A keepsake cornucopia
Designers and others of course, love nicely produced keepsakes. Paper companies latched onto the idea years ago of having their paper samples beautifully designed and printed. I've still got several Broad Spectrum samplers from Simpson Lee Papers designed in the early sixties and an almost complete set of the stunning Imagination series from Champion Papers issued in the sixties, seventies and ...

Wonderful Americana Book
100 American Flags is a very well-done, educational little book. Perfect for a Hostess gift for a 4th. of July Party. That's why I bought two - one for me and one for a dear friend who collects Americana and has a HUGE 4th. of July Bash every year.

My Favorite Japanese Cookbook
Flavors of Japan is my favorite of all the Japanese cookbooks we have. According to my Japanese husband, the flavors are authentic. My copy is an old one and has received 25 years of hard use. I would recommend it enthusiastically to anyone who wants to cook Japanese food.

Stunning, inspiring, and grand...
I stumbled on this title when it appeared as the centerpiece to a local store display of flag books that went up in the wake of September 11th. The stunning production and the breadth of material represented provide a truly unique insight into the power of the American flag as a symbol (of freedom, to be sure, but also as a symbol of revolution, grief, and pride). If you want the full impact of ...

Let type talk
I'm surprised that no one has reviewed this book before now. I bought a copy soon after it was published in 1990 and I've dipped into ever since, if only to appreciated the great book design by Kit Hinrichs and look at some knockout typography in the reproduced printed pieces. The 160 pages are split into three sections: first Hinrichs expresses his thoughts on design and typography in a Q&A ...
