4 out of 5 stars A fabulous illustrator...........2000-09-16

As an illustrator, Jessie Willcox Smith ranks right at the top along side Norman Rockwell. Smith gives the reader a glimpse into the whimsical world of childhood innocence. The reflection of childhood emotions illustrated by this artist allows the reader to look backward into his own childhood experience. Pictures are heartwarming as well as reflective of the childhood culture of the United States.

Book Description

This follow-up to the highly successful Blitz Cartooning Kit (more than 250,000 units sold) teaches the basics of cartooning in a completely innovative way thanks to the exciting new Blitz Re-Tooner™. In addition to traditional drawing exercises and games, the kit allows any fledgling cartoonist to create original drawings on a clever wipe-away surface that packs neatly away. Blitz's 56-page book presents page-by-page projects that are done with the Re-Tooner™--a plastic box set at an incline by risers on the bottom for ease and comfort in drawing. The user slides one of 50 Re-Tooner™ sheets beneath the clear plastic surface, which can be drawn on and wiped clean again and again. The Re-Tooner™ sheets feature partial illustrations and guidelines for learning a particular lesson that's detailed and cross-referenced. BLITZ ULTIMATE CARTOONING KIT comes with the instruction book, Re-Tooner™, two black markers, one wipe-away cloth, and 50 Re-Tooner™ sheets.

My children all love it. Ages 10, 9, 7 and 5. Very entertaining as a family activity.

5 out of 5 stars You can become a cartoonist instantly!.......2005-02-20

I am a teacher who really likes to draw cartoons on my board but honestly I don't know how. I used to memorise a face or two to use but now with this kit, things are much easier. There are 50 retooner boards in which you can learn about drawing faces, features, bodies, and everything you need. You can create so many drawings and even retooner cards from th accompanying book or even Blitz Big Book of Cartooning. My poor 8, 6, 3-year old kids just opened their mouths with excitement and just looked at the cartoons i created. By the way the kit is for me not them and so they have to earn their kits by being really nice kids. I am sure I can't wait to buy each one of them the tool to be great cartoonists.

Customer Reviews:

3 out of 5 stars A good garden floral design book.......2003-11-17

It pertains a good assortment of garden flowers and the drawing is graceful. Yet, the interpretation of the shading by scatter dots sometimes make the design look too busy.

5 out of 5 stars Excellent source book.......2001-02-07

This book of black and white line drawings has a wealth of flower designs in several sizes and shows those flowers from several different angles. Most common American flowers are represented and the index makes a particular flower easy to locate. I have used it for pen and ink drawing, china painting, and embroidery designs but it would be equally useful to woodworkers or oil painters. The renditions are detailed enough to get a firm understanding of the flowers structure and the shading, while subtle, would be helpful to a new student who might have problems with light and shadow. It is one of the most used source books in my collection.

2 out of 5 stars Disappointed..........2006-12-01

I thought it was a collection of original Japanese designs. The editor apparently took it upon herself to redraw them, and that is what's contained herein. The designs end up diminished, weaker than the traditional crisp oriental linework. I would return it if possible. Very disappointed.

3 out of 5 stars a decent reference for tattooing.......2003-03-22

If quanity and quick reference for tattooing is what you're looking for, look no further. Be warned though the illustrations are pretty weak in a lot of areas, so be ready to redraw! But there are tons of floral designs (especially lotus) and simple designs that are invaluable for a tattooer. So as far as an excellent source on traditional japanese art it is not, but it could be handy in the shop.

          If you know a bitter, cigarette-smoking, coffee-drinking woman, then you will be in familiar company with Nicole Hollander's comics character, Sylvia. Hollander's drawing style is sharp and abrasive, much like her humor. Sections include "Some Well-meant Advice," "My Cats Tried to Drive Me Insane," "Meaningful Relationships," "Let's Not Discuss My Body," "Working Woman," and "At the Bar."

          Book Description

          Part of an interview conducted by Larry McDonald, Sebastopol (CA) Times amp; NewsMcDonald: You seem to take special pleasure in making fun of men whose names begin with "R" (Rocky, Rambo, Ronald Reagan). Is there a reason?Sylvia: It does seem more than coincidental that many powerful, less than bright men have names beginning with "R". Perhaps an alphabetologist could explain it, or maybe a phrenologist, or a pharmacist.There are only three other famous women who share the intensity of your passion of hats, and they're all members of the British Royal Family. Do you have a secret desire to wear a crown? If not, what else do you have in common with Liz, Di, and the Queen Mum?I believe my passion for hats is closer to Louella Parsons, Bea Lillie and Minnie Pearl's. As to what I have in common with Liz, Di, and the Queen Mother, I think it can be fairly said that we all look great in shorts.You're obviously urban. Have you ever spent time in a less pressured environment, like a farm, or California?I can only live where I can use my Jewel Food Stores check-cashing card, but I think I was on Melrose Avenue in L.A. once.Do you consider Phyllis Schlafly liberated?If Phyllis stayed home she'd be doing everyone but her family a favor.If tomorrow you woke up as Nancy Reagan, what would your first reaction be?Divorce.Nicole Hollander takes credit for producing your comic strip. What do you have in common, if anything?She often borrows my shoes, but her feet are somewhat larger than mine.Do you collaborate on the contents of the strip?The truth is the cat writes the strips. Nicole and I just sit around reading the National Enquirer and drinking coffee.

          Nicole Hollander's characters, such as the Love Cop who keeps apart doomed couples, The Woman Who Lives More Beautifully than You Do (you know who she is!) and of course, Sylvia are hilarous. She skewers social phenomna and politics and even reveals the secret thoughts of pets. More Nicole Hollander collections please!

          They say it's a serial killer. Is it? Jenny can't afford to trust anyone. Now she's here, in Wisteria, anonymously registered at the Chase College theater camp where her sister died. The daughter of a famous theatrical family, Jenny distrusts actors, loathes acting. Yet here in the college's darkened theatre, Liza seems to be speaking to her. Suddenly Jenny is mouthing Liza's last lines, sharing Liza's last days, a drama starring Brian, the stage manager, who seems to follow her everywhere...dangerously attractive Mike...Paul, who was obsessed with Liza...motherly, suffocating assistant director Maggie...and Walker, the director, bristling with hostility and resentment against Liza and Jenny's famous father. Does he suspect Jenny's true identity?

          How can anyone know the visions that may be driving Jenny straight into the killer's arms?

          I thought this would be a BORING book. I had to find a book for my L.A. project and chose this randomly. I just finished reading it-and to my surprise-it was so exciting! It was very suspenseful, deep, and kept me on the edge of my chair! I couldn't help but turn the page continuously and read for hours. I am unusually like this unless I am reading a REALLY good book. And that's what this is--a REALLY good book and more!

          Jenny's sister, Liza, was murdered while she was at drama camp and Jenny went there to find out if it really was a serial killer who did it. While she's there, Jenny keeps having these visions that are like memories of what Liza saw near to the time when she was murdered. Jenny is finding more and more clues and has many suspects. She doesnt think it was a serial killer, she thinks it was someone that knew Liza, and she needs to find out because they might try to kill her next. Jenny keeps touching things that give her chills and suggest that they had to do with the murder, like a hammer that she had a vision of being the murder weapon, and sometimes she has visions when she stands in a place that Liza was. Jenny doesnt tell the people there that she is Liza's sister and subtly asks around to find out more. Will she find out who the murderer is before they get her too? Read it to find out!!

          5 out of 5 stars Super!.......2004-10-31

          This is a phenominal book, full of friendship and betrayal. It has captivating characters, even those who have "passed on" are intriguing and lead to a smooth flowing novel. Every detail helps pull the plot together in a superb ending.

          Book Description

          In 1993 Liz Tilberis seemed to have it all. She was a working mother with a family who adored her. As editor-in-chief of Harper's Bazzar, she lived at the center of the glamorous world of international fashion and was widely recognized as one of the most powerful people in the industry. And in 1993, Liz Tilberis was diagnosed with Stage III ovarian cancer.

          Suddenly she was faced with the challenge of a lifetime, joining the ranks of the 175,000 women in America with Ovarian cancer. She underwent major surgery, grueling chemothereapy, and, eventually, when the cancer recurred, a life-threatening bone marrow transplant. Through it all she refused to let the disease get the better of her, continuing to participate fully in her life as wife, mother, and career woman. And she eduacted herself about the disease that threatened her life. Ultimately, Tilberis concluded that she developed ovarian cancer as a result of infertility treatments she underwent years earlier--a link that the medical establishment has been reluctant to aknowledge. Her experience led Tilberis to become president of the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund and to address countless issues surrounding the devastating disease.

          From diagnosis through recovery and recurrence, and on to a rich, rewarding, transformed life, No Time to Die is a frank, no-holds-barred look into the world of fashion and a candid account of a battle with a debilitating illness. Approaching every obstacle with optimism, humor and grace, Liz Tilberis has written a story that celebrates life and the ultimate triumph of a passionate, determined, and courageous woman.

          When she died in 1999, Liz Tilberis was only 51 years old and had battled ovarian cancer for several years. Her influence over the fashion world in the UK and USA was considerable and at the height of success she was diagnosed with stage 3 cancer. Liz was able to chronicle her efforts fighting the disease before it claimed her and in the years since ... one thing is clear ... take time to live ... because as glamorous as life can be ... it is not immunity against a sudden illness.

          Yeah..What she says..The other reviewer..Good. It's a ball and a blast to find out how other women survive. Jesus loves..Or..But she's a good storyteller. The head editor of Harpers-Bazaar..Yup..A busy woman. Don't want her to die..Vanes

          5 out of 5 stars Interesting and also scary...........2003-11-01

          I don't think this book was promoted very well when it was published. I just happened upon it in a used book store and picked it up because my stepmother had recently died of ovarian cancer-- and also because I'm always interested in reading about the fashion world. Tilberis sometimes came across as a bit shallow; she apparently took the whole fashion world VERY seriously, instead of viewing it with the detachment and "Well, it's a living" attitude of some fashionistas I know. Also, after describing her very long struggle to have children, which ultimately resulted in her adopting two sons, she seemed to have taken little interest in raising them; her husband pretty much was a single parent, while she lived and breathed Harper's Bazaar 24/7.
          But on the whole, I really enjoyed the book, especially the insider stuff about the fashion business. I also appreciated the thorough information that Tilberis gives about detection and treatment of ovarian cancer. By the end of the book she seems resigned to dying fairly soon, but is just trying to enjoy every day that is left to her. She died within two years of the book's publication.

          Book Description

          The indomitable Harlem sleuth Mali Anderson is back, this time on a case that will become more personal than she ever imagined.

          A bizarre and brutal serial killer is on the loose in Harlem, but this time he has chosen the wrong victim--Mali Anderson's close friend Claudine Hastings. The savvy sleuth vows to track down her friend's killer, ignoring handsome Detective Tad Honeywell's suggestion that she leave the investigating to the police. While the body count rises, Mali refuses to back down, tirelessly combing the "three Bs of Harlem: the barbershops, beauty shops, and bars" as she zeros in on the culprit.

          It soon becomes clear that the killings are centered in Mali's own neighborhood, and she fears that the people she holds dearest, including her jazz musician father and her preteen nephew, Alvin, will become embroiled in the case. But little does Mali realize that even as she races to catch the killer, he is planning yet another crime--and he's already chosen her to be his next victim.

          The Chicago Tribune called Grace Edwards's first mystery, If I Should Die, "excellent," and her follow-up book, A Toast Before Dying, "impressive." Now, in the third installment of the Mali Anderson mystery series, Edwards has once again painted--in the smooth and sumptuous style her many readers have come to adore--a portrait of Harlem that is both beautiful and haunting. Filled with vibrantly unforgettable characters, No Time to Die is a thrilling and suspenseful plunge into one of the world's most fascinating neighborhoods.

          5 out of 5 stars A touch of Harlem History.......2000-10-11

          In the 3rd Mali Anderson books, the author goes for the suspense route instead of the mystery. We know who the killer is, now we just have to figure out why and when will he strike again and who will be his next victim. The author did a great job with the transistion from mystery to suspense, A serial killer in Harlem. As always, the reader is treated to Harlem history, landscape and nightlife. If you have never been to Harlem, you will feel like you just visited there after reading one of Grace's books. THis was an intriguing novel. I look forward to the next one.

          4 out of 5 stars "No Time To Die".......2000-09-22

          After reading "No Time to Die" I was not too impressed because I found the story line pretty predictable. Although, over all it was a good book. I enjoyed reading it even though it was predictable because it was interesting, the way the writer wrote the book and the way one thing led to another kept me interested. There was a loose killer in the Harlem streets and Mali's best friend was the first to be murdered. So, because Mali was on this particular case she was very intent and determined to find the murderer. Although, I don't think she realized that while she had intent to find the murderer, the murderer also intended to find her.

          No Time to Die; A Mali Anderson Mystery Grace F. Edwards Doubleday 1999 ISBN 0385492472 H.C.

          This is the 3rd installment in the Mali Anderson mystery series.

          Harlem Sleuth Mali Anderson is back and on a case that is personal to her. Mali is a brave person who knows her neighborhood and easily connects with its residents whether she is in beauty shop or a playground basketball court. Expect an in your face heroine. Abizarre and brutal killer is on the loose in Harlem and he has killed malis best friend, Claudine Hastings. It becomes clear that the killings are in Malis own neighborhood. As the bodies continue to pile higher, Mali fears for those close to her, not realizing that she is to be the next victim. This book has very colorful characters and it leaves you wondering if Mali will ever catch this guy. Ms Edward's style is free flowing and very easy to follow.

          3 out of 5 stars Decent but not great.......2000-03-12

          I thought this was a decent read but not great. I loved the authors discussion of Harlem but found the storyline was predictable. In all fairness to the author however, this was the first Mali Anderson mystery novel that I have read. I have subsequently ordered her other novels. I think that I was at a disadvantage because I am sure that much of the stuff referenced in this book went back to her 2 previous Mali Anderson novels. I look forward to reading those novels next.

          5 out of 5 stars Just Delighted.......2000-02-16

          Once again, Grace Edwards has delighted her readers with the intelligence and tenacity of Mali Anderson. The characters are keenly developed and the "plot thickened" with every page. Unlike the other perpertrators, in the Mali Anderson series, we are introduced to this sinister evil, early on. As a person very interested in the social sciences, I found myself wanting to help "Ache" and hoped he would find redemption before destruction.

            Liz Tilberis, the editor in chief of Harper's Bazaar magazine, was at the pinnacle of her career when diagnosed with ovarian cancer, one of the disease's deadliest forms. ("When ovarian cancer is detected early, the cure rate is high: at least a 90 percent five-year survival rate for Stage I diagnosis. At Stage IV, they tell you to go home and get your affairs in order," she writes.) In 1993, the day after holding a gala holiday dinner for the likes of Ralph Lauren and Donna Karan, Tilberis underwent exploratory surgery that revealed her cancer was at Stage III. Since then, she has survived three recurrences, massive doses of chemotherapy, and a bone marrow transplant.

            Tilberis's book is notable not only for the sanguine humor which she injects throughout, but also for her honesty regarding what she suspects was the cause of her cancer: fertility treatments with the hormone-stimulating drugs Clomid and Pergonal, which she points out are still widely used. (She never conceived a child, but is the mother of two adopted sons.) Tilberis is especially cutting with her descriptions of her coworkers' chilliness and lack of empathy when she first returned to work. It seems that AIDS causes notwithstanding, the world of fashion is still incapable of admitting there is suffering in the world. Tilberis also deserves praise for confessing that her infertility is due to fallopian tube scarring from pelvic inflammatory disease--often caused by sexually transmitted diseases.

            No Time to Die and Liz Tilberis are inspiring. While her cancer is in no certain way vanquished, Tilberis chooses to treat it as a chronic condition, not a killer. She's made it her mission to use her magazine platform and her position as president of the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund to raise awareness of a complicated and frightening--but possibly preventable--disease. This book is as much a tale of survival and sang-froid as it is an excoriation of the cruelties of the two-faced world of fashion.

                Book Description

                In 1965, the army proclaimed him a hero. Now, thirty-four years later, Walter Lewis and his wife, Karen, must face Sergei Godunov and the Murphy brothers, who claim Walter was never a hero at all. To them, he’d been a coward.

                After years of tracking him, they finally catch up with Walter in Spanish Fort, Alabama. The Murphys believe that Walter ran from a vicious hand-to-hand battle, leaving their brother behind to be slaughtered. Sergei Godunov, once a Russian advisor to the Vietcong, has his own ax to grind. He blames Walter for the death of his wife and son in a Russian gulag.

                Caught, Karen slips into a coma, and Walter has a heart attack. Unconscious in intensive care, they have an out-of-body experience that hurls them back in time to an adventurous past that was filled with war, lies and deceit and unlawful death. It was the time that they’d first fallen in love, too, after he’d been wounded and she’d been his nurse. They’d vowed to survive despite the odds. But Sergei Godunov and the Murphys are not interested in love or vows or odds, either back then or now. They’re in town for revenge.
