![]() This book is a "short" list of all the perfumes that received 4 or 5 stars in The Guide, with added updates and commentary of new formulas and compositions. But if you don't mind spoilers, read them however you like. ![]() I did it backwards, so that kind of spoiled The Guide for me. If you're new to the world of perfumes, read this book after Perfumes: The Guide by the same authors. I mean, why else make a best-of list if not to piss people off? Seems like a petty hill to die on, but I've seen pettier. What pleasurable conniptions attend the discovery that someone has ranked Hellboy II above Casablanca or thinks Let It Be trumps Revolver! In fact, probably the best reason to make such a list is the easy satisfaction it provided of infuriating so many with so little effort. Every buff has a list: the hundred films you must see before dying, the top three cheeseburgers in the northern hemisphere, the ten most overrated paintings, the twenty most idiotic reviews in Perfumes: The A-Z Guide, etc. ![]() ![]() ![]() Schooner USS Alligator sank in Port Royal Sound during a heavy storm.

Even without the photos I very much appreciate the book, but knowing that I should be able to see them annoys me to no end. :0( Make sure you have access to all the photos/pictures before you start listening to the audiobook. As you listen the author tells you to look at particular photos and I cannot do that. Audible says they will fix it, but when? I was told that others have run into the same problem. I can only see 12 photos, and these photos I know now were not part of this book. What is VERY annoying is that the PDF file does not work correctly. Why? Because the audibook includes a PDF file with more than 400 photos. While reading, still at the beginning: I am enjoying this a lot.

That movie- Rebecca-was still another five years down the road. This was before Hitchcock had become a household name or even made his first Hollywood movie. In 1935, Alfred Hitchcock directed a film adaptation of John Buchan’s novel, published two decades earlier. We are thankful for their contributions and encourage you to make your own.
