A Design Necessity.......2002-05-01
I love this book. I've had it for over a year now and it's one of my most used design books for inspiration. It's always on my nightstand.
A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words........2000-08-04
I have just purchased a lot at a new beach development called Watercolor right next to Seaside, Fl and am in the process of learning about the styles of decorating that I like. I saw a copy of this book at the sales center today and thought, wow, this will be a great guide for me. Some decorating books seem kind of over-the-top, but this one is beautiful and some of the looks seem attainable after studying them. I plan to have my own copy soon!
Book Description
Southern Rooms celebrates innovative and imaginative interiors from a diverse landscape known as the American South. Life in this special part of the world revolves around a refined lifestyle, gracious spirit, abounding hospitality, and good manners. Southerners have a legacy of appreciation for fine architecture, furnishings, art, and accessories. Whatever the inspiration or direction of the winds of fashion, good design in the South has always been firmly rooted in a certain set of basic rules. Proportion, scale, unity, balance, rhythm, and interest are constant.
Compiled into three sections—Coastal South, Deep South, New South—each with an introduction describing the design philosophies and traditions of the particular region. The work of thirty-two interior designers is presented in lavish color along with their ideas and philosophies. In these pages, the reader will find a wealth of design and decorating ideas. They will gain an understanding of how each designer uses color, volume, detail, and space to create distinctive rooms. In turn, these rooms reflect the grace and beauty of the South itself.

Clear, Helpful, Beautiful.......2007-06-01
Illustration Fashion: Concept to Creation appears to be popular with a wide range of students who are both beginners, intermediate students and advanced designers. This book offers a step-by-step approach to movement of designs from the croquis (base, working sketch) to the final copy. It has references to designs for facial and body features and it has detailed illustrations of a huge range of different pieces of clothings. Stipelman explains as well as gives examples of ways to successfully convey the mood of an outfit.
Overall - it's very handy. For advanced students, however, bear in mind that it would probably be more of a reference for you than anything. It wouldn't be a bad idea to have a look at other books available here on Amazon.
One of the best books for the subject.......2004-11-17
I found this book to be extremely helpful and useful, far superior than some I have encountered.
Good beginner book but not the best for its price.......2004-06-29
I must admit that I am not too keen on this book. Although it doesn cover the basics of fashion illustration I just don't think its a great illustraton book. Its a great referance don;t get me wrong but I know for a fact that Bina Abling's Fashion Sketchbook (the most recent veersion) has a heck of alot more than this book and it may be a bit pricer (just buy it used!) but The Fahsion Skecthbook it well worth it. TRUST ME!
Great 4 Beginners!!.......2003-08-08
I am intrested in fashion design and this book has helped me to learn how to draw the figure and face, etc. If you are a beginner in fashion design this should be your first book to get. This book is a keeper!!
Insightful techniques and easy to grasp concepts.......2002-07-30
I did not realize how resourceful a book this was until I actually sat down and looked through it. I had this book and another fashion illustration book (by Kathryn Hagen) for six months and all this time, I was referencing the other book only to gain insignificant knowledge of fashion illustration. While the other book contains beautifully drawn illustrations, it did little to enlighten me to the techniques, which is important when learning.
I didn't look through Steven Stipelman's book before because I deemed it boring and uninteresting based on a brief flip through. When I actually sat down to start reading it, it all seemed to make sense. What Mr. Stipelman does that other books on this topic fail to really do is to talk about technique and concepts. He outlines standards for drawing croquis (working sketch) in steps, which is a must because a croquis is a foundation for fashion illustrations and will eventually lead to a final drawing.
He also applies the step by step explanation of how to do different poses and how clothing rests on the body in different ways. A big bonus is that he also provides a historical background wherever he can to each section because each period of time had its own ideal for "the" silhouette or body type. It really just ties in well because you get a broader understanding of fashion's past and its relation to the current ideals of fashion.
Whereas some fashion illustration books merely display pages of illustrations done by the author or professionals in the fashion industry, this book is written and arranged in such a way that you feel you're actually in the classroom being taught one-on-one all that it takes to illustrate fashion effectively and beautifully.

The best reference I have found on the subject.......1997-12-16
I first used this in a college library reference section. On taking a fashion illustration class a few years later, I used notes and drawings I had made from the book and realized that I needed it for my own reference library.
excellent book, with pointed and wonderful text.......1997-12-10
I really fell in love with this book. The text is well-written and witty, as well as being very instructive. Each point is accompanied by fine illustrative examples, and the work show-cased here is of the highest calibre. I read this book cover to cover and find I am continually refering to it. No better guide for the young aspiring fashion illustrator, it also holds some jolly good tips for the general art student. I would recommend this book to any bibliophile, because this book is a Must for any fine collection.
Customer Reviews:
Good, clear information.......1999-10-07
A very broad but useful reference book about illustrating for fashion. Real hints and tips and a real analysis of what is required when illustrating. The clear categories and breakdowns, like the media techniques and fabric representation sections are very useful. The use of sketch books and working drawing sections are helpful to students. A very thorough book.
Comprehensive 'how to' guide........1998-07-03
Absolute must for any fashion student, packed with illustrations and guides for producing better drawings. Inside professional knowledge. All good stuff, order yourself one!

Customer Reviews:
Oliphant at his best!.......1998-12-01
This is the first Pat Oliphant book I have read and I love his style. He takes no prisoners in his assault. Not the FBI, not the Pentagon, not Arab/Israel relations. I love his wit.
Book Description
A valuable set of reflections, anecdotes, and pure fund raising wisdom from one of the great pioneers in the development field.
--Michael O'Neill, professor and director, Institute for Nonprofit Organization Management, University of San Francisco
For over forty-five years, Henry Rosso has worked to enhance and advance the work and lives of professional fund raisers the world over. He has been recognized as the person who has most shaped present fund raising practice and theory. In this book of thoughtful essays, he explores a variety of topics including leadership, stewardship, the art of asking, building relationships, and more--all in a refreshing writing style that makes fund raising human and friAndly.
Customer Reviews:
A superb introduction.......2002-01-22
An excellent introduction to fund raising; without doubt the best available. Rosso is clear and concise in this brief and easily digested text. This is not a "how to" book. You will not learn the details of running a capital campaign or conducting prospect research. Rather, Rosso provides an overview of the elements of fund raising. The major laws of fund raising science are presented along with the less well defined knowledge areas of fund raising art. He discusses topics including sequential solicitation, the donor data base, and using a gift range chart. But also communicated are the human elements which are essential to success in this field. The account is highly personal, drawing on years of practical experience. The recollections are well chosen and thoughtfully integrated into the text. Although this book will have most value for those with little or no prior knowledge of its subject, I suspect that even the experienced fund raiser will obtain benefit from its reading.

Book Description
This study is based on field surveys conducted in the Brazilian Amazon and covers twenty years of settlement experience. Its findings reveal that much of the Amazonian frontier land deforested by pioneers in the 1970s is becoming agriculturally unproductive. In response to the Brazilian economic crisis of the 1980s, a growing urban middle class began buying such land and holding it as a store of value, causing original settlers to leave and migrate to new frontiers within the Amazon. The authors conclude that for small farmers to be prevented from moving on and clearing new frontiers, they must be rewarded for staying in the old ones. This requires promoting good farming, punishing speculation, and directly penalizing deforestation, through the innovative use of economic policies and new forms of cooperation between environmental and economic agencies at the local, national, and international levels, including the World Bank. Paradoxically, sustainable farming in the Amazon world would not likely attract migrants from outside the region, but unsustainable farming is sure to continue fueling intra-regional migration, even if the general economic crisis were to subside during the 1990s. Consequently, there is increasing urgency to devise policies that protect the forest by providing poor farmers with economic alternatives to encroachment.
