3 comments about Ceramic Arts Studio: Identification and Price Guide (A Schiffer Book for Collectors).
- I have no idea how one person can shove all of this vast knowledge into one brain, but Mike Schneider does it...and does it repeatedly. He masterfully depicts the Ceramic Arts pieces with stunningly clear and crisp photographs (taken by the author). The dialogue in the book goes beyond normal collectible books and surpasses some of the novels I've read recently. Bottom line--this book is an asset to any collector, as are Schneider's other books (9 in all--on 9 differing subjects...WOW! )
- Excellent photos; was disappointed that it did not include values for additional pieces in sets he discussed. For example, I have 3 of 4 ballerinas he discussed but he did not give a price for one I have that he didn't. I am looking forward to his next edition.
- I had no idea of the variety or quality of figurines that Ceramic Arts Studio Pottery made. This book is packed with lots of color photos and useful information! This is a must have book for dealers and collectors of people and animal figurines made in the USA!

1 comments about The Mosaic Decoration of San Marco, Venice.
- The author organizes his thoughts of the Venetian mosaics on a room by room basis. Insightful comparisons are made with other eras of mosaic cultures. An excellent book for students of mosaic art who want to study this particular, worthy genre.
Perhaps the book's strongest appeal is the choice of color plates (photographs) the author chose to include in this book. All color plates are reproduced in a stunning high qualty for the price you pay. The number of color plates, however, are somewhat limited and leave you hungry for more. Perhaps that's caused by the subject matter. Overall, I'm very satisfied with this purchase.

1 comments about David Shrigley: Kill Your Pets.
- Not as off putting as the title suggests, Mr Shrigley presents more witty word play. Personal fav's are "I know what I did last summer", and "I wanna spend my wages"...which I did on this one actually! This has a few drawings as well, but mainly text pieces dominate in the printing.

2 comments about Artcore 1.
- Although sold like a book, this is really a magazine. This first edition starts the series dedicated to the female form in art. But this is not just a collection of pinups that have been popular for decades. Instead these poses show far more than is typical. As the punish title hints at, there is hardcore between these covers.
Most of the book has galleries of various artists but there are also two comic stories. The artists depicted are Lorenzo Speronga, Carlos Diez, Drew Posada, Shin, Marcus Gray, Jon Hul, Barbara Jensen, Sonia Roji, Easel Peetz, Steel, Harzak, Jeff Pittarelli and Erik Drudwyn. A number of other artists also have some art here. The stories are Angel Baby by David and Sperlonga, and Alrune by Greis and Robi.
Not for the faint of heart.
- There are a few nice pieces of art here but for the most part this collection is not that good. The comics that are inside are not that well drawn. Definately NOT WORTH THE PRICE!!
