Froud's Majestic Vision
Combining the talents of Jim Henson's storytelling with Brian Froud's exquisite art, The Dark Crystal is an amazing film. The World of the Dark Crystal is a must-have companion piece to the film. On its pages are inscribed in detail the epic story's conceptualization and the process of designing its beautifully imagined characters and creatures. The book contains rare artwork by the ingenious ...

Faerie Wonderful
This book is so nice I bought one for my mom for her birthday! Of course it was part of a huge stack we took to have Brian Froud sign - which makes it even more sweet! Very funny reading and the drawings are just fabulous!

Superb Portraits!
This is one of the best books of portraits that it has been my pleasure to view. Before going further, let me observe that the book contains much female nudity that would earn an "R" rating if this were a motion picture. Glenn O'Brien in the book's introduction captures the essence of the book well, "The beauty standard is being raised once again." Whether the subjects are beautiful (and many ...

Excellent book ! All of a good Phantom of the opera's fan needs to know about this classic musical masterpiece. History, true facts, anecdotes, first editions, the future.. No more words. Don't miss it !!

Remembering Buddy

Pavilion Books, 1994

Rave On!
This is, hands down, the best biography of Buddy Holly available. I have read them all and though others have their moments (mainly rare photos) they are spoiled with proven factual errors and unsubstantiated rumors. John Goldrosen's book is the standard by which all others are judged. Goldrosen is a stickler for accuracy and his research is meticulous. He also keeps close to all things ...

A Taste of India

Madhur Jaffrey

Pavilion Books, 2006

Why buy this book?
1. It is a good cook book, with beautiful recipies that work. 2. The food is presented in context in which it is eaten in India. 3. This is like a travelogue of India through its food. So if you like India, travel, food, cooking or books about cooking food in different parts of India, then this is the book for you.

Gastronomy of Italy

7 reviews
Anna Del Conte

Pavilion Books, 2004

A very nice reference for terms, recipes, and Italian books.
`the Gastronomy of Italy' by Anna Del Conte is a dandy little reference to regional Italian recipes, products, wines, and techniques. The list of the author's other works and the imprimatur of the Accademia Italiana Della Cucina demonstrates that this is no quickie knock-off by publisher, Barnes and Noble. An examination of the book's contents confirms this first impression with a very nice ...

The Little Prince

Antoine de Saint-Exupery

Little Prince speaks to the child in me
I was an adult when i read this book, and i really appreciated the lessons in life that Saint-Exupery shares through the Little Prince. A great book, full of beautiful illustrations, easy to read, while fun and sad at the same time. I personally read it as if Exupery is sharing with us the conversations he has with his own inner child, in the image of the Little Prince. That is why the ...

Jack Vettriano

Anthony Quinn, Jack Vettriano

Pavilion Books, 2005

Art that's easy to enjoy
You may well have seen Vettriano's "The Singing Butler," or other of his elegant paintings - but that doesn't mean you've heard of him. This book takes care of that. It covers eighteen years of his career, 1987 to 2004. It shows what you missed, and probably a few images you saw but never connected to the others. Vettriano's images go beyond Hopper's. They have much of the same graphic quality ...

Albert Watson, Jeff Koons

Pavilion Books, 1997

Ultimate Black & White Images
Albert Watson's images in this book are quite simply some of the best images of Black & White photography in any book! They are technically perfect and arrestingly beautiful. His images are powerful, moving, creative, and always well composed. Furthermore, the printing in this book is one of the best I've ever seen. If you appriciate masterful black & white images you would probably be ...

Cinderella An Art Deco Princess
What a divine book! Not just for children. I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves the Cinderella tale and the deco period. The illustrations are so incredibly charming and evocative, I'm going to buy a second book, tear out the pages and frame them.

The Father Who Had 10 Children

Benedicte Guettier

Pavilion Books, 1998

A book parents can relate to.
Thefather is a typical busy parent who dreams of some 'alone' time. But, when he gets it, he is lonesome. My daughter loved the book so much, she took it to preschool for show and tell.

Pavilion Books, 2001

hooray!
I had been looking at design books for months now and was bored out of my mind seeing page after page of white-on-white color schemes (most of which were heralded as 'fantastically innovative' -- how innovative can they be when they're filling every single book?!) I knew that wasn't what I wanted, but I needed some ideas to spark my creativity. And then I found this book! It's big, it's ...

James Tissot (Pre-Raphaelite Painters Series)

James Tissot
The paintings of James Tissot both reveal and pose questions concerning his subjects. Many works have seemingly deliberate contradictions. I found myself engrossed in each scene. This particular book is a beautiful collection of his most recognizable pieces.

War Game

Pavilion Books, 1993

Teacher's Dream
This is a rare book for anyone who loves to teach and learn about history. Michael Foreman has taken a remarkable event (i.e. The Christmas Day Truce of WWI)and created a timeless tale. His book is packed with wonderful illustrations, and contains many facts about the Great War. Foreman has also woven primary documents from the time period throughout the book; most of which are in the form ...

Complete and Utter Failure: A Celebration of Also-rans, Runners-up, Never-weres and Total Flops

4 reviews
Neil Steinberg

Pavilion Books, 1995

Donald Trump needs to read this book!
A wonderful, hilarious, beautifully written, and inadvertently profound book. Neil Steinberg, previously the author of an eye-popping compendium of college pranks ("If At All Possible, Involve A Cow"), takes what would seem the most dismal of subjects and turns it into an empathetic and celebratory meditation on an underappreciated trait that binds us all together, the capacity to screw up, ...

The Key to the Kingdom

4 reviews

Pavilion Books, 1992

One of the most witty, beautiful decks you will ever see!
I highly recommend this deck to anyone who collects cards. It lives up to it's name and more! Tony Meeuwissen has very cleverly used the suits to create wonderful illustrations of traditional rhymes and verses on every card. (It's not tecnically a transformation deck, but once you've seen it, you won't care) No written review can possibly do it justice, it really has to be seen to be ...

Thai Vegetarian Cooking

Quite simply, an excellent Thai cookbook.
For people who long for a taste of true Thai cuisine, this cookbook offers recipes for many well- and little-known authentic Thai dishes. For example, my mother used to make the "White Radish Cake with Beansprouts" for me when I was growing up, but I've never seen it on any menu in the States. Now I can make it myself! A few of my friends have bought this cookbook, and without exception, ...

Noodle

Terry Durack

Pavilion Books, 1999

I love this book!
Beautifully photographed, lovingly and humorously written, 'Noodle' is simply superb. First readers are introduced to the various noodles of the world in the Noodle ID section. Then readers are treated to truly wonderful Asian recipes, country by country. (I do hope that the author writes a follow-up focusing on European and American culinary uses of the noodle.)A great book that honors a ...
