As an avid fashion fanatic, I was very interested in acquiring this book. Thierry Mugler is amazing in every sense. The pages are crisp and the images are beautiful. I liked how the book was divided into sections by his different "periods" and styles of clothing.

Glad I bought it Reading Robert Lawlors book took me out of a classroom and into a discussion of the origins of mathematics. Just enough details to all the material covered, making it a breath of fresh air to others stodgy presentations.             The Maya, Seventh Edition (Ancient Peoples and Places)24 reviews Michael D. Coe Thames & Hudson, 2005 Informative Book on Maya History and Culture This book contains a lot of information, but it is written in a way that should be accessible to most. Coe, as the author and someone who has contributed so much to knowledge of the subject himself, adds a personal touch to it. He always attempts to present multiple theories on subjects of controversy and lets the reader decide which is most likely instead of trying to force one interpretation.             The Hermes Scarf: History & Mystique2 reviews Nadine Coleno Thames & Hudson, 2010 beautiful- I am not a fan of hermes, so I got surprised to receive this book as a present. In fact it was an excellent surprise,; the designs of the scarves are beautiful, original, full of imagination, sometimes witty,or classic- lot of details to enjoy. An extra information regarding the making of the scarves, their design origins would have been welcome. Overall a great book for anyone who likes design ...             Creative Advertising, New Edition30 reviews Mario Pricken Thames & Hudson, 2008 A delight This book covers the past on advertising, why ideas are good, how they're created, and has a vast amount of questions you can work through to create your own adverts. I have this on my lounge table, it's good to flick through and guests like it too. What it doesn't really cover is the new age of advertising as in social networking and complex new technology campaigns. No book can cover the ...             Legionary: The Roman Soldier's (Unofficial) Manual (Unofficial Manuals)18 reviews Philip Matyszak Thames & Hudson, 2009 Nice summary of everything you knew or want to know on the roman army I am not a huge reader, but for this book I made an exception. Over the years, you are bombarded with large and heavy books on roman armies. But this one is a nice summary, and it is written in a typical cheak in tongue language. This makes it simply fun reading. I was even able to read it with childern "playing".             An Illustrated Dictionary of the Gods and Symbols of Ancient Mexico and the Maya9 reviews Mary Miller, Karl Taube Thames & Hudson, 1997 An excellent book: A "MUST BUY" -- *VERY* COMPREHENSIVE; an excellent book: A "MUST BUY" Anyone serious about understanding the Aztec mind and social order should read both "Time and Sacrifice in the Aztec Cosmos" (K. A. Read) and also, "THE JADE STEPS" by Burr Cartwright Brundage (University of Utah Press; (c)1985; ISBN# 0-87480-247-4). FYI, Dr. Brundage has authored nearly a dozen extraordinarily well written and ...             The Most Beautiful Villages of Tuscany27 reviews James Bentley, Hugh Palmer Thames & Hudson, 1997 Favorite coffe table books This is a beautiful book. If you cannot visit these places, this is the next best thing. It was used, but you can not tell...it was in perfect shape.             The True History of Chocolate, Second Edition16 reviews Sophie D. Coe, Michael D. Coe Thames & Hudson, 2007 Yum I love chocolate. Honestly, I don't know anyone in my circle of friends who doesn't. so when I saw that there was an entire book dedicated to discussing it, well... it was a short walk to the counter. This is a fascinating history. I didn't read the second edition, but I can't imagine it's too different from the first, which was a quick and easy read, and full of entertaining anecdotes.             The Photograph as Contemporary Art (World of Art)14 reviews Charlotte Cotton Thames & Hudson, 2009 I love this book so much that I bought this second edition for my student This is a great survey of the themes that have emerged in contemporary photography. Very easy to read and understand, but by no means a superficial survey. An excellent text for beginning traditional or digital photography students.             Edward Steichen: In High Fashion: The Cond Nast Years 1923-19372 reviews William A. Ewing Thames & Hudson, 2010 Outstanding! This is an outstanding book, and really shows how Steichen contributed so much to what we think of as fashion and glamor photography. The reproduction of the photos is excellent. Because these photos originally appeared in magazines, I would bet that they look better here than they did in those original publications. There's not a lot of text, but what there is is certainly informative and ...             The Advertising Concept Book6 reviews Pete Barry Thames & Hudson, 2008 Amazing Inspiration I am advertising major at Columbus College of Art and Design, and this book has helped so much in many ways.             An Illustrated Encyclopaedia of Traditional Symbols9 reviews J.

Extremely interesting and very thorough.             The Complete Gods and Goddesses of Ancient Egypt7 reviews Richard H. Wilkinson Thames & Hudson, 2003 Easy to Read but Packed with up-to-date Details I agree with the other reviewers - beautifully illustrated, mostly in full color. It is comprehensive yet particularly the first half of the book is easy to read in it's entirety. The first part of the book covers general concepts of Egyptian Religion and the deities. The second covers individual deities in detail. I had been looking for a book on Ancient Egyptian religion and deities which ...             Rare Bird of Fashion: The Irreverent Iris Apfel14 reviews Eric Boman, Iris Apfel Thames & Hudson, 2007 ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS!!! This book is so beautifully prepared, executed,and full of rich color combinations, fashion design ideas and inspiration on so many levels.

A must read publication for all aspiring ...             The Complete Roman Army27 reviews Adrian Goldsworthy Thames & Hudson, 2003 Comparatively slender volume, but packed with useful information The author is an expert in Roman military matters with several previous works to his credit, and even though he's an academic, his style is exceptionally readable without being oversimplified or talking down to the reader. He begins with the origins of the citizen army under the early Republic, made up of soldiers who volunteered as a matter of patriotism. This worked fine for several centuries, ...             Paintings in Proust: A Visual Companion to In Search of Lost Time15 reviews Eric Karpeles Thames & Hudson, 2008 paintings in proust Wonderful publication and a great companion to Proust's novel.
