Excellent Book 5 out of 5 stars.
5 of 7 people found this review helpful.

I couldn't be happier that I have this book. It explains everything that I needed to know about exposure, in such detail that a monkey could take better photos than Ansel Adams. I am so serious, If you have a DSLR, and you want to learn everything you can about it, you must have this book.

Great Book 5 out of 5 stars.
3 of 3 people found this review helpful.

I am an avid amateur digital photographer. I have read many books on exposure and techniques. This is one of the best ever. The explanations are clear, logical, and the presentation is easy to follow. A concept is explained and then one or more photographs are used to demonstrate the concept. I highly recommend this book.

Editorial Review:

Exposure can be the nemesis of photographers, but Jeff Wignall recognizes exposure as the secret for creating an image that captures a vision and shares it with the world. When you apply his techniques with patience, experimentation, and a focus on the outcome, you will begin creating images that reveal not only what you saw, but how you felt when you saw it. By learning to work with natural light as well as when to use flash you will confidently capture action, night scenes, rainbows, sunsets, and reflections like never before.

Editorial Review:

This is the bestselling Picture-A-Day travel calendar—after all, who wouldn't want to spend a year in Italy? The sun-soaked vineyards of Chianti. Lake Como, described by Wordsworth as "a treasure which the earth keeps to itself." Sweet, crunchy biscotti. A heap of yellow and green zucchini blossoms, golden vin santo, touring Venice by gondola, Rome's architectural icons, a country road flanked by cypress trees. 365 Days in Italy captures the romance, the storied history, and pure magic of this land, with photographs by Steven Rothfeld and text by Patricia Schultz, author of the New York Times bestsellers 1,000 Places to See Before You Die and 1,000 Places to See in the USA and Canada Before You Die.

Editorial Review:

Unrequited love, phobias, disappointments, regrets. Good grief! It sounds like the makings of a daytime drama. In truth, it's the inspiration behind the world's favorite comic strip. PEANUTS has the power to make us laugh at our foibles. This calendar features all the PEANUTS characters and themes that have captured our imaginations, hearts, and funny bones for so many years.

It's the late 1950s. CHARLIE BROWN's little sister, SALLY, is born. LUCY freaks out about dog germs. SNOOPY pretends to be a mountain lion. Years may go by, but this calendar's appeal is timeless. With a full-color 1950s-era Sunday strip on each spread, 2009 will be a hoot. And there is lots of space in this twelve-month weekly calendar for notes and doodles.

Editorial Review:

A mountain meadow splashed scarlet with Indian Paintbrush. A trio of Pasqueflowers. Bright Parralena bursting from a crack in parched mud, Brittlebrush blanketing a lush palm grove. Intrepid and hardy, beautiful yet fleeting, wildflowers illuminate America's landscape, from forest to field to desert to coastline. Featuring twelve species in their native habitats, Audubon Wildflowers is a showcase for nature's most extraordinary blooms.

Editorial Review:

Once upon a time, before the advent of the indie rocker and the alternative chick, before primitivism became a style trend and tattoo parlors set up shop on the good avenues, tattoos were the secret language of a restricted world, a world of criminals. The photographs, drawings and texts published here are part of a collection of 3,600 tattoos accumulated over a lifetime by prison attendant Danzig Baldayev. Tattoos were his entrance into a secret world, a world in which he acted as an ethnographer, recording the rituals of a closed society. The icons and tribal languages he documented are artful, distasteful, sexually explicit and sometimes just simply strange, reflecting as they do the lives and mores of convicts. Skulls, swastikas, harems of naked women, a smiling Al Capone, assorted demons, medieval knights in armor, daggers sheathed in blood, benign images of Christ, mosques and minarets, sweet-faced mothers and their babies, armies of tanks, and a horned Lenin--these are the signs with which this hidden world of people mark and identify themselves.

Pretty fun book 4 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

I bought this book for my friend for Christmas because she is always making lists and she loved it.

Great idea 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

Visually it looks great! Kooky illustrations on nice paper - you do want to write in this journal. Plenty of room for your ideas. The pages are headed up with list topics and you just jot down "answers". I think the idea of the book is to add to the lists over a period of time, having a giggle at your previous comments. This is something that I do think I will continue, not like a journal which I can't keep going for longer than a month!

Editorial Review:

List-makers rejoice! This quirky and imaginative guided journal is the ultimate tool for creating a unique autobiography entirely in list form. Some lists are obvious (greatest accomplishments, best friends, favorite food), others obscure (guiltiest pleasures, greatest acts of kindness, personal fashion trends), and each list is accompanied by hilarious illustrations. Listography is perfect for getting down all the details of a life less ordinary.

Glad of this release 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

I went to see an exhibition of these photos in a very exclusive gallery in London and enjoyed them very much. However the gallery was selling the 1st edition of this book for £150 and i couldn't help thinking that the only people who might have the means to afford it at that price would be people whose lifestyle was the antithesis of Hunter's. I'm glad of this non yuppie priced release and will be buying it as soon as i have a bit of spare cash.

GONZO, THE PICTURE BOOK OF DREAMS AND NIGHTMARES 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 1 people found this review helpful.

I got this for a gift a year ago and it is a brilliant well made book. If you a fan of Hunter S. Thompson you will love this and if you do love this book I have some other reading suggestions for you:

"Gonzo" by Jann S. Weener & Corey Seymour
That too also has a introduction by Johnny Depp

and "The Gonzo Way" (Coffee table book) by Anita Thompson (Hunter's former wife)

This is one of the greatest journalists that ever walked in the shadow and light on this Earth. This is a wonderful book.

Editorial Review:

Gonzo is a tour de force that will take you into the world of American writer and iconoclast Hunter S. Thompson.

Absolutely Hilarious 5 out of 5 stars.
4 of 5 people found this review helpful.

We've all seen children getting freaked out at the site of the jolly old elf, but never like this. With two-hundred and fifty photos of scared out of their mind children and Santa's who are probably counting the minutes until they get off for the night, you have an instant Christmas coffee table classic that will keep you chuckling.
The book's photos are broken down into different sections such as screamers, wriggling children, and siblings. (My personal favorite is chapter with the freaky Santas). If you're having a Blue Christmas, grab Scared of Santa for a quick lift in spirits.

Editorial Review:

He's huge and hairy and hulking.
He dresses in strange furry clothing.
He sneaks into people's homes at night.
Who wouldn't be afraid of . . . Santa Claus?!?

Nothing says Christmas quite like innocent children shrieking with terror as a stranger dressed in red drags them kicking and screaming onto his lap. Now this time-honored rite of passage is celebrated with a hilarious collection of more than two hundred and fifty priceless photos of kids' traumatic trips to Santa's workshop. Scared of Santa offers a cornucopia of photographic funnies—from sixty-year-old family heirlooms to last year's howlers—along with delightful commentary on those unforgettable childhood visits to scary ol' Saint Nick.
