This book documents the history of one of the first coin operated movie viewing machines, the Mutoscope. ÊBorn during the very beginnings of film history, the Mutoscope spawned and supported the success of two companies, American Mutoscope and Biograph, and the International Mutoscope Reel Corp, over the course of 75 years. The Mutoscope is still operating in vintage arcades around the US and Europe. ÊThe device can be found in the collections of renowned film/technology museums such as The Smithsonian, MOMA and CinŽmath�que Fran�aise. ÊThis first volume details the pioneering company, the American Mutoscope and Biograph Company. ÊRead how the Mutoscope dethroned the Edison Kinetoscope, and of the company's two pronged approach into the business of early cinema: The Penny Arcades, and the Nickelodeons. ÊThe second volume details the successor company, the International Mutoscope Reel Company.

Good to have if you've never seen the iTEP exam, but don't rely on it to boost your scores
Format: Paperback
This book is good in that it comes with two practice tests: one in the beginning of the book, one in the end of the book. The grading rubric is helpful too. However, the actual guide part of the book, doesn't help too much with how to improve test scores. What I like least about this guide is that it won't tell you which questions you answered incorrectly on the practice exams. A good test prep guide will tell you what you answered incorrectly, and will tell you what logic to follow to get to the correct answer. In the reading passages, it would be nice to know where I can find evidence to justify the "correct" answer. In the grammar section, it would be nice to know which rule I'm violating. Any test guide should always come with some testing strategies. I.E. If this question is taking up too much time, skip it and go to the next one. This guide lacks simple strategies like that. Simple strategies like that could be useful when incorporated into this guide because there are certain sections on the exam that you can go back to previous questions, but some sections where the "back" button is disabled. Overall, if you've never seen an iTEP exam before, this book is certainly helpful in that it will give you an idea of what you will be testing for. However, this book alone won't help you achieve a score of 6. The table of contents itself will tell you there are only 86 pages of actual content covering test material. That's not enough to cover how to excel in the exam.

Don't buy it
Format: Paperback
It does not prepare for the real test. Using it is absolutely not enough to be approved with good grades. Too expensive for what it offers.
