Could be far better.......2006-06-08
I bought this book thinking that it would be convenient to have both countries in one book. A chapter or two in Let's Go wasn't going to do the trick for a jaunt to Croatia and Slovenia, and the idea of carting two books around didn't interest me. That being said, it might just be worth it.
The book is poorly organized. The bulk of the information is on Croatia, and it doesn't provide some information that I consider critical such as train lengths or often even basic prices for hotels (let alone some form of currency converter). Frustrating as well is the fact that while Fodor's tells you about the food in Slovenia in a separate section, you have to hunt around for Croatian food. It's typical of the whole book that the two countries are shoved together without any sense of organization or equity.
There's some good information in here, but given a second chance, I would have spent a little more money and purchased two solid books (i.e. Lonely Planet) instead of one mediocre book.

Though he is chiefly viewed as a monumental pop-art icon, Andy Warhol was truly a man of many talents. But his component parts don't necessarily match up. He made paintings, prints, sculptures, installations, performances; he produced one of the greatest rock bands of all time, the Velvet Underground; he directed films and wrote a novel as well as a philosophical text. But over and above this massive pile of work is a man who was unpredictable, enigmatic, and impenetrable: ultimately, he would have others think, almost inhuman.
Drawings are the key to many artists' souls. They are personal, immediate, and limiting. Never more so than in the case of Andy Warhol has a book of drawings so brought an artist's humanity forward. He reveals his particular brand of filial affection in an early work titled The Broad Gave Me My Face but I Can Pick My Own Nose--a rebellious youth indeed. His male nudes from the 1950s are passionate and erotic: here is an artist in love with his subject. Warhol was a prolific drawer, and draw he could. Don't forget: he was a very successful commercial artist, an adman, long before his high-art career took off.
Among these 248 color plates rest some wonderful little drawings that stand entirely on their own merit, not their creator's fame. The catalog Andy Warhol: Drawings, 1942-1987 offers rare insight into one of the century's strangest and most interesting artists. --Loren E. Baldwin
Book Description
This book offers representative examples of drawings from 1942 to 1987 in all categories and media. Filled with well-known iconic images, humorous portraits, and still lifes, The Warhol Drawings portrays Warhols trademark genius for transforming the ordinary into the extraordinary.
Customer Reviews:
Imagery + Surrealism = Pop Realism.......1999-10-19
After reading this book, I reckon that Andy Warhol was a man of unpredictable genius. Imbedded in his images is the poetic appeal and the simultaneous pop and avante-garde timelessness of his art. He made the serious and the comic blend well. He balanced the beau monde and the classless. His colour choices evoked and exposed the hidden images within his works, and they simply slither in mind once you stare at them. Unlike some new generation artists or wannabees who only splash their canvasses with colours, sometimes of uncompromising combinations, every artwork of Warhol is alive, moving and his concept comprehensive. Here is a pop artist who is wildly prolific! As a freelance writer and editor doing articles on design and who works within the pop culture, I'd say his works are more than simply decoratives. They speak with you and are nothing less than enthralling. I feel terrific owning a copy! This is a treasureable read.

Book Description
Pewter of the Western World is the first comprehensive and authoritative study of antique pewter on an international basis to be published in the English language. Written by one of the world's leading experts, it chronicles the history of the pewter industry in Europe, Britain and America from 1600 to 1850. The wide variety of marks found on pewter are fully discussed including makers marks, marks of quality, town and guild marks and capacity and ownership marks. The care and dating of pewter and the nature of fakes and reproductions are all examined. This comprehensive study with more than 1300 illustrations should prove to be the standard reference work that has been needed for many years.

Good Education on Early Pewter.......2007-06-07
I'm not a pewter collector nor expert, however, when I decided to look into a couple representative pieces, I figured anything done by Schiffer Publishing would be a good place to start. It was informative as to the different forms pewter was used, as well as styles, and the history into the use of pewter. Clear black and white photographs are abundant. The issue price to me was more hefty than the value I gleamed from it, however, with used books bringing about half that, you can't go too wrong. You might want to check out "Old Pewter: It's Makers and Marks" by Cotterell which I found the most useful in identifying and dating pewter by its markings, and it was quick and easy to use.

Book Description
In Louis XIV's France, land took on new importance in politics and court life. A sequestered aristocracy promenaded in formal gardens while the military moved across the landscape, marking state boundaries with fortresses and refiguring the interior with canals and forests. Chandra Mukerji highlights the connections between the seemingly disparate activities of engineering and garden design, showing how the gardens at Versailles showcased French skills in using nature and art to design a distinctively French landscape and create a naturalized political territoriality.
