books about: galleries     books:       The China Garden120 reviews Liz Berry Gallery 41 Books, 2005 deeply fabulous Oh, I love this book. I first came across it when a friend lent it to me. That was in 2004. I still have the book. While I am planning on giving it back to her (soon, I swear) I bring up this embarrassing story just to point out what holding power this book has. At this point, I've read it so many times that I don't remember what my initial reaction was. Every time I reread it, though, ...             Cat Page-A-Day Gallery Calendar 200827 reviews Workman Publishing Company Workman Publishing Company, 2007 A daily delight I've been a fan of the Cat Page-a-Day Calender for years now. It makes every morning worth waking up for! Even my own cat approves.             The Americans28 reviews Steidl/National Gallery of Art, Washington, 2008 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 ...             A Book of Photographs from Lonesome Dove (Wittliff Gallery Series)23 reviews Bill Wittliff University of Texas Press, 2007 For the Love of Gus I've been in love with Gus since the Mini series and now have him in these wonderful photos. This book is awesome. You can almost hear "Laurie Darlin", and the smells of the trail. The book is dedicted to Pea Eye which was very nice. Thanks to the author.             I Never Saw Another Butterfly: Children's Drawings & Poems from Terezin Concentration Camp,1942-4424 reviews Hana Volavkova Schocken, 1993 Butterfly wings Only three of the poets and authors whose work is represented in this volume survived the Nazi Holocaust. These works, however, are no more dead than the wings of butterflies mounted in a natural history museum. They fly: They give the children voices for all time---not just the authors and poets' voices, but the voices of all 14,900 children who perished in Terezin from the arrival of ...             The Far Side Gallery26 reviews Gary Larson Bt Bound, 1999 Original 1984 Gallery of Masterpieces Will Never Go Out of Fashion Larson's original gallery has so many classic Far Side cartoons that you can not justify not owning this sensational collection of his work. Larson may well have retired a while ago but the power of these works of brilliance to make the reader laugh will never fade. There have been many who have copied Larson's style but I have never come across anyone else who has even come close to achieving ...             Cat Gallery Calendar 2007 (Page-A-Day Gallery Calendars)34 reviews Workman Publishing Company Workman Publishing Company, 2006 Meeooowwzaaa!

You have to see it!             Rescuing Da Vinci: Hitler and the Nazis Stole Europe's Great Art - America and Her Allies Recovered It27 reviews Robert M. Edsel Laurel Publishing, LLC, 2006 Wonderful Gift, Wonderful Book! I was really surprised by this book. I thought it was going to contain more text but it's really all about the art and the people who rescued it. The result is a very impressive, easily readable 'coffee table' style book that's beautiful and informative. Teachers should grab this up for the classroom and it also would make a great gift for anyone interested in WWII and it's aftermath. I can't say ...             Easy Freedom23 reviews Liz Berry Gallery 41 Books, 2001 FYI - book availability For those desperate to own copies of Easy Connections or Easy Freedom, you can now order reasonably priced paperback copies from www.Amazon.co.uk (British Amazon) or directly from Liz Berry at http://lizberrybooks.com/id30.htm.

I've been obsessed with these books for 20 years!             Tibetan Buddhist Altars: A Pop-Up Gallery of Traditional Art and Wisdom13 reviews Tad Wise, Robert Beers, ... New World Library, 2004 Pop-Up Introduction to Tibetan Buddhism Tibetan Buddhism is intimidating in its complexity. Despite the Dalai Lama's accessible,user-friendly books about happiness and compassion, it remains exotic with its visualizations, mantras, and imagery. "Tibetan Buddhist Altars:A Pop-Up Gallery of Traditional Art and Wisdom" is a colorful and surprisingly reverent introduction to Tibetan Buddhism. The "portable altars" are to Shakyamuni ...             Dog Page-A-Day Gallery Calendar 200817 reviews Workman Publishing Company Workman Publishing Company, 2007 For the Love of Dogs This calender is for those that love all types of dogs. Not only are the pictures of the animals great, but the quality of the calendar is superb. The prints are on heavy constructed paper and are supported by the plastic holder that lets you easily view each day. For each picture there are wonderful quotes from famous, non-famous, and anonymous dog lovers. Finally, enjoy the double sided ...             Garden Gallery: The Plants, Art, and Hardscape of Little and Lewis15 reviews George Little, David Lewis Timber Press, Incorporated, 2005 For the avid gardener What a wonderful, inspirational book. For the already accomplished gardener, this is a book not so much about "how to", as it is full of the great ideas and very personal vision of the author. Imaginative and full of pictures. I can't imagine a better gift if you have a gardener on your Christmas list.             The Sopranos: A Family History22 reviews Allen Rucker NAL Hardcover, 2000 A Fortuitous Discovery I'm a big Opera fan, and my grandmother bought me this book because she thought it was about great Italian singers. You can imagine my disappointment when I realized this book was about the characters from a TV show focusing on the Mafia. I don't have a TV, so I'd never seen the "Sopranos" show. Reading about something I had no knowledge of, or interest in, seemed dumb at first, but I had the ...             Love Starts with Elle16 reviews Thomas Nelson, 2008 A must read for romance lovers... I love a good romance and this one did not disappoint. I just finished Sweet Caroline a few days ago wishing that it had a sequel. I was pleasantly surprised to find it did! Love Starts with Elle picks up with characters we met in Sweet Caroline. I think one of the things I like so much about these books are the secondary characters who are so alive with their own stories. From ...             Horses of the Sun : A Gallery of the World's Most Exquisite23 reviews Robert Vavra William Morrow, 1995 FANTASTIC!!!!!!! I WISH I HAD KNOWN ABOUT THIS GUY BACK WHEN I HAD MY HORSE!! HE MUST LOVE THE ANIMALS BECAUSE, HE PHOTOGRAPHS THEM SO, WELL!! HE FOCUSES ON THE EYES OF THE ANIMALS IN MANY PICTURES AS IF, HE IS LOOKING AT THEIR SOULS!!! I DO NOT REGRET PURCHASING THIS BOOK AT ALL!!!!!!!!! I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS TO EVERYONE WHO LOVES HORSES!!!!! SHIRLEY GREER             Rick Steves' Europe Through the Back Door 2003: The Travel Skills Handbook for Independent Travelers (Rick ...13 reviews Rick Steves Avalon Travel Publishing, 2002 Great travel advice Rick Steves is a total nut job wacko (I met him once in one of his recommended hotels in Paris!), but this is hands down the greatest travel advise I can possibly imagine. The Rick Steves style of travel is not for everyone (my mother-in-law for example) but by using the advise in this book, most people should have a fabulous European vacation. This book is filled with great advise to ...             Concerning the Spiritual in Art13 reviews Wassily Kandinsky TATE GALLERY PUBLISH, 2006 "to break the bonds which bind". . . "to an impoverishment of possibility" Kandinsky had risen to positions of influence in other disciplines (political science/economics and law) before directing his considerable intellect to painting. His insights extended into the historic 'meta' trends of the arts and sciences, including the physical sciences, and had his interests been directed more to the history and philosophy of science instead of the history and philosophy of ...             Smoothies! The Original Smoothie Book, Vol. 117 reviews Dan Titus Juice Gallery, 2000 An excellent recipe guide for making smoothies Now in a second printing, Smoothies!: The Original Smoothie Book by nutritional advocate and "smoothie" expert Dan Titus, is an excellent recipe guide for making smoothies that are just like those of such famous smoothie stores as "Jamba Juice" and "Smoothie King". Profiles of famous smoothie companies, basic "how to" instructions, detailed recipes for smoothies of every flavor, and a balance of ...             Defending the Undefendable: The pimp, prostitute, scab, slumlord, libeler, moneylender and other scapegoats ...19 reviews Walter Block Fox & Wilkes, 1991 The hard lessons are the best lessons! Walter Block, or "Doc Block", as I like to call him, provides a solid and refreshing application of the most basic laws of freedom to areas previously avoided by those who claim to support it. What Block does that makes this book unique is exactly what he purports to do in the description. He teaches the lessons of liberty by analyzing the actions of those who are supposedly less worthy of ...              search for books american, americans, buddhist, butterfly, calendars, concentration, concerning, defending, drawings, exquisite, handbook, hardscape, independent, lonesome, moneylender, original, page-a-day, photographs, prostitute, recovered, rescuing, scapegoats, slumlord, smoothie, smoothies, sopranos, spiritual, traditional, travelers, undefendable books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
