No Comments
Amazon.com, Wal-Mart, Target, Apple and Best Buy led online shopping sales on Black Friday, the traditional kickoff to the holiday shopping season, says research company ComScore. Despite an increase in Black Friday online sales over 2008, analysts are concerned that recession-conscious holiday shoppers continue to be reluctant to shop. Cyber Monday, on Nov. 30, will in many ways be the ultimate test of the nation’s online shopping appetite this year.
– Online spending on Black Friday, the traditional day-after-Thanksgiving beginning
of the holiday shopping season, was up 11 percent over a year ago, according to
research company ComScore. Shoppers gravitated toward Amazon.com and Apple’s

Led Zeppelin: Good Times, Bad Times A Visual Biography Of The Ultimate Band
By Jerry Prochnicky & Ralph Hulett, foreword by Anthony DeCurtis
Arrives October 1
 Led Zeppelin |
Led Zeppelin: Good Times, Bad Times, A Visual Biography of the Ultimate Band captures the public and private lives of the legendary band through rare and iconic photographs, accompanied by insightful commentary. The book arrives in the 40th anniversary year of the group’s first two albums, Led Zeppelin I and Led Zeppelin II, as well as their first four U.S. tours.
Led Zeppelin embodied the fabled rock star lifestyle of sex, drugs, and rock & roll, but much more than that, they came to define the music and culture of the 1970s. Now, four decades later, Led Zeppelin — Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, John Paul Jones and John Bonham (1948-1980) — continue to draw the fascination, admiration and awe of legions of fans, young and old.
A general overview of the band’s history leads readers into the core of the book, a collection of 200 striking photographs, more than half of which are rarely or never before published. These images offer views of the band onstage, backstage, recording in the studio, on tour and at home. From their very first performance in Denmark on September 7, 1968 (as the New Yardbirds) to their last performance in London on December 10, 2007, this volume captures Led Zeppelin in all their electric glory.
