Information in it seemed very basic - not ground breaking, and next time we will check out options at a bookstore first. Personal choices here too. Some people like walls with colors, some like white only, some wood.
Some very good basics in the book, but doubt I would pay full price for the set again!』
(These are very good) 『OK, I admit it, I'm hooked on the shows! Honestly I think the entire series of Trading Spaces books are good. My favorite is still the first one just because it is fun and filled with great photos. I think the photographer of these books does an amazing job. This is a great purchase for anyone who likes decorating or loves the show!』 『The two titles complement each other in ways no other books do: Readers can use what they learn inTrading Spaces Color!and apply it to the ideas inTrading Spaces Make it Yours!
Trading Spaces Color!uses a series of before and after pictures to show how adding color in various ways can change the mood of an entire room
Trading Spaces Make it Yours!shows readers how to add personal touches to everyday items.
Boxed set format makes it the perfect holiday gift (Trading Spaces Behind the Sceneshad its highest sales to date in a major retailer the week before Mother’s Day—nine weeks after its launch!)
Discounted price compared to buying the books separately increases the likelihood of buying both.』
IPhone 3G used's review (Color Coding book purchase) 『I ordered the book for my brother's wife as a gift. I was impressed with the price. I was already familiar with the Color Code, and wanted her to have an opportunity to learn about it also. Because I did not receive the book personally, I am not sure what condition it was in, however, I did not hear it was in bad condition, so I can only assume it was in good condition when it arrived. I would order from this source again.』 『A new way to see yourself, your relationships, and life.』

However, upon looking through the book, we realized that the treatment for most weeds is essentially the same. You get a lot of detailed descriptions, weed by weed, and then it tells you to use the same 2 herbicides to kill them (one for broadleaf weeds and one for grass like weeds). So, unless you really want to understand everything about weeds, save yourself the money and just buy the herbicides for lawn weeds from your local lawn and garden center.』
(A must get book if you want to know about weeds) 『This is an excellent book that really describes what the weeds are and what to do about them. Great clear REAL pictures of the weeds so there is'nt confusion with a drawing and what you are looking at in your turfgrass. I highly recomend this book to people in the lawn care and landscaping business. Or if your somebody that really likes to take care of your yard and want's a detailed book on what you see as the "bad" stuff in your grass and beds. I am a lawn care guy myself and love it.』 『Identify and control weeds with this colorful, expanded edition-with bonus CD

(Takes an urgent and serious topic head-on) 『The Color Of Guilt&Innocence: Racial Profiling And Police Practices In America by law enforcement veteran Steve Holbert and attorney Lisa Rose is a highly readable discussion of the all too common practice of racial profiling in America. Discussing data collection and analysis programs used to help determine whether racial profiling takes place, issues of civil liberty, police reaction to accusations, and much more, The Color Of Guilt&Innocence takes an urgent and serious topic head-on without losing itself in excessively confusing terminology or philosophy. Highly recommended.』
(Finally somebody gets it) 『I have been a cop for 17 years. I was skeptical of another book on racial profiling that bashes cops. A friend of mine gave me this book to read for training, and i was very surprised that someone finally got it. There is so much about this topic that the public does not know. This book finally gives a cops perspective and tells why, in most cases, cops are not racist. Every person in America racially profiles, and this book explains why. I was fascinated by the in depth discussion in one chapter that explains racism. The book also opened by eyes to the harm the victims suffer at the hands of some cops. I think everyone has something to learn from this book. The book finally sheds some light on data collection and why it will not work. Instead of re-hashing the same old "solutions," the book actually explores some innovative new ideas that should be implemented by law enforcement. Thanks for covering this subject in a whole new light!!』
(Incredible and comprehensive work on this subject) 『I am an avid reader on the subjects of civil rights and racial profiling. This book, simply put, is incredible. I thought I had a firm opinion on the subject, but after reading this book, I really see that there are two sides to this complicated issue. All is not always what you see. This book covers every possible aspect of this subject, and delves into areas that I have not seen covered before. I had never before considered the side of law enforcement, nor did I understand what was really going on behind the scenes. I also never really viewed this subject outside of the "black and white" issue. The authors reminded me that racial profiling effects every one of us. Now I can more effectively become involved in the fight towards racial justice with a more focused understanding of why racial profiling occurs and what can be done to stop this practice. I highly recommend this book.』 『The Color of Guilt and Innocence: Racial Profiling and Police Practices in America is the only book of its kind to receive national acclaim by scholars, special interest groups, and law enforcement organizations as the most comprehensive book ever written on the subject of racial profiling by police. The book is unique in that it objectively explores this controversial subject from the perspective of victims, civil rights advocates, and law enforcement officers.』

Usually ships in 24 hours IPhone 3G used's review (Not that impressed. . .) 『I expected that this would be something of a tutorial. a how to type of book, something that would take you through the process of creating beautiful women for comics. That's kinda what the title implies. . . well there is some nice artwork and the artist is very skillful, but much this is is presented like soft-core porn. Not what I was looking for in an instructional book.』
(THE CREATIVE PROCESS REVEALED) 『Michal Dutkiewicz' first collection of fantasy/pin-up art from SQP, "Girl Crazy: The Art of Michal Dutkiewicz", showed exactly why he is considered one of the top artists in the field today. In the latest collection from SQP, he shows exactly HOW he does it. Taking readers on a behind the scenes look, Dutkiewicz shows off his initial pencils and ink versions of his pieces, right next to the finished paintings. But more importantly, he comments on the various paintings and drawings, letting his fans know exactly how he worked on each piece and how he arrived at the finished product. Some show just the pen&ink and final paintings while other examples go from rough pencils, to inks, to various stages of digital coloring.
One of the best examples of this can be seen on page 25 in three different stages. First we have basically just a pencil outline drawing of a nude model, next is a full color rendering, with Dutkiewicz explaining his color layering techniques, and finally the finished piece with the exquisite detail of water glistening off her body, giving a new meaning to photo-realistic.
While this may not quite be the typical pinup art book we're used to seeing from SQP, it is a fascinating look at the creative process. Sometimes these guys make it look so easy that we fans my not appreciate the hard and often arduous work that goes into these paintings. The book will also be a help to young artists looking to improve their own technique.
Reviewed by Tim Janson 』 『One of the most prolific and talented artists in the field of fantasy illustration, Australia's own Michal Dutkiewicz has made quite a name for himself down-under with his over-the-top abilities . His unique blend of the classic pin-up with a post-modern sensibility makes every one of his paintings a delight to behold! One of the most-asked questions Michal gets (past "How much do want for that painting?") is "How do you DO that?" While he can't wave a magic wand and bestow his gifts onto others, he HAS elected to do the next best thing - show an appreciative audience step-by-step just how the magic is made! From pencil tests and studies to electronic coloring techniques, Mr. Dutkiewicz let's you watch over his shoulder as he makes his creations come alive! The book "Girls! From Line to Color" is a project Michal not only created, but designed as well. Humorous, insightful, and jam-packed with illustrations, it's a must-have for any aspiring artist, amateur or professional, or simply a fan of the genre who wants a peek behind the curtain to see how the effects are created. The book is 48 pages in eye-popping color, printed on heavyweight coated stock. How do you make magic? Learn from a REAL magician! His work is truly awesome!』
