And the books keep coming...

[quasigeostrophy]

In the Amazon order I picked up today (it came to my office last week while I was in California), along with my new radar detector (to keep me company on those boring drives ;-)), and the special, two-disc DVD of Singin' in the Rain and the DVD set for Father Ted: Series 3, the following books got added to "the pile":

• Frozen Desserts: The Definitive Guide to Making Ice Creams, Ices, Sorbets, Gelati, and Other Frozen Delights by Caroline Liddell & Robin Weir - a proven, terrific recipe book for use with our ice cream maker.
  
• The Eyre Affair by Jasper Fforde - I was fascinated by one of the games at ACUS last month (that I didn't play in, but semperfiona did, and even brought her character and the concept to the "Playing Favourites" game in the last slot at the con) that happened to be based on the concept in this book.

the special, two-disc DVD of Singin' in the Rain

How are the extras on that? Good? Superfluous? So fabulous I will keel over and die without them?

I'm curious because I already have it on DVD, but if the extras are enticing enough, I might have to buy the two-disk set.

We just got it, and so haven't watched all the extras yet, but the 2nd disc has 2 documentaries, excerpts of songs, "You Are My Lucky Star" outtake, scoring session music cues, and a stills gallery. The 1st disc, along with movie, has audio commentary by Debbie Reynolds, Donald O'Connor, Cyd Charisse, Kathleen Freeman, co-director Stanley Donen, screenwriters Betty Comden & Adolph Green, filmmaker Baz Luhrmann, and author/film historian Rudy Behlmer.
