Good for inspirations 4 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

The book brings a good source of inspirations for baby's pages. There are lots of ideas and smart tips. For those who are not looking for step-by-step instructions or how-to-dos, the book might be a good deal to have. I bought it brand new and without any recommendations, just went by the title and the KODAK Book name, but I liked it! I am actually scrapbooking my baby's photos and this one definitely came to enrich my pages.

This is for those who aren't into cute, cartoony looking scrapbooks. I have never really gotten into scrapbooking before, because the examples I've seen just aren't my style. This book has changed my attitude 180 degrees. If you love beautiful, elegant artwork, this book will inspire you. Anyone familiar with the magazine Somerset Studio will feel right at home. Your memory albums don't have to be childish or tacky...buy this book!

2 of 3 people found this review helpful.

This new 128 page 8 1/2 x 11" fully color illustrated book takes you beyond the basics in how to save your family photos, memorabilia and histories. A very helpful book that guides you step-by-step on how to photo tinting, paper embossing, photo transferring, making greeting cards, puzzles and time capsules. Every topic is clearly described and every page contains very large, full color completed photos of each project. Each project provides the list of supplies needed and a simple step-by-step description of what to do. There are chapters on: home and family, heritage, travel and vacations, babies, holidays, sports, kids, weddings, nature and scenery, school, celebrations, memory gifts and more. Wow ! Just seeing the photos makes you want to act on the boxes of stuff you have sitting in the closet gathering dust. A truly great book that is part of the Public Television Series. Very useful.

Editorial Review:

Detailed instructions and beautiful photos will guide the beginner as well as the experienced scrapbooker in turning plain photo pages into treasured family keepsakes. The book details the projects, tips, and techniques demonstrated in the PBS TV show of the same name. 200 color photos.

Excellent 4 out of 5 stars.
12 of 12 people found this review helpful.

I wanted a good basic book on scrapbooking. In the meantime, I found this book is the basis of a PBS program of the same title. I would highly recommend it for a beginner, or even for the experienced scrapper. I refer to it time and again for ideas.

comprehensive, varied approach to modern scrapbooking 4 out of 5 stars.
10 of 10 people found this review helpful.

I have several scrapbooking idea/resource books & this is one of my favorites. It covers the basics comprehensively which is essential for the beginner and refreshing for the advanced enthusist. The chapters are inclusive of most all scrapbooking 'occassions.' Heritage, Home & Family, Cropping Parties, Holidays, Babies, Sports & Leisure, Weddings, etc... The techniques are suprisingly varied because of the many contributors, so all the layouts do not look the same! Included in each chapter is an appropriate font example. Near the end there is also a photo gift chapter. If you're only planning to buy one idea/resource book for your hobby right now, this would be the one to get. I turn to it more than all the others.

Editorial Review:

This large, elegantly produced volume reflects the eclectic tastes and ardent enthusiasms of one man, Alan Siegel, whose illustrious private collection of photographs rivals that of many museums. Truly one of the stunning volumes of photography to appear in recent years, One Man's Eye features 120 masterworks by Diane Arbus, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Man Ray, Robert Mapplethorpe, Robert Adams, Ezra Stoller, Robert Frank, Irving Penn, Walker Evans, Erwin Blumenfeld, Edward Weston, and many important contemporary photographers, including Jan Groover, Tina Barney, Zeke Berman, Tom Baril, Lynn Davis, and Michael Spano.

Many of the images shown here have never been published before. The texts include an introduction to the collection by noted photography historian Robert A. Sobieszek, a discussion of how the Siegel collection was formed over the past 25 years, and commentaries on the individual works by the man whose singular eye gives this work its focus.

ROBERT A. SOBIESZEK is curator of photography at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. For over 30 years, he has lectured and published widely on the art and history of photography, and has organized over 50 exhibitions.

ALAN SIEGEL is chairman and CEO of Siegelgale, a strategic marketing firm. He studied photography with Alexei Brodovitch and Lisette Model before embarking on a successful career in design and advertising. An avid collector of photography since the early 1960s, he serves on the Board of Trustees of the International Center of Photography and The Center for Communications, and is a member of the photography committee at the Museum of Modern Art.

MILES BARTH was the founding curator of the permanent collection at the International Center of Photography. A leading authority on contemporary photography, he has written a number of books and has organized numerous photography exhibitions.
