During my first year of Graduate school towards earning my MFA I was asked if I had ever heard of Ida Appleboorg. I admitted that I had never heard of her and asked what she did. After a brief conversation ending with me writing down her name and promising I would look into her work I went to the university's library. They had a couple books and I spent hours pouring through them over and over until I knew I wanted to see more.

I ordered this book and have about worn it out. First it is a beautiful full color book with a beautiful format. It contains both installation and individual views of her work. I really was able to get a sense of the artist and how she paints. It is a beautiful book and a broad introduction to a great contemporary artist. What a role model for young female artists.

The Long Journey is a great book. Barbara Corcoran has created wonderful characters and a suspenseful plotline that all readers will love. The writing is so real that you can feel every single thing that is going on in Laurie's mind throughout the story. Perfect for a cold winter's day in fornt of the fire. :-)

Laurie is 13 years old and lives with her grandfather (her parents died when she was young) in the abandoned mining town of Hawkins Dry Diggins, Montana. Once, the town had been thriving, but when it was discovered that there was no gold in any of the mines, it was quickly abandoned by all except Lauri and her father. Now, you will get to follow Lauri and her horse on an adventure throughout rural Montana that is filled with suspense and excitement. I absolutely loved this book and all of the characters in it. Be sure to read The Long Journey if you can find it. You won't be disappointed!! :-)

This very beautiful book is a good introduction to Manuel Neri's sculptures, but it is also cherished by those who have followed his career for years.

The book is filled with fantastic photographs! The elegant photographs of his work (going back to the 50's) are magnificent. It is an art in itself to photograph sculpture, and I am sorry to say that my search for the photographer's name ended in frustration. He or she deserves a lot of credit.

There are also wonderful snapshots from Neri's life, with many nice photos of the artist with second wife Joan Brown (see Tsujimoto, Karen: The Art of Joan Brown). It's a real slice of an exciting era in west coast art: the 50's, 60's and 70's.

What Neri has done for figurative art covers a greater scope than that of the San Francisco Bay Area, yet he is firmly part of the Bay Area figurative tradition. All the contributors speak of the atmosphere into which Neri arrived as an art student, but particularly Beardsly places him in a unique, thriving artists' society. He does this by writing about how Neri's relationships with Joan Brown and Mark DeSuvero impacted his work; their images live and breathe with profundity in certain of Neri's sculptures (shown with the text).

The book is divided in two: the artist's work and the artist's life; both are compelling enough, it would have been unwise to mix them. The book is very well organized.

Neri's work may at first appear too rough to the eye that only knows Rodin and Donatello, but a second look will discover the grace and energy the artist creates in every work. It is a great book for anyone interested in figurative art. Neri's studies and drawings are quite beautiful by themselves... A great book for any artist who enjoys capturing the figure, either the one who just likes to dabble in life drawing or the serious and technically-minded draftsman. Anyone at all can find in Neri's work a new way to look at line and the figure. Also great for anyone who wants to get to know Bay Area art.

This book features quilts as described in the above review. There are simple and challenging projects. All the projects show a completed quilt top which feature a range of colour themes, with an emphasis on bold contrasts and strong colours. There is an introduction covering the basics of piecing and quilting as well as quick sew methods.

My Group of Friends and I have just started a Match Play Tournament and I purchased this book just in time to read before the tournament. I was giving up 5 and a half shots and still won my match 4 and 3. I credit this book with a lot of that success. The small things that you would never realize about strategy in Match Play are in this book, and so much more. You will not be disappointed.

Sasha, My Friend is a wonderful story about wolf/dog and the youngster who becomes his constant companion. The book is spellbinding to a school age child, and it stands out as the most marvelous book of my elementary school years. The book is well written, full of adventure, and unpredictable. I would recommend Sasha, My Friend highly, without reservation.

This book shows his master of the darkroom, making all his works unique to themselves. If you are into black & white photography and printing this book is a revelation of what is possible.

The author's style and language are right for the young adult audience it is intended for. I especially like the way the author switches the point of view between Stevie and Eddie without confusing the reader. I think that this is a very effective way to make the book more interesting. Throughout the book, unexpected things happen. It creates a very suspenseful mood. One minute Stevie, Eddie and Fawn are at the train station and the next minute they are in New Hampshire. I never know what is going to happen and I like that. My favorite part is when the kids meet Alex, a teenager who helps them out by taking them to New Hampshire and leting them stay with him.
