Informative Guide! (Adds a touch of logistical reality to creating a dream home)

All the things the customers and builders had to consider in construction. (From design, to permits, to materials,to assembly and finally finishing) This is a good way to get an idea of what building a traditional or westernized ...

R. Crumb's Heroes of Blues, Jazz, & Country

"Harry N. Abrams, Inc.", 2006

"So what is it you like about that old music?" *
Wow! Every so often you run across something that knocks your socks off. R. Crumb's Heroes of Blues, Jazz, & Country left me barefooted. In the 1980s, Robert Crumb, whom Robert Hughes appropriately once called the "Breughel of the 20th century," created sets of trading cards featuring some of his favorite blues, jazz, and country musicians. (The plan was to include one card per LP sold by ...

Afghanistan to Yemen
The theme of this book is man's impact on the planet and the life-or-death need for sustainable development. The introduction is a mix of statistics and a call to action, while each month is prefaced with text on some aspect of our planet's characteristics and condition (April: Biodiversity--A Condition of Survival; August: Renewable Energy; December: Free Trade, Unfair Competition, and Equitable ...

Missing something, but still awesome
I loved the book although a bunch of the details were left such as the girls day to day to life seeing as they only talk in instant message form which was a breathe of fresh air if you ask me. Its about Angela, Maddie, and Zoe and their dramas of 10th grade life. Angela's drama is boy related and she needs a little soyjoy! haha! Maddie has it worst with her drunken partying. And then Zoe's drama ...

Stunning Photographs of Shells
I was recently on vacation at a seacoast resort and every bookstore and gift shop in the area had a small book, almost a mini coffee table book, entitled SEASHELLS. The book contains both photographs and text regarding shells. Customers picked up the book, leafed through the pages and were amazed. The amazement was a reaction to the stunning photography of Jodie Iselin. The shells are arranged in ...

Pink Box: Inside Japan's Sex Clubs

Joan Sinclair

Harry N. Abrams, Inc., 2006

This Isn't a Book for Prudes or Feminists
"All I ask is that viewers not assume that the profession is inherently degrading. It's more complicated than that. These women are not powerless, they are not on drugs. They have made conscious choices: they have their own dignity. The clubs are a reflection of modern Japan, a literate society, where the rules are written out, prices are not negotiable, and fantasies are predetermined, ...

The Diary of Frida Kahlo: An Intimate Self-Portrait

Frida Kahlo

"Harry N. Abrams, Inc.", 2005

Exceptional reproduction of actual diary pages, in full
Enrique Torres' review is 100% accurate, so I just want to add a few additional comments. The reproduction of the diary pages is nothing short of amazing - apparently scanned with a high quality scanner, or perhaps photographed digitally or with film and then digitized. The colors of both the writing and the images appear exceptionally accurate - Frida used many different colored pencils in ...

The Goblins of Labyrinth: 20th Anniversary Edition

Brian Froud, Terry Jones

"Harry N. Abrams, Inc.", 2006

amazing artwork
I bought this book for my girlfriend, that loved it when she was little, but lost the book in a moving. This book is really charming and very imaginative. The explanations and names of the creatures are very amusing, the illustrations are amazing, and the talent of the author shows. However, it is more a goblin catalog than a fantasy book or novel, so be sure of what you are buying. It is ...

Best technical book on any subject I've seen for a while
When I opened this book and saw how slick and enticing it was, I was afraid that it might be just about the graphics side of book design. I wanted a technical book that provided a thorough coverage of the subject. I was not disappointed, however. This book gives a great treatment with clear, beautiful drawings that cover every subject from the aesthetics of page layout to mechanics of printing. ...

Creole Houses: Traditional Homes of Old Louisiana

Harry N. Abrams, Inc., 2007

Another great book from Steve Gross & Susan Daley
This book brings important attention to the existence of these historic Creole homes in a part of the country that has been shattered by natural events in recent years. Fortunately, these homes are survivors: of their glorious past, of the ravages of weather, economy and time. The photographic vision of Gross and Daley is a brilliant dedication to documenting places as they are and not how we ...

A. Leo Nash

Harry N. Abrams, Inc., 2007

An extraordinary view of an indescribable place
Nash is a great photographer, with a clear, timeless vision that you can literally feel. His photographs hold you and keep you looking into them, farther. This is another volume in the work of our best contemporary photographers, and an extraordinary record of art and a place we might never have otherwise seen. Burning Man is often described as being indescribable, and for good reason. So much ...

Harry N. Abrams, Inc., 2007

Wonderful work
As someone with the nickname "snorkelgeek" you know I don't take these kinds of books lightly! This is an amazing look into the undersea world that even those of us who snorkel, don't often see. There are creatures in this book that I never knew existed and am now excited about possibly seeing the next time I'm under water. This book will be flipped through often enough to become dog-eared, ...

The Three Incestuous Sisters: An Illustrated Novel

Audrey Niffenegger

"Harry N. Abrams, Inc.", 2005

Evocative art book
"The Three Incestuous Sisters" is what author Audrey Niffenegger deems as "a novel in pictures." There is little text in the book, but every spread includes a beautiful full-page illustration that depicts the story of three grown sisters, Bettine, Clothilde, and Ophile. The sisters live together in a secluded house near the sea. When lightning kills the lighthouse keeper, his handsome young son, ...
