Customer Reviews:
Worthless.......2005-09-20
I thought this book was worthless and a waste of my time. It covered the obvious. I was expecting to see more remodeling ideas.
Very Useful.......2003-09-13
We are working on doing an addition to our home. We were floundering in making decisions until we came across this book. This book has pictures and ideas and before and after photos and drawings. All of this has been useful in making some decisions before we begin spending money on a contractor, architect or supplies. The text of this book is as helpful if not more so than the pictures. The text discusses types of addition, things to consider, and so on.
I would strongly suggest that anyone thinking of doing an addition consider reading this book before doing anything.
Well worth the money.
Pretty basic, but plenty of good advice.......2002-10-12
The kitchen volume of this series is much more detailed. Since there are lots of different types of additions for lots of different reasons, it's hard to get into much detail in one book. Still, the advice it does dispense strikes me as sound. It includes a checklist of things you will need to look after if you decide to act as your own contractor, or just check up on if you hire a contractor.
tis is a fine book for those in the early stages of planning an addition who have no experience of such matters.
Just what we needed.......2000-09-22
Just what we were looking for, this great little book has lots of color photos and lots of info to help my wife and me decide what kind of addition might be right for our house. We don't want to build an addition ourselves but want to get a basic plan in mind before going to an architect or builder. Thanks to the advice in this book, we think we now have a good plan in mind for an addition that won't look tacked on but will look as if it belongs to the house.
Additions: Your Guide To Planning and Remodeling.......2000-08-09
I found this book to be a helpful overview of the many consideratons that must be taken when considering an addition. There were many examples of different before and after floorplans, as well as photographs of beautifully done additions. There are different types of additions listed along with examples, and checklists to use as you progress.

The Voice of Inexperience.......2006-12-27
I have no natural artistic talent and no art experience, so I thought this book which promises "quick and easy techniques" would be perfect for me. However, I've been practicing Donna Dewberry's techniques for two months and still can't perfect the brush strokes. My opinion is that the words "quick and easy" are false advertising and should be removed by the publisher.
Donna Deewberry's Complete Book of One-Stroke Painting.......2006-03-10
Excellent book. Would recommend to anyone interested in acrylics.
I can finally paint!.......2003-07-08
I always wanted to be an artist, and with Donna's easy-to-follow techniques, I can now paint! Before, I drew rotten stick figures, but Donna had me painting like a pro in nothing flat! I have given items away as gifts, and have had requests for items! I've been concentrating on clay flower pots, but I now feel ready to branch out to bigger and better things! Thanks Donna!
Buy It! You'll thank me later! :).......2002-10-27
One Stroke Painting is the way to go! This book is a must have!
If you ever wanted to learn to paint, here is your chance.
Beginners - you too, will produce results in no time. The instructions and illustrations are straightfoward and easy to understand. I did a rose and rosebuds on a french bucket. No one would believe I did it freehand (no pattern). I had never painted a day in my life, before buying this book.
Experienced - expand your repetoire!
Easy to follow.......2002-04-29
Great for beginners. I'm already on my fourth project and each one gets better.

Customer Reviews:
A great collection.......2007-04-14
This is a great collection of Bullock's black and white work. It has a few more photos than Aperture's Masters of Photography volume on Bullock. It is nice to see the photos divided up into periods as described by his daughter. As far as I know all that is missing is his color abstract work. Her description was too philosophical for me most of the time. But overall Wynn's photos are fascinating and this is a great collection.
Book Description

Book Description
Wynn Bullock (1902-75) was one of the most widely respected photo-artists of his generation. He explored many alternative processes before adopting 'straight' photography. His evocative images are often visual metaphors, with a psychological dimension beneath the meticulous realism.Other artists in this series include: Eugene Atget, Mathew Brady, Julia Margaret Cameron, Joan Fontcuberta, David Goldblatt, Nan Goldin, Graciela Iturbide, Andre Kertesz, Dorothea Lange, Mary Ellen Mark, Joel Meyerowitz, Boris Mikhailov, Lisette Model, Laszlo Moholy-Nagy, Eadweard Muybridge, Eugene Richards, W. Eugene Smith, Shomei Tomatsu, Joel-Peter Witkin

Book Description
Reprinted for the first time since its original publication twenty years ago, The Face of China is an evocative and candid collection of some of the first photographs made in that country. Along with descriptive captions, these images describe the daily life and surroundings of an era now passed.
The people are as seen through Western eyes, and the places are as traversed by foreigners. These early photographers were explorers and adventurers. They lugged huge cameras with heavy glass plates over rugged, unfamiliar terrain. Interspersed throughout the book are passages from significant texts and travelers' diaries, observations and opinions that echo and illuminate the images.
For many Chinese, these photographers were the first white faces ever seen, and they carried with them previously undreamed-of contraptions. For all this, there is an unguarded air to many of the portraits, and the street scenes have the candid look of today's street photographer.
Customer Reviews:
excellent choice.......2007-09-12
Really nice book, it has all the ingredients to make it a good book to have on your bookshelf.I highly recomend it to anyone interested in the subject, old china photographs are captivating and story telling plus the glosy paper and good quality printing make it a lovely coffetable book.
A great resource of photos from the Qing era........2003-02-03
This is a wonderful visual history of china in the late Qing dynasty. It represents a wonderful era that few western eyes have really ever seen. The text is informative, and the beautiful sepia toned photos are truly stunning. If your even vaguely interested in this era of China's history, snap up this book now.

A Wonderful Reference.......2000-01-27
This is a great book for learning about what kinds of cartooning techniques exist. It is an essential resource for anyone who's interested in cartooning. However, if you're looking for a "how-to" book you may be disappointed as it has only minimal information about how to actually do the techniques. Despite that, it is still a must-have for any cartoonist.
