Review:This profound Carl Sagan book does not include the wonderful color illustrations as the earlier version contains. Consequently, it is like a National Graphic Magazine without the pictures.

I love the words of Dr. Sagan, but words plus the spectacular pictures truly make "music."

Following is the edition you should get. I threw away the "Pale Blue Dot" paperback I received yesterday and today ordered a used hardback:

Review:I had tried coloring once before but really didn't enjoy it. This year, with completely different circumstances, I decided to try again and this time I fell in love with it. I have purchased crayons and gel pens, now have three coloring books and I start each day coloring. I now love coloring! Read more

Review:This is a great book if you're planning on buying or building a small rural home or getaway. Even if you're not it's a fun book...but after you go thru this book you may decide "you" must have your own. Read more

Review:Especially it occurs to you the spots in the books where you are familiar with. When reading the book, you are always reviewing how we can make the city, make our surrounding area better. A simple idea, e.g. a new restaurant, a new parking lot or a new park, might not be sufficient to boost local economy and vitality. Read more

Review:LOVE this! I have always hated my handwriting so this is perfect for me to make my writing fancy. Just like the old letter tracing books you used when you were first learning to write except more advanced. Also has some blank practice pages in the back! Read more

Review:This is the Grateful Dead Bill Kreutzmann's long awaited book and it doesn't disappoint. Kreutzmann is a founding member of the Grateful Dead and was a friend of Jerry Garcia from the time he was twelve years old. Few people have known Jerry Garcia better than Bill Kreutzmann. This book is more than a history of the Grateful Dead. It is an expression of the whole Grateful Dead concept. You learn about the relationship of band members to each other and to others.

Review:I used this book in a senior-level university photography course, and it was a good read, but I feel it belongs more in a freshman class or grade school. The book is well written, and does a decent job at not being wordy where it shouldn't be, however, it's mostly basic stuff for anyone who has already experienced the fears of being an artist. Some things were new and beneficial insights for me, but a lot of it was just bringing my existing thoughts and feelings to words. Read more

Review:We are using this book for Art Appreciation. I just think "it's okay". The problem with this book is that with each chapter the same vocabulary words are repeated over and over, never teaching anything new or rarely teaching something new. The chapters are disappointing because instead of just "Chapter 1" it is broken into 1.0, 1.2, 1.3 and up to 10 which is confusing and unnecessary.
I would never pay full price for this book. I paid ten dollars with a ten dollar expedite ship. Read more

Review:This is a very thorough book when it comes to covering world art through the ages. Great for college students and a must have for anyone interested in art. Also great is the Annotated books, Mona Lisa and Arch - check them out! Read more
