Useful but a little disappointing.......2007-01-23
Perhaps I didn't get this correctly but this book didn't really live up to my expectations.
I did learn some stuff from it and have used some of it since, but I actually expected a little more from it.
Possibly I was expecting a little too much. If you are after something that will tell you some of the basics of working with flip charts, designs of flip charts and a little bit about the type of hardware then this is a good one.
If you are after something that will help you to create dynamic sessions, push the limits of visual aids, and drive people into more thoughtful training sessions then this book is only partly useful.
Excellent Product.......2006-02-27
As an instructor I look for many products that will assist myself and participants of my train-the-trainer workshops. Although I've purchased and used other flip chart reference information, I found the BIG BOOK of FLIP CHARTS to me informative, well illustrated and to the point. I puchased 5 copies and would recommend it to anyone in the training field that uses flip charts. The cover was also very colorful and gave great insight on what was inside.
The Big Book of Flip Charts.......2005-09-06
Good service, book in excellent condition. Received in a timely mannner. Thanks.
The Best one there is.......2002-03-08
Don't even consider any other flip chart book, they don't come close. This one has it all.. designing flip charts, arranging them, writing them, making them visually interesting. Tons of useful and helpful information.
This book, together with Picture's Worth 1,000 Words: A Workbook for Visual Communications by Jean Westcott and Jennifer Hammond Landau are all you need to become an effective visual communicator, even if you can't draw anything! If you think you're just not good with flip charts, buy these two and prepare to amaze yourself with the transformation!
Easy to read and comprehensive.......2000-07-02
I bought this book expecting to get a couple new ideas...boy was I surp rised. I got dozens of new tips that I'd never seen anywhere else. This guy knows his stuff related to flip charts!I'd highly recommend it to new and seasoned trainers and presenters.

Chapters are arranged for quick consultation.......2004-12-09
Plenty of books provide advice on how to collect art and what to choose, but to few focus on display techniques appropriate for the home. The New Decorating With Pictures: Collecting Art And Photography And Displaying It In Your Home is the perfect item of choice for any who would collect art and photography and display it in a home, blending Simon Upton's fine color photo examples with Stephanie Hoppen's survey of techniques and common challenges. Divided by subject, chapters are arranged for quick consultation.

Chapter 3, "Containers for Candles," is full of creative ideas for crafting candleholders; with the help of The New Candle Book, you can display your candles in decorated bottles and jars, a tasseled candelabra, mosaic holders, copper sconces, candle shades, or even an intricately braided salt-dough candleholder--you'll learn to make them all.
Customer Reviews:
Best candle book I've read so far!.......2000-04-18
The only shame in Amazon is that you can't flip through the full-page, full-color illustrations and really get a feel for how helpful this book is! Learn the basics as well as creative ways to make candles with informative step-by-steps, with nothing left to the imagination.

Upscale home decor on a budget........1999-07-27
Fantastic step-by-step instructions in gorgeous color photographs. This exquisite book shows its readers how to create stunning candles with a minimum of inexpensive equipment. Chic, sophisticated designs. Nothing artsy-craftsy or complicated. The overall quality of this one is superb. Lorenz Books are always among my favorites. They consistently give you the best designers and editors, plus value-priced hardcovers with glossy paper throughout.
Book Description
Overwhelmed by the armloads of art your child brings home from school? Here are more than 170 great projects from creative moms for easy ways to display, recycle, and preserve the most memorable output from your child's school years. Go beyond the refrigerator door to quick framing ideas, home art galleries, scrapbook pages, greeting cards, and inventive gifts (from plates and mugs to key chains, clothes, and clocks!).
Customer Reviews:
Wow!.......2001-12-17
Excellent book for the amatuer photographer. Even just skimming through it I've gotten several great ideas and techniques for good photography ("find the triangle!"). My wife made me order a second book b/c she found someone she *had* to give our copy to. Very much worth having.
Now There's No Excuse Not to Display Them All!.......2001-06-23
My daughter just finished her first semester of pre-school. With school comes the inevitable artwork, and there's only so much room on the refrigerator!
With this little book, you will be shown innovative and unusual ways to display your child's masterpiece. There are 75 ideas in this book, and you're sure to find one or more that will not only suit the artwork, but also your home. From simple to sophisticated, your O'Keefe or Picasso will never be prouder. Of course, there's only so much wall space as well... but that's okay, because lots of these ideas are not confined to the wall.
I'd give it 10 stars if I could!.......2000-08-17
Not 10 tips, not 30 tips, but 75 very doable and very attractive ways to preserve your children's art work. I can't believe it. Each of the 75 tips has photographs of sample projects, specific directions, and the exact list of what you need and where to get it. Not a bit of space is wasted in this terrific book. It's packed with great ideas and easy to follow instructions. Each project is as beautiful as a Martha Stewart craft, but uses supplies you can easily find and won't break your bank account. I already tried 3 and can't believe how easy it was. And I still have 72 more to go. It even solves the really tough problems like what to do with those first scribbles as well as three dimensional artwork. This book is a great find. I'm buying it as gifts for all my mommy friends as well as my children's teachers.
Book Description
Gallery and museum staff are aware that exhibitions can be materially diminished by the failure to acknowledge that there is an art to displaying art.
The Art of Displaying Art takes the mystery out of successful exhibition design. It is an essential guide for gallery and museum personnel. Private collectors who own oils, graphics, drawings, and photographs will find this volume a valuable handbook for hanging art in their homes and offices. Professor Lawrence B. Smith, the author, taught display and exhibit design at the Fashion Institute of Technology, one of the few institutions of higher learning with a program in gallery and museum management. His book covers arranging the wall - using a model of the space - conservation concerns - handling the work - hanging hardware - lighting - labels - captions - cases, vitrines and cabinets - and adapting alternative exhibition spaces. It is complete with illustrations, sources, a bibliography, and an index.

Book Description
Surrealism in its late phase often abandoned neutral exhibition spaces in favor of environments that embodied subjective ideologies. These exhibitions offered startled viewers an early version of installation art before the form existed as such. In Displaying the Marvelous, Lewis Kachur explores this development by analyzing three elaborate Surrealist installations created between 1938 and 1942. The first two, the "Exposition Internationale du Surrealisme" (1938) and the "Dream of Venus" at the New York World's Fair (1939), dealt with the fetishization of the female body. The third, "First Papers of Surrealism" (1942), focused not on the figure but on the entire expanse of the exhibition space, thus contributing to the development of nonfigurative art in New York. Kachur presents a full visual and verbal reconstruction of each of the exhibitions, evoking the sequence that the contemporary viewer would have encountered.
The book considers Marcel Duchamp and Salvador Dali, two artists who are not usually compared, within a common framework. Duchamp specialized in frustrating the spectator, using his ironic wit to call into question the definition of the work of art. Dali was a master at disorienting the senses by establishing and then undermining everyday spatial and object properties. The Surrealist challenge, as voiced by Andre Breton, was to evoke the marvelous. Duchamp and Dali extended that challenge to the physical and commercial realm of the exhibition installation.
Customer Reviews:
Duchamp is very good curator.......2002-07-23
I have never read like the book about Marcel Duchamp, because the book focuses on the side of the curator of Duchamp. The book is about the Surrealist exihibitions in 1930's and 1940's. And the backgrounds of the exhibitions are very detailed and lively. I recommend the book to those who like, of course, Duchamp and are interested in installation.
scholarship and humor.......2001-08-16
Written with keen perception and humor, Lewis Kachur's latest book is likely to become a classic both in the fields of surrealism and of installations. It is scholarly and highly readable.

Book Description
Displaying the same wit and charm that made her Creative Techniques for Photographing Children a commercial success, Vik Orenstein shoots straight with photographers on what it takes to build a successful photo business. She combines big-picture thinking with a soft touch to deliver sound, practical advice on such core topics as developing a marketing plan, building a clientele, networking and maintaining creative fulfillment.
The guide is a major asset for: - Amateurs seeking a friendly overview of the business - Established photographers delving into a new niche - Freelancers interested in selling stock - Photographers starting their own studio
At 320 pages, the book's simultaneous deep and broad treatment makes it an excellent companion to the business-focused introduction found in Photographer's Market. Vik also covers such important specialties as wedding, commercial and nature photography in individual chapters and frequently complements her own advice with that of industry experts.

A concise guide to the business of photography.......2007-09-06
As a professional photographer I found this book to be very useful in the early stages of starting my business. After spending much time doing all the things I thought I should be doing (and not getting very far!), I read this book and realized that being a professional photographer was going to mean much more than just being good at photography.
Like many businesses, professional photography requires skills in marketing, selling, advertising and dealing with people. This book introduces all these concepts and more, together with a lot of interesting case-studies of people who have switched to photography from other careers, and how they met the challenges of doing that.
Professional photography can be very rewarding and is an excellent business to be in - but make sure you get off on the right footing by realizing that 90% of it is knowing how to run a business. This book is an excellent way to start.
Studio Photographers ONLY.......2007-07-30
Apparently, and according to this author, the only business you should open as a photographer is a studio. Everything else is pointless.
That being the case, she should have made that clear in the title.
The money I spent on this book was absolutely wasted, and I won't buy anything else without reading the reviews first.
Totally useless.
Great for the start-up studio.......2007-01-14
Not Everything you need to know to start a business but a LOT of what you need to know. No book has Everything you need to know. I recommend this book to those who have not been in business before and want to open a studio. Great advice on customer service and dealing with the public.
good for beginners.......2006-03-27
I have studied "fine art" photography for a long time now. This book was very helpful to me as I've been timid about using my skills & knowledge to start a business. the book is encouraging and informative. For me it was perfect.
Helpful information for budding entrepreneurs.......2006-03-24
I have to agree, only partly, with some of the previous reviews that say the author is stating the obvious. It may be obvious to a seasoned, professional photographer who has been in business for years - but to someone just starting out, it's valuable information. She uses stories about mistakes she has made, learning the hard way, and gives advice on how to avoid making those same mistakes (e.g. the "use tax" flub and the tax penalties she paid for her ignorance). As she says, good photographers are not necessarily good business people. I think this book does a good job of giving prospective photography business owners a real, down-to-earth, inside look inside the life of a photographer who is in business for himself/herself. Her writing style is very enjoyable to read, too.
