| 11. |  | Maus I: A Survivor's Tale: My Father Bleeds History
from Pantheon
Price: $10.17
Customer Review:
Maus: A Survivor's Tale is author/illustrator Art Spiegelman's attempt to tell the story of his family as influenced by the Holocaust. This is part 1; part 2 is titled Maus II: And Here My Troubles Began. There is also a book that I assume combines both (The Complete Maus).
This is a graphic... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

from Drawn and Quarterly
Price: $16.47
Customer Review:
This book is done in the format of notebook pages that are profusely illustrated and jam-packed with handwritten lessons and musings on creating art. I'd say that this book is great for art of pretty much any medium, and that is why it is so effective. Have a look at the Look Inside! option here to... more info | 5.0 / 5.0

from Harper Paperbacks
Customer Review:
I have been buying the Simpsons wall calenders for a few years now, and I love them. They are fun, silly, and remind me of shows past. Along with all of them is also a full two-page poster in the middle.
I also like that they generally have a lot of holidays and birthdays listed for people that... more info | 5.0 / 5.0

Price: $6.99
Customer Review:
I got this book for my son for Christmas, and it looked like fun--the animals in it, though very simply made were incredibly cute--so I just had to try a few of them out before I wrapped it. Soon I was filling page after page with colorful, adorable Emberley-style creatures. Oh my, how sweet they... more info | 5.0 / 5.0

Price: $19.80
Customer Review:
I admit that I have not read this book, but I am skeptical of the author's knowledge of art history and ability to critically examine its nuances. In the glowing review above from the Washington Post (the paper she works for in fact) there is the following quote:

Customer Review:
I got the Kindle edition of this book.
Font is very hard to read and there is a lot of mangled words.
Images in the book are unusable due the poor quality (too grainy).
There are no navigational elements in this book. These are not essential but it would nice to have them.... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

from Simon Spotlight Entertainment
Price: $13.11
Customer Review:
One can imagine a number of histories written over the years, but Bob Eckstein, the author of the highly enjoyable "The History of the Snowman", has added one more. His story, told from modern-day backwards, looks at the snowman in lore, advertising, art and society. Richly illustrated, the author... more info | 5.0 / 5.0
