Book Description

Admit it: you're here for the beaches, aren't you? Sure, we all know that Queensland's also got great dining, a thriving, accessible indigenous culture and a healthy international vibe. But it's the sun-kissed beaches, gentle warm sea and coral reef you're really here for, isn't it?

• GET WET - don scuba or snorkel gear and head beneath the waves to check out the Great Barrier Reef's colorful scenes

• GET BRONZED on some of Australia's finest sun-kissed beaches in between dips in clear, warm waters to cool off

• GET SCARED - whether dangling on the end of a bungy rope, leaping our of a plane or checking out a crocodile farm

• GET STUFFED - fill your face with fresh seafood at a posh Noosa eatery, sample eclectic international fare at Cairn's restaurants, or enjoy cafe lattes and live music streetside in Brisbane

Almost completely useless.......2007-01-10

My husband and I like travelling. We are used to Lonely Planet series.
But this one has been almost completely useless. We are always careful to get the most up-to-date version, and if it hasn't been updated in the last two years we definitively don't rely on it alone, only as background information.
On the inside of the cover, it is said this 2006 version has been lately reviewed. However EVERYTHING except some addresses were out of date.
Furthermore the guidebook doesn't provide a lot of information or description as we were used when using Lonely Planet guidebooks for our travelling in Asia.
We got much more and for free at the Tourist Information Office, which address it is true we had found in the Lonely Planet guidebook. But even the address of the Cairns' QWSP Office(Queensland Wildlife Bureau, where you can get park permits) was wrong. The cost of living, including restaurant were all wrong. It is NOT true that vacation is cheap there. It is definitively more expensive than the US. Indeed Queensland has learnt the value of the Great Barrier, and how much money they can get for it from the tourism. It is a real business.
Saying that we enjoyed very much our time there: people are nice (I love their humour), landscape and 'seascape'were marvellous, food expensive but very fresh and tasty, especially seafood. It was just a pity we had to be careful over our spending because we didn't expect and so plan the local expenses.

To come back to Lonely Planet guidebooks, it is the second one in few months that has disappointed us. The first one was on Kauai Island, Hawaii. May be we should only consider Lonely Planet for Asia and Latin America destinations.

This book is going to make Frank Frazetta fans very, very happy. Icon: A Retrospective by the Grand Master of Fantastic Art Frank Frazetta is a comprehensive look at the work of one of the world's most influential fantasy artists. Frazetta's entire career is covered, from his earliest work on L'il Abner to his unused poster art for Quentin Tarantino's From Dusk Till Dawn; from his powerful interpretations of Robert E. Howard's Conan character to his whimsical Hollywood parodies. More than a hundred full color prints of Frazetta's most representative work are collected here in a single handsome edition, along with photographs of the artist and his studio, quotes, and testimonial biography.

The subject matter of Frazetta's work is familiar--brawny warriors, buxom enchantresses, and terrifying monsters--but he manages to infuse them with a rare charisma. His figures are sublime, at once naturalistic and hyper-real, and his vivid use of colors startles the eye again and again. Incredibly, this collection manages to do justice to his decades of award-winning work. Icon is a must for the serious Frazetta enthusiast. --Brendan J. LaSalle

Book Description

The incredible paintings of Frank Frazetta have brought him worldwide fame, legions of loyal fans, and scores of imitators. His darkly dramatic Conan the Barbarian oils and the equally powerful and erotic compositions for the works of Edgar Rice Burroughs have become the ultimate standards of excellence in the fantasy and adventure field. Icon was Franzetta’s first major retrospective in his 55-year career. Lavish full-color reproduction on deluxe art paper showcases over 65 major finished oil paintings, 25 drawings, and other pieces. This new softcover edition contains 32 new pages of additional, never-before-published art and photos. New material includes paintings of Woody Allen and Peter Sellers; concepts of Clint Eastwood for the movie poster to The Gauntlet; original concepts for the Conan book cover paintings; and character drawings for the Broadway production of Li'l Abner.

Customer Reviews:

Frazetta was the best.......2007-07-15

I read Edgar Rice Burroughs novels as a teen and will never forget the impact of the Frazetta covers. His heros, the settings and the creatures were so wild and vivid; plus I think he definitely set my ideals of feminine beauty for life. This collection is a must for anyone who wants a good biography of F.F. along with some great reproductions of his best work.

The cover came off! .......2007-06-26

Frazetta is great and this book is swell... however (as one other reviewer also experienced) the cover came off my book after I had it for only one week! I couldn't believe it! To credit of the publisher they did send me a replacement. I think I will buy the sequel now. Too bad it's only available in hardcover, but at least that way the cover is much less likely to fall off. As for the third book, it seems to be completely unavailable except to those who are willing to pay over a hundred dollars for it!

See For Yourself.......2007-05-16

Words cannot describe the beauty and passion in Frazetta's work; This book is filled with amazing art, from the original sketches to the final product; Lots of personal photographs and insightful narratives help to make this a satisfying package, but the artwork alone makes this book a must have. From his early career doing comic books and movie posters, to the grand scale of his fantasy art, this is a book that is sure to excite any and all who have a shred of creativity within them. Totally inspiring book!!!

Icon: A retrospective by the Grand Master of the Fantastic Art.......2007-02-08

Quite a volume if you a Frank Frazetta fan. You might even discover some hidden facts about Frank or artwork that you hadn't seen before. It is very complete.

Fantastic!.......2007-01-10

If you like adventure you will love this book. It brings out the kid in you through the warrior and fine art. The illustrations are great to sit down with and not only look at but to get the pencil and paper out and try to imitate. Wonderful!

Book Description

What's Your Sign, Spot? Sunspot is a thought-provoking, humorous look at the relationship between dogs and their astrological signs. Be it a determined Aries, stubborn Taurus, spaced-out Gemini, melodramatic Cancer, kingly Leo, orderly Virgo, balanced Libra, intense Scorpio, enthusiastic Sagittarius, sure-footed Capricorn, curious Aquarius, or devoted Pisces—the sign under which your dog was born can at least partly explain the reasons for its behavior.

The idea for Sunspot started as a joke when a friend complained to Laurie Birnsteel that her dog hated change. When asked if her dog was born in May, the friend replied yes. “That's why,” Birnsteel replied. “Your dog is a Taurus, and Tauruses hate change.” Thus began more than two years of research—including hundreds of questionnaires and interviews with dog owners—into the relationships of dogs and their signs—more specifically, how their astrological signs affect their behavior.

“The last dog who owned me was a Gemini,” Birnsteel writes, “and I never knew if she would lift her leg or squat. Like the zodiac twins, she had different and distinct personalities. She could be sweet with someone one minute and growl at her the next. Lili, the dog who owns me now, is a Cancer. She's gentle, not confrontational, emotional, and melodramatic. What can I say?”

Each sign has its own chapter in Sunspot. Beginning with lists of the “good doggy” and “bad doggy” characteristics for each, Birnsteel proceeds to offer real-life examples of dogs behaving in ways consistent with their signs. At the end of the book, the questionnaires that pet owners completed are included.

Whether you've lived, loved, laughed, or cried over a dog, this book is for you! PETS; ASTROLOGY 6” X 7”, 160 PAGES PAPERBACK

Sunspot, The Best Ever Astrological Guide to Your Dog.......2002-07-14

In "Sunspot," Laurie Birnsteel, a Hawaii native who currently lives in Louisville, has created a book that really should have been written a long, long time ago. But it wasn't, and for that alone she deserves credit. But she has also walked a fine line between silly and serious - something that takes skill. For those who put no stock in astrology - especially PET astrology - Birnsteel's cheeky approach to this book provides a knowing wink. Simultaneously, for those who do, she never condescends or makes light of the subject matter.
By breaking doggy astrological traits down into "bad doggy" and "good doggy" columns, she makes it an easy read, and testimony from actual dog owners is the hook. The book ends with a "survey" so that, if you don't know your dog's birthdate, you can determine what sign your pooch falls under. All in all, it's clear that Birnsteel is an animal lover who is merely enjoying the opportunity provided by a part of her life that she holds dear. Dog lovers will eat this up, especially if consumed as a light read. Others probably will scoff. Either way, it will be a welcome addition to your coffee table.

Astrology and the personalities of beloved canines.......2002-07-08

Sunspot: The Best Ever Astrological Guide To Your Dog by freelance writer Laurie Birnsteel is an enjoyable and original examination of the connection between astrology and the personalities of beloved canine companions. Individual chapters are listed by sign, from Aries to Pisces, and each zodiac constellation reflects certain mannerisms and behaviors that may well influence one's faithful dog. Sunspot is enthusiastically recommended reading for pet owners with an interest in astrology and its influence on their canine companions.

A great gift for the dog lover in your life.......2002-06-29

I highly recommend this book. It's hilarious. If you're looking for a great little gift for the dog lover in your life, look no more. Order a copy immediately. Believe it or not, the information is DEAD on . . . and it's very entertaining.

Dog lovers this is for us,just great!.......2002-05-22

Want to have some fun and know more about why people love dogs and go on and on about them? Sun Spot gives you a good glimpse of the ways and quirks of our best friends and takes you to a place where only a dog can take you.You will laugh and you may cry but you will not be bored.

Congratulations on a unique funny book that tells the truth about real dogs.Takes us to a world where you live by your wits and are tricked into having to look to the stars for guidance.

I have owned,showed, trained , photographed and been on tv shows with dogs that are just like this. The book is telling it like it is.Thanks Laurie Birnsteel keep writing.I am a fan.

Architectural style wars are about more than style..........2006-12-13

...as Watkin points out in this thoughtful volume, architecture has content beyond simply how it looks or how it works. He points out that throughout recent history, architectural historians have used their own critical work to justify whatever style they happen to be most fond of as being the only "real," "true," "authentic," and hence, moral architectre. The transparency of this self-fulfilling prophecy becomes clear as architecture transitions into Modernism, which was vigorously promoted by its adherents. Watkins interesting historical perspective is beneficial to anyone who's wondered who decides what architectural style or form is "more right." While this whole discussion may strike you as intramural and arcane, I assure you that it is not, as we live every day (and for succeeding decades) with the results of these stylistic tugs-of-war. Recommended reading for architecture buffs as well as architects.
