Bohemian Manifesto: A Field Guide to Living on the Edge30 reviews
Laren Stover, 2004

An Art- Rich Lifestyle

+ great service!

I have for a long time considered myself a Bohemian. This book summarized every aspect of the lifestyle beautifully. Yes, there are some cliché's among its pages, and the book is written with a touch of humor, but I find that it doesn't mar the beauty or quality of Ms. Stover's book. It is filled ...

Not Just For Kids

+ Great Purchase!
+ beautiful

What a lovely book! How have I missed it all these years? I gave it to my daughter, 20, as a memento of our trip to Rome. It captures the spirit and sights of Rome better than anything else I've seen. It might work as a runup to a trip also, or just a wonderful book to dream on for kids and adults. ...

Just Beautiful

Captivating in their arrangement and iridescent quality, these photos almost appear other-worldy. Many of these pressed flower photographs are so vibrant they practically jump off the page. Full-page prints on white backgrounds are solely devoted to the natural beauty of each specimen. Some are ...
  
  











  



  
Six Nonlectures By EE Cummings

atheneum, 1967

The distinguished American poet and painter in celebrated Charles Eliot Norton "non Lectures" delivered at Harvard, presents "an aesthetic selfportrait of one whole half" (the writing half) "of this and no other indivisible ignoramus as is" In so doing, he vividly contrasts the world of his infancy and childhood and youth with our present "underworld"; he evolves "a strictly amateur anthology, or ...

Gestalten Verlag, 2006

Nature Journey

+ Nice Nature

I bought Into the Nature as a resource book for senior painting students. It has a wide collection of images but very little writing. If you liked Wonderland and Romantic you will probably enjoy this book. It is excellent as it has a wide variety of approaches to a single theme / subject matter. A ...

Stevie Smith

New Directions Publishing Corporation, 1983

A must-have collection by a unique voice.

+ A great, underappreciated poet

Stevie Smith lived with her maiden aunt in suburban London for most of her life. She dwelled on themes of death and alienation, attempted suicide, socialized with literary intelligentsia, made records and television appearances to read her poems, then died quietly after receiving the Queen's Medal ...

Steve McQueen: A Life in Pictures1 review
Yann-Brice Dherbier

Pavilion, 2008

Nice Photos, but it could be better

'A Life in Pictures' is a bit misleading as the title. Yes, there are several photos spanning McQueen's acting career, but it is hardly comprehensive. For every rare photo (or color version), there is a familiar one (some published a few years ago in the excellent book of McQueen photos by William ...
