Book Description
In the late 19th century, the exploding populations and hectic speed of life in London and Paris fascinated artists on both sides of the English Channel. French artists Edgar Degas and Henri Toulouse-Lautrec pioneered new ways of representing the city, profoundly influencing British artists as they did so. Walter Sickert fully embraced their Bohemian vision, creating brooding portrayals of the seamier side of urban life. Works by these and other key artists, including Vuillard, Bonnard, Tissot, and Whistler, include society portraiture and posters as well as scenes in bars, music halls, and theaters-evocative images of the decadence and spectacle of the fin-de-siècle metropolis.

Peter Fischli & David Weiss: Equilibres
ASIN: 3883759740
Release Date: 2006-03-01 |
Book Description
Long before Peter Fischli and David Weiss made Fotografias, Nancy Spector had noted that the two liked to "undermine conventional distinctions between high and low art." This collection of underexposed black-and-white images does exactly that, recreating low-end figurative paintings as muddy, dark, snapshots and minting them anew as fine art. Subjects include landscapes and historical scenes, animal and mythological beings, and, yes, female figures.

Book Description
It all began with a poem called "Warning," by Jenny Joseph that goes like this: "When I am an old woman I shall wear purple/With a red hat which doesn't go, and doesn't suit me." Hundreds of thousands of women of a certain age have taken up that poem as their anthem and that red hat as their badge—they (we) will do anything we please—society's constraints beware!
There is the Red Hat Society and there are conventions and t-shirts and now there's . . . My Red Hat, by Jill Larson Sundberg, who knows the value of being old enough to not have to follow the rules. She knows the even greater value of having something as sassy as a red hat as a comforting talisman in times of stress and loneliness. Or as a constant companion, cheering us up and never talking back. Or as a good luck symbol.
Check it out—on the Web, at a fancy restaurant near you, wherever women of a certain age gather—tens of thousands of them are talking about and wearing purple clothes and RED HATS.
This little book couldn't be simpler—47 inspirational thoughts, all beginning with "My Red Hat":

Seven Brides for seven brothers.......2007-03-08
The print layout it pretty good. However, it misses some of the songs that were in the broadway edition so it feels incomplete.
Great!!!!!.......2000-08-15
This book jives you all the words and music to the musical: Seven Brides for Seven Brothers. I found it very useful when it came to singing the songs.

Product Description
THE FIRST AFRICAN-AMERICAN MYSTERY WRITER!!! The dime novel was the first form of cheap fiction available to the American masses; between the 1870's and 1890's such dime novel detectives as Old Sleuth, Nick Carter, Old Cap Collier, Deadwood Dick and Lady Kate, The Dashing Female Detective thrilled millions of readers. One of the finest dime-novelists was Philip Schuylar Warne, the first known person of African-American descent to publish a mystery in the United States. Howard W. Macy, whose works predate Warnes, was also a prolific popular dime novel writer during the latter half of the nineteenth century. Both clever wordsmiths, Warne and Macy demonstrate their skills in the two mystery novellas featured in this book. Published before detective fiction became a widely recognized genre, Warnes Who Was Guilty? (1881) and Macys The Mystery of Sea-Eagle Tavern (1872) will keep readers guessing until both stories startling conclusions. In her introduction, editor Marlena E. Bremseth offers another startling conclusion. Her detective work has unearthed compelling evidence that Philip S. Warne was, in actuality, a pseudonym of Howard W. Macy. Professor Bremseth, the premier expert on African-Americans in dime novels, teaches at San Diego City College. She has published articles in The Dime Novel Round-Up and is Area Chair of the Dime Novels/Pulps/Juvenile Series Books of the Popular Culture Association. Who Was Guilty? is the 17th in Crippen & Landrus series of Lost Classics. The cover design is by Deborah Miller and is based on a woodcut for Tiger Dick, The Faro King; or, The Cashiers Crime (1878) by Philip S. Warne.

The detective did so. A three-edged dagger, with a curiously wrought handle, met his eye. It had blood dried on its point, and was, as all could see, the weapon with which Agatha Webb had been killed.
