Too nice to send!
Wow...I have to agree with the last reviewer! These cards are simply lovely! I'm a postcard collector/swapper who regularly sends and receives postcards from all over the world.

Classic & Delightful
This book is completely charming. Not only are the illustrations and poems cute, but the format of the book is very versatile.

Texas A&M University Press, 1999

Beautiful photos; fascinating history
The city of Galveston, Texas was a vibrant, prosperous port at the start of the 20th century, outstripping even New Orleans. Fine Victorian homes were built by prosperous merchants, many in grand style. The deadly hurricane of 1900 dealt the city a blow from which it never entirely recovered. But Galveston's economic slump had a silver lining -- as shown in "The Galveston That Was." There ...

Pomegranate, 2008

Best of the best Japanese calendars
I buy this calendar for my husband each year as he spent several years in Japan and appreciates their culture. Hokusai is a wonderful artist and his prints come to life in this well done calendar. Each picture can be saved and framed like they do in Japan. Use one matt and a beautiful frame and change out the prints or group several of them. Look at the detail in the prints and appreciate the ...

Pharaohs of the Sun: Akhenaten : Nefertiti : Tutankhamen

7 reviews

Bulfinch Press, 1999

review of Pharaohs of the Sun
An intriguing account of the life and rule of Akhenaten, one of the most controversial figures in Egyptian history. Akenaten, who is widely credited with being the world's first monotheist, rejected the well-established pantheon of gods and Egypt's capital to establish a new religious and government center at Aketaten, the "Horizon of the Aten." The authors attribute this to the fact that the ...

Displayed between these pages are eye-popping decorative and fine arts from the ...

Thames & Hudson, 2000

Portraiture: Vincent van Gogh's great love
From 2000-2001 this exhibition, devoted specifically to Van Gogh's portraits and self-portraits, will travel to Detroit, Boston and Philadelphia. This book is well written and provides graphics of superb quality. My only misgiving comes from the fact that seven different writers contributed to the commentary of the book which makes the flow of the text somewhat disjointed. While very well ...
