Miniatures Books

What can I say.. The book is perfect. Marvelous Quality! All images are in full colour and the print quality is excellent. The book is a must read for people in love with persian culture, poetry, fine arts and history. For the older generation this book will probably be enjoyed with their knowledge of persian poems or stories. For the younger generation this book is perfect for learning about the history of Iran and Iranian art and culture.
Persian Memories did a great job with sending this book. Even though they only send to US and Canada they still were kind enough to send this book all the way to Australia because of my persian background! It was perfectly wrapped and packed in bubbled envelope and was not bent or dented at all. If i could give this rating an 11 out of 5 i Would!

Whether you tuck this small treasure in your desk at work or place it on the nightstand at home, you must use it. You will definitely have the upper hand in your next verbal battle with the enemy. Be offensive with style!

Both stories true to the Sherlockian canon, and well chosen: The Five Orange Pips, and The Blue Carbuncle. Too bad there is no series to match this; it would be an instant hit with the many Sherlockian scholars and societies of the Baker Street Irregulars.

It is the most wonderful book to teach children.

I just got the book today and glancing through it I really liked the step by step pictures and pictures even of materials and tools needed. I got it mainly for the parade patterns I plan to shrink it down to sm scale as that is the scale I work in the most. She even has a scale conversions listed which makes it easy to use to shrink down. The book is well worth the price. Very detailed. I love the patterns section!

This is an excellent miniature edition of Bach's Brandenburg Concerti. It has an interesting and informative preface, including a small list of variants from the MS. Moreover, the price is right, and while the print is extremely small, the engraving is very clear, making the edition easily readable. This is a very good deal.

First of all, let me note that I read the book in Korean (the original version), so I cannot speak for the translation.

There seem to be numerous works by Western authors regarding Asian culture including that of Japan in the market today. Yet, I have never heard of any other book about Japan whicn is as discussed and read by Japanese people as this book. I am an Asian myself, so I might be a bit biased in saying the following; I find the efforts and dedication of the aforementioned Western authors very noble, yet they often do not have a clue. In many instances, they would find a Japanese trait and/or characteristic, and assume that it is an pan-asian element, or vice versa, thus failing to pinpoint the distinguishing characteristic of the culture. As German culture is very different from English, French and American, so is Japanese culture from any other asian countries. Mr. Lee, the author of this book, is a Korean professor and scholar. He brilliantly distinguishes what is Japanese from What is Asian, and distills Japanese culture into a very simple thesis. More amazingly, he does this without sacrifising depth.

He uses all aspects of his knowledge (and his knowledge is enormously expansive); he draws from Japanese language, Japanese theater, music, religion, myths, sports, history, etc. All the while, he does not sidetrack, but stays on the thesis of the book, guiding the readers with him. Whenever you think that he is done making his brilliant point, he give you another, another and another. This is a must read for anyone interested in Japan.

"so many gifts" is a wonderful story of Santa. It makes the transition from "believing" to "not believing" smooth and joyous. The story instills the spirit of Santa, Christmas and giving using a beautiful series of illustrating and words. It is truly a wonderful story to be read by adults and children alike.
