Eunoia
Christian Bok Manufacturer: Coach House Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items: ASIN: 1552450929 |
Book Description
'Eunoia' which means 'beautiful thinking' is the shortest English word to contain all five vowels. This book also contains them all, except that each one appears by itself in its own chapter. A unique personality for each vowel soon emerges: the courtly A, the elegiac E, the lyrical I, the jocular O, and the obscene U. A triumphant feat, seven years in the making, this uncanny work of avant-garde literature promises to be one of the most important books of the decade.Customer Reviews:

An instant favorite.......2002-11-21
I've lent this book to dozens of people, and to be honest, not everyone has appreciated it in the same way I have. Some people have read the first page and handed it back saying "I don't get it" or "it makes my head hurt". Clearly, this book is not for everyone.
If you have a passion for language you will love this book. If you like word-play, you will love this book. If you appreciate "cleverness" you will love this book. I smiled the whole way through it out of sheer amazement and disbelief. By far the best thing I've read this year, and something that I will continue to revisit over the years to come.

ASIN: 0517084708 Release Date: 1992-10-14 |
Book Description
Barbara Taylor Bradford provides three engrossing, unabridged examples of the skills that have made her the mega-selling queen of the romantic page-turner.Love In Another Town is the stirring account of a woman's attempt to forge a new life after a failed marriage and estrangement from her grown children. When Maggie Sorrell falls in love with the much younger Jake Cantrell, she begins an emotional renewal that must overcome the disapproval of others as well as the shackles of the past.
Everything To Gain tells the heart-wrenching story of a woman whose perfect life, in one tragic and violent moment, is turned into one of devastating loss and despair. Following the senseless murder of her husband and children, Mallory Keswick's life seems to have no purpose, and she considers ending it. The kindness of her late husband's mother starts Mallory on the road to discovering talent she never knew she had. The story of her recovery and salvation is told with the sensitivity and drama that the millions of Bradford fans have come to expect.
A Secret Affair adds the romantic backgrounds of the Venetian canals, the exclusive beaches of the Hamptons, and the danger-fraught cityscape of wartime Sarajevo to the story of the illicit love affair between a young artist and a famous TV newsman. The desperate measures they must take in order to be together and the gripping events that envelop their lives result in an exceptionally moving story.

Jim Parsons is a talented doctor, skilled at the most advanced medical techniques and dedicated to saving lives. But after a bizarre road accident leaves him hundreds of years in the future, Parsons is horrified to discover an incredibly advanced civilization that zealously embraces death.

But Parsons is not the only one left who believes in prolonging life, and those who share his beliefs have desperate plans for Dr.Parsons' skills, and for the future of their society.

I give this book and the author's fabulous designs my highest rating. I get much relaxation working challenging patterns and learning new techniques, but again, that all depends on the individual and if one hobby makes one anxious, it may not be the one for them.

Typography Now: The Next Wave

ASIN: 1873968426 |
Book Description
First published in 1991 to wide acclaim, Typography Now: The Next Wave rapidly established itself as the one indispensable guide to new experimental typography. Now available in paperback, this is the ground-breaking international survey that plotted the changing landscape of letter forms - from anti-professionalism of Edward Fella to the neo-modernist rigour of 8VO, from Zuzana Licko's Emigre fonts to Barry Deck's type for an imperfect world, from the extraordinary, deconstructed telephone book to seminal projects from Cranbrook Academy of Art.A lucid introduction by design critic Rick Poynor, editor of Eye Magazine, traces the origins of next wave Typography, whether digital or hand-made, and explains the thinking that gives it shape.

Buy it!.......2001-03-29
This book however does not teach you how to create great designs, or how great designs are created. It doesn't tell you the rules of typography etc. All it does is showing you the designs related to typography by some designers. If you're looking for ideas, this is the book for you.

The Sound of Silence: Conversations With 16 Film and Stage Personalities Who Bridged the Gap Between Silents and Talkies
Michael G. Ankerich Manufacturer: McFarland & Company ProductGroup: Book Binding: Library Binding ASIN: 078640504X |
Book Description
Marion Shilling began her career as a silent film ingenue for MGM and later went on to become one of the top heroines in Westerns of the 1930s. Stage actress Esther Muir made the transition from Broadway to Hollywood just as talkies became popular. Hugh Allan was a leading man in the last years of the silents only to leave the film business in 1930 because of the uncertainty surrounding his transition to sound films and his disgust with studio politics. These three performers and thirteen others (Barbara Barondess, Thomas Beck, Mary Brian, Pauline Curley, Billie Dove, Edith Fellows, Rose Hobart, William Janney, Marcia Mae Jones, Barbara Kent, Anita Page, Lupita Tovar, and Barbara Weeks) reminisce here about Hollywood and the movie business as it made the transition from silents to talkies. For the stage actors, sound films were a natural move. Some of the silent actors were not so fortunate, often finding the studios reluctant to use their talents. These men and women, most in their seventies and eighties, provide a unique look at a crucial period in film history.Customer Reviews:
