The Privileges of Beauty5 reviews

Pentimento, 2002

The Privileges of Beauty
The novel is a refreshing look at life in San Francisco in another time. It is a book after my own heart full of raucous humor, enigmatic characters, intrigue, deceit and mystery. What more could a reader want?
  
  











  



  
Hush Puppy: A Melanie Travis Mystery9 reviews

Kensington, 1999

Outstanding Book Once Again
Having read every book of the Melanie Travis Mystery Series I was quite eager to open this book up and start reading. Once again it proved that Laurien Berenson can write. This book is so interesting and it honestly will keep you guessing up until the very end. I know my jaw must have dropped at least ten times throughout it. It will keep you on your toes whether you are a dog person or not. ...

The Official Preppy Handbook: The Completely Outstanding Gift Edition9 reviews

Workman Publishing Company, 1980

The Very Best
Two years ago I found this book is a small shop in Morro Bay, I read it and loved it. This is a Bible for me and I now realize that all my life I have been a prep. I found another copy at the same store this year and gave it to my sister. The book is timeless and absolutely hilarious. I recommend it to anyone who wants a great laugh and also to those who want to live the "preppy" lifestyle. ...

Review of great book
Stephen Silver's book is a great find and a must for any budding cartoonist. This book is automatically in my top ten of sketch/art of books on cartooning ( I have over 200 books). I believe we will be hearing more from Mr. Silver.

The Official Preppy Handbook51 reviews
Lisa Birnbach

Workman Publishing, 1980

Classic--Perfect for the Coffee Table
This book is timeless. It was written before I was even born and much of it still holds true. Some of the references are dated, but most of the material is relevant and funny. It's a nice book to have out on your coffee table for guests to browse through for some light amusement. I actually paid a little more for "nice" copy of the book. Perhaps it will be a collector's item someday. It ...
  
  











  



  
Princess Mononoke14 reviews
Miramax

Miramax Books, 1999

A coffee table book that isn't trite?
I've given this a high rating, not because it is flawless but because it is an awesome companion to the film and a wonderful keepsake for that time in your life when you get a coffee table to put it on. If you own the film, you probably won't need this--and honestly, I purchased it as a way to show my support of the US distribution of this film. The book is a US translation of the Japanese ...

Disney's Sketchbooks - Great Resource for Artists!
This fine addition to the Disney Sketchbook series has many of the wonderful sketches done by Disney's animation department for Peter Pan, including many pieces from the storyboards, and several sketches of scenes that never made it into the final film. Artists that would like to study the Disney style of drawing and animation should find this volume a terrific addition to their collection ...

Ordered and received Fundamentals of Chemistry for my college class. Book arrived in excellent shape. Price asked for book was far below what my college bookstore was asking for as a 'used book'. Will continue to use Amazon for further textbook needs.
  
  











  



  
The Princess Mononoke: The Art and Making of Japan's Most Popular Film of All Time3 reviews

Miramax, 1999

A breeze of fresh air...
The movie Princess Mononoke has impressed me a lot, I have had the opportunity to see the version original subtitled to the Spanish one and from then on, as animator, I have a concept very different from the animation. The characters capture to the audience for their personalities, only and completely believable, far from hero's / villainous typical stereotypes, in this film, it lines her that ...

Beanstalk's Basics for Piano: Lesson Book Preparatory Book B2 reviews
Cheryl Finn, Eamonn Morris

Willis Music, 2005

Still Magical After All These Years!
This was my first course book of some 12 years of piano training. My circa-1960s copy was lost in a basement flood. Many years later, when my young daughter asked me to give her lessons, I ordered a copy of Step by Step, Book 1. Despite a new cover, it's still all there: The retro illustrations, the sweet songs. All nostalgia aside, it is an effective teaching tool, ordered logically and ...
  
  











  



  
Creatures2 reviews
Beth Van Hoesen

Chronicle Books, 1987

great gift book
This book features drawings by Beth van Hoesen and is a great gift when you want to send somebody more than a card. The drawings are well done, beautifully colored and pair up appropriately to a Walt Whitman poem, Her drawings of animals show more about the animals then mere photographs - they seem to reach inside the animal's personality and display it for the world to see. The rabbit on the ...

Hardcover Text With Student Support Package: Volume of ...Zumdahl-Introductory Chemistry: Media Update2 reviews
Steven S. Zumdahl

Houghton Mifflin Company, 2003

Great introductory text but needs flow chart corrections.
The textbook is a wonderfully written and easy to understand. However, I take exception to the egregious misuse of flow charts. The error occurs in Chapter 5, figure 5.1. If the textbook were not a science book one could understand the lack of formality. However, it is a science textbook directed toward beginning students, as stated in the preface. I believe therefore, it would represent a ...
