I became frustrated trying to find stories in the book when I wanted to reread them, so took the time to do...

The D-Day Photos of Robert Capa
We have only 11 hazy photos taken by Capa during the Omaha Beach assault on D-Day, when he risked his life going in with the murderous first wave. Yet Capa had used three rolls of film and exposed 106 frames. During development, photographer Hans Wild looked at the negatives wet and said that the 35mm shots, though grainy, looked "fabulous!" What happened?

Comment on The Secret Lives of Wives (Newsweek 7-12-2004 issue)
Posted on May 19, 2008
27.hewett@gmail.com, I'm glad you got something out of this article. Note that I am not the author - it's a Newsweek magazine article written by Lorraine Ali and Lisa Miller. If you mean that you like the choices of work that I post to scribd, then I'll say thanks, and hope you enjoy the selection. :) I'll check out your book.
Comment on Attack of the zombie books
Posted on August 14, 2007
WWZ is great. Hearing many of the accounts is even better than reading them. Check out the publisher's website for online samples (read by notable folks, like Alan Alda). And the "historical" accounts in the back of The Zombie Survival Guide are well worth the read. Thanks for posting the review.
Comment on Scribd FAQ
Posted on July 13, 2007
Sure could use a more comprehensive and easy to find HELP utility for scribd. This posting is a start. I'd add the following, too, which I stumbled across one day in the BROWSE/COLLECTIONS/MORE COLLECTIONS screen: "Collections are a way to organize Scribd documents to make them easier to find. You can group your own or other people's documents into a collection, or browse existing collections on this page. To add your own collection, just go to a document, scroll down to the comments, and use the drop-down box."
