Best Travel Idea Book Ever
There are lots of books around that give summaries of the world's "best." This is the best of these books I have ever seen. It has the usual DK excellence of design, but what makes it so useful is that it lists so many options in so many categories. Then, it gives plenty of information necessary for further study. The big categories are Ancient & Historical Sights; Festivals & Parties; Great ...

Who says pop-up books are just for kids?
With books quickly becoming a long-lost art, it's cause for celebration when one comes around that really jumps out at you -- or in this case, pops up at you. When was the last time you got excited about a pop-up book?! And who says pop-up books are just for little kids anyway?! This is a great book for anyone (of any age) who loves all things Wicked and knows that books can be much more than ...

I don't get this but my son loves it
I honestly do not get this book at all. Its a few pages of adorable babies making faces with the type of face written underneath. The page stock is wonderfully solid but yet I still don't understand how this book literally mesmerizes my son!
By far, this is his favorite book (at 4 months). He will even turn the pages (or stop me from turning the page). If he's being fussy, this book has ...

Halo Encyclopedia
As an avid Halo fan, for me this book is a must have. Not that there's much shocking new stuff that I didn't know of, but the artwork is just exellent. And it's a nice overview of the Halo universe in one package. Also for those not so familiar with the Halo universe it is a convenient way of getting up to speed. The quality of the book is remarkable. Bonded, not glued and heavy quality paper. It ...

A "Serious" Dinosaur Book
For quite some time, my 4yr old's favorite dinosaur book was My Big Dinosaur Book. Recently, however, he asked me to find him "a serious dinosaur book." So, I searched our public library, and found First Dinosaur Encyclopedia. My son loves this book.
It begins by disucssing how different the Earth was when dinosaurs existed. Illustrations show the changes between the Triassic, Jurassic, and ...

How much is too much?
I have purchased many other DK books, and I really find the entire series to be outstanding. Interesting facts, details, maps, pictures and illustrations on every single page. Helpful guidelines and phrases, history and more. No book has proved to be more conclusive as a guide to my travel destinations. I often refer to it as THE book.
That said, the DK line of books for any given country ...

Art: Over 2,500 Works from Cave to Contemporary8 reviews
DK Publishing
DK Publishing, 2008
Fantastic Art Book
About the only thing I can say in the negative about this compendium is that space constraints allow only a few large reproductions. Older eyes need a magnifying glass to get much more than a brief glance at too many of the images. Those of us who are familiar with most of these artworks will be a little disappointed, but pleased to see familiar faces, no matter how small. I only am concerned for ...

Better than I expected
I expected a rehash of all the stuff I'd read on the web, but was surprised to learn some new information here. It's laid-out in a very useful format, with excellent pictures and helpful tips.
The book contains some useful designs but, as you'd expect from the title, they're all focused on performance and not looks.
Make sure that you check with your local pack before you apply some of the ...
