J. Douglas Arnold
While still in High school, J. Douglas began writing tips and reviews of games with his friend Zach Meston, and with the help of his mothers publishing company "Sandwich Islands Publishing" (SIP) he began producing a bi-monthly video games fan magazine called "Amiga Games Guide". Up until that point SIP had done newsletters and a travel guide called "The Mauian". With the success of his first book in 1991 for 'Compute! Books', "Compute's Nintendo Tricks and Tips" ISBN: 087455246X he began to develop his own series of gaming book in the same lines as Prima's "Secrets of the Games", and Bantam's "Game Mastery" series, while Bantam's series used titles such as 'Ultimate Nintendo Games', Arnold and SIP would use the opening title 'Awesome', and the series title "Gaming Mastery". His first book with SIP was "Awesome Sega Genesis Secrets" ISBN: 0962467642. While at first he wrote most of the books himself, he teamed up with others for later books, became director of the series for SIP, when he was not the actual author. The early books had illustrated covers but later ones simply had a colorized design and layout that Arnold would generally make himself. After the initial gaming series, the gaming books went under various series titles, including "Player's Guide", "Survival Guide", and "Trainer's Guide" for Pokémon related books. Occasionally he would place 'Stereograms' within the books for readers to find, and list their locations at the end of the book. Although nearly all of these gaming books were unofficial and not licensed, there were some notable exceptions as his and long time co-author Zach Meston made guides for 'Working Designs' games. A few years later Meston would be working at this company himself. And the electronic talking toy "Furby". Early in the year 2000, SIP was sued by Nintendo of America for publishing a translation of the Japanese instructions in their guide "Pokémon Gold and Silver: Japanese Translation Guide" ISBN: 1884364519. He produced several more game guides ending with "Pokémon: Trading Card Game, Player's Guide Volume 3: Team Rocket" in 2001, for a total of 10 years of producing gaming guides. After this he left the video game field and currently still works with his family on the annual "Best of Maui" travel guide, as President/Art Director. {Sources: About the Author and Copyright Page's- Staff credits, in SIP gaming books.Best of Maui, travel guide with contributions by J.

J. D. Salinger
Jerome David Salinger (January 1, 1919 – January 27, 2010) was an American author best known for his 1951 novel The Catcher in the Rye. Salinger published several short stories in Story magazine in 1940, before serving in World War II. In 1948, his critically acclaimed story A Perfect Day for Bananafish appeared in The New Yorker, which published much of his later work. The Catcher in the Rye was an immediate popular success; Salinger's depiction of adolescent alienation and loss of innocence was influential, especially among adolescent readers. The novel was widely read and controversial, and its success led to public attention and scrutiny. Salinger became reclusive, publishing less frequently. He followed Catcher with a short story collection, Nine Stories (1953); Franny and Zooey (1961), a volume containing a novella and a short story; and a volume containing two novellas, Raise High the Roof Beam, Carpenters and Seymour: An Introduction (1963). Salinger's last published work, the novella Hapworth 16, 1924, appeared in The New Yorker on June 19, 1965. Source: Wikipedia

Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin
Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin was a French lawyer, magistrate, and politician, who wrote one of the most celebrated works on food, 'Physiologie du gout' (The Physiology of Taste), which was published only months before his death. It consists of 8 volumes and its full title is 'The Physiology of Taste, or Meditation on Transcendent Gastronomy, a Work Theoretical, Historical, and Programmed.' There are few recipes but many anecdotes and observations covering all aspects of the pleasures of the table. He was quite possibly the greatest food critic ever. --Foodreference.com

Jean Baptiste Say
Jean Baptiste Say (1767—1832) Jean Baptiste Say was an economist and businessman He had Liberal views and argued m favor of competition, free trade, and lifting restraints on business. He was born 5 January 1767 in Lyon France and his father, Jean-Etienne Etienne Say of Protestant family forced to moved from Nimes to Geneva in consequence of the revocation of the Edict of Nantes. One brother, Louis Auguste (1774-1840) was also an economist but Say was intended to follow a commercial career and was sent, with his other brother Horace, to England. Here he lived first in Croydon, in the house of a merchant, to whom he acted as clerk, and afterwards in London, where he was in the service of another employer. When, on the death of the latter, he returned to France, be was employed into office of a life assurance company directed by Etienne Claviere. Say's first literary attempt was a pamphlet on the liberty press, published in 1789. He later worked under Mirabeau on the Courrier de Provence. In 1792 he took part as a volunteer in the campaign of Champagne; in 1793 he assumed, in conformity with the Revolutionary fashion, the pre-name of Atticus, and became secretary to Claviere, then finance the minister. In 1793 Say married Mlle Deloche, daughter of a former lawyer. From 1794 to 1800 Say edited a periodical entitled La Decade philosophsque, Iitteraure, et pohnique, in which he expounded the doctrines of Adam Smith. He had by this time established his reputation as a publicist, and, when the consular government was established in 1799. In 1800 be published in Olbie, ou essai sur les moyens de reformer les moeurs d'une nation. It was in 1803 that Say's principal work appeared, the Traite d'econome politique ou simple exposition de la maniere dont se ferment, se distribuent et se competent lea richesses. In 1804, having shown his unwillingness to sacrifice his convictions for the purpose of furthering the designs of Napoleon, he was removed from the office of tribune. He then turned to industrial pursuits, and, having made himself acquainted with the processes of the cotton manufacture, founded at Auchy, in the Pas de Calais, a spinning-mill which employed four or five hundred persons, principally women and children. He devoted his leisure to the improvement of his economic treatise, which had for some time been out of print but which the censorship did not permit him to republish. In 1814 he 'availed himself' of the sort of liberty arising from the entrance of the allied powers into France to bring out a second edition of the work, dedicated to the emperor Alexander I of Russia, who had professed himself his pupil. In to same year the French government sent him to study the economic condition of the United Kingdom. The results of his observations appeared in A tract de l'Angleterre et des Anglais. A third edition of the Traite appeared in 1817. A chair of industrial economy was founded for him in 1819 at the Coniservatoire des Arts et Meters. In 1831 he was made professor of political economy at the College de France. Say in 1828-1830 published his Curios complet d'economie peltaique pranque. In 1826, he was elected a foreign member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Science. ln his later years Say became subject to attacks of nervous apoplexy. He lost his wife in January 1830; and from that time his health constantly declined. When the revolution of that year broke out, he was named a member of the council-general of the department of the Seine, but found it necessary to resign. He died in Paris on 15 November 1832, and is buried in the cemetery of Invanlides.
