Review:While the CONCEPTS of pattern design and manipulation described in this book may someday be useful to me, the actual designs the author demonstrates are largely beyond the bizzare, and the fabrics she chooses may show off the design, but many look like uncomfortable upolstery or home dec fabrics. I suppose if one aspires to do costuming for futuristic science-fiction movies,this book may be more valuable. Read more

Review:Needed the next upgrade for our daughter's music lessons, and I didn't feel like trapcing around from store to store to get her books. Where else to look? Why Amazon, of course! It arrived, lickety-split, and she was happily playing for her teacher in no time. Highly recommend this not only as a great lesson plan, but a great way to order! Read more

Review:I loved this book. I truly enjoyed taking a peek inside people that are long forgotten. Each photo has so much to say. Chapter 5 about Janet Lee made me shed tears. I still go back to that chapter and have a million questions that I with I could get answers to. Read more

Review:Loved the timespan and perspectives-amazing how Judd, even at a young age, was able to engage in such a personal way. His interviews remind me of why Howard Stern's interviews really work-personal and engaging -they are both truly interested in what makes people tick. Thanks for a great read! Read more

Review:Nice mix of people/outfits and gadgets in each picture. Paper is thick and my gel pens don't bleed through. Great for the value price. Will continue to buy more of their books as they are the best I've found for the price and quality. Read more

Review:Liked the practical approach, showing good/bad plates that help a beginner click and learn how to judge light set up. And the categories/functions for additional lights. Excellent grounding for newbies! Read more

Review:An absolute classic. Everything you ever wanted to know about design with human well-being at the core. I continually use it for reference. If only our architects and planners used this as their bible!! Read more

Review:This is an absolute wonderful read. Marky Ramone gives great detail of his life as a Ramone, and before he became part of the legendary punk band. For me, as a younger listener, who was born in the 80's, and can vaguely remember the videos, it's great to read about his life then and now and see what it was like to experience the punk era and to work with people like Dee Dee, Joey, and Johnny, whose personalities seemed to clash. Marky seemed to be the person to calm everyone down.

Review:For all his intent to not commercialize his art, and an intention cheered and supported by his many fans (like minded individuals), the desire to own copies of these and to read the few words that allow us to hear his thoughts -- it is a must have. Read more

Review:Adorable book! Just cannot get off of my hands! Some photos just remind me of my dogs, Chocolate and Cookie, the chocolate lab and golden retriever. I agree that some story should be told more, but It is a great job to be his first book. I recommend to all my friends and want to give it all my support! Love it! Read more
