Binder

This stories in this box set are boring subsets of the originals...The stories have nothing to do with the originals. Don't buy these...we returned them immediately and are out the shipping costs.

I was very pleased when I received this book pack. A nice size, sturdy box, and beautiful illustrations. Small print but perfect "read to me" books.
I know the little princess in my life will be pleased!

IT WAS INTERESTING BUT VERY LENGTHY IN DETAIL. I THOUGHT IT WAS UNNECESSARY TO HAVE ALL OF THE EXTRA STUFF. OVERALL I THOUGHT IT WAS OK.

I was a little disappointed with this collection of Swiss photographer Karlheinz Weinberger's work because I expected more photos from the 1950's that he published under the pseudonym "Jim" for the gay magazine Der Kreis. There is only a small section of about 20 pages devoted to his gay photography for this magazine. However, what black & white photos there are of his gay models are very good. The rest of the book is broken down into sections showcasing his involvement with rebels-1960's Zurich youth that were rebelling (like the youth in America) against the established authority, and sections on Rockers and Bikers (Hell Angels, etc.). This book is filled with wonderful black & white, and many large color shots of the youth (male & female) from that era. It is a great look back into the history of the confused and turbulent 1960's. The introductions are a great asset and help in explaining the photos of Karlheinz.

Karlheinz had a unique way of capturing real people in natural surroundings, in provocative and sometimes humorous situations that will live on in history because of his special talent. I learned a lot about this Zurich photographer I didn't know already, so I can say I'm better off than I was before I bought this book. I just wish they would have included more of his work from the time he started in1948 at Der Kreis.

The Way We Lived is a good book for anyone who is interested in American History. I have read serveral chapters of it and I feel that it's a level of understanding for everyone. If you're looking for background information, this book is great. Also, this is a good book for students who are interested in learning the background situations that have occurred in our history.

Honestly, I don't even know how this book got published. Almost exactly 1/2 of the book is simply a direct copy of Mr. Binder's own bankruptcy papers--no explanations or commentary, just the copies. The rest of the book took me about 20 minutes to read. It was filled with the attitude "you might as well abuse the system as much as you can." It stated that you can just forget about buying a home until your bankruptcy's off your record, period. It also was filled with wonderful tips for getting post-bankruptcy credit cards. For example, Mr. Binder suggests enrolling in a cheap college class to get a college ID, applying for a student credit card, then dropping the class in time to get your tuition fully refunded. He also suggests making "inadvertent" mistakes when filling out credit card applications. Please, please, PLEASE do not waste the time and money on this book. You will find NOTHING useful in it. One really has to wonder about a book written about a legal matter that continually refers to your attorney as your "shyster," and tells you that you don't need a particularly good one, since it's a simple procedure. Instead, order "Bounce Back from Bankruptcy" by Paula Langguth Ryan. She tells you how you CAN get a mortgage after bankruptcy. She provides the names and addresses of the major credit reporting agencies, and even provides form letters for requesting and correcting your credit report. Everything is broken down, step by step. HER advice about post-bankruptcy credit cards includes a listing of banks that offer secured and unsecured cards, and compares them in terms of requirements, credit limit, annual/application fees, amount of deposit required (secured), return on deposit (secured), interest rates, and has verified that these cards do indeed show up as positive credit references on your credit report (many secured cards do not). Names, addresses, phone numbers, exactly who to call, or what to write--it's in Ms. Langguth Ryan's book. So, please--if you're considering bankruptcy, or looking to rebuild your credit, use your hard-earned money for "Bounce Back from Bankruptcy" instead of Mr. Binder's piece of trash.

This book is packed with useful information for the person who needs to take a proactive aproach the this matter.. It gives very creative and insightful information on what steps to take and not to take.

I particularly loved the cheesy black & white image with the caption that read, "The Sphereize filter applied to the Red channel..."

Photoshop 4 Complete is a clearly written book, with cleanly formatted, easy-to-read text. It is well suited to beginner and intermediate users, with plenty of screenshots of key dialog boxes and diagrams that show the effects of various settings of a given tool or filter. It assumes a basic familiarity with mouse manipulation, and the various types of menus, dialog boxes, etc. found in any application. Everything is presented for both Mac and Windows platforms; although screenshots are Mac-based, differences between platforms are called out where they exist. There is an introductory chapter on the basics of scanning images, which is probably what most beginning and intermediate users will want to do; if you intend to do a lot of scanning, get a book such as Scanner Solutions for more comprehensive coverage. Although the book is not in color, and does not contain any color plates, it includes step-by-step tutorials based on images contained on the included CD-ROM. Therefore, a previous reviewer's head may hurt because he was not using the book as it was intended to be used - in conjunction with the reader's own manipulation of the images in real time. The chapters on color correction, saving and exporting, and Photoshop for the web should also be useful for the average user who wants to put family photos and basic graphics on a webpage. The extensive section containing descriptions of each of Photoshop's native filters is one of the most comprehensive I've seen.

Photoshop books vary tremendously in terms of their intended audience (beginner to power user) and in their page layout (easily read to cramped and busy); this book is aimed at the beginner to intermediate user as an easily-read resource for learning step-by-step basic and some advanced technques - power users need not apply.

After reading this book, I wanted to quit the graphic arts and take up plumbing. Unfortunately, my wife talked me out of it. So I've filed for divorce. Thanks, Hayden.

It was required as a textbook at Rogue Community College (Grants Pass, Oregon) for the Illustrator course. The course was probably more helpful, and we're likely more enamored of the program itself, but the book has a permanent slot on our reference shelf. Not very readable, but packed full of information highlighting the improvements since the previous version of the program. The authors realize the importance of keyboard shortcuts, for which we are grateful.

Being a library student one would think that I would have loved to have encounter the AACR. However, my feelings towards the AACR could not be any different. The book is hard to use and table of contents is a complete joke. If one is look for a topic one will only find it with a bit of luck.

I feel that the whole book made a distinct public comment on handicapped peoples. It showed how ignorant and intolerant Disney is about those of us who may not walk erect. The fact that some people's back's are a little crooked, is no laughing matter. The folks at Disney are uncaring and insensitive to the feelings of others. I would advise everyone to never buy this book. And those of you who have-burn it!
