Very Helpful Wine Region Guide of France.......2007-05-07

This guide book covers various regions of France including less known regions and contains from basic wine information to beginners to more advanced information for well-experienced travelers. I have traveled to certian wine regions in France a number of times in the past but still find this book very helpful and informative.

Fabulous Travel Guide for France: Many Off the Beaten Path Attractions.......2007-02-22

I got this book as adjunct to my Frommer's France Guide, but ended up using it as my main tour guide. We weren't primarily doing a wine tour (would have loved to do more, but with three kids along, couldn't do that much). But, as it turns out, almost all of France is a wine region so the book pretty much encompassed every place we went. But what made it really valuable is all the off-the-beaten path tourist attractions it covered. For instance, through this guide we found: Monkey Mountain in Alsace (Barbary Macacques from North Africa, wandering amongst humans in a wooded enclosure), the prehistoric cave of Aze with bones of cave bears and an underground river (not mentioned in Frommer's -- local people in Beaune, 45 minutes away didn't even know about it!), and, best of all, a wine-tasting Chateau in Savigny-les-Beaunes with an attached Motocross and Aviation Museum (head to the museum kids, we'll be along in a while!) I couldn't believe what a great guide it turned out to be for a family trip.

The Authoritative Introduction to the Graphic Arts.......2004-01-02

Since it was first published in 1934 the Pocket Pal has been THE reference for the printing trade. Whether you were an artist, designer, advertiser, student, buyer, or an actual printer, this book usually had the practical and up-to-date information that you needed.

You have the entire history of printing here, from letterpress to lithography, gravure, screen printing, and flexography. Two new sections have been included on electronic pre-press systems and quality control.

The major sections included are: history, the printing processes, type and typographic imaging, copy preparation, art preparation, graphic arts photography, film assembly and imposition, electronic pre-press systems, platemaking, printing, quality control, binding, paper, printing inks, graphic art terms, and International Paper printing papers (the Pal has always been published by International Paper.)

Whether you are interested in the history of printing, looking up a specialised term like "quoin" or "em", proofreader's marks, or color separations, then this book is for you. Just starting out in the printing trade? - impress your boss by actually learning the fundamentals of the art. This really is as close as you get to a printer's bible.

It doesn't get more important.......2004-04-28

As a student I got my first one and am getting ready to get my next. The Pocket Pal should be required reading for everyone in advertising and production, from the art director, the production manager to the account team. These are need to know terms!

A classic!.......2001-01-26

Nearly 30 years ago, as an art student, I bought my first copy of this classic work. Small, clear and well organized, this book remains the essential guide for anyone who needs to understand the basics of graphic arts and printing production. Most of the artists and production people I know always keep a copy within reach. Like them (and me), you'll consult it again and again.
