Dw Classics Series
Michelle Benitone
Publishing CEU Press Classics started with the series of Central European Classics. Timothy Garton Ash, founding general editor of the series, began to note down titles recommended to him by local writers in dim cafs in Prague and Budapest in the early 1990s. His aim, to take these works of nineteenth- and early twentieth century classic fiction 'out of the ghetto,' onto the shelves of Western booksellers, and into the consciousness of Western readers has been successfully achieved.
The success of the seven books between 1993-2001 prompted the Central European University Press to bring out further classics from eastern and central Europe from 2007 onwards in the CEU Press Classics series.
The BFI Film and TV Classics ranges introduce, interpret and celebrate landmarks of world cinema and television. Each volume offers an argument for the work's 'classic' status, together with discussion of its production and reception history, its place within a genre or national cinema, an account of its technical and aesthetic importance, and in many cases, the author's personal response to the film.
Almost 30 years since its inception and with nearly 200 films addressed, the celebrated BFI Film Classics line is launching with a new look in 2020 featuring specially-commissioned cover artwork from leading illustrators, designers and photographers.
'Magnificently concentrated examples of flowing freeform critical poetry.' Uncut
'A formidable body of work collectively generating some fascinating insights into the evolution of cinema.' Times Higher Education Supplement
'The series is a landmark in film criticism.' Quarterly Review of Film and Video
'Possibly the most bountiful book series in the history of film criticism.' Jonathan Rosenbaum, Film Comment
I have the DK classics cart and Popeye. I really need to pick up Mario Bros and DK3 (even though it's not my favorite game in the world, it's still fun for a quick game.) Popeye is my favorite game of all time, and I think the NES version is the best home version thus far (short of emulators of course)
Also regarding the NES port of DK (same for the 7800, CV, and Atari 8-bit ports): the skull barrels (the ones that create the fireballs in the first level) are just the same color as the normal barrels.
In 2021 we are delighted to celebrate the 20th Anniversary of the Routledge Classics series with the publication of fifteen stellar new titles. All include new forewords or introductions and eye-catching cover designs, a hallmark of the series.
Ageless and timeless, the stories in the Great Illustrated Classics (published under our Baronet Books imprint) have been designed with illustrations on every other page. (Some refer to them as graphic novels.) Our books are used by grade school teachers, school librarians, and parents to encourage skill development in boys and girls at various reading levels. Recently, our treasury of illustrated classics has gained adoption in the homeschooling community. Homeschool teachers find our collection versatile, enjoyable, and easily integrated with tutorials and reading exercises. The reading level and lexile of each title in our series can be found in the "About This Book" section of each title you click on. At Waldman, we are committed to providing the quality that readers have come to expect and trust. Please enjoy your experience of our Web site and sign up for our emails about special offers available on our titles.
I own 2 collectors kits. If there is any way to get to CA you can go to the factory and try them all out in the show room. I did this to decide what shell options I wanted on my last kit. They offer a tour on Fridays this is when I did it.
the difference is not which sounds best, its the sound you want. for all around kind of stuff where youre playing many different genres then i would go with the collectors series. they can be tuned up, down, anything in between. the classics series are best for a vintage sound. the jazz series are best for...well...jazz. very open sounding.
Maple shells with reinforcing hoops have a longer, slower sustain ratio while birch shells without reinforcing hoops have a shorter and faster sustain. Maple produces a warmer, lower fundamental tone than birch. The outer face, or veneer, has very little influence on sound. The core plies and inner ply have the most influence and significant influence on sound, respectively.
In experimenting with different exotic woods as alternate shell making materials, DW's Custom Shell Shop discovered that in addition to the different tonal qualities inherent in every unique type of wood, slight alterations in the shell's construction can also greatly influence sound. Some of the woods sampled possessed a vertical grain pattern that when tested, dramatically lowered the pitch of the shell. Thus, VLT (Vertical Low Timbre) was born. For those players who prefer a lower overall tone while still maintaining maximum resonance and attack, VLT can be ordered as an option on all Collector's Series Maple Drums.
VLT consists of arranging the grain pattern of the plies in the shell so the outermost and innermost plies run vertically, and not the traditional horizontal. The vertical grain places less tension on the shell, allowing it to vibrate more freely, resulting in the lowered fundamental pitch.
So, what's the difference between VLT and Built-In Bottom? In a nutshell, the optional VLT feature utilizes vertical plies on the inside and outside of the shell, while Built-In Bottom only has vertical plies inside the shell. It provides a more low-end response. While optional on all Collector's Series drums, Built-In Bottom comes standard on Collector's Series bass drums and tom-toms 14" and greater.
FWIW, I've listened to the differences in standard collectors, VLT, and XLT shells side by side. When you tap on the raw shell, you can easily hear a significant difference in the depth of the fundamental pitch as you go from one to the next. If you like to tune your toms low (as I do) and still want them to resonate strongly at low pitch, then VLT are probably worth checking out. XLT would be nice for a kick drum.
I sold drums for a long time and I didn't say they are the most-expensive, I said they were over-priced for how they sound. SPAUN drums sound way better, that's my only point. The dealer, by the way, can create any sales promotion they choose.

The 20th-century marked a time when most institutions in the Western world were de-Christianized. A recognition of God, the fear of God, the Scriptures, the centrality of Christ, and almost all remnants of the Christian faith were carefully expunged from schools, children's media, and children's literature like The Swiss Family Robinson and Heidi. Others, that were too overtly Christian were simply shelved and by and large forgotten (examples: The Pilgrim's Progress and The Holy War by John Bunyan).
But there are still Christian families and churches living in the English-speaking world and they still want to read good Christian books. For the Generations team, we see this as the time to re-Christianize our literature, our school curriculum, and our media for our children.
To that end, we have re-published original classics with the original Christian content ' the content that was stripped from 20th-century publication, as well as some of the 'forgotten' Christian classics from the past. We're calling it The Timeless Christian Classics Series.
