Customer Reviews:
bizzare... beautiful..........2001-09-20
For those of you who believe postcards are to be written on and mailed instead of tucked away in a drawer, this one's for you. Picasso did some really gorgeous and very strange stuff. Any one of your friends or family members would delight in getting one of these postcards in the mail.
Sending postcards can make for a wonderful hobby, and you might as well send something interesting so it will end up tacked to the fridge and not in the trash. Picasso's well-known works and some lesser-known pieces are included.

I really love this item. It's full color postcards are very stunning. As a fan of Pablo Picasso, this Item is really a great thing to have either to admire or send to others.

Book Description
Christian Lacroix is one of the world's most admired and influential fashion designers, the embodiment of the style and glamour of French haute couture. This is his own account of his life and career, from his childhood in Arles to his arrival in Paris, where he was to meet his wife and partner, Franoise. Here his career started: from his first tentative steps at the House of Patou to his own label within the space of six years. In Lacroix's world visual imagery counts far more than words. Hundreds of lavish color and monochrome illustrations strikingly illuminate his story. Selected from Lacroix's sketchpads, his diary, his pinboard, and old family albums, they are interspersed with vividly remembered impressions that were the sources and springboards of his creativity--a mesmerizing Beaton portrait, the soft drapery of an Arlsienne costume, the feline face of an actress, the brio of a matador cape. Many sketches drawn especially for this publication decorate and complement the narrative. Fashion design, says Lacroix, is an area in which "processes beyond the reach of intellect are at work." Here we see into these processes. Memory, associations, and visual patterns from the conscious and the unconscious mind have fed his imagination to produce some of the most glorious and inventive designs of haute couture today.
Customer Reviews:
His Own Impressions.......2002-08-09
Fantastic! Christian gives a guided tour of his own work process, and personal advice as a professional designer. It's like reading his diary, or suddenly finding yourself as his closest confidant and assistant designer! He shares his own impressions of himself and his work. He shares details of how his personal life and his career developed - even from childhood- what inspires him, and what are his influences. Four stars because it's not a quick reference: dates, sources, locations not readily found.
A collage of souvenirs from a happy man........2000-05-14
Christian Lacroix brings coulours and light in each page of this book. In fact, this is more than a book; it is a personal gift made by Christian Lacroix to Françoise, his life, to his friends from Arles (where he was born) and to each invividual reader. Many hand-written comments, pink and yellow pages, naive inspiring rural objects. This is a perfect gift for somebody who already owns everything. Fresh, elegant, fashionable.

How you can realize the dream of tax-free real estate investment
Record numbers of investors are choosing real estate as a safe alternative to the stock market. In How to Invest in Real Estate and Pay Little or No Taxes, an expert acquaints investors with exemptions, exchange rules, and other tax shelters you can use to increase your ROIs by as much as 40 percent annually. Hubert Bromma clearly explains how they work and shows you how to use them to:
- Never pay taxes again on real estate investments
- Exchange their way to tax freedom
- Pay for college through tax-free real estate deals
- Use tax-exclusion credits when they mean the most
- Protect real estate investments from creditors
- Retire early and wealthy through tax-free real estate investments
Customer Reviews:
Good guide.......2006-11-11
This one may not get you 40% but it does tell you a unique trick with the IRAs. you can flip real estate over and over again without paying immediate taxes. the downside? you can't withdraw your earnings but for long term, it is awesome. the book talks about tax liens being used for IRAs, though I agree with that, do not use this book to learn about tax liens or tax sales, or you're gonna get burned. read up on Investing Without Losing (ISBN 0978834607 NOT on amazn, other stores) or something similar.
Other sources are better for 1031 information.......2006-03-20
Perhaps the author is much more gifted as a seminar speaker than he is as a writer. I think the book could use a re-write in which the repetitive information is eliminated, and the remaining material is cleaned up, possibly following the suggestions of Strunk and White as described in Elements of Style. The 1031 exchange information comprises 22 pages of the 244 page book, and I was particularly disappointed with this section. The author went into useless detail when describing the hypothetical examples; his character, Lisa, needed to paint and carpet her old building before putting in on the market -not relevant! In the next example, Roger's exchange was given such cursory treatment that the author failed to calculate the new basis for the replacement property correctly, inserting an erroneous figure into table 6-2. If you want to put investment real estate into your IRA or 401K, then this book may have merit. However, a quick internet search of "1031 exchange" will yield many more useful explanations than this book provides.
Useful Reference Book with Sound Strategies.......2005-07-04
This book will open your eyes to new ways of securing and increasing your assets tax-free. There are many details and step-by-step examples and different scenarios. If you are thinking of doing a 1031 like-kind exchange - this book will take you through the process and give you concise instructions on how do it and what mistakes to avoid. If you are interested in self-directed IRA's - keep in mind that you can use your retirement plan to invest in real estate. The author walks you through using your 401(K), your IRA, your HSA, and other vehicles to increase your portfolio by buying assets, including real estate.
If you want to own rental property, there is a way to have your self-directed IRA own it in its portfolio. If your IRA doesn't have enough money to purchase the entire property, you can borrow cash outside the IRA to purchase the property. The book shows how to draw up a Buy Letter under those circumstances. If you will be receiving rents from the property, you can hire an outside property manager, rather than having your IRA plan administrator do the work. But there are strict conditions and this book outlines them.
If you invest in real estate at all, or are thinking about it, this book is a definite must-read and could potentially save you thousands of dollars!
Easy read !.......2005-01-21
This book has great information and is easy to understand!
I have attended workshops by this author and this was exactly what I hoped for!
