Alec Campbell's African Rock Art: Paintings And Engravings On Stone, superbly and profusely illustrated with more than two hundred examples of David Coulson's color photography, spectacularly and informatively showcases Africa's rock art with examples drawn from the entire continent. The text provides the reader with an authoritative and "reader friendly" historical and interpretative analysis. Alec Campbell draws upon his many years of experience as the founder and former director of the "National Museum of Botswana", and is a resident of the area. David Coulson is founder and chairman of the "Trust for African Rock Art" and combines his special expertise with skills as a photography to provide a visual record of outstanding works, many of which are now endangered by erosion, theft, and vandalism. African Rock Art is an impressive and much appreciated addition to personal, academic and community library African art history and cultural studies collections.

After collecting my 15th Durer book I found a friend who was travelling to Germany and asked for a book IN GERMAN about Durer. The book she brought was actually the book written in english and translated to German. I was delighted! This caused me to reread the english and follow along, as best I could, with the german text. What a pleasure and an underscore to how multitalented and unenjoyed Durer is. From a precocious 12 year old {doing one of the first recognized self portaits} to a traveller of the world, seeker of perspective truth and with humor at his side {read his letters to his friend Pirckhiemer}. Jane C.Hutchinson tells a story worth reading whether you are an artist or just someone who recognizes beauty.

With other great works like Graffiti Kitchen and Alec: the King Canute Crowd, Eddie Campbell's autobiographical works are very refreshing and very unique to the comic book genre. Those that are not familiar with Eddie's works may not like his sketchy drawings but after familiarizing one's self to his works you'll see that his art is a very personal signature and works very well in his books.

In Alec: How to be an Artist, Eddie tells his story of his experiences as a comic book artist. He goes from how he first got into the business to meeting such characters as Alan Moore and also goes into how his personal life was effected: "There will come a phase in your life when you move in and out of flats so fast you're already measuring them up for a nostalgic effect on your way in." This graphic novel gives such an interesting glance at the comic book industry, and Eddie likes to "tell-all" with very personal aspects of his life that you feel very humble to be given the privilege of reading his story.(or maybe I'm just an Eddie-Campbell/ComicBook-Industry fanatic.)

It's extremely gratifying to see Eddie Campbell's Alec collected again and available on Amazon. I remember reading these comics back in the mid-80's. Self-published by photocopier, often with hand-coloured covers, they redefined for me what comics were about, and what they could be about. These intimate, real-life, semi-auto-biographical stories of an British guy, his mates, his girlfriends and his life were a revelation and have inspired a generation of comics writers and artists. If you have any interest in serious comics, then you should buy this book.

This is the best book ever written on BBQ. Authors Rich Davis (of K.C. Masterpiece BBQ sauce)and Shifra Stein have created the ALL AMERICAN BBQ BIBLE. It is simply a collection of BBQ recipes from the Midwest, Southwest, Southeast and South. Methods are clearly explained so even the most novice of the BBQ will delight in the results. Many mouth-watering side dish recipes are covered, such as sweet potato pie, many unique coleslaw and potato salads, several types of beans and cornbread. Desserts are also to-die-for! Anyone who likes Huckleberries will love this book. Huckleberry pancakes, muffins, cobblers, jelly, pie, bread and coffee cake! The Bread pudding, Cinnamon rolls and Caramel Pie get special mention. Do yourself a favor and find this book. It should be re-published so many more can enjoy and really learn to BBQ.

This book is easy to read as it is in note form. The conditions are outlined alphabetically. The book outlines the homeopathic, acupressure, nutrition, and herbal treatment for each of the conditions listed. In my opinion, it can be used by either the lay person or a professional. Easy to use and easy to read. Thanks Dr. Hassman, we needed somethng like this.

On a personal level, American Noise is the one book I take with me for vacations or long trips, it is poetry of personal escapism, and inspiration for my own writing. The book itself is composed of travel poetry and of poetry that offers precision and emotion, that paints a vivid picture of the southwest, of nonexistant wild horses in a travel guide and of standing in the shadow of the rock of gibralter without noticing, so overwhelmed with youth and exhuberance. furthermore, in my opinion, American Noise far outranks Capitalism and McGrath's newer book (Road Atlases? I forget) in terms of easily accessible beauty. This is a purchase I wholeheartedly recommend.

The Rockwell Museum in New York exhibits fine collections of western and Native American art, and Suzan Campbell's The American West is a superb collection representing some of the highlights of their holdings. Notable artists who captured the American west are explored in a fine catalog packed with color images.
