Then there's this small, slick little book, presenting each and every case study house, in order, editorially excellent through and through. An outstanding summary of an under-documented era of modern architecture, one with a crucially democratic agenda. $9.99. The book itself represents the case study ...             The Circus: 1870-19502 reviews Taschen, 2008 CIRCUS 1870 --- 1950 THE PHOTOGRAPHS ARE WELL WORTH THE PRICE FOR THIS BOOK NO WORDS CAN DESCRIBE THEM....THE ONLY DRAWBACK A GREAT AMOUNT OF THE TEXT IS FRENCH And GERMAN AND THERE ARE SOME PHOTOS THAT GO BEYOND 1950 WHICH IS GREAT....ANY CIRCUS FAN WOULD ENJOY....A VERY LARGE BOOK BRIEFCASE SIZE AND WEIGHS ABOUT 20 LBS.             Ando: Complete Works (Taschen Spring)4 reviews Philip Jodidio Taschen, 2007 Comprehensive and well-presented Content wise, it is very similar to Ando (Taschen Basic Architecture series) - a smaller format paperback. In fact, the two books share many photos. This book adds lots of hand drawings and CAD illustrations to complement the photos and to help readers understand the perspective. But don't take me wrong, this is not a textbook, this is a well-designed coffee-table book that you can enjoy reading ...             Gil Elvgren: All His Glamorous American Pin-Ups (Taschen 25th Anniversary Special Editions)21 reviews Charles G Martignette, Louis K Meisel Taschen, 2008 Interesting Book I'm still studying and reading through it, but it has an interesting magic that's missing in many of today's similar subjects - innocence.             Art Now! 2 (25th Anniversary Special Edtn)4 reviews Taschen, 2008 Keep Pace with the Changing Art Scene What is 'contemporary art' - a question whose answer changes almost on a daily basis - is the topic that floods the pages of this every fine Taschen Book. Edited by Uta Grosenick this generously illustrated volume is about as democratic as a survey can be. The artists discussed are those before the public today and are presented in the alphabetical listing that precludes lumping them into ...             Big Book of Breasts27 reviews Dian Hanson Taschen, 2006 A Massive Collection of Great Photos! This is the ultimate coffee table book! A big, beautiful book of big, beautiful, all-natural breasts. This giant collection of nudes (420 pages!!!) runs the gamut from 1940's cheesecake to 1980's glamour. And every model is all-natural and silicone-free. This book is an unabashed celebration of curvaceous beauty that almost anyone will enjoy, but connoisseurs of well endowed women will absolutely ...             The Polaroid Book: Selections from the Polaroid Collections of Photography (Taschen's 25th Anniversary ...8 reviews Taschen, 2008 What a SEXY book!!! WOW... words can't even begin to describe how much I love this book! It's about time they released a book like this! And the wrapper of this book is genius! It looks like a gigantic box of Polaroid film... I didn't even want to remove the cover at first... I fondled it for awhile and then I slowly peeled it off and curled up on the couch for an hour or two and looked at all the pretty pictures. ...             LaChapelle, Heaven to Hell (Photo Books)6 reviews Taschen, 2006 Best Photographer/Artist since Warhol Love Lachapelle, pretty much an insane genius. His work is sexy, provocative, alluring, disturbing, insane, kinky, risqué, all while being too hot to handle... the book is so chock full of fun that a normal person can't look through the entire thing in one sitting without their head exploding. If only one day I can become him... Lachapelle if you are reading this, let me be your apprentice!             Ed Fox: Glamour from the Ground Up4 reviews Taschen, 2008 Ed Fox, Glamour from the Ground Up Another great publication for Taschen Books. Ed Fox takes erotic photography to a new level of imagery and fine art. A must see for any fan of the female form.             Cabinet of Natural Curiosities: The Complete Plates in Colour, 1734-17656 reviews Taschen, 2005 quality artwork from a time gone by The old prints are just beautiful. Before photographs, books like these had hand painted reproductions of the animals. The detail is amazing. One can only imagine how long it must have taken to prepare these works.And collect the specimens.Check out the 7 headed hydra! And cheers to Taschen for another beautiful art book.             The Curse of Lono26 reviews Hunter S. Thompson Taschen, 2005 An unknown classic This books is probably the least well-known of HST's books. But it was a very pleasant surprise upon reading it. It is classic Thompson, self-destructive, paranoid, and hilarious. If you take his word for it, you might never visit Hawaii yourself!             New Paris Interiors1 review Taschen, 2008 How the other half lives... I'm going to love poring over this book over and over again. It's impossible to look through it all at once, anyway, it's so big and the visual onslaught is overwhelming. Being a middle-class, Great Plains middle-aged person, I will never see these apartments and rooms myself, but it's fun to see how world-class artists, musicians, actors, directors, designers and financiers like to decorate ...             Terryworld (Taschen 25th Anniversary)6 reviews Taschen, 2008 Terror-World! Terry's world might be, hell, it's MEANT to be a little scary for alot of people! Not in the sense of depicting violence or even real depravity but rather in the near-apocalypitc vulgarity with which it depicts post modern-hedonism, where sexual pleasure is about as idealized as a Tijuana donkey-show. A man, laying half-passed-out on a bed, is seen puking, Terry (who appears in many of his ...             Pop Art (Taschen 25th Anniversary)3 reviews Tilman Osterwold Taschen, 2007 Comprehensive and colorful First, an admission: I judge books about pop art mainly by the pictures. And by that measure, this book offers one of the broadest and most pleasing collection of pop art pieces to be found between two covers. The large 9-1/2" x 12" format allows for excellent reproduction of the art with ample detail. The vast majority of the photos are in color, and the few that aren't don't suffer greatly ...             Africa1 review Taschen, 2007 Sin palabras Un excelente libro de un fotógrafo excepcional.
