5 out of 5 stars Lionel Train Operating Accessories.......2006-07-28

This is a great book if you are interested in Lionel train operating accessories. It describes most of the popular accessories and how to repair and service them. Great color pictures and even a price guide for each accessory. I have read this book from cover to cover and still refer to it quite often.

The only thing missing is advice on whether or not to upgrade an accessory to TMCC control for better performance.

5 out of 5 stars I. D. Review.......2000-03-29

I thoroughly enjoyed the book. There are commentaries on design at the introduction, which I found informative and interesting. Also, the quality of work that is displayed is absolutely amazing. There is verything from furniture to lighting, to the most innovative products of our time. The editors did a fantastic job on the page layout, truly a mastery of graphic design as well. Another great series of books along these lines is the Graphis yearbooks. I love the book, and I can't stop looking at it!

5 out of 5 stars Excellent Resource Book.......2005-04-05

For anybody in the construction, engineering, design, or code enforcement/verification fields this book is a must. It is an excellent reference & resource book with tons of valuable information.

1 out of 5 stars Formating changes make this a challenging book to read.......1998-11-07

1. The overwhelming amount of format changes since '94 edition were unnecesary and confusing. Reference books such as these need a standardized format to allow for easier access to information. 2. Removal of many convenient tables and charts make this book less useful. 3. Calculations too complex to be of practical use. Complexity will certainly lead to errors.

Once again Starck shows us his bold vision uniquely brought together from under his fathers drafting table to the stuttering dominoes of his thinking. An architect who sees the world as a prism of fleeting ideas that can barely be contained in a cerrebellum going a thousand miles an hour.

                Now in its eighteenth year, this unique showcase remains the most authoritative guide to contemporary domestic design.

                Covering the best and most innovative furniture, lighting, tableware, textiles, and products created over the past eighteen months by both well-known designers and new names from around the world, this year's striking selections have been made by the acclaimed New York-based furniture and product designer Karim Rashid.

                In a departure from the Yearbook's traditional format, objects are grouped thematically according to current global design trends: Futuretro, Nukitsch, Phenomena, Organic, Embellishment, Multiplicity, Minimum, and Techno. The book is richly illustrated in color throughout, and many images are accompanied by extended captions explaining their form, function, and innovations. Full technical data is given for each object, and a comprehensive reference section is included with designers' biographies and a list of suppliers' contact details. An introduction by Jennifer Hudson provides an insight into Karim Rashid's background, working practices, and design vision, while Rashid's own introduction explains the reasoning behind his selections as well as his transformation of the Yearbook's presentation to reflect the multiple directions of international design today.
