Book Description

Sexy swimwear has evolved along with the times. The sun-kissed bodies that filled the seams have always caught the eye of appreciative onlookers. Throughout the nation-defining decades of the 1930s and 1940s, the flawlessly famous bodies of models and movie starlets were often found clad in sexy sunwear and swimwear for the eager eyes of the world.

Throughout the pages of this first-of-its-kind book, you are bathed in the glowing images of swimwear that revealed the lives and livelihoods of the starlets and models that prompted our beach bound desires. Sun worshipers of every generation will enjoy the nostalgic images of the bathing beauties found between the covers of Sunkissed.

A great 30s - 40s fashion reference.......2006-04-18

It's obvious that "Sunkissed" is a labor of love. A nostalgic look at the glamor that was once Hollywood, "Sunkissed" is a trip back in time. The author, Joshua Curtis, captures the essance of the golden age of motion pictures with brilliant color layouts, original photographs and accurate text. This is one of those rare books that should occupy a perminant spot on the shelf because it will never become dated or out of style. A pure joy for any fan of the 1930s and 40s.

Retro resource.......2005-08-06

Great photos, lots of them--my only wish is it went up to 1959 and included more of the 50's. Not many of these beauties look that tan so 'sun kissed' is a good term. If you're looking for a good resource for period bathing suits this is it.

Beautiful Pictures Of Beautiful Stars.......2005-02-23

This is a book that any classic movie fan will love. It is filled with gorgeous photos of movie stars modeling swimwear. Many of the photos are in color and I have never seen them published anywhere else. Paulette Goddard, Betty Grable, Carole Landis, Gene Tierney, Marie McDonald, and Marilyn Monroe are among the many actresses featured in this terrific book. There is also a nice forward written by Ann Rutherford.

A Breath of Fresh Air.......2003-03-18

This book is full of beautifully restored photo's and insightful commentary. A must have for anyone.

An Excellent Book.......2002-08-17

Except your credits are bit off.

All of the editors you've listed are actually artists who contributed the art, comics and articles to the book.

The editors of Expo 2000 were Tom Devlin, Chris Oarr, Christian Panas, Jeff Alexander, Karon Flage, Greg McElhatton and Charles Brownstein.

The book is an annual anthology produced by the Expo/SPX in conjunction with the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund as a fund raiser for the CBLDF. Oni Press is not the publisher.

You did get the ISBN number right.

A good sampling of today's indy comics scene.......2000-09-23

An anthology of about 70 short works, there's no more economical way to sample such a wide range of comic book talent today. The standouts in this collection are by Dave Choe, Craig Thompson (Good-bye, Chunky Rice), Chris Ware (Acme Novelty Library), and David B.

Book Description

The buildings monograph series provides instructive and generously illustrated short publications useful for architects or planners designing for high-traffic public spaces, such as trade fairs, transportation terminals, or other flexible, multi-use structures.

Book Description

Die Schweiz präsentierte sich auf der EXPO 2000 in Hannover mit einer ungewöhnlichen Holzstruktur des Architekten Peter Zumthor. Dieser »Klangkörper Schweiz« beherbergte keine Ausstellung im herkömmlichen Sinne: der Pavillon selbst war das Ereignis. Architektur, Musik, Wort, Modedesign und Gastronomie verbanden sich zu einem Ort der Entspannung, des Genießens und Entdeckens. Da es im Schweizer Pavillon keine Erklärungen oder Verweise gab, wurde für die Gäste dieses Begleitbuch entwickelt. Es gibt Auskunft über nahezu alle Fragen, die sich dem Besucher des Pavillons stellen können, und wirkt so als Bindeglied zwischen dem unmittelbaren »Erlebnis Klangkörper« und der Realität jenseits des Pavillons. Durch die alphabetisch geordneten Stichworte erhält das Buch einen gezielt lexikalischen Charakter aber auch einen eigenständigen Wert: Es entwickelt sich zu einem außergewöhnlichen »Vademecum der Schweiz«, das einen aktuellen Querschnitt durch die Schweizer Kultur präsentiert.

The large, elegant roof over the central area of the world exposition park in Hanover is an outstanding example of architectural innovation from the host country. Its unusual wooden construction consists of 10 screens measuring 40m x 40m at a height of 20m. The ground surface is geometrically divided by pontoons, on which the pavilions are set up, and canals (measuring approx. 5m across), which link up large basins of water.

Need some stress relief?.......2003-02-11

For those of you planning a wedding, this is a way to take a fresh look at the whole process. Mimi Pond's book takes a slightly skewed look at the whole process that makes you laugh, and relieves some of the tension of the whole affair. While having never been married myself, I've watched others plan weddings, and lent it to numerous people -- they all enjoyed it as well. So remember to laugh while you plan your wedding! This will help you do it.

Book Description

How long have psychotherapists been depicted in films? Nearly as long as there have been films—or psychotherapists, for that matter. This isn't surprising if one considers that the Freudian revolution in psychology and the invention of motion pictures occurred at about the same time. What may be surprising is the sheer number of times that psychotherapists, in their many guises, have shown up in the movies and how their depiction has reflected changing social attitudes about psychotherapy over the last century.

This comprehensive worldwide filmography examines over 5000 movies. Films in which mental health professionals appear, or in which others act in that capacity, are listed alphabetically. A preface explains the criteria for a film's inclusion, and a lengthy introduction and guide to the filmography explores the changing social attitudes mirrored by the movies. Appendices list the titles by decade; alternate titles for many films; recent releases; and qualifying adult films.

Excellent for the Scrapper's reference library!.......2007-05-31

Although I have been scrapping for a few years, I found this to be a valuable resource. Don't be fooled by the title... it's not just for beginners. The format of the book is simple with what I call "idea launch pads". The book gets you started when you feel stumped!

Best Scrapbooking Techniques.......2006-11-10

I own many books on scrapbooking techniques and this is by far the best!
It is very detailed in it's explanation. A must if you are new to scrapbooking and a great addition to your techniques if you are an experienced scrapbooker.

An invaluable aide and informational resource.......2006-07-03

Great ideas.......2006-05-23

This book inspired me to finally organize my boxes and boxes of pictures. I have three kids, and all of the past 10 years of photos were in file boxes. I hadn't even put my wedding photos from 18 years ago in an album. This book helped me figure out some themes for albums and some completely new ways to embellish and enrich the pages. I even made each daughter her own scrapbook of baby pictures, complete with locks of hair, baby teeth and foot prints. They just love them.

Terrific book--Great addition to any scrapper's bookshelf.......2006-04-10

Rebecca and Jennifer have taken a lot of the stress out of learning to scrapbook. This book reads as though the two women are sitting next to you and gently guiding you along. Although I'm a seasoned scrapper, I found new ideas and new techniques I want to try. Best of all, the tone of the book was inspiring and helpful, which is exactly what a how to book should be.

Of all the many scrapbooking books I own, this is probably the most complete in terms of the areas covered. I picked up a great idea from the "Get Organized" section. The addition of computer tips was super--just enough without making it feel like you HAD to use your computer or you couldn't scrapbook. I also liked the section on mini and theme scrapbooks.

All in all, this book is a classic that deserves a place on every scrapbooker's bookshelf!

Great resource for serious eBay sellers.......2006-07-02

Whether you are a serious eBay seller who wants to expand your business, or if you are someone new to the auction industry who wants to start a new business - this is the book for you! I found this book to be simultaneously light-hearted and informative, which is hard to do when writing about business topics. Then again, it is about eBay! My copy of this book has become quite dog-eared and marked up as I constantly refer to it time and again, but I love it. The writers go into a lot of detail about the technical and business sides of running an eBay business without regurgitating the same information found in other eBay books. They provide fresh concepts and great ideas that sellers will be inspired by.

A very informative book.......2006-04-25

This book was a very easy read, full of very helpful information. I didn't want to mark it, so I could re-sell it. But, this book is a keeper. I'm going to refer to it from time to time. It is just full of great information and ideas that I hope to put into motion. I've been only selling since July 2005, so I'm still on a very steep learning curve. This book is going to help me quite a bit, as soon as I can put some of these great ideas into effect. I Highly recommend this book, especially to someone who already has some selling experience on ebay.

This book absolutely left me breathless-I could not put it down. I wished I had read it prior to starting my ebay business in March of 2005-nevertheless; no ebayer should be without this priceless tool. I had the recent opportunity of meeting one of the authors, Charlene Davis, and she is just as awesome as this book. I am so energized and ready to make my ebay business grow even more!!!! Thanks to both authors for making this ebay lingo work for all of us!!!!!

This is a great book for anyone, regardless of their experience level, who wants to sell on eBay either by starting a new business or adding eBay sales to an existing business. Well worth the time and money.

Make Big Profits on Ebay: The Ultimate Guide For Building a Business on Ebay.......2006-01-15

I was refered to this book by a rating, which rated it the best book of the month. Boy, were they right!! I am about to order another book for a friend...that is how much I love it, that I would rather buy one for her than lend mine out right now. It's a resource I don't want to be without for even a minute.

My store is almost 2 weeks old. I have made over $300 in sales and by years end hoping to add a few zeros to that number.

The thing is, I LOVE shopping on eBay, I love taking pictures, I love bargain hunting...and ofcourse passing on the savings to my customers and future customers. I have to be honest, some of the stuff I find, I like to much to sell and end up having to go for seconds. Then again, I love shopping, so this was totally up my alley.

I also have been a photo buff since I was 15, so I love taking pictures and editing them...it's like art work to me. I then get to share. I am still working on getting some more photo props and a tripod which will make life easier, and photography of merchandise more fun.

I am at an advantage, though; I live in NY so I have tons of wholesalers and manufacterers in this Metro area. It's just a matter of finding the right ones.

Right now, I am still in research phase. So far, so good.

Don't give up, if you like this sort of thing...it can really work for you. I am living it, right now and enjoying every minute.

You can check out how I added some of the tips to my store, and critics are welcomed.

Wish me luck and I wish you the same. Don't give up!!
