This coloring books was fun for my kids and I to color. We spent a couple hours coloring. The picture weren't too detailed for my kids to enjoy. It is great for the millions of horse lovers out there.

The designs are easily adaptable to many art techniques, especially art glass and mosaic. The designs appear authentic as I have seen similar designs on pottery and other artifacts, especially the Southwest patterns

This is a very good Dover art book to show the early drawings of the Masters. All the drawings include landscapes. I bought this book to learn how the old Masters did landscapes. It was somewhat of a disappointment because the drawings are very dark and small and the details are hard to make out. Dover should use bigger paper to show landscapes. A lot is lost by the 8.5 by 11 inch paper used.

As an art instructor I found this book to be a great resource for beginning students of portrait drawing. The variety of style and technique shown is excellent. A few of the portraits were less useful. An excellent value for the price.

I love these floral designs, I find many of them make wonderful feminine accents to drapes and linens. The designs are easy to embroider and paint, and I've gotten many comments on how tasteful they look in my home. I think they are a wonderful way to put a little springtime into your craft projects.

Very nice book, all great old victorian pictures... really good buy, for all artist and lovers of Victorian images.

This book will provide a student studying Greek Drama a good understanding of Greek Tragedy by Aeschylus. Clear adaptation that can be easily read. All three plays are presented clearly with a bit of background information relating to it's original format in the Greek theatre.

This is a convenient booklet (only 64 pages) of the English alphabet in a few sets of designs available on the companion CD-ROM. I find searching for a appropriate design for use as a drop cap in a document is easier with the booklet than without. Hence I think it is very practical and useful.

However, there might be some of those images that you might want to "re-touch" as they have dots (probably due to the scanning) on them. If the publisher had rectified this, I would have rated this as five-star.

Boas gives an interesting overview of primitive art from around the world, which is surprisingly similar in many different regions... his explanation of the meanings of apparently simplistic designs will be of interest to those interested in Modern (abstract) Art, which has been very influenced by such ideas.

He has a large section dealing with the art of the Natives of North West North America, which is fascinating but heavy going. I regret however Boas didn't tackle Australian Aboriginal or Maori art in detail since both of these genres have become popular in recent times. Inevitably there are areas which have been left out of the global picture and a comparison with the "Celtic" art revival and pre-classical Europe might have been in order too.

This instruction book is loaded with easy to understand directions for beautiful strip patterns and blocks. Each project has written instructions, diagrams to show the lay-out, and a picture of the finished piece. The end result is a beautiful, old fashioned, looking quilt with charm and comfort to boot. You can't beat the price if you're looking for a quilting project book.
