Hollywood Comics, 2006

A Good Year for Shadowmen
This series is getting better and better. It thrives on the funny, adventurous, or uncanny parings of pop culture characters and the crossovers are getting more entertaining as they get more audacious! It is interesting to see how many of the stories are now showing the shadowy influence of the Black Coats, (a vast criminal conspiracy from the stories of Paul Feval.) There are also several nods ...

The Marquis: Danse Macabre

The macabre in The Marquis
Guy Davis' The Marquis shows a side of the comic book world I wasn't expecting. Sure I knew that Guy was a talented artist (Sandman Mystery Theatre & BPRD) but this comic broke down my vision of what a comic should be. With an interesting mystery mixed with demons and a crisis of faith, Danse Macabre has it all. If you like Mignola's Hellboy or any supernatural Vertigo title then you'll love The ...

A delightful little book
I stumbled across this little gem (by the author of "The English Patient") while browsing the dual-language (French-English, in this case) section of a local bookstore. The premise: A dance where individuals who match certain requirements must retire from the dance floor. For example: "Women who've had to give up the accordion because of pinched breasts."

Ballet Photography At Its Best From One Of The Best In Photography
Do you enjoy ballet photography? Are you a fan of David Hamilton? Do you enjoy classical music? Are you a fan of Rudolf Nureyev? If you are a fan of one or all of them, you'll want to own this fine collectible publication. I recently purchased a copy and find it to be of top quality in terms of professionalism in photography. The original La Danse, which, I believe was published in 1974? ...

The life and times of a scoundrel poet
As a poet living in Paris during 15th century, Francois Villon did not leave a large literary legacy (about 3300 lines). His work rarely appears in anthologies. Perhaps because of the graphic sexual subject matter of some poems, few risked faithful translation of his work until the past twenty years. Not that Villon was a hack. After all, this is the author of one of the widely quoted lines ...

Ballet Photography By Famed Photographer David Hamilton
David Hamilton is most known for his photography of young females in the nude, but in this fine publication you will find none of that!!! Only superb photography of girls in ballet. The one I own is a first edition, and it is exquisite. Page after page of charming vibrant girls in various ballet attire. There are various models used There is also a short portfolio of famed ballet dancer Rudolf ...

Brillant comme toujours
Le retour de Mark Vorkosigan. Le frère de Miles usurpe son identité dans une mission pour sauver les esclaves du système corrompu. Le conflit entre le deux frère est très bien décrit par l'auteure. Très bon livre. Fortement recommandé.

Dead rats in Lucite
"Danse Macabre" should have been subtitled "Horror Fiction in Cinema, TV, and Books: 1950 - 1979" so that Stephen King's fiction fans wouldn't accidentally pick it up and start reading it. They might be horribly disappointed. At what is supposed to be the climax of this nonfiction book, at the sentence in which the author is summing up everything he has been trying to teach us for 397 pages, ...

Collaboratively compiled and edited by Jeff Pew and Stephen Roxborough, Radiant Danse Uv Being: A Poetic Portrait Of Bill Bissett celebrates the life and influence of Canadian poet Bill Bissett with contributions by more than 80 poets. Varying from simple free-verse to stream-of-consciousness to a gridlike array of words in blocks, these brief poems reflect Bill Bissett's avant-garde influence, ...

Gary Romain

Gallimard-Jeunesse, 1999

La Danse de Gengis Cohn by Romain Gary
This book is a gem of post war Jewish literature. Romain Gary, born in Russia and raised in France, was a cosmopolitan figure, and at one time was married to the actress Jean Seberg. Gary's work is insightful and sprinkled with a black humour that gives you goose bumps. How did the perpetrators of Nazi atrocities live with themselves after the war? The anti-hero of this book is haunted by the ...

Danse Ce Soir Bok/CD Set
after 3 tries, finally got this order, only to find the CD doesn't play all it's tracks. the book is a little hard to follow; I'd recommend putting it in a spiral binding so the pages will stay open without breaking the spine.

Camille Saint-Saens

Dover Publications, 1998

Wonderful for bookbinders.
1: The music is REALLY hard. Saint-Saens was not an easy man. 2: Franz Liszt isn't that great at transcribing this title piece. 3: Everything else is great though. It hasn't happened yet, but I sense that the book is going to fall apart soon. So learn bookbinding and keep it in BETTER condition for cheap.

International Guild of Danse De Rue Savate, 1998

Excellent introduction to Savate
This book introduces one to the European Martial Art of Savate Danse de Rue. Savate is known for its kicking techinques but the book also reveals the use of weapons, grappling, and other techniques of the art. It shows the basic techniqes clear, although the photos are a little dark, and explains how they are preformed. It is one of the few books in English on Savate and the only one to ...

3.5 Stars -- Liked it but couldn't relate
I have to admit, I'm getting a little tired of some parts of these books. But then, I've now read, what, fourteen of them? I have to think there would be elements of any series that would get tiresome after that many books. I know I got sick of the Aes Sedai in the Wheel of Time, and of Rand trying to make himself hard as stone, and of the regular theme of the battle of the sexes, and several ...

great!
I just recieved this book, and it's my new favorite! I have his last book which I also loved. This time around, the flavor of the design is a lot more diverse. The large size, the nice thick paper, the beautiful photos, and the great way the pictures are layed out make this book an important book to have in your design library. Even if you're not familiar with this designers work, you will ...
