The best bonsai book out there!
When I received a bonsai tree for mother's day, I was determined not to kill it like I had done with a previous bonsai. After researching 7 or 8 books at the library, and several more at local book stores, this one stood out as positively the best one out there. It offers full-color pictures of over 100 different species plus growing, watering, pruning, propagation, and other tips for each kind ...

The Japanese Tattoo

19 reviews

Abbeville Press, 1988

Great Art, but subpar writting
This book is worth the price for the pictures alone. Which is good because the writing is extremely sub par, with misinformation and just wrong information. The art is wonderful but the writing is so bad that you are probably better of not even reading it.

The New Father: A Dad's Guide to the First Year

Very pragmatic approach to a new baby for the dad
This book is written for the new dad from a male perspective. Very well-written and to the point. Practical month-by-month chapters that cover what you are going through during the various stages. I highly recommend you read this once before your child arrives, then as they progress month by month.

The "best" collection for expecting Dad's and beyond.
With its sophisticated "New Yorker" style comics and light hearted, realistic approach. I enjoyed reading these much more than my "What to Expect" books, which I still consider invaluable resources. I loved how these books covered practical issues, such as college savings and some relationship issues that the Mom geared books don't touch. It supplies advice about weathering Moody Moms and ...

Great for 1st Time Dads
My husband has really enjoyed this book. He likes to know what's going on with baby and me. I enjoy him sharing little tidbits with me also. This book also covers topics that Dads-to-be may feel anxious about such as money matters and the labor process. The only thing he has mentioned is that he'll read the section for the month I'm in so quick, that he'll have nothing else to read for ...

Israel Through My Lens: Sixty Years As a Photojournalist

3 reviews

Abbeville Press, 2008

Terrific book.
As a photographer, I loved this book. As good as the photographs are, the writing is even better. Great stories about working as a Time photographer in the Mid East, growing up in Europe during WWII, and wonderful vignettes about Israeli leaders. Highly recommended.

Wristwatch Annual 2008: The Catalog of Producers, Models, and Specifications (Wristwatch Annual)

10 reviews

Abbeville Press, 2007

Very nice catalog
I have read the reviews here and have to disagree. How can anyone give this book just 1 star. Its a very nice book and has some great quality pictures. It does not have too much content but its not that sort of book, it is a 2008 catalog. The author has done a super job putting it togther.

The Art of Rock Posters from Presley to Punk

A Sixties poster reference
I bought this book when it was first published in the late eighties. At that time I had been collecting posters for about ten years. I was familiar with most of the Fillmoe and Avalon series, but this book opened my eyes to posters from many other venues I hadn't seen before. It's true what the other reviewers are saying about the concentration on 60's west coast posters, but that's where the ...

Mediterranean Style: Relaxed Living Inspired by Strong Colors and Natural Materials

Abbeville Press, 1998

Simplicity, Warmth and Inspiration
Due to unforeseen circumstances whereby my lower living area was suddenly subjected unceremoniously to several feet of murky moisture, I found myself in need of a partial home makeover, but with a shoestring budget and a short time frame. Fortuitously, this book came through it unscathed, and I took it as an omen that Mediterranean was the way it should be. The pictures are strikingly ...

what a book!
This book is massive! Geesh, I wasn't expecting quite this and was pleasantly surprised. I'm very happy with this purchase, and kudos to Amazon for getting it to me a day before the estimated time it was to arrive! It came in this huge US postal bag and...it was just fantastic. Very exciting and I look forward to having a good look at it soon. I highly recommend this book to anyone. It's the ...

This is a beautiful art book. If you are a fan of Bosch you will relish the gorgeous color plates and the insightful window into this artist's life. Very well done!

The Pocket Louvre: A Visitor's Guide to 500 Works

Le Louvre
A trip to Paris would be incomplete without a visit to the world's largest museum and probably the most fascinating in the world, the Louvre. The difficulty in visiting the Louvre is that it is overwhelming, as it galleries display over eight centuries of the world's greatest masterpieces. "The Grand Louvre" is spread over four levels and comprises 30,000 works of art that occupies approximately ...

Abbeville Press, 2007

This is the one.
My library contains many various volumes on the subject of Caravaggio--fiction, biography, fictionalized biography and photo surverys of his works--but if I were allowed only one book on this most extradordinary painter and his life I'd take "Caravaggio" by John T. Spike. In this weighty large-format picture-book Mr. Spike has given us the most complete look at the artist and his works currently ...

Michelangelo: The Vatican Frescoes

Abbeville Press, 1997

Excellent Reproductions and very good text -- Truly Majestic
This is an absolutely superb book, largely because the reproductions of the frescoes are excellent and really capture the colors that you see when you visit the Chapel. I have found many art books disappointing, because they simply fail to capture the works they present. I first saw this book in an American bookstore after visiting the Sistine Chapel, and really thrilled to see if after looking ...

Andrew Gatchell
I bought this book after reading his book on the First Year. Organized in the same manner as the first, except divided into three month periods instead of one month, I found it again informative and funny. The information about temperaments was especially useful. We found books that became some of my daughter's favorites in the lists that he provides. Also, we are following Mr. Brott's advice ...

Unique Approach
This book is a classy edition to library of any nightclub industry professional and to anyone who enjoys fine design. A sequel to "Bar and Club Design", a book I have not had the opportunity to view, this second book is reminiscent of the popular photograph books published with works of famous photographers. It is physically weighted, an unusual, square shape with high quality glossy pages. ...
