Book Description
"The nude has always been a source of inspiration and one of the main themes of photography." The introduction to this small brick-format book—the shape alone already makes it conspicuous—briefly and concisely describes the special quality of this title. Various perspectives of the naked body are presented to the observers' eyes, representing the diverse interpretations of photographers from all over the world. The motifs Man, Woman, and Pair open up a world of the senses that has much more to offer than just a nude that one can touch. This artful feast for the eyes is a must for everyone.
Customer Reviews:
Love Indexxi!.......2006-03-26
I loved this book! It had tons of sexy photography ideas which you can use for valentines or anniversary pictures.
Not that great..........2006-01-03
The book is small 5 x 5 and all the pictures are b&w. Most of the pictures have a softened (grainy) tone. I prefer clear pictures. Most of the subjects are normal people and unknown.
for all Kingdome19 fans.......2005-07-06
You find in that book previously unreleased works
by the great german photographer / photographist Kingdome19.
The content with male models are sadly a little bit low.
Together a book with hundreds of nudes . female & male
Nudes...if you can find them..........2005-05-10
In the 500 plus pages of this book there are a dozen good nudes, possibly twenty. The rest of the photos are poor quality shots, with plenty of fig leafing, Shadows, poor lighting, and shots supposedly getting erotic by covering up the models. If the reader wants to see what's in the book, borrow it from a library and order a much better nude photo album, like 100 naked girls, or Crazy Sexy Girls, or Shaven Angels.
A great collection of nudes from photographys best........2004-05-25
I came across this little book during one of my frequent trips to the photo section of my local Borders and had to pick it up. Mainly due to is very small size.
I was soon trapped flipping through the hundreds and hundreds of pages of beautiful nude photographs, unable to put the book down.
The only text in this book is a bit at the beginning and end and then the name of each photographer before you see their work. Thats it. No rambling text, just great nude photos.
This collection feature many of the worlds best nude photographers and is broken down into three sections. Female nudes, Male nudes, and couple nudes. It really cant get much more simple that that.
The book is printed on good gloss heavyweight paper, as you would expect to find in photo monographs and has a sturdy hardback.
Although a great collection of photos and printed well, I am a bit disappointed in the book size. It only measures about 3inches by 3inches, and because of the large number of photos inside, the weight of the book tends to deteriorate the binding fast if viewed a lot. Also, I have found it hard to find a good place for this tiny book on my shelf. It just doesnt fit in very well. But becuase the book is so good and the downfalls are few, I only took one star.
I still feel that all nude photography fans should purchase this book for their collection at its very cheap price.

Customer Reviews:
Like Bush, Mediocre.......2006-08-10
I was disappointed in the quality of the cartoons. Sorry, but I had expected some from the top-flight editorial cartoonists of America. These seem to be confined to one service. You won't want to use this review, I'm sure.
The Highs and Lows of the Bush........2006-03-12
If you wish a whimsical history of the Bush presidency, choose THE BIG BOOK OF BUSH CARTOONS! THE HISTORY OF THE BUSH PRESIDENCY IN CARTOONS! Editorial cartoons gained from the best political cartoonists contribute a diversity of drawing, perspective and focus in revealing the history of Bush's interactions around the world, from his initial hanging chad election to the war in Iraq. Black and white cartoons are as large as a full page, while others are four to a page: all provide fun commentary those with a sense of humor and interest in social and political issues will appreciate.
The Bush Follie's.......2006-02-21
The satire in the book is very good... the man in the White House at the moment cannot speak any more that two sentences at a time....
Something for everyone.......2005-11-25
You don't have to hate President Bush to like this book! Granted, most of the cartoonists are liberal and take their best jabs, but the humor in the irony that permeates politics transcends party affiliation. The conservative cartoonists are outstanding, too! With this book, Cagle continues the great job he does every day with his world-famous website. IMHO, anyone who flames this book either a) hasn't read it, or, b) is demonstrating some sort of professional jealousy.
Not so fast..........2005-11-19
This book highlights the author, his boyfriend and a few other cartoonists, leaving out the giants (Oliphant, Toles, Danziger, Conrad, Sack, etc.) in the field. Skip this one and wait for the Best of 2005/6 (which, alas, is also to be edited by Gagle leaving the numerous repetitive contributions in question as to their relevance under the banner "Best".

Customer Reviews:
A let-down.......2005-01-15
I was very excited about this book. I thought it would talk all about stuff important to readers, like reading more than one book at once, etc. Instead, it is more like a gag gift. It actually has a chapter on people who eat books! It left me disappointed. If you want a book about readers, for readers, about reading-oriented issues, not weird trivia, try Sara Nelson's "So Many Books, So Little Time."
I learned..........2004-02-13
...about this book from the head of my English department at college a year ago. She's a book addict. I'm a worse one. I lost count of my library after hitting 10,000. I buy books far, far faster than I can read them (last count: 823). I keep a master list on MS Excel of all the books I want to buy 'some day'. Current total: 1714. I have no shelf space left. No closet space left. No room in the basement or attic. And there's no 12-step group for biblioholics.
This book was the perfect thing to make my husband read to show him I wasn't the only book addict in the world. The fact that it was hiliarious didn't hurt, either.
Biblioholics Anonymous.......2003-07-18
I have never seen a book get to the heart of my psyche like this one!!! I could not believe the descriptions! I am a compulsive bookbuyer--and reader--this book helped me realize that there are others out there.
My Name Is Xrysostom and I am a Biblioholic.......2003-01-03
This is the first book I recommend to friends who already have "too many books" (as if that were possible!). While humorous, Raabe's book also gives historical insight into people who make most current avid collectors pale by comparison. And he shows the range of reasons why people acquire volumes, whether to boost one's social standing, to admire, to eat, or even to read. Amazingly, while I've lent my copy several times, it's always come back (maybe the chapter about sticky-fingered borrowers tweaks consciences).
Fair.......2002-07-14
I love books about books. I purchased this one on a whim. Although I like the comedic aspect of this book, it really did not fulfill my need to read about the love of books.
I would definitely consider this more of a humour book than any kind of serious look at the love of books. Good for a laugh though.

Book Description
She is the world's most famous widow, the often maligned, largely mysterious Japanese avant-garde artist whose relationship with John Lennon turned them into a single entity: JohnandYoko. It took the death of John for the world to finally warm to her, yet she remains controversial and confrontational, an icon of unpredictability, and the most misunderstood figure in the ongoing saga of the greatest pop group the world has ever known.
Customer Reviews:
Disappointing rhetoric.......2006-08-11
This book contains exerpts/sentences coming straight from interviews that both Ono & Lennon had done over the years. There are a few remarks from others, Julian, Sean, & the like, nothing insightful into what makes Ono tick as an artist, just a few choice moments of rhetoric yet again being conveyed, very archival. Disappointing read.
Book Description
In this easy-to-read guide, Grandmaster and Queen's Indian expert John Emms goes back to basics, studying the essential principles of the Queen's Indian and its numerous variations. Throughout the book there are an abundance of notes, tips, and warnings to guide improving players, while key strategies, ideas, and tactics for both sides are clearly illustrated.
Customer Reviews:
A superb primer for intermediate to advanced chess players .......2004-12-12
Starting Out: The Queen's Indian is a solid, practical chess guide to "The Queen's Indian", one of the most well-known defenses Black has to the queen's pawn opening. By striving to control the central squares with pieces rather than pawns, The Queen's Indian balances risk with reward, and leads to complex situations favored by aggressive and positional players alike. Extensively detailed notes, sample games, dissection of key strategies, tips, tricks, and techniques for both sides make Starting Out: The Queen's Indian a superb primer for intermediate to advanced chess players seeking to hone their skills.
Its just the fisrt step........2004-11-22
The indirect aproach in chess bascally developed by Nimzowitsch in the 1920`s (at the same time Liddell Hart was developing the Indirect Aproach in the military leading to what we know today as Blitzkrieg) made a whole of chess players to adopt these patterns when playing. Larsen, Petrosian and many others made themselves by studying "My Sistem" and results are there to see it. As an Indirect Aproach fan i use openings like the Nimzoindian, Queen Indian, Nimzo-Larsen Attack and the sicilian (i enjoy the dragon). These Book by Mr. Emms is very good, very strategic, with clear ideas, its not a winning with and most important at all its the easy reading it represents. Of course you will need to go to other Queen indian books to sharpen your knowledge. Then we can consider this book as the first step only, but it will make it a lot easier to understand future reading on these opening. Enjoy these book and good luck in the next tournament. (Read also my reviews on the Nimzo-Larsen attack and the Modern Defence both books by everyman chess)

All hype, all fluff, completely worthless.......2007-09-22
I'll save you irreplaceable time and hard-earned money - don't click 'add to cart!'
This "book" could be reduced to a few typed up pages of text - but they spaced it way out (huge margins, small pages, big type) to bulk it up into a waste of space book.
The content is unoriginal, nothing not seen in most other marketing-rich-quick books, and 52 pages of about 200 are dedicated to Domino's Pizza and how wonderful it is. (are we done yet?)
And the $397 worth of surprises? Mostly more get-rich-quick 'e-books' with actual retail values set by the AUTHORS! or MP3s of this wizard pontificating about topics he has little insight about. Yawn.
I'd send it back if I could. AVOID! AVOID! AVOID!
3 seconds or less..........2007-08-15
Well, I'm not one to believe hype and I still don't think it can be done in 3 seconds or less, but I am amazed at the tricks that I did pick up. Worth more than a 3 second perusal.
An excellent addition to any marketer's library.......2007-06-28
I am a professional PR and marketing man. I constantly strive to hone my skills by reading trade articles and books about the subject. If you hope to become adroit at marketing, you must do the same.
The Irresistible Offer is an excellent book that teaches the nuts and bolts of putting together a product and brand message. It explains how you can refine your product's message into a 3-second touchstone that conveys the features and benefits of your product to prospective customers at a glance.
The psychology and theory behind this book is excellent. I would recommend it as an addition to any marketer's library.
-Craig Nybo, author of Total Human: The Complete Strength Training System
Every Marketing Professional Should Own This Book.......2007-06-27
This book is a must read if you are in marketing or advertising. This book not only explains how to create an irresistible offer, but it also shows you how to use intensifyers to get customers to take action. Overall, one of the most useful marketing books I have ever read.
This book is an "Irresistible Offer".......2007-06-21
The title itself is an excellent example of "the irresistible offer." The "3 seconds or less" refers to the amount of time you have with a prospect to get and capture their attention. However, the way the title of the book is written, you could interpret it to mean it will only take you 3 seconds or less to learn how to sell your product. Now that's great copywriting! And for anyone who wants to succeed in business, this book is a great reference. Buy it. Read it. Apply the lessons. And succeed. Even after nearly 30 years in advertising, I learned from this book.
