Amphoto Books, 2008

Like it
This is the third book I'd purchased by the same author (first two were Understanding Exposure and Learning to See Creatively) and it is, no doubt, something I was looking for. Written very light and readable it really matched many things I tried to understand in making good photographs. Just can't wait the last one "Understanding Close-up Photography: Creative Close Encounters with or without a ...

Shocked-none sold at B&N....
I read this book at Barnes & Noble one weekend night to my son. It's a weekend thing we do along with my friend and her daughter. I fell in love with this book, and I'm not sure either if I'm buying it for my son (9 months) or myself. I went back to Barnes & Nobles to purchase it and the arthur had requested the books back from what I was told because none of the copies had sold. I was ...

New to eating Gluten-Free? This is a great start!
I am new to eating gluten-free and this book was given to me as a gift along with a few other books. This was by far the best book. The recipes are great. She also gives great information about how gluten-free cooking works in general so you can look at how to convert your own favorite recipes. I think this is a great first book for those who just started eating gluten-free.

Titan Books, 2006

Another warm fuzzy for any Firefly fan
If you're reading this review, then you must not own volume one of Firefly: The Official Companion. If you did, then you wouldn't need a review to sell you on this one. So I have a piece of advice for you: buy both books. If you have a place in your heart for Firefly, then make a place on your coffee table for these books. Each one is overflowing with behind-the-scenes information about every ...

Sterling & Ross Publishers, 2007

Fun for Kids, Adults, and the Serious Fan
Having just finished this book, I'm going to skip ahead and say: I am delighted. Skipping backwards, however: - The simple skill levels provide an excellent ladder into the suprisingly voluminous information within: Young fans will be thrilled to be quizzed as Salamanders (Level 1), drawn on to learn more and graduate to Phoenixes (Level 2), and even adult fans will be challenged by ...

A great gift
As a student of Philosophy, I am incredible impressed with how Sheg has managed to incorporate some of my favorite philosophers' teachings into iActuate. This is a book to read over a cup of coffee on a cold winter morning. Tayo Atanda

Airbrush: The Complete Studio Handbook (Practical Art Books)

Radu Vero

Watson-Guptill, 1997

If you only buy one airbrush book, this is the one!
I hate to gush but this is, imho, the single best book on airbrushing that I've seen. It covers technique from beginner to advanced. The instructions are straight forward. I suppose they could seem boring if you're an advanced artist. Since I learn from even a rehash of what I already new, I wasn't bored. Unlike other reviewers, I wasn't disappointed because it doesn't cover painting ...

Now this is non-fiction!
This beautifully illustrated book tells the history of African-American music through poems and art. It is both informative and inspiring. I hate age-level labels on books like this. Adults will appreciate this book as much as children. I stumbled upon it at a new multicultural bookstore, discovering later that it was a Coretta Scott King winner. I can see why!

Gibbs Smith, Publisher, 2007

Courage Under Fire
The Only Boy in Ballet Class is a perfectly charming book, wonderfully illustrated by a prolific artist, but it's also an important story for young children about coming to terms with your true self and expressing the passions you really feel, even if others don't quite get it. It's a story about commitment, about perseverance, and about unanticipated rewards. Tucker Dohr loves to dance, and ...

Tuttle Publishing, 2003

Great book!
I just got back from a two-week vacation in Japan, where I used several books in an attempt to improve my miniscule knowledge of Japanese. This book was the best of a good lot; the word selection is excellent, and the book teaches sufficient grammar almost effortlessly; most important, it's small enough to finish fairly quickly. Of course, it's only a start--for a second book, I recommend ...

An absolute delight for young children learning to count!
Harris has put the concepts of counting into a truly delightful book for the young reader and teachers of young readers. Each section of the book invites the reader to fill in a conclusion which draws young readers into the book, its bright, attractive pictures, and the idea of being able to count all the way to 100!

Watson-Guptill, 1993

176 Pages...
I agree that these are great journals and sketchbooks. For some reason Amazon does not list the number of pages in the various Watson-Guptill sketchbooks, even though it is printed on the sticker. I have two versions of this book with the same ISBN number - one bought in 2001 with 224 pages and one bought in 2004 with 176 pages. Maybe Watson-Guptill has trimmed the size of the sketchbooks. So ...

Amsterdam for Readers
Anyone who has ever visited Amsterdam knows the curious magic of that city, its canal-lined streets, polyglot population, and unconventional mores. But few are aware of Amsterdam's rich literary life. Manfred Wolf brilliantly redresses that cultural gap in Amsterdam, A Traveler's Literary Companion. In what may be the best in an excellent series, Wolf, Professor of English at San Francisco State ...

One Happy Grandma
I was shown this book by a family member just before my grandchildren came to visit from across the country. My grandson is 6 years old and had not yet entered the first grade. All it took was a look at the cover and he was into it. He studied each of the pages and turned to me with a desperate voice (while holding my face with his hands and making me look into his eyes)"TEACH ME TO READ ...
