Blenko Catalogs (Schiffer Book for Designers & Collectors)
ASIN: 0764311352 |
Book Description
Named after its founder, Englishman William Blenko, Blenko Glass Company, Inc. began producing stained glass in America in the late nineteenth century. It remains one of the few glass factories in the United States still making modern hand blown production glass. Recently, collectors have been scooping up Blenko designs from the company's middle years of production, the 1950s and 1960s. Three outstanding designers were responsible for the entire design repertoire of that era--Winslow Anderson, Wayne Husted, and Joel Myers. Over 675 color photographs of Blenko glass (courtesy of Blenko Visitors' Center Museum, the Huntington Museum of Art, and private collections), detailed captions, information about the designers, the never-before-published 1960 catalog, bibliography, and index make this book a valuable reference.

Beautiful Blenko--.......2006-11-05
I easily found all my Blenko items. Price section is a plus!! Photos are excellent. All around great book for serious collector of Blenko!!
Not Much Changed Compared to the First Edition.......2006-03-31
The revised edition of this book is not much of a revision. Except for the cover photo, a half page list of Blenko colors by years, several photos added, mostly from one particular collector, and an updated price list (arbitrary and useless in many respects, because collectors don't really pay much attention it) the book remains the same. If you have the first edition, my advise is not to waste your money on this one.
I was disappointed when I realized the publishing house just used the same document of the first edition, and just replaced several photos. The writer and editors should have used better photos and a more modern page design, and also include photos from several collectors, not just one. A complete revision would have been a worthy endeavor. Unfortunately, the editors chose the easy way out, and the results are clearly mediocre.
Good 2nd Edition.......2006-02-23
A nice but not extensive revision of the earlier work. If you already have the first edition then the main reason for buying the second is the updated price guide. If you don't have the first edition and you are interested in Blenko, this book is a must have.

Book Description
This book presents the industry-adopted level system of haircoloring, which analyzes the lightness or darkness of a color and eliminates the guess work of haircoloring. As more and more color companies use the technique it becomes essential for the salon professionals to be educated in the process. It provides sound and foolproof techniques, making the system a very attractive and appealing technique to learn and use.
Customer Reviews:
Good intro book.......2005-12-07
This book gives a good introduction on hair coloring, a lot of theory and a large number of interesting tips, however it falls short on the most important topic: Formulating. The book explains all the elements to consider when formulating, but doesn't explain in depth how to combine them all and how to build the actual formula for every case you might encounter.
Less important, this book is printed in black and looks as if it was designed for color printing and comes back an annoying number of times on "how to make big money coloring hair".
Despite the shortcomings, there are interesting thing to learn from this book and it might be useful as complement to the other Milady haircoloring book.
MILADY'S STANDARD HAIR COLORING MANUEL AND ACTIVITIES BOOK: A LEVEL SYSTEM APPROACH.......2005-07-21
Not what I thought it would be. The book emphasizes the activities more than the instruction. There are some good things in the book overall as far as types of haircoloring procedures. Overall, I wish I had not ordered the book and kept my $35.99
This is a very useful book!.......2000-08-22
Hi! I'm a student of cosmetology and I bought this book looking for complementary information besides my courses at my Cosmetology School. I found this text very very useful and above all, very easy to understand. This book covers every basic knowledge a student and haircolor lover needs to know: Color process, fillers, corrective color, the level system, basic color applications (virgin, retouch and artificial pigments removal), the law of color, lots of tips, cautions, recommendations and more. The book also includes some more advanced techniques such as foiling, bleaching and the special techniques which I found very interesting and beautiful to try, they are 15 in total and are all included and explained in detail in one chapter. There are also short sections of questions and activities with their corresponding answers (they are short and practical!) At the end of the book the reader will find a glossary, a Manufacturers' Hotline Numbers list and some "Note pages" for the reader to wrote down notes, questions, formulas, ideas or whatever he/she wants. I highly recommend this book to all the students who need stronger bases and to every person who loves color and wants to do it the right way!!!

Inside the Not So Big House: Discovering the Details that Bring a Home to Life (Susanka)
ASIN: 0810955776 |
Book Description
Hailed by Architectural Digest as one of the top 100 designers and architects today, Bill Stubbs has designed penthouses, vacation retreats, and country mansions around the globe from Acapulco to Moscow. In this lively, irreverent memoir, Stubbs recounts the extraordinary, exasperating, and often hilarious adventures in his stellar career.
Illustrated with more than 150 color photographs of the spaces Stubbs has transformed, the book details the activities and thought processes that went into some of his most spectacular projects. These include the metamorphosis of an abandoned country dacha into a baronial mansion in the Ukraine, the renovation of a 100-year-old schoolhouse into stylish apartments for senior citizens in Newport, Rhode Island, and the project that inspired the book's title, a Houston penthouse designed around the color red, which caused his impulsive client to fire him over the phone. (Of course, when the client saw the finished apartment, he loved it-to the point that Stubbs had trouble convincing him to abandon the color in subsequent renovations.) This entertaining volume is a rarity, a design book that people will actually read. AUTHOR BIO: William W. Stubbs, founder and head of his own Houston-based firm, designs interior spaces, both commercial and residential, all over the world. He has been named to "The AD 100," Architectural Digest's list of the world's top designers and architects. He lives in Houston, Texas.
Customer Reviews:
Refreshing candor.......2006-11-10
This is such an entertaining read as well as a look at a wide variety of decorating styles. I first became interested in this decorator (the only one I know by name) in Architectural Digest. These wonderful projects kept coming up in different months and so I started reading the articles that went with the pictures in the projects and discovered Bill Stubbs! He has a fresh eye for every client. He really looks and really listens. How unusual in today's self absorbed world.

ASIN: 1905400012 |
Book Description
A lavish record of an extraordinary collaboration between designer and architectand the catalyst for the William Morris style.
Red House occupies a singular place in British architectural history: it was the first and only house that was built for designer William Morris, and it was the first independent architectural commission for his friend, Philip Webb. The challenge of furnishing the house inspired Morris and his Pre-Raphaelite friends to found the design firm of Morris & Co., which was the flagship for what was to become the Arts & Crafts movement. Red House captured Morris' heart. He was only 25 when, in 1858, he married Jane Burden, whose beauty was the inspiration for much of Pre-Raphaelite art. With his young wife, he planned to produce a vision of "earthly paradise" at Red House; however, the idyll was found to be impractical, and Morris left after five years. Because of its illustrious first owner, Red House was never forgotten, and a succession of tenants kept Morris' spirit alive in the house; in 2003, Red House was acquired for the National Trust. This handsome volume provides both the story of Red House and a "virtual tour" that enables the reader to see how this splendid house looked and functioned when it was inhabited by the celebrated designer.

Book Description
Smooth claret, hot spice, exotic heat, fired earth: these are all robust reds, the color of passion and strength, and all will infuse you with primal, life-enhancing energy. You take the color in with your eyes, but it courses through your chakra points, giving you a big boost. How should you use this dramatic color effectively? Photos filled with brightness and brilliance guide your design plan. The office is a great area for the most vivid end of the spectrum, creating a happy and lively workplace. Mix glowing claret with neutral creams and whites in the living room for a space that's confident without being oppressive. Spicy orangey-reds have great depth and warmth; choose velvet material for extra texture. Or layer a feast of opulent Eastern fabrics for an exotic touch. The results are alluring!

Each book includes examples of color in every room of the home-kitchens, bedrooms, living rooms-in every style-Country, Contemporary, and Victorian. Use these affordable volumes as references to make the most out of color in your home.
Customer Reviews:
attractive but sloppy editing.......2004-02-07
Good photographs of generally competently designed rooms, all with a coup de rouge. Most designs tend toward a traditional, sometimes busy look. Captions are short or lacking.
In 90 pages of photos, generally one to a page, there are three photographs exactly duplicated. In one case, different designers are credited for the same room.
strinking red.......2000-07-08
The fashionable designs in this book are very attractive. You can feel the passion, heat, and romance from the use of red in these designs. Although I knew most of the pictures are selected from Showcase of Interior Design series, which I already had, I still bought this book. Over 100 pictures of interior designs in red collected in one book makes the charisma of red more striking. This book is very convenient to use.

Book Description
Men and Women in Qing China is an analysis of Chinese prescriptions of gender as represented in Cao Xueqin's famous eighteenth century Chinese novel of manners, The Red Chamber Dream or The Story of the Stone. Drawing on feminist literary critical methods it examines Qing notions of masculinity and femininity, including themes such as bisexuality, motherhood, virginity and purity, and gender and power. Its central aim is to challenge the common assumption that the novel represents some form of early Chinese feminism by examining the text in conjunction with historical data. The book will be especially important to those interested in issues of gender in China, the history of Chinese literary criticism and the application of feminist theory to the Asian text.
