The Best of Brochure Design 8 is a collection of creative and contemporary brochure designs from around the world.

The book is divided by categories such as corporate, annual reports, products/services, arts and self-promotional. It offers a varied group of design ideas and examples along with the tools and softwares used for creating those examples.

Graphic designers as well as novices in the field will get a jolt of creativity from the many designs in this book. In my opinion, it makes a great reference guide for anyone in the design field.

yes was quite disappointed in this book, did not live up to review in dynamic graphics magazine. has some good ideas but not always useful unless you have a large budget or a fantastic client who wants to go the extra mile!

Loads of examples!.......2005-08-17

Well structured book with pages and pages of modern, classy examples, all of which can be great sources of creative inspiration.

Spectacular.......2000-05-04

This is a wonderful book - of particular interest to Australians of course, to whom Captain Cook is a prominent historical figure, but also to anyone interested in the grand tradition of the master mariners and adventures on the high seas.

Physically it is a beautiful book as well, with fabulous illustrations and quality paper. Perhaps not a book for everyone, but for serious collectors it is a gem.

Interesting Life and Fabulous Pictures.......1998-08-12

Freeman Paterson's pictures alone make this book worth buying. I have been a fan of his for quite some time and really enjoyed reading the tales of his travels. Those stories really intensified my appreciation for his work. If you like Freeman Paterson's pictures you will like them even more after reading this book.

As I read and embrace the images I can feel the passion........1998-07-19

I am a photographer on the west coast of Canada. I have been a serious one for about 5 years. My love is in the nature of things. Landscape, seascape, flowers, etc. I have admired Freeman Patterson's exquisit work through the lens of his camera for many years. This book was very calming and gave a real sense of gratitude that we as human beings, especially photographers, are given this presious gift in that we can paint with light! I, in my own work try to convey the feeling to the viewer that of which I felt at the time of creating the image. I was also impressed with his text, as he conveys his down home nature through the way his art is written about and expressed. I can only continue to strive to become as good as he in my own right. It truly is my passion. One does not get tired of nature as she is forever giving us new opportunities to freeze moments in time so that we may portray the art of it all. Shadowlight: A Photographer's Life, as all of Mr. Patters! on's publications, was exceptional. A must have for anyone professional, or amature. Yours truly, Joy Gerow

Book Description

Best known as a satirist of Parisian politics and daily life, Honoré Daumier (1808-1879) was a prolific caricaturist. This book is the first to examine the role of exoticism in his art, and to offer a detailed history of the journal Le Charivari in which the lithographs appeared. These satires of China, Haiti, the United States, Africa, and the Middle East not only target the theater of international politics, but also draw on a broad range of physical stereotypes supported by contemporary ideas about race and cultural difference. In an art of comic inversion, Daumier used the exotic to expose the foibles and pretensions of the Parisian bourgeoisie. A pacifist and a Republican, Daumier also satirized the non-European world in order to covertly attack the imperialism of Napoléon III in an age of press censorship. Idealistic as well as pragmatic, he used humor to stage political critique as well as to envision a more unified and compassionate world.

Customer Reviews:

One of the funniest books I have ever read.......2005-06-18

One of those rare books that consistently leaves the reader in tears of laughter (albeit at someone else's expense).
I must say that I have newfound respect for actors after reading this book. The performers in these pages are some of the world's most renowned actors and yet no one escapes unscathed.
My favorite selection is the diary of an actress in a touring company of Romeo and Juliet and her description of the problems she encounters during a performance.
I wish I could give it more than five stars!

Most hilarious book ever.......2005-05-16

Diana Rigg has compiled the most hilarious book I've ever read. If you keep it in the bathroom guests or other family members will wonder why you are roaring with laughter behind the commode door. British wit and droll sarcasm at its finest.

Buy this book.......2000-05-01

The world of theatre criticism can be a brutal and mean place where careers are lost and broken. The chance for comedy is just as enormous. Diana Rigg has compiled some of the meanest, nastiest, and funniest theatre reviews ever published. Playwrights, actors, actresses, directors and the productions themselves are all hung out to dry. This book is a hilarious addition to anyone's collection.

Wonderful collection of humorous theatrical reviews.......1998-06-15

Diana Rigg, as an actor, has turned the other cheek by collecting and editing reviews of theatrical productions, past and present. Although the reviews are often at the expense of the principals in a production, they are written and edited in such a manner that makes them possibly more interesting than the production itself. If biting wit that sometimes draws blood is your thing, then you will enjoy this book.

Book Description

"No hay nada nuevo bajo el cielo". Esta frase es especialmente significativa cuando esta referida al intrincado y maravilloso mundo de las finanzas, y -aun mas concretamente- cuando hablamos de opciones financieras. Consciente de ello, Rascon Ortenga no pretende que este libro aporte ningun conocimiento innovador u original a lo escrito en algunos otros manuales ya publicados en otros idiomas. Su intencion se dirige exclusivamente a hacer que las explicaciones y ensenanzas que se desprenden de estas paginas sean lo mas utiles y sencillas posible, bien accesibles a la comprension del lector y sin terminos grandilocuentes, que no por utilizar un lenguaje mas cercano en la exposicion, esta ha de ser menos rigurosa. Se trata de huir del injustificado exceso de retorica con que nos abordan la mayoria de los escritos financieros, que en muchos casos solo provocan el hastio y el desinteres del inversor acerca de unas utiles herramientas financieras que deberian estar, culturalmente, al alcance de todos los que se mueven en el ambito de la especulacion e inversion en los diferentes mercados de finanzas, y sobre todo de aquellos que se acercan por primera vez a las inversiones en bolsa. En este libro, se propone un recorrido desde los conceptos fundamentales necesarios para comprender el funcionamiento de las opciones financieras de renta variable, hasta la elaboracion de la mayoria de las estrategias importantes que se pueden llevar a cabo, tanto con opciones como con la combinacion con futuros y/o acciones. El presente trabajo esta dirigido a cualquier persona que desee ampliar sus conocimientos de los mercados financieros, en particular de los de derivados de renta variable. Puede ser util tambien para aquellos estudiantes universitarios que buscan una vision practica y complementaria de lo que aprenden en sus manuales de finanzas aplicadas. Los inversores particulares y de pequenos patrimonios pueden encontrar, en estas paginas, una nueva herramienta donde diversificar sus ahorros o combinar sus carteras de acciones; a la vez que implementar diferentes estrategias de riesgo/beneficio racionalmente calculadas y seguras.

Good writing has long been undervalued in the workplace. After all, business letters, memos, proposals, and the like are about communication, not literature. And, true, the readership probably couldn't care less about sentence structure or tone. Still, something inspires the recipient of such material to either read it or toss it, and that something is very often the quality of the writing. Words at Work is a practical guide by the founder of a company that offers writing services for businesses: Susan Benjamin. She believes that the average letter has to be "captivating within the first five words." She hauls away tired phrases ("I enjoyed speaking with you on the phone last week" and "Our company is committed to meeting your needs"), clichés, and jargon, encouraging businesspeople to be specific, fresh, anecdotal, and grammatical in their writing. Benjamin's analogies may make you cringe ("Go for ordinary, clean words, which your reader can glide across like a skater over ice"; or "'To whom it may concern' is as old and bland as Lawrence Welk reruns"), but her system won't. Her strategies are easy to follow and are sure to make for crisper corporate correspondence.

Writing Words that really work.......2004-12-06

This is an exceptional book. It is a quick read with outstanding points for writing in different aspects of business. The author, Susan Benjamin, gives you six steps to use when writing anything. I especially appreciated the section on how to make a quick list of the points you want to cover in your writing before you start writing then using this list to write fast, saving the editing and proofreading for later. Moreover, Ms. Benjamin states that you should find an editor, a good editor, to review your documentation. I suggest that if you want a good book on business writing, this is the one. Buy this book. You will not regret it.

The Word Hunter.......2001-05-20

Bad habits and working conditions get in the way of WORDS AT WORK. Writing is easier if you look at it as a process: listing what needs to be covered and when; writing and rewriting for an attention getting opening, a smooth main part, and a memorable ending; editing; getting feedback; and proofreading. Author Susan Benjamin also says to build a portfolio of regularly written documents, find mentors, make reading and writing comfortable habits, pay attention to budgets and deadlines, take classes, use common sense, and write what the boss wants. With her emphasis on appropriately personal or professional tone, lively word use and solid structure, her book works well with Cosmo Ferrara's WRITING ON THE JOB, Marcia Layton's THE COMPLETE IDIOT'S GUIDE TO TERRIFIC BUSINESS WRITING, and Jeffrey McQuain's POWER LANGUAGE.
