Antique Furniture of Quebec: Four Centuries of Furniture-Making

From Library Journal

This large-format volume by cultural writer Lessard (art history, Univ. of Quebec) is lavishly produced, with many full-color photographs, detailed charts, and line drawings. Chock-full of both utilitarian furniture and prime examples of period pieces, the book is divided into six chapters covering various time periods from 1640 through 2000. The text and captions play second string to the profusion of pictures, whose sensitive presentation propels the reader into the available narrative. While the focus is somewhat parochial, this book has much of interest; it is not generally for the beginner, whether historian, artist, or woodworker. An important addition to collections on Canada, classical furniture styles, and, obviously, Quebec. Alexander Hartmann, Infophile, Williamsport, PA

Glorious Flowers: Arranging for Every Occasion

Amazon.com Review

Drawing upon the most notable floral styles throughout history, and particularly on the paintings of the impressionists, flower experts Derek and Carolyn Fell espouse a lovely "natural" aesthetic of flower arranging that stresses a casual elegance. Their beautiful book covers all aspects of the art: elements of style (line vs. mass, symmetrical vs. asymmetrical, harmony and proportion); the properties of each color and the most important flowers in each; the appropriateness of different containers for various types of arrangements; conditioning methods to prolong the life of cut blooms; choosing the proper display location; and growing a cutting garden. Crammed with specifics, the informative text offers terrific grounding in learning how to create your own arrangements rather than documenting the step-by-step construction of particular arrangements, effectively teaching you how to develop the skills and knowledge that will enable you to arrange flowers like a pro. --Amy Handy

How to Profit Flower & Herb Crafts

From Library Journal

Brabec and Platt are both successful craft authors with a wealth of business experience to share with those who are just starting out. Although their product lines are somewhat different, the business methods covered in both books are essentially the same, with particular attention paid to selling at shows, malls, and individual shops. Both authors combine a chatty style full of personal anecdotes with practical, down-to-earth advice about production, marketing, and legal considerations. Persons wanting to go into business and those already selling should read both books, and more, to have a realistic picture of the requirements for a successful craft business. Both titles are recommended.
