(06/29/07) From Publishers Weekly If, as Howison writes in his afterword, "Horror has always been the blues of literature," then this anthology of 20 new tales of the macabre is an all-star concert whose performers work haunting riffs on gutbucket themes. In "The Reincarnate," Ray Bradbury makes a reanimated corpse the focus of a poetic reverie on death and loss. Clive Barker serves up a pastiche of the antique penny dreadful in "Haeckel's Tale," but with the traditional subtexts of sex and death unapologetically exposed to view. Supernatural and psychological horror interweave seamlessly in John Farris's "Bloody Mary Morning," a tale of modern horror with a classic Ambrose Biercestyle twist. In Ramsey Campbell's fiercely funny "The Announcement," a writer's psychological meltdown plunges him into a paranoid conspiracy distilled impurely from The Da Vinci Code. Howison, the proprietor of Burbank, Calif.'s Dark Delicacies horror bookstore, and Gelb, co-editor of the Hot Blood anthology series,...See less

(06/29/07) I read 2 or 3 of these books a day. Granted I had to put myself into the mindset of a child as I read them. I wish these were written 15 years ago so I could have enjoyed them then. I will be introducing my son to them as soon as he can read anything beyond a picture book. My grandmother, who reads nonstop, enjoyed them even more than I did. The books aren't outright educational but it is my opinion that these books do help to build young minds' vocabularies (and perhaps even builds wit) in a manner that is entertaining and memorable. Anyone can read a dictionary to gather the meaning of a word but these stories give clearer examples that I can imagine being repeated by excited children running to their parents to relay what they've learned. At least I can imagine my son doing it to me. Comment | Was this review helpful to you? (Report this)See less

(06/29/07) Amazon.com Noted Victorianist Cynthia Hart turns her talented hand to this wildly popular craft with great success, declaring, "Creating a scrapbook is one of the most powerful ways to celebrate our lives and the lives of loved ones." Hart packs into these pretty pages just about everything you need to know: all the basics, plus full-color glimpses of more than two dozen imaginative scrapbook designs on a wide variety of themes (family milestones, celebrating the past, kid subjects, holidays, and much more). There's also a nice section of clip art, patterns, and templates that can be photocopied for use in your own scrapbooks. This volume is about much more than having fun with your photos; this is a guide to making a book of memories, an artful presentation of memorabilia on whatever subject you choose. --Amy Handy Book Description It's about grandmothers saving memories for grandchildren. Mothers creating books for sons and daughters. Entire families getting together to cut and paste...See less

(06/29/07) Whether you plan to do any retouching or restoration of photos in Photoshop is immaterial: you still should have this book in your Photoshop library. Why? Because Katrin Eismann is not only a true master of Photoshop, but she is that rarity of rarities: a teacher who can teach through the written word - and in this case, a ton of illustrations. This is truly a Photoshop master's class between covers. It is not for the beginner - Eismann wisely leaves that for others. You should definitely know the basics of Photoshop for cracking this book open. But once you begin, you are in for a treat: ten chapters that cover everything you need to know about retouching and restoration in detail. Best of all, every technique Eismann teaches in this book will make you a more proficient Photoshop user, no matter what you use the program for. Unlike other authors, Eismann doesn't simply get you going and then leave you hanging. Her lessons are complete. And Eismann - happily - doesn't try to be a...See less

(06/29/07) Before reading Photo Retouching with Adobe Photoshop by Gwen Lute, I had read the following books on the subject: - 5 stars: Photoshop Restoration & Retouching (Katrin Eismann). Exceptional book; one of the best PS books I've read on any topic. Check the reviews. - 3.5 stars: Photoshop Retouching Handbook (Carol Braverman). Pretty good. - 1.5 stars: Retouching Old Photographs - Photoshop Methods and Solutions (Michael Kiteley). Serious problems. See my review under that title. In retrospect I should have quit while I was ahead. Compared with the offerings above, the Lute book is a sham (and a shame). Poorly written, frequently incomplete explanations, very little useful detail, no accompanying CD or web-site for example images, lots of "white border" per page to make it appear "thicker."See less
