Posted:   Dec 15, 2012 - 12:12 PM     By:   pzfan   (Member) It's probably this book (but translated from italian): http://www.filmscoremonthly.com/board/posts.cfm?forumID=1&pageID=1&threadID=78055&archive=0    Posted:   Dec 15, 2012 - 1:33 PM     By:   jfallon   (Member) Anyone have info on the book by Goldsmith's daughter? This has been rumored for awhile now but don't think it has been published.    Posted:   Dec 15, 2012 - 2:30 PM     By:   'Lenny Bruce' Marshall   (Member) who wants to PRINT OUT a copy and send it to me? bruce    Posted:   Dec 15, 2012 - 2:42 PM     By:   Mark Ford   (Member) Anyone have info on the book by Goldsmith's daughter? This has been rumored for awhile now but don't think it has been published. It's not happening, at least not according to some of the old threads about it and a lengthy post by Lukas.    Posted:   Dec 15, 2012 - 2:51 PM     By:   'Lenny Bruce' Marshall   (Member) am a bit worried that this was written by an academic (no offense Thor) brm    Posted:   Dec 15, 2012 - 8:05 PM     By:   KonstantinosZ   (Member) am a bit worried that this was written by an academic (no offense Thor) brm Well, I hope it was.. We can find general information about Goldsmith, his relationships with directors etc. etc., but in-debth musicological analyses for any film composer are only counted in the fingers of one hand. (ok maybe two hands) from the look of it, it sounds like a book addressed to the general public though..    Posted:   Dec 16, 2012 - 1:18 AM     By:   Loren   (Member) It's probably this book (but translated from italian): http://www.filmscoremonthly.com/board/posts.cfm?forumID=1&pageID=1&threadID=78055&archive=0 It IS the 2nd edition, revised and corrected. One year ago many among you wanted it, now you have it.    Posted:   Dec 16, 2012 - 1:18 AM     By:   Loren   (Member) dp    Posted:   Dec 16, 2012 - 2:22 AM     By:   Juanki   (Member) Is this book available on paper (not Kindle thing) in English language?     General Discussion: Jerry Goldsmith Book on iBooks & Kindle    < 1 2 3  > >>  Go to page:  1 2 3   First Post    General Discussion • Trading Post • Non-Film Score Discussion  Profile • Preferences • Community Rules • Help/Contact • Search Board You must log in or register to post.   Go to page:  1 2 3
