It is a unique story; that of byssus; filaments produced by the largest mollusc in the Mediterranean; and Chiara Vigo; Sardinian from SantAntioco (Italy) and last Master left in the world capable of weaving it. Byssus is a precious thread which can neither be bought nor sold; worn by high-priests and kings; as the Bible tells us; since ancient times. An artistic biography that reads like a fairytale; is actually the story of a past that has remained miraculously intact.

Review
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. The Business of ScreenwritingBy CustomerLondon literary agent Julian Friedmanns book "How to Make Money Scriptwriting" focusses on the real world realities of making a career as a scriptwriter.Topics range from getting an agent (or how to get by without one) to negotiating with producers; and a helpful explanation of some of the standard agreements. There is a relatively small amount of literary theory about the need for writing to have emotional impact on audiences and so on. I also found this section helpful; because it is portrayed as being borne out by the authors actual experience rather than anything more abstract. If you are reading this review; you probably will have already had your share of literary theory so you will know what I mean.The ambit of the book is perhaps not quite as narrow as the title suggests; and I worry that its directness might put off more gentler souls. A less engaging but more accurate title might be something like "The Business of Screenwriting". That would be my only criticism; and its not much of one.Invest in your screenwriting career by purchasing this book.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Every aspect of the script writing process under one coverBy Midwest Book ReviewNow in an updated and revised second edition; Julian Friedmanns How To Make Money Scriptwriting offers the aspiring scriptwriter with a "user friendly" guide to identifying what audiences want and understanding their emotional needs; developing ideas for film and television drama; writing successful treatments and step outlines; pitching ideas and scripts; handling development meetings; negotiating contracts; protecting ideas; treatments and scripts; and establishing copyright. A highly recommended and comprehensive introduction; How To Make Money Scriptwriting is a kind of "how to" course in every aspect of the script writing process under one cover.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Inside track into the real script worldBy Thomas SpiekerThis book has all the agents secrets and tricks that writers do not usually know. I dont know why Julian Friedmann has given all his insiders knowledge to his competitors; but it is good that he has. He even tells you how to fire your agent and do it yourself!
