I Would Give You the Moon If It Were Mine To Give
This is such a cool book and it makes a wonderful gift for anyone who loves the moon but is particularly nice for grade school and middle school kids that are interested in Astronomy. As a pagan I find it useful when I teach about the waxing and waning of the moon, eclipses, etc. It uses clever pop-up pictures and gadgets to explain the relationship of the Earth, Sun and Moon, the Moon's ...

"Peace of the Porch"
Porch Style: Just what I was looking for! I had been thinking of re-designing my back yard to include a porch, and was looking for ideas that illustrated more than the traditional decking and roofing. I wanted a book that each time I browsed I would find something new to think about. I wanted a reference and learning guide. For those who are considering a change to an existing porch, adding ...

25 Homes in Beautiful Settings
When I thought of living on an island, my first thought was the tropics. Somewhere down in the Caribbean or perhaps the South Pacific. Here houses would be open to the wind, here it would be necessary to produce your own electricity, your own water supply and so on. Instead in this book, most of the houses are on islands just off the coast of the US. And as part of the sub-title, there are ...

Another photog feast of architectural gems from this pair!
Steve Gross and Sue Daley have been dazzling the oft-oversaturated "coffee table" book market since their unusual and eclectic book OLD HOUSES was published more than a decade ago. Unlike many photographic books of this genre--or photographers for that matter--Gross + Daley look for the unusual, the misplaced, the forgotten, even the sublime. Their photographic style, while crisp, is voyeuristic ...

400 of the finest pieces of art
I've just added The Portable Picasso to my list of greatest art books. First of all, Picasso is one of the best artists that lived, only Van Gogh is better and Matisse comes close. This inexpensive volume collects 400 of this master's art in a portable, easy to look at volume. This is just a wonderful book.

High access home IDEAS . . .
Okay, so this book doesn't contain much in the way of product identification or info on how to buy anything. Still, if -- like us -- you are in the process of designing a home in which you expect to live for the rest of your life, what this book does do, and do well, is prove that accessible design CAN be beautiful (and "no," it isn't necessary to spend a fortune to implement most of the ideas in ...

Andre Raymond

Rizzoli Universe Promotional Books, 2003

Yes, But It's Useful
I can sympathize with teh reader who found Raymond's book boring and therefore gave it a middling rating. I used the French edition of this book for an MA years ago and while I found it useful because it is of the school of social history that digs out the facts and figures and puts them out there for us to use, it is most definitely useful, not fun. A ghost writer would have been a nice idea to ...

Beneath It All: 100 Years of French Elegance

Farid Chenoune

Rizzoli Universe Promotional Books, 2003

Very informative, beautifully illustrated
I think some of the other reviewers missed the point of this book. It's not a "what to wear" guide; it's not an in-depth historical treatise, and it's not soft-core porn. Actually, this book is a really good overview of lingerie and how it's tied in with social trends and ideals of women's bodies over the years. If the photos are titillating, it's because lingerie itself has an erotic side to it, ...
