Not only did I receive this product faster than expected, it was brand new and it was one of the most amazing books I have ever read with some of the most exquisite photography I've ever seen!             On This Earth: Photographs from East Africa34 reviews Nick Brandt Chronicle Books, 2005 On This Earth This is a wonderful book with some great pictures of the African wildlife. The black and white photos were striking and the book appeals to 3 years of age to 65. It captured the African wildlife that I have had the privilege of seeing first hand on two occasions.             Absolut Book.: The Absolut Vodka Advertising Story40 reviews Richard W. Lewis Journey Editions, 1996 WOW!! This is a wonderful, informative, and beautiful book. This book is about the Absolut Vodka advertising campaign. How it began, and what it is about. There are many beautiful, and breath taking images which makes you see the entire light of the campaign which looks so simple from the outside. Now, you get the inside looks and it isn't simple at all but an amazing experience. WOW!!             Jock Sturges45 reviews Distributed Art Pub Inc (Dap), 1996 People cared for beautifully. Gerry Badger, in a listing of 250 key photographers, refers to Jock Sturges as the leading photographer of the "natural" nude (p. 170, Collecting Photography, Mitchell Beazley). This is fine, as far as it goes, but is too limited an introduction to Mr. Sturges's work. Mr. Sturges's photography is not limited to nudes. Neither can his subject matter be properly described as the nude or the ...             Marilyn Monroe: The Complete Last Sitting33 reviews Bert Stern Schirmer Art Books, 2006 An absolute must-have for any fan... This enormous volume is a must for any fan of Marilyn's. There are over 400 pages of beautiful, high-quality photographs and photographer notes. Known as 'The Complete Last Sitting' (although it wasn't her last), the photographs are among the most stunning and haunting of the screen legend. Taken by photographer Bert Stern for Vogue, the session was a milestone for Marilyn. After winning her ...             Anton Corbijn: U2&i: the Photographs 1982-200431 reviews Anton Corbijn Schirmer/Mosel, 2008 A treasure for any U2 fan No words can describe the beauty, quality and detailed work of this book; you can really tell the dedication Anton Corbijn put into it, as well as his loyalty to the band through all these years. It's not only a masterpiece describing through pictures and notes the history of the greatest rock band in the world, but also a must have for any major U2 fan. It's personalized album type format ...             The Visual Dictionary of Star Wars, Episode I - The Phantom Menace44 reviews Dorling Kindersley, David West Reynolds DK Publishing (Dorling Kindersley), 1999 Great answers for "Mommy, what's that called?" We have a 4 1/2 year old daughter obsessed with the Star Wars girls (Shaak Ti in particular) and this is good because it tells all about the different charachters, places, vehicles and robots of the movie in easy to understand, yet complete language. Very good for the little Star Wars fan or anyone who would like to go a little deeper, but not THAT deep.             Fast Track Photographer: The Definitive New Approach to Successful Wedding Photography47 reviews Cut Frame Press, 2008 Amazing Resource! I just finished "Fast Track Photographer" this week - I didn't realize how much this book would change the way I saw both my business and myself. I gained so much out of it, and I'm still learning to apply the principles learned from my PDNA results. I can't wait to see how things look next year at this time! So, I just wanted to let you know, that $25 has been the best investment I've spent ...             The Journey is the Destination: The Journals of Dan Eldon52 reviews Dan Eldon Chronicle Books, 1997 Truly Profound I bought this book upon it's release in 1997. I can remember allowing the contents of this memoir to captivate me for hours on end. I lent my copy to a friend shortly thereafter and subsequently forgot about it. I recently ordered a replacement and I must say, this book is even more compelling than I ever remembered. Dan Eldon was a profound visionary, an articulate statesman and a devoted ...             How to Cheat in Photoshop : The art of creating photorealistic montages - updated for CS2 (How to Cheat in)34 reviews Steve Caplin Focal Press, 2005 How to Cheat in Photoshop - A Have to Have Book This is a very fun book to work thru. It comes with a CD that has photos to work with. You will install the CD and use the different effects over and over. I find myself going back to the book on many different projects. Most of the effects are ones that you can use in editing any type of photo. I loved the book and recomend it highly. Even beginners will find it easy to follow.             The Family Of Man26 reviews The Museum of Modern Art, New York, 2002 Perhaps the best photographic book ever published I first found this book at Foyle's in London, about 35 years ago, and it struck me. Since then, I bought five copies of the Family of Man, but no one remained in my home, because ever I felt the need to give this book to someone I loved or trusted. What is making this book so precious to me? First the idea itself of collecting pictures from the whole world (remember, when Steichen launched his ...             The Americans29 reviews Robert Frank Distributed Art Pub Inc (Dap), 1993 The definitive "The Americans" We're lucky to have this edition. Robert Frank is an old man with health issues now. That he is healthy enough to oversee this work is wonderful. Everything about this edition - especially in comparison to the 2007 Delpine edition I purchased earlier this year - is first-rate. I wish I had known this was coming out! The book is a little smaller than the Delpine, but that's the only real ...             LIFE : Our Century in Pictures29 reviews Richard B. Stolley Bulfinch, 1999 A scrapbook of the century... Life has done a superb job of pulling the whole century together into one book.I wont't tell you what picture was the first picture the started the book off with.But I'll tell you this;they got it right! This in not only the most important and best picture of the 20th century, but also; the most significient picture to portray what man has done;ever.Check out the book and see if you don't agree. ...             Madeleine Vionnet30 reviews Betty Kirke Chronicle Books, 1998 Wonderful book, with BIG Problems This is an outstanding book on a revolutionary designer. Wonderful photos, and "patterns" from the clothing. the only problem is Kirke never bothers to tell you what the scale is, so making these patterns is almost impossible. Her directions for making the patterns are laughable. The patterns are white lines on black. Why include patterns if you aren't going to put them in a usable form? There ...             Ernie: A Photographer's Memoir29 reviews Tony Mendoza Chronicle Books, 2001 Hi Ernie, it's a pleasure to make your acquaintance... I encountered Ernie while visiting the Tate Modern bookstore here in London over the weekend, and was instantly won over by his crazy, self-possessed ways. The genius of Mendoza's work lies in his ability to faithfully capture the personality of his feline subject, with the same amount of detail and devotion one would expect to see in photographs of people. As a filmmaker and photography ...             Old Dogs: Are the Best Dogs27 reviews Simon & Schuster, 2008 Old Dogs: Are the Best Dogs This is a wonderful, wonderful book. I had read the author's book excerpt in the Washington Post weekend magazine and was so impressed that I got the book. I was so thrilled with the book, I bought four more copies for friends. The book will make you laugh and make you cry. The best book I have read in a while!             Turning Heads: Portraits of Grace, Inspiration, and Possibilities28 reviews Press On Regardless, 2006 Turning Heads I LOVE this book! I stumbled upon it during my chemotherapy for breast cancer and I was inspired by the beauty and courage of the women photographed, in fact, I scheduled a photo session with an artist I know to take photos of me without hair....it was empowering to stand bare and beautiful before the camera. I heartily recommend this book.             The Book of Alternative Photographic Processes31 reviews Christopher James Delmar Cengage Learning, 2001 Oldie but Goodie Updated You'd think that alternative photographic processes would be dead in this digital age, but there's still a lot of life in these fun, techniques, some of which date back 100 years or more. If you want to have fun, and rediscover some of the joy of photography, buy this book and try some of these processes for yourself.             Unicorns I Have Known31 reviews Robert Vavra William Morrow, 1983 Reality of the Unicorn This gorgeous book is one of the finest unicorn books I own. It has great pictures and lots of unicorn details and a unicorn searching guide. It is worth buying if you like unicorns or photography. It is worth getting Unicorn of Kilimanjaro or the Calendar if you can find them as well. It is on my list of favorite all time books, and i see a lot of them as i work at a bookstore. By this if you or ...             Subway Art28 reviews Martha Cooper, Henry Chalfant Holt Paperbacks, 1988 THIS BOOK CHANGED MY LIFE FOR A WHILE BUT NOW I'M 34 Subway Art. What can I say? This, Style Wars, Beat Street, Break Dance... they all had their influence on me (& a whole generation) back in the day. Hip Hop isn't what it used to be, though. Most of what we hear these days is mixed up with R'n'B, commercialised, repackaged and shipped for your dissatisfaction. If you ask me... when it comes to Hip Hop, stick with the old school. I was ...              search for books 1982-2004, advertising, alternative, americans, approach, century, complete, creating, definitive, destination, dictionary, inspiration, journals, journey, madeleine, montages, phantom, photographer, photographic, photographs, photography, photorealistic, photoshop, pictures, portraits, possibilities, processes, successful, turning, unicorns books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
