1 comments about Tapestry in the Baroque: Threads of Splendor (Metropolitan Museum of Art Publications).

1. Published to accompany last year's exhibition at the Met in NYC, this is a wonderful artbook, replete with luxurious full-color illustrations and close-ups of the tapestries exhibited, most of which come from European museums (Madrid and Vienna in particular). The text is highly informative (on weaving techniques, on the artists involved, on the patrons, on the significance of the depicted scenes, etc), almost encyclopedic on this form of art long considered as minor and justly rehabilitated with this collector's piece of a book.

3 comments about Japanese Movie Posters: Yakuza, Monster, Pink, and Horror.

1. If you buy one book on Japanese cinema this year, this is it. They have done a terrific job of laying out the history of Japanese film in poster format, in correct color no less, with
   a lot of useful information for the Japanese film buff, and collector since many of the posters are available to order right from this publication. My only comment is when will their next
   book be issued? Enjoy!



2. I discovered this new book put out by Tokyo-based DH Publishing by accident. And am glad I did. Chock full of full-page full-color posters of the most wonderfully wackiest of Japan's classic movie posters. There's everything from Horror and Monster to Samurai and Ninja, Pink (what they call soft porn) to Anime, and even some new posters thrown in. My best is easily the Sci-Fi genre, which includes the ultimate Ultraman. Also, you gotta check out some of the Monster posters, like Godzilla and some huge Ice Man creature. I bought two of these, as I knew it would make that perfect present when you've run out of ideas what to buy someone. DH Publishing arigato! I'm going to check out their other books. I hope they're as good!



3. Japanese Movie Posters: Yakuza, Monster, Pink And Horror is an eye-opening, full-color presentation of movie posters representational of the best and the worst of Japan's cinema. From lurid and graphic horror to yakuza movies to posters of Hayao Miyazaki's wondrous words of animation, Japanese Movie Posters offers an unforgettable slice of Japanese popular culture in the twentieth century. Brief yet erudite and scholarly commentaries by Chuck Stephens (contributing editor to "Film Comment", a columnist for "Kinema Junpo, and a freelance specialist in Asian cinema for publications worldwide), Tetsuya Masuda (vintage poster expert and head of the cinema section of wonder antiquarian books), and Kairakutei Black (a Japanese film critic and traditional "rakugo" comic storyteller) offer informed and informative insights into the psychology and media background of the individual posters round out this impressive collection. A unique compendium of cinematic poster art, Japanese Movie Posters is a welcome and highly recommended addition to any personal or academic Cinematic Studies reference collection.

   B. Wood conveys in her photos that life can be lived with enthusiasm and zeal at 100 years old.
   
   She inspires me on every level as a woman.
   
   A small yet magnificent book.

1 comments about Letters from the Lost Generation: Gerald and Sara Murphy and Friends, Expanded Edition.

1. I went through a phase of reading everything about Sara and Gerald Murphy and am completely fascinated by their lives, the impact that their lives had on their friends and the frank look at the lives of their friends. These friends happened to include: Hemingway, Leger, Dorothy Parker, Fitzgerald and more. Letters from the Lost Generation is a sampling of actual correspondence between the friends. Through this you learn of the beginning and ends of lives, marriages, and friendships.

4 comments about Authentic Shirley Temple Paper Dolls and Dresses (Paper Dolls).

1. This beautiful Shirley Temple paper doll and wardrobe is made so much more special because you are holding a piece of cultural history in your hands. Reprinted from a set of 1936 paper dolls, they are exquisite in color and design.
   
   This a must for any Shirley Temple collector or fan. And if you are too young to yet know about America's favorite child star, you will be dazzled by Shirley none the less.!



2. I love the drawings and the color. It is so lifelike.



3. If you love Shirley, the cutest child star, you will definately want this in your collection. This would make a great gift too. I enjoyed this book and the outfits are great. You can dress Shirley in the outfits that you have seen her in. Remember the pink dress? She can wear it forever. Children who are two young for Shirley's time will still enjoy this product. Dress up is always fun to play...this way you don't have to clean up all your clothes from your childs room!
