Stephen P's First Guide.......2001-10-26

I have been cruising the Bahamas for over 30 years. For all these long times there was just one cruising guide available. And it was quite limited in scope. The along came Stephen Pavlidis. He has singlehandedly upgraded the quality and safety of Bahamas cruising . His Exumas Cruising Guide is the most complete information you can get for that area. I wouldn't think of cruising the Exumas without it. Stephen Crow, K4CPX

Don't leave home without it.......2000-07-29

I have cruised the Exumas four winters on my Jeanneau 41. I wouldn't think of doing it without Steven's wonderful book. He includes, for example, many chartlets not to be found in any other guide. Hence, I was able to find anchorages not well known (and which had, as a result, more lobster!).

Don't even think of visiting the Exumas without this book (or any other area included in his other guidebooks without its associated book).

Essential and Comprehensive.......1998-04-16

I found the book to be the Bible for getting in and around the Exuma Cays. More importantly, the book nicely deals with the history, geography, flora and fauna of the cays. There is no way that a person should consider sailing, motoring or paddling into the Exumas without this book in hand. Too bad it was not printed on waterproof paper and bound with stainless steel staples. If your headed for the Exumas be sure to read and bring a copy along. It might also help to secure it in a large zip lock plastic bag.

Educational and very funny.......2002-08-09

An educational and very funny read. The facts are all true, but have been presented in a consistely funny and readable tabloid style. Maps, pictures, and fact boxes (and some very funny ads) support the text. Highly recommended.

Forgotten history.......2000-05-15

My name is Maelle and I am in 4 th grade. This was a fun book and I really enjoyed it because it was presented in an easy way to learn and understand how some civilisations lived in the old old days, not the usual way of sometimes boring history books. This book make me want to learn more details about the Vikings.

The selection and quality of the files are great. It would have been better if they were larger, but even enlarging them 200%, I got the qaulity I wanted from a color printer.

Beware of books with the same information but different covers........2005-09-05

I thought that I was ordering two books with different crate label art in them. I looked at the covers and they looked like different books. In fact the only thing that is different about them is the cover. It was all just a waste of money.

Too big and too wide...........2004-12-04

There is definetely no shortage of color in Ms Grafton's book; the illustrations and color on the labels is absolutely stunning. However, I did encounter significant difficulty when using the labels for the purpose of decoupage. First, the paper they are printed on is of a flimsy quality causing the ads to wrinkle & form air bubbles; thus, gluing any of the ads on a surface was very difficult. Second, the ads are too big and too wide. I would have appreciated ads of all variety of sizes, but many are just too big to glue on smaller or narrow boxes. A decoupage expert may know how to handle this kind of paper, but not a beginner.

Fruit crate art still flourishing.......2001-08-14

I highly recommend this paperback book to anyone who has an eye either for graphic art or rural Americana. At first glance you might wonder what all the fuss is about fruit crate labels, then one particular illustration from Carol Grafton's brilliantly colored collection of 92 designs catches your eye and you are hooked.

As the concise yet historically accurate summary points out on the first page, these colorful, often whimsical, labels were affixed to wooden shipping crates of produce until the mid 1950's when they were replaced by more standardized cardboard boxes. For someone who grew up in agricultural America (as I did) these pictures are nostalgically evocative of a time and place that is disappearing fast. My favorites from this book are the multicolored duck representing Duckwall brand pears from Hood River, Oregon, a pelican made of lettuce, and a Strathmore bagpipe player (who knew there were Scots in Strathmore?).

Many of these same labels have been featured in an exhibit by the California Historical Society in San Francisco (because the lithographers were from local graphic design businesses) and on Antiques Roadshow. Thousands of the original labels themselves can still be purchased at fairly low cost (try internet sites) but this book includes many that are no longer available and so is a good introduction to collecting.

My only regret about this book is that all the pictures couldn't have been the half page size that many are and that there could have been twice as many of them; I would have gladly paid the price. As it is, this volume is an excellent introduction to crate art for a very low price. Maybe there will be a Volume II.

Book Description

89 miniature works of art from cigar boxes depicting lovely ladies associated with such brands as Blue Belle, La Coqueta, and Madame Butterfly; portraits of Tom Mix, Sherlock Holmes, and other celebrities; as well as pictures of cowboys, sailors, racehorses, and more. All lend themselves to a variety of royalty-free applications.

Customer Reviews:

Where are the cigar labels?.......2005-01-16

As usual Ms. Grafton provides color and variety in the graphics; this book on cigar labels, however, only has a handful of graphics which are actually labelled as 'cigar labels.' Some of the graphics only indicate they are related to cigars by the men smoking in the pictures. The graphics appear to be poor copies with no indication as to what they are. They could be pictures taken out of an old magazine with no cigar seals or maker.
