by: Scott Kelby List Price: $39.99 Amazon.com's Price: $27.19 You Save: $12.80 (32%) Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description If you have the previous edition of this book, then this new edition will probably not be worth your money for the upgrade: many of the tips have been taken verbatim from the first Photoshop Book for Digital Photographers. But if you have neither the old nor the new edition of this masterpiece by Scott Kelby, then rest assured that some of the included ideas are worth the price of the book itself. I wish I had known about these shortcuts to photo enhancement a long time ago. I find this collection ... Read More  Read Reviews and Description

| 2. Lance Armstrong: Images of a Champion | |
|
by: Lance Armstrong List Price: $35.00 Amazon.com's Price: $24.50 You Save: $10.50 (30%) Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description Lance Armstrong: Images of a Champion is squarely aimed at the growing market niche made up of die-hard Lance Armstrong fans, and if you count yourself in that crowd it's hard to imagine you won't be thrilled by what this well-made volume has to offer. But if you are more of a general cycling fan -- as I am -- then chances are you'll decide that this collaboration between Mr. Armstrong and Graham Watson, cycling's photographer of record, is a bit too much of a good thing, a level of hero worship ...

| 3. The Artist's Way: A Spiritual Path to Higher Creativity (Inner Workbook) | |
|
by: Julia Cameron List Price: $15.95 Amazon.com's Price: $11.17 You Save: $4.78 (30%) Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description Julia Cameron has written a book that, as a writer, I didn't think I really needed. I was a little concerned at the word "spiritual" and potential religious interpretations, but had to buy the book for school anyway, so I did. I was delighted to find a guide that actually worked. If you get this book for no other reason than the "Morning Pages" discussed in the first pages of the book, then get it. The book resembles a sort of 12-step program. In fact it is 12 chapters long and outlines and discusses ... Read More Read Reviews and Description

| 6. The Annotated Mona Lisa: A Crash Course in Art History from Prehistoric to Post-Modern | |
|
by: Carol Strickland, John Boswell List Price: $22.95 Amazon.com's Price: $16.07 You Save: $6.88 (30%) Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description I've found this book to be helpful as a teaching tool. I teach from Gardner's, but this book helps me to focus my lectures, since I can't cover absoultely everything in class. My only gripe is that on the book flaps Strickland unnecessarily pans introductory art textbooks in order to bolster her own book, saying "The Annotated Mona Lisa isn't bogged down with convoluted theories or author's pet peeves," or jargon. Being someone who has read Janson, Gardner's and Stockstad, I can honestly say that these books are ... Read More Read Reviews and Description

| 8. The New Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain | |
|
by: Betty Edwards List Price: $16.95 Amazon.com's Price: $11.87 You Save: $5.08 (30%) Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description This is, without question, THE book to buy for anyone who wants to explore the "other" side of your brain. Our schools do a good job teaching the left brain - which is where words and numbers come from. But the right brain has been woefully uneducated in the American system, for most of the last half-century. Thus, we are only educating "half" the brains of students until we recognize that art unlocks powerful forces - creative thinking, insight, and the wonderful manifestation of "visual literacy" - being able to draw what you see.

| 9. Home by Design: Transforming Your House Into Home | |
|
by: Sarah Susanka List Price: $35.00 Amazon.com's Price: $23.80 You Save: $11.20 (32%) Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description This book is really 4 1/2 stars. I have found this to be the perfect way for me to start to think about space and light as my husband and I begin planning a renovation to the house we just purchased. Since we haven't lived there, we have the advantage of not being "stuck" in thinking about changes to the house, but we have the disadvantage of not knowing how traffic patterns, seasonal light and other factors will affect our renovations. The text is pretty clear and is arranged within three major categories - space, light, and order. The photographs ... Read More Read Reviews and Description

| 10. Wicked - piano/vocal/guitar arrangement | |
|
by: Not Available List Price: $17.95 Amazon.com's Price: $10.47 You Save: $7.48 (42%) Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description After waiting for so long to finally get this book, I've discovered it to be well worth the wait. Stephen Schwartz is releasing two versions of vocal selections for wicked, this version containing the melody interpolated into the piano part, and another book that is billed as a professional acompaniment without the melody necessarily built into the piano arrangement. This led many to speculate that the "with melody" version would therefore be much easier and less true to the music. Although I haven't seen the other book yet as it has yet to ...
