Book Description
60th Anniversary Edition 560 pages, the largest Standard Coin catalogue ever, divided into three main sections; Circulating Legal Tender (CLT) coins, Non Circulating Legal Tender (NCLT) coins and Dollar Varieties, a virtual encyclopedia of Canadian Numismatic information.
The Circulating Legal Tender section; Page 1 to page 249: All the new and current information has been added, new issues from the 2004 Poppy quarter, the 2005 Saskatchewan and Alberta 25 cent coins to the one dollar 25th anniversary of Terry Fox¡¯s Marathon of Hope. A newly found 50 cent, 1881 copper pattern, and the new 2004 Test Token set are listed and priced. Prices have undergone a complete revision on two fronts, first by giving more weight to land and virtual auction prices realized, and secondly, by removing from the pricing columns all prices that are not supported by the ICCS 2005 POPS report. It is difficult to price a coin when after nearly twenty years it has never turned up for grading.
The Non-Circulating Legal Tender section; Page 250 to page 457: The Royal Canadian Mint issues for 2004 and the first quarter of 2005 are illustrated, listed and priced. Over thirty newly designed coins were added to the NCLT collection for 2004 and 2005. With the Mint now producing either to demand or to a very limited mintage, prices are proving to be more interesting to the collector. Another innovation this year in the 60th Edition are the new pricing tables indicating what the major dealers in the industry feel is the average condition of the NCLT coins. For example, proof sets, the coins will be found in an average grade of PR-67. Of course a grading company when asked to specifically grade a coin from a proof set may assign the average, PR-67, but could easily grade higher or lower, depending on the actual quality.
The Variety Section; Page 458 to page 547: The Variety Section in the 60th Edition is devoted solely to dollar varieties, with over a hundred different listings. This marks the beginning of a Variety Section devoted to a single denomination with the varieties being listed in chronological order.
Over 15 different varieties of the counterstamped ¡°JOP¡° dollars are listed, along with two stamps that are set aside as possible counterfeits.
Two newly recorded varieties, a 1947 Blunt 7 with a low ¡°47¡± and a 1948 with a low ¡°4¡± and large ¡°8¡± are illustrated for the variety dollar collector who thought he had everything.
The NCLT section contains for the first time a description of the finishes used on coins issued from 1954 to 2005. Since 1981 finishes have become a marketing tool of the Royal Canadian Mint. Grading companies are now assigning Proof and Specimen numerical grades recognizing the importance of the finish on coins.
In the 61st Edition, next year, the 50 cent coin and its varieties will move to centre stage and will appear in that edition.
The 60th Edition of the Canadian Coins is available from Numismatic Dealers, Bookstores, Online Bookstores or directly from the Publisher.
Book Description
The annual contest sponsored by the Museum of the American Quilter's Society encourages quiltmakers to develop innovative quilts from traditional patterns. *The 18 winners and finalists share their creative ideas and thoughts while designing and constructing their unique quilts. *Tips, techniques, and full-size patterns will enable quilters of all skill levels to plan and make their own Tumbling Blocks quilts. *Patterns for different variations of blocks are given, such as foundation-pieced tropical flowers, tilted, square-within-a-square, and interlocking. AUTHORBIO: Museum of the American Quilter's Society holds a themed contest each year. This book honors the finalists. REVIEW: Eighteen quilters showcase their best creative efforts with directions and photos. To me, the most interesting part is reading how they came to design their quilt. Many of these quilts are so unusual it is hard to imagine trying to reproduce them, but taking a look inside the creative process is a valuable learning experience.

Not only was Claude Monet (1840-1926) a leading member of the impressionist movement, he was also, as this charming book reveals, a master interior decorator. A virtual room-by-room guided tour of Monet's beautiful and much-visited home at Giverny, this volume offers a vivid impression of daily life in the beloved house where the artist lived for 40 years with his second wife and their eight children. With its pink stucco walls, green shutters, and brightly painted original furniture, the house reveals Monet's brilliance and innovation as a colorist, which transcended his light-infused canvases to inform his choice of hues for wall paint and furniture. Each room is explored in its own chapter with glorious color photos: the dining room, painted in two shades of yellow and adorned with Japanese prints; the blue-and-white-tiled kitchen; the blue drawing room; the studio as it appeared in its heyday. Enlarged paint swatches of Monet's unique color combinations accompany each chapter so that readers can reproduce them in their own homes.
Book Description
Claude Monet was as meticulous in the decoration his family home at Giverny as he was about the planting of its world-famous garden. Monet's home has been fully restored and decorated according to his revolutionary views on color and light. This book is an to visit the house on a summer's day in the 1890s to marvel at Monet's decorative vision,

great service.......2007-09-03
I ordered the copy of Monets house and inadvertently entered the wrong address. The shipper kept me updated and sent me the book as soon as the post office returned it to them. I was very impressed with the service of the bookseller.
A visual treat for the eye created by Impressionist Monet........1999-07-31
The impressionist master,Monet's home represents a palette of vibrant color harmonies, and light fused into a radiant home of personal warmth and beauty. A perfect setting for the lush gardens flourishing outside. A full view of the rooms, that made Monet's house truly an artists abode with its elegant, yet simple furnishings.

Book Description
Description: Monet's London: Artists' Reflections on the Thames intimately explores Expressionist Claude Monet's London series of paintings, especially those that immortalized the Thames River. In this volume we are invited to explore the scope of the socio-cultural context of that time, through the works of Monet's contemporaries: Derain, Coburn, Fenton, Pennell, and Whistler, to name a few. In the latter half of the 19th century, London, specifically around the Thames, had become a seductive urban landscape--a place that encouraged artists to create. Not only does Monet's London document an important exhibition, but it is also the first publication to thoroughly document and discuss the artistic and cultural context of Modernist London (1859-1914), with special emphasis on the visual power of the Thames River.

After the scores of beautiful Monet books that have been published over the last two decades, it is hard to imagine that a new one could be indispensable. But this volume, the catalog of an exhibition at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston (fall 1998, then travels to the Royal Academy of Arts in London) is more than just lovely. The main essay, by Paul Hayes Tucker, is a spellbinding history that ably places Monet and his late works in the context of the shattering political upheavals of his time. Tucker demonstrates the patriotic ideal of La France, which for Monet and his public was the ur-subject of his entire oeuvre up to the end of the 19th century, from the crashing waves at Étretat to the shimmering facades of Chartres. Then came the Dreyfus affair, with the Catholic Church and French conservatives united in an anti-Semitic attack against the innocent Jewish army captain accused of treason. Monet passionately and actively joined the writer Émile Zola, who was arrested for defending Dreyfus in his famous article, "J'Accuse." Tucker traces the rift in Monet's use of imagery from this time forward, as he turns his back on quintessentially French scenes to focus instead on the closely observed gardens in his own back yard. Tucker also subtly evokes Monet's despair during the long years of World War I, and his often heroic efforts to be of use, despite his age. This sumptuous volume, with its 12 fold-out plates of the Water Lilies, is very, very beautiful, but its story of an aging artist deeply engaged in his art and his times is something even better. --Peggy Moorman
Book Description
This sumptuously illustrated book examines for the first time the rich body of work that Monet completed from 1900 to his death in 1926, a period during which he was enormously productive and more venerated than ever before. .
Customer Reviews:
A wonderfull look at Monet.......1999-12-06
I found this book not only to be filled with the wonderfull works of Claude Monete but it also has a great insight to his life and the imprssion he left on modern art today. This book also contains full fold-out pictures of some of the artists best works. For anyone who has ever enjoyed any of Monets work you will love this book.
A must, for anyone looking to expand an art library!.......1998-12-31
This book is a perfect addition to any art library. Having seen "Monet in the 20th Century" in Boston at the Museum of Fine Arts, I was well prepared for the exhibit by having read the book first. I found the exhibit to be an extraordinary example of Monet's achievment in his later years. This book focuses on the works of Monet starting at the start of this century right up to his death in 1928. All through this period of Monet's life and including the representation of the body of work produced within those years, this book never skips a beat. Although not an all-encompassing look at his complete works of that period, this book offers the best look out there of his paintings as well as his development throughout the last quarter-century of his life. I found it to be in keeping with what is already known about Monet's later years, but certainly not devoid of interesting insights. The quality of the book, it's contents, including all of the color plates reproduced within is very good. I would not have an art library without Monet representation, and this is the ideal book for an addition or a starter.
Book Description
Monet designed his garden as a painter’s subject, using plants like brushstrokes. Premier garden writer and photographer Derek Fell helps the home gardener recreate some of Giverny’s beauty through an illuminating examination of the painter’s planting philosophies. With hundreds of full-color photographs, and reproductions, Fell sheds light on Monet’s use of color, structure, favorite flowers; and more.

Secrets of Monet's Garden.......2000-02-24
So wonderfully photographed, well researched, and spell binding that I bought several more of Derek Fell's books immediately. This book inspired me to create a replica of the Grande Alle for my own front entrance.
Extraordinarily beautiful full of ideas and information........1999-09-27
I am so pleased with the purchase of this book. The photography is wonderful, the text is well written. I can't wait for next spring to arrive so I can try some of Monet's ideas.

Customer Reviews:
Rather Poor Reproductions.......2005-10-19
An earlier reviewer made some very nice comments about the text of this book--something I'm unqualified to address because I did not read the words. My focus was on the paintings themselves, which are not well reproduced here. I have seen these same paintings in other books, and the paintings are indeed beautiful. Here, however, the colors are washed-out. If you just need a general representation of Monet's paintings, this book might do. But if you want a much truer view of these great works, look elsewhere.
This is what art criticism should be like........2000-04-07
This book is unbelievable in its thoroughness. I read the book over 10 years ago, and I have never read another art book to match it.
This books shows what happens when an inquisitive mind investigates art. It answers not only any question that you had about Monet's art, but even those that you never thought of asking.
For example it addresses the signficance of the expansion of the French Railway system, and the growth of the middle class, in defining the market for art.
It addresses the canvas sizes used by Monet, and his progression from a history painter to a painter of genre paintings ( the one thing that he had in common with Degas ).
I think that the important thing about this book is that it shows that a thorough intellectual non-purely visual approach can be made to the analysis of art, without the use of artspeak. The result is a book that is both readable and informs. Oh what a novelty!

Book Description
Impressions of France traces the development of the French painted landscape from1860 to 1890, a period of dramatic artistic evolution. Taking as his context the Paris Salons - "the central forum for the display of contemporary art in Paris, and the focus for discussions of the state of modern art" - John House explains how the Impressionist landscapes exhibited there both reflected, and forever changed, the cultural tastes of the age.
