1 comments about The Book on Chickens.
- I disagree with the previous reviewer. I love Mr. Davis' art and he has a huge following for his Schmid figurines. This book, while a bit oddly aimed at both kids and adults, is charming. The story is cute, the drawings fun and the inclusion of Mr. Davis' more serious works only add to the appeal of the book. Mr. Davis draws chickens wonderfully and anyone who owns chickens will be able to identify with the antics of the birds in his book. Each page is a treat in itself, especially the rendition of Goldie's wedding wagon! The baby chicks scattered on the pages are each doing what chicks do best--exploring, asking "Why?" and getting into trouble. Parents will get a laugh out of the exhausted expressions on Big Jack and Goldie. Plenty here to appeal to everyone!

1 comments about The Atlas of Atlases: The Map Maker's Vision of the World.
- This pleasant casual book on cartography is richly illustrated. Particulary appealing are the reporductions of the atlas maps in situ, with the atlas open to the map and the other pages and edges of the cover visible. Along similar lines, several closed atlases are pictured allowing one to view the cover and clasps. Also interspersed throughout this text are cartouches and title pages.
I would not consider this an authoritative review of cartography. For example the maps illustrated from the monunmental 1513 Waldseemeuller Geography include two maps of Africa, and a map of Crete, hardly considered among the most influential maps from that Atlas. Nonetheless, this is a pleasurable book, richly illustrated, with an emphasis on the visual not written experience.
Note that this book was reprinted in the U.S. in 2000, with the title "Mapmaker's Art", a more appropriate title given the book's emphasis.

1 comments about Canadian Coins (51st Edition) - The Charlton Standard Catalogue.
- If you collect Canadian coins, this book is invaluable. This book has a section on how to grade Canadian coins with an emphasis on what to look for when grading coins. Although the prices are in Canadian Dollars, the values are in some ways higher than Krause. Included are pattern and trial stike coins, as well as sections on pre-1867 coinage and Newfoundland. This book is to Canadian Coins what Red Book is for US Coins.
