Vatch's rules
I lived in Bangkok for 3 years and have tried every Thai cookbook in print--this is the BEST. Easy easy easy and authentic, with beautiful illustrations and descriptions of food from Thailand, Burma, Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia, this makes a great gift. You will use this cookbook all the time.

A beautiful book...
Shaker: Life, Work and Art is a beautiful book. I first saw acopy several years ago and was disappointed to learn that thehardcover version was out of print. The book has short narrative sections that provide insight into Shaker history, work, and communal and spiritual life. One section captures a "typical" day in the life of the Brethren and Sisters. The enlarged font is easy on the eyes and ...

A Comprehensive History Of The Khmer Empire
Angkor Cities And Temples is perhaps one of the most beautiful books I have ever had the pleasure of owning. Everything about it beckons the reader to remain absorbed in its pages. The text by Claude Jacques is erudite, well-written, and very well translated. The photography by Michael Freeman is astonishingly good. Not only by virtue of his technical skills, which are considerable, but because ...

Eye-candy -- but also brain-candy
I've long been interested in the Japanese approach to design of all sorts, but especially architecture. Coming from a much different tradition, the solutions to problems and needs for shelter are often very different than those arrived at by architects with Euro-American tastes and training. Some of the examples depicted so beautifully and discussed so shrewdly in this volume are rooted strongly ...

A brief comment
I've seen a lot of books on Wright over the years, and read a number of them, but for sheer enjoyment and the celebration of his work, this work is the best I've seen. It strikes the best balance between the photos and text, but the photos are truly magnificent and worth the price of the book by themselves. Much of the information, as another reviewer has commented, is available in other books on ...

Fantastic!
This book is incredible. It gives all kinds of details ranging from local interest and lore to general information about the state. It reads like a novel and yet is very informative. Even if you have no intention of ever visiting Arizona, this is still a wonderful book to read and the photographs are breath-taking.

Well-written with deep, well developed characters
This is a fantastic book! Michael Freeman's knowledge of the culture, history, and languages, of the time period (Spanish Inquisition) is astounding. I couldn't put the book down and I thought about the characters when I wasn't reading, and long after I finished the book.

Understand why images visually work
I've been searching for this book for a long ever since seeing it at the library when I was 10. The book explains easier topics such as contrast, but it delves into far more complex topics such as balance, lighting, perspective, and color. This book is meant to be studied and reread multiple times. The examples are exquisite.

Ancient Angkor
A lovingly prepared compilation of superb color photographs, maps, history and scholarly explanations of the major world monument that is Angkor Wat. The authors thoughtfully include suggested itineraries ( ranging from one to six days ), sites ranked by interest, peak times and locations for photographing and even helpful suggestions for accomodations. A must for planning a visit to Angkor ...

And plenty of Style is achieved.
Once again we find a book under the general heading of photography where the title seeks to make a very big claim. Achieving photographic style is as difficult for the photographer as trying to define what precisely is meant by that very term is for the writer. In this fascinating book by one accomplished photographer, we are treated to the works of numerous other accomplished photographers - ...

I used this book and loved it
My husband and I were traveling by motorhome through the Southwest this winter. I bought this guide and it made our trip to New Mexico so much more meaningful. It provides exactly the kind of cultural and historical context I like to have in a very user friendly format. I have used other guides including Insight, Smithsonian, Mobil, etc. If the others in the series are as well done, this will ...

Beautiful, informative, and interesting guide
I've visited many of the temples Michael Freeman describes and have a huge soft spot for Northeast Thailand and Laos. This guide has enhanced my understanding of the places I've visited and provided some great incentives to visit more. I wish the guide had been available when I first started visiting the Khmer temples of Northeast Thailand. Michael Freeman's photographs and commentary are ...

Beautiful coffe table book
'Ancient Captials of Thailand' describes the old important cities and captials of Southern Thailand. These include Sukothai, Ayuthaya, Kampeng and several other cities. The book is beautifully illustrated with more than 350 photographs. It also provides site maps and descriptions of the different places and the major temples and structures. Thus, it's not just a 'picture book", but I can ...

The Gold Standard
You can't get a better book on FHM out there. Of all of the classes I have attended, EVERY one has quoted this book and with good reason. It is clear, concise and gives a variety of stips to review with not only apagars but also gas results. If you are wondering if you should spend this much on a book, the answer is yes.

A must-have for the beginning photographer!
I went to the library and checked out a stack of books on photography and I also borrowed The New 35mm Handbook from a friend. Since I first picked it up, it has been the only book I needed to get started as a photographer. Not only does it offer technical instruction, but it includes a variety of helpful insights into the different aspects of the photography industry. My learning was enhanced ...

It can change the way you see
IMHO, this is the best book on home or garden design I've ever seen. It contains one brilliant idea after another for adapting the ancient principles of the Japanese garden to the contemporary world. One of them I'm adapting for my a tiny space in NYC. My wife, who is a plant fanatic, cannot believe what a beautiful and haunting space can be created without any living plants at all. The ...
