Advantages: Inspiring clear text, sample images, background stories Disadvantages: Some sections could have been bigger
...There are a great many books on Digital Photography you can choose from. Some tell you how to use your camera. Others show you how to work with Photoshop and it's ilk. Others concentrate on specifics such as portraiture. This book is rather different.
Stephen Johnson is a highly regarded photographer who has pictures in some of the top museums and galleries around the world. He has also acted as technical consultant to such names as Apple, Epson and Adobe. It's fair to say that when Johnson has something to write about digital photography, it's going to be worth reading.

Advantages: Easy to read and understand Disadvantages: Some of it is goes a bit too far for me
...I have built up quite a collection of self-help books over the years to try and help me deal with my lack of self-confidence. Creative Visualisation is one of my favourites.

lewiscrofts
Advantages: short Disadvantages: few
...Flaubert had already established his fame 20 years earlier with the realist novel “Madame Bovary” and now with this work consisting of three short stories, he develops the realism genre revealing different aspects of his creative genius. The stories take place in simple parts of French countryside like Normandy making the tragedy and intrigue seem even more unsettling. The final tale concerns John the Baptist, a story addressed by many writers, embodying the idea of the ‘femme fatale’ with Salome. This is not my favourite book but it is not unpleasant to read, but I still would not recommend you to buy it....
