Sue Steward

Chronicle Books, 1999

A quick, classy, well-informed music guide

+ Enjoyable book on Salsa

Wow. Weighing in at a mere 176 pages, this snappy little volume sure packs a wallop! This is the Cuban music equivalent of McGowan & Pessanha's "Brazilian Sound," but with more dynamic layout, and exceptionally precise writing. "Musica!" features several geographically-centered chapters, ...

Carnival in Rio3 reviews
Helmut Teissl

Abbeville Press, 2000

A Riot of Color, Costumes and Beauty to a Samba Beat!

+ Sumptuous and sexy
+ Carnival Comes to You!

This book and CD are the next best thing to going to Carnival in Rio. Carnival is the Brazilian equivalent of Mardi Gras in New Orleans. Except the scale and intensity of Carnaval dwarf Mardi Gras. Few of us will ever get to Brazil to enjoy the spectacle, but we can enjoy it from afar thanks to ...

Best Brazilian Portuguese phrase book I've found!

+ Very helpful
+ Extremely Helpful

I'm just a lonely writer wanna-be in the heart of the middle of nowhere, so what do I choose to write -- a period piece of Brazil. I can't even begin to praise this book enough. Not only do I get phrases and words, but there are all sorts of little historical and cultural details. I will ...

Lonely Planet Publications, 2004

Generic stuff

+ For You Single Men..
+ Good for a 1 week visit

They've written so many of these guides that they are becoming a tad generic on their advice. I bought this and found a lot of information outdated to inaccurate when I arrived. However, if you're not planning on going to Rio right away, and find yourself very curious about this great city, I would ...

Let me begin by saying I know very little about ballroom dancing, but like so many others, my wife and I have gotten somewhat interested thanks to the Dancing With the Stars craze that has become so popular. She has insisted that we take dance lessons and, not being one eager to embarrass myself ...

Days of Intimacy1 review

Janssen Verlag, 2003

Years of enjoyment

This book features just one model, Stephanie, on one B&W picture per page. She's sometimes clothed or covered, at least in part, but most often appears wearing only Stephanie. It looks really good on her. Karsten catches her in many moods. Sometimes, her simple, subtle form suffices (p.42, 100, ...
