Paperback. Zustand: Good. The First Time I Got Paid for It is a one-of-a-kind collection of essays by more than fifty leading film and television writers, with a foreword by screenwriting legend William Goldman. Linked by the theme of a writer's first time-usually the first time he got paid for his work, but sometimes veering off into other, more unconventional, first times-these always entertaining (and sometimes hilarious) pieces share what it takes to succeed, what it takes to write well, and other aspects of maintaining creativity and integrity while striving for a career in Hollywood. Richard LaGravanese (The Fisher King, The Horse Whisperer, Living Out Loud) confesses that his first paid writing job was crafting phone-sex scripts. Nicholas Kazan (Reversal of Fortune, Matilda) explains why, in Hollywood, an oral yes often turns out to be a written no. Peter Casey writes about the unparalleled pitch meeting for the award-winning series Frasier. Virtually every big-name writer in Hollywood has contributed to this collection, making it essential research material for anyone trying to make it in the entertainment industry, and a perfect read for movie and television buffs everywhere.…

Hardback. Zustand: Fair. Woodrow Wilson White, junior senator from Vermont, is running behind in his bid for re-election, but Woody has a bigger problem. It's not just two threatened investigations by the Ethics Committee or his wife's affair with a female ice-skater. It's not that his illegal-immigrant cook has kidnapped the family daschshund, nor is it his son's arrest for drug trafficking. And it's not even threats of a lawsuit by Senator Trent Lott because Woody hit Trent's Ford Explorer in the Senate parking garage. Woody's biggest problem, for a man with a reputation of having a 'zipper problem', is that he suddenly finds himself impotent. Up for re-election, Woody understands the political dictum that no man can be elected if his voters suspect he is hormonally challenged and in this, the age of viagra, Woody's search for a solution leads him into more trouble than he bargained for. What follows is a wonderfully drawn portrait of politics, power, and spin control. At its heart is one of the most memorable comic heroes to come along in years, a highly lovable rogue who will stop at nothing to put the wood back in Woody.…
