Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. GOLD MEDAL WINNER: Readers' Favorite Book Awards 2017: Best Fiction AudiobookWINNER: 11th Annual National Indie Excellence Awards - Movies & TV CategoryAmazon #1 Bestseller (Kindle)What if Stanley Kubrick left behind more than just his classic films? What if he also left behind an elaborate puzzle cleverly buried within his films, which would lead the player toward a treasure that could change the course of human history?A thrilling page-turner, thrilled with mystery and puzzles designed by a cinematic genius. Jennifer Bosworth, Author of Struck and The Killing JarFifteen years after his death in March 1999, it appears Stanley Kubrick arranged a hand-selected announcement that his films are far more than they appear to be. As UCLA's resident Kubrick expert, Professor Mascaro was one recipient of Kubrick's package.Inside is a reproduction of the famous photo Kubrick took for the cover of Look Magazine following the death of FDR. The image to the right has become emblazoned in the American zeitgeist. On the back of the photo is a message written by Kubrick that reads: Follow me to Q's identity. Mascaro is stumped and asks Shawn Hagan, his brilliant but socially awkward film student, what he thinks that might mean.And so begins a wild adventure. By the end, Kubrick will have proven his genius to be unmatched, when the game takes the player far beyond the boundaries of reality and sends him into the darkest realms of the human mind in order to make it to the final stage. This climactic set piece is surely the most difficult and diabolical puzzle ever created by man.Shawn will have to face his own demons and reconnect with those who care about him in order to receive the great treasure that is Kubrick's final legacy and gift to humanity.Like Kubrick's films, this book dazzles. A fascinating mind-bender that any movie fan will geek out for.

Hardback. Zustand: Good. From the founder and CEO Kent Taylor, the incredible long-shot success story of Texas Roadhouse, where crazy works. In Long Shot, the late business maverick Kent Taylor tells the legendary story of Texas Roadhouse and, in the process, reveals its recipe for success: embracing unorthodox--some might say crazy--business practices. Because isn't it a little crazy for a company to do almost no advertising? Is it lunacy to give away free peanuts and rolls and keep prices low, even as costs rise, or to keep the menu basically the same since it opened? Does it fly in the face of reason to prohibit coats and ties at headquarters and to have a CEO who dressed like he was part of the landscaping crew? These business practices might be unconventional, but for Kent and Texas Roadhouse, they worked. What Kent and his Roadies cooked up is an island of misfits who are cool with being different. They're crazy about having fun, but serious about following meticulous recipes to serve up hand-cut steaks, fall-off-the-bone ribs, made-from-scratch sides, ice-cold beer, and irresistible fresh-baked bread. It's Legendary Food, Legendary Service, the Texas Roadhouse way. The year 2020 was set to be one of the best in the company's history. When Covid-19 hit, everything changed except Kent's principles. To keep paying people, Kent donated his entire 2020 salary and bonus to frontline employees. While casual dining restaurants overall saw a 60 percent drop in traffic during the pandemic, Texas Roadhouse was back in the black a few weeks after shutdown. To understand how this company became a staple of American dining and survived a once-in-a-lifetime pandemic, Kent takes a trip back in time to offer the lessons learned from his pathbreaking life, revealing how a distracted kid from Louisville, Kentucky, created anything worthwhile at all. You'll see how it was a long shot. …
