Book Description
This incredible collection contains drawings in which Dürer experimented with many methods: the "anthropometric system," learned from Leonardo; the "exempeda" method, known to most as the man inscribed in a circle, the human figure in motion and much more. While some drawings are theoretical, many more are life studies that rank among the finest ever done. 170 plates.
Book Description
81 plates show development from youth to full style. Many favorites, many new. Introduction by Alfred Werner. Includes Self-Portrait at the Age of Thirteen, Female Nude (with Headcloth and Slippers), Orpheus Slain by Bacchantes, with Boy Running Away. "The fascination of the drawings is inexhaustible; the skill incredible; the upshot — delight." — Boston Globe.

Enspired by the Art of Albrecht Durer.......2000-04-20
When I was in high school I found myself doodeling alot. Getting into trouble from being side tracked with school work. I went to the school library and was looking at books of art and found a specific book by Albrecht Durer. I have looked through many books of art but none has ever caught my attention like this one. No other book has been of interest since. I checked out the book several times to learn his art and it inspired me to take my doodeling to the next level. I have never forgot his name or his art and I never will. I rate this book a 5 star, the best inspiring book, a book that sent me on my way to art.
Book Description
This attractively designed—and reasonably priced—introduction to the Renaissance genius focuses on Dürer's studies of the natural world to show how the artist imbued the most ordinary of living things with reverence and emotion.
A master graphic artist, Albrecht Dürer was the most important artist of the Northern Renaissance. Although he was extremely influential as a printer, his drawings and paintings reveal a profound scientific curiosity about and sensitivity to the world around him. This collection of sketches and watercolors includes thirty-four animal and plant studies, including the masterpieces, "Hare" and "Large Patch of Grass." Victoria Salley's lively essay explores Dürer's interest in nature and the gorgeous reproductions which follow allow readers to appreciate the intricate beauty of Dürer's work as well as his keen powers of observation—traits which continue to inspire and instruct artists today.

Essential Information for the Aspiring Queen.......2007-02-16
Chock full of valuable and knowledgeable advice about male and female foibles. The story about the "lip extender" had me laughing so hard there were tears pouring down my face. Shorter than the others, lamentably, what were you THINKING, Jill???
Another boring rehash.......2006-08-30
Yet another forum for the author to rehash the "good old days" give her wannabes their 15 minutes of fame. I don't understand why someone who is an inspirational speaker and talented writer would travel this path.
FEEL BETTER LADIES! This is just fun...in book form........2005-12-30
There is really nothing At ALL WRONG IN HAVING A GOOD TIME,and this gal is doing her best to have a genu-wine helluva good time of life. If you have never celebrated just being a woman, do read her work. And if you have been born in the southern states, you will rather relate, even if you were born on the GREEN side of town, you freaks like myself will feel some (sanctimonius) maybe? relating, and you will laugh! I would rather like to be her friend, so that I could get a little dose of her fun, and she might get a bit more, my compassion for the human delimma.
(I have a hard time using people, whether they are aware of it, or not) ~but still understand!
Men! You guys can really be a big ol' CAN-O-WORMS...and you know it!
And this gal Jill is just putting that knowledge out there, in the form of one rowdy southern belle's opinion, and it is great fun to read about it! This girl could cheer up Eyore!
And yes I know that it is wrong to call a full grown woman a girl but some of us, we'll just never lose that spirit, and that is when you can do so correctly...politically or just socially, I for one, will never be too old to be a "girl" nor will Miss Jill Browne. This is a fun romp through the thoughts of a true (American as apple pie) sister!
Actual recipes are included in this book as well.
"Lighthearted romp" of a book.
Just didn't have the old magic.......2005-11-26
My wife and I have loved the Sweet Potato Queen books from the beginning. Reading them together became something of a ritual for us. This book, however, left us both rather disappointed.
Jill Conner Browne is a very talented writer, no question about that, and her latest book did offer several laugh-out-loud moments. Her descriptions of the various types of men (and the women who are involved with them) was very funny. She devoted one brief chapter to explaining why "he" didn't call, which combined humor and down-home good sense as only the SPQ can do.
However, Conner-Browne's distinctive literary voice has changed over the years, and not for the better. In one chapter she goes on endlessly about her plastic surgery experience, from which she recuperates with a shopping spree. In another section, she describes her experience with acuptuncture, blissfully glossing over the expense of it. Previously, the SPQ came across as folksy and full of love-for-life. In discussing her high-priced indulgences, however, she comes across as spoiled and decadent. This kind of self-worshipping prattle distances her from those of us who don't have endless piles of money, and frankly makes her book less enjoyable to read.
Mind you, this doesn't mean that the latest SPQ book isn't worth reading. My wife and I agreed that we were both glad we read it. However, we also agreed that compared to the previous books in the series, it just wasn't as good.
Very Funny.......2005-10-10
Another hit in the series. The wife just loved it. Highly recommended!

I received this book within 3 days on standard shipping and it was in great quality. The textbook is also very clear and easy to understand. I recommend it to anyone in music history as a supplemental textbook.
Book Description
For the first time ever, Frank reveals the full story of the legendary Captain of Craps, the man who invented the 5-Count and the Supersystem, from his childhood in Brooklyn during the Great Depression to his adventures in World War II to his postwar business booms and busts, and to his discovery of the 5-Count and his assembling of the Crew.
Customer Reviews:
Weak, little decent information..AGREED.......2006-09-18
I have had this book for awhile and re-read it last night.. Overall, this book is a disappointing read. The only worthwhile material in the book is the 5-count and his section on crap comps which I thought could have been expanded. The rest is stories and added technical fluff. 5-count is the key in his system and if you do not know what it is, I would pick up one of his books for the concept and knowledge... just not this one.
I would recommend 'Winning Craps for the Serious Player' J. Edward Allen. Very good book.
The Five Count, the Captain, and Dice Control .......2006-05-22
Scoblete has written about the mysterious "Captain," his patented "five count" method for qualifying shooters, and the essence of dice control elsewhere. But this is the first book where he puts them altogether in a five-step system for advantage play. I have all of Scoblete's books and this is one of my favorites.
A Masterpiece for sure.......2005-08-27
This book is a masterpiece of craps writing and the five step method is a winning method over the casinos.
You will learn:
How to control the dice.
How to bet on yourself.
How to use the 5-Count to bet on random rollers.
How to get more comps than you actually deserve.
How to get a monetary edge.
The book has a great section on darkside playing too.
The chapter on the Captain, his complete life story, is facinating. This is the father of the dice control movement and Scoblete really lets us meet him in a close way.
This book, as all Scoblete books, is well written and loaded with information.
Weak, little decent information.......2005-08-22
This Craps title isn't worth your time. It's full mostly of stories about craps players, and vague advice on the potential of dice control. The centerpiece of the book is the highly touted '5-count', which is nothing more than a betting system that gives you no chance of diminishing the house edge. Get Sharpshooter's book instead.
Unique Book Shows Why Captain can roll 147 Numbers.......2005-07-23
The greatest craps book ever written interms of how to get an edge over the house, including the story of the Captain, who just rolled 147 numbers!!!! You can read about this great roll at golden touch craps web site under the world records. The five steps to advantage play in this book can make you a winner.
