  • - and other adventures in property management
    af David Blum
    128,95 kr.

    A must-read for current landlords and would-be investors of residential income property! Packed with information about the nuts and bolts of property management including real-life stories illustrating exactly what a landlord can expect when managing rental properties. Some of the stories are funny, some are sad, and some are strange - but all of the stories are 100% true. Plenty of books on the market explain the "how-to" of property management, but those books focus on the business, legal, and accounting aspects of being a landlord. Most property management books lack the human experience of being a landlord...and property management is a human experience full of surprises! After reading How to Collect Rent and other adventures in property management, you will know if you even want to pursue residential income properties as an investment. For those of you who already manage your own rentals, you will gain more knowledge on how to become more effective as a landlord. You will learn how to handle the entire cycle of being a landlord from vacancies, showing properties, handling disgruntled tenants, evictions, and more.

    "e;This is an immensely valuable book and one which is clearly designed to appeal to all musicians-not just string players...Mr. Blum has captured in great detail the little things that so often make a great teacher. I would strongly recommend this book to anyone with an interest in the Art of Interpretation."e;-Music Teacher"e;The volume belongs to an exceptional class of literature: it is to be welcomed as a significant contribution. In his Forward, Antony Hopkins in a most eloquent way makes us fully aware of our possible great loss had the subject material forming this book not been preserved for posterity...throughout the book one remains not only an absorbed reader, but very much an active participant."e;-Violoncello Society Newsletter"e;Now we have an authoritative guide to this great artist's approach to interpretation...a book which should be compulsory reading for every player, conductor and teacher."e;-Music Journal of the Incorporated Society of Musicians"e;Blum has elegantly combined precise music terminology with meticulous music examples to present lucid and revealing details of interpretation that can be quickly and easily grasped. Only superlatives apply to this book, and all serious musicians would find immense pleasure and musical profit from reading this work. Highly recommended at all levels."e;-Choice

  • - The Long Life and Turbulent Times of 60 Minutes
    af David Blum
    143,95 kr.

    An insider's view of the most successful show in the history of TV, 60 Minutes. The most popular TV show in America isn't American Idol, and it's not Survivor. Month in, month out, the most?watched program in America is 60 Minutes, drawing a staggering 25 million viewers in an average week. For its entire 34?year history, 60 Minutes was the brainchild (and personal fiefdom) of Don Hewitt, the take?no?prisoners visionary who hustled the show into being and kept it afloat with a mixture of chutzpah, tough talk, scheming, and journalistic savvy. But now that Hewitt is 80 and grudgingly considering retirement, the show's direction is increasingly up for grabs, and the transition will surely be marked by some serious fireworks. As author David Blum provides a fly?on?the?wall perspective on the show's upheavals, he'll also trace its past; although the show has aired some 5,000 pieces and has made household names of Mike Wallace, Ed Bradley, Leslie Stahl, and Morley Safer, much of the backstage story??the passionate pursuit of stories, the behind?the?scenes wrangling, and the stars' prima donnish behavior??has gone untold. With full access to the producers, stars, and executives, Blum will give readers an unprecedented view of the personalities and events that have shaped 60 Minutes ? and a new perspective on how current events become news.

    Finally back in print, Flash in the Pan is the originaland still the bestreportage on the life and death of an American restaurant, a ground level view of every phase of its life. From the early, hope filled planning stages to the last, humiliating moments, it's a tragi-comic epic of hubris and human folly. Painfully hilarious and even more painfully true. This is a welcome reissue of a restaurant classic that should be read by every culinary and food service student in America and sit comfortably next to Orwell's Down and Out on every shelf. Anthony Bourdain, author of Kitchen ConfidentialIn 1990, journalist David Blum got backstage access to the life and death of The Falls, a downtown Manhattan restaurant that captured the 1980s in all its extravagant excess. Its ownersa tanned, Brahmin barkeep and a handsome Irish firefighter from Queenspartnered with movie star pal Matt Dillon to cater to New York's most glamorous models, actors, and writers. Flash in the Pan captured in hilarious detail the quick decline and disastrous fall of The Falls, and has become a classic cautionary tale for anyone who might harbor the fantasy of opening a restaurant. David Blum is the editor of Kindle Singles, the storefront for high quality longform writing on Kindle. He was previously the editor in chief of The Village Voice and has written for New York magazine, Esquire, Vanity Fair, The New Yorker, and The New York Times Magazine. Flash in the Pan, first published in 1992, was his first book.
