Designers Books

First off, let me make it clear if you haven't figured it out yet - this game ain't for kids.

Barring that, this is a hysterical book, if you're a gamer and have the right mindset. If you even think you'll be offended by it, you will be. However, if you can look at yourself and laugh, and realize the whole point of it, you'll be surprised both by the humor involved and the thinking that you'll do about your own actions in RPGs.

The system should never be played. However, I do like the idea of each weapon doing both hits and pain. I might use it in another game.

Long since forgot by most fantasy art fans, Virgil Finley inspired me to become an artist myself. His AWESOME works in the 40,s and 50,s inspired the likes of Frank Frazetta and Richard Corben. Publishers in the 1950,s chose Finley to illustrate "The First Book of Space Travel" and many pulp fiction magazine illustrations as well. Buy it, love it and You will never forget VIRGIL FINLEY!

This book is one of the most interesting biographies! It bring this wonderful author alive with many anecdotes about the woman who gave us The Little House and Mike Mulligan. She was a complicated person, and Barbara Elleman's writing makes this a page-turner. It's a coffee table book that will be read over and over!

Once again, another Stephen Gan masterpiece! Visionnaire 2000 works as a wondrous visual delight for anyone who adores the fashion world, art, and design in general. The format (text and visuals) is neat and appealing, and the photography memorable. As a sort of modern-day encyclopedia of fashion's most eccentric and notable renegades, this colorful documentary is both inspirational and entertaining.

If my bookcase were on fire, I would be willing to burn my hand to save this book. I am currently studying anesthesia at Columbia University, and I still draw on the things (oops, no pun intended) I learned from this book during my career in architecture.

If process and developing ideas is what you want, this is sure to jog your thinking.

This lovely hardbound edition makes a great addition to any Eames collection. The contents include a brief history of the designers along with examples of their furniture. Each piece is shown in different settings and positions. Wonderful diagrams show the breakdown of the materials. It is written in german, french and english.

A fabulous book for anyone interested in the fashion business. A must-have for any true design afficionado. No bookshelf should be without.

Lowestoft a quiet seaside town in Suffolk was in the front during World War II. Bombing raids, fire and trips to the air raid shelter bacame almost daily events for young Micheal Foreman growing up in the 1940's. He lived in a small house with his mother himself and his brother's( his father had died when he was a baby).

Humorous and intelligent account of one man's experiences during World War II and then in theatre design primarily in New York City during the late 1940's through the 1970's. Full of original sketches by this Broadway pioneer. Would be of interest to anyone who loves theatre history.

Those of us who have Microsoft Frontpage 1.0 for Macintosh NEED this book. The Microsoft manual that comes with the CD is one of the least-informative books I have ever read in my life. Trying to find help using this program has been even worse. Anyone who needs help with Frontpage for Macintosh version 1.0 needs this book. It may the be the only help they can get! It gives great examples and figures to follow as well as being easy to read. You will find yourself immediately able to apply the information you come across. You will save yourself a lot of time and headaches!
