Studios Books

This is an older crochet book, but still has plenty of good patterns. M's Calder gives the basic instructions on the various projects, but leaves the details (colors, design) up to the reader. The crocheted items are colorful as well as inspiring. Most projects are made in the (American) single crochet (British double crochet and are easy to understand and create. I recommend this book highly to spice up your crocheting.

A great addition to the games using the Savage World's rule system. Lots of fun to play. Easy characters to get into and every gaming session is filled with fun! The art has a really cool style, as well.

Its the best Catalogue ever its a complete book containing the Lynn Chadwick's work, its Art History " ITS A MUST HAVE"

This is a great calender, unforunently it is overpriced here. I got from a store for $1.

I recently took over the website for the school I'm a network admin at. Being the first website I've ever managed, and the first time I've ever used the Macromedia Studio software, I decided to look for a book to help me when I couldn't figure something out myself. This book does just that. It doesn't get into every little detail on how to do everything, but gives you just the right info you need to get going in the right direction. Easy to read and good for a beginner.

All of Mary Pope Osborne's books are great fun to read and listen to on audiocassette. Both my son and I never grow weary of listening . . . we know them by heart and will often repeat certain lines aloud, smiling and laughing at Jack & Annie's adventures.

When your professor comes over the first day of class and leafs through your brand new book and says, "Where did you get this...it's a great introduction to this class!" then proceeds to tell you he knows some of the potters and works pictured...you know it's a GREAT book. From learning where clay comes from and the techniques from pinching and coiling to the wheel and sculpture, I found great tips and photos to help me along and inspire my "creations." Then came texturing, coloring and glazing and firing techniques. I've actually bought the book as a gift for Mr. Pace (from amazon.com, naturally) and his future students because I found it SO helpful.

A real glimpse into the past, this book offers traditional and unique crafts that sailors in the tall ship days made while on voyage. The book has become quite a coveted item among vintage nautical collectors and modern craft enthusiasts looking for historic craft design ideas.

The collaborative effort of furniture and woodworking experts Edward S. Cooke, Jr., Gerald W. R. Ward, and Kelly H. L'Ecuyer, The Maker's Hand: American Studio Furniture 1940-1990 beautifully displays elegant wooden furniture impressively enhanced with full color photography. Examining the original and distinctive nature of studio furniture in strict contrast to mass-produced furnishings, The Maker's Hand dwells upon function of these creations, as well as their qualities as three-dimensional, ultimately resonant, and enduring examples of the workworker's art. The Maker's Hand is a welcome and highly appreciated addition to personal, professional, and community library Woodworking, Antiques/Collectibles, and American Furniture reference collections.
