Wonderful, Colorful Bio Pic

If you love the story/struggle of early 20th Century Black musicians, this is a must-see. Leadbelly's contribution to American music is unmistakeable, and this film helps paint the picture of the man and the American atmosphere responsible for it. The really important dynamics of race and money in America really comes to life in this movie and Leadbelly's adventurous life is played out behind a wonderful soundtrack of music that really comes alive in this context.
If you are a Black movie collector, you need this in your collection. If you liked "Ray," the movie about the life of Ray Charles, you really need to see this movie.

I needed some reference material for a mural that I am doing for my sons nursery.  I came across this book on Amazon and figured I'd give it a shot, after reading the reviews.  The pics are wonderful and simply beautiful.  It's amazing to get to see some of the animals, plants and insects that we would otherwise never get the opportunity to see.
My only complaint, if you want to call it that, was that my book did not come w/ a cd that the other reviews talk about.  I don't know if it's because I bought the soft cover?? but none the less, I was dissapointed about that.  I was looking forward to listening to it, while painting and then playing it for my son once he's in his room.  I guess I can't complain too much, since it wasn't in the official description on the site.

I love the wide variety of pics in this!!  And the box holding the pages is lovely!  The paper is thinner than the JB books, but overall I love it!!  Great way to get a sample of her art work.

This book gives the reader a glimpse of Ms. Camilla's colorful world. I purchased this as a gift for a artsy friend who loves a good story. Great production quality for the small price! I am going to stock up for gifts.

I love this calendar. I originally purchased because I was having trouble finding a calendar with enough space to write things in. I still like to have that reminder on my wall of appointments etc... This has so many photographs. It's educational and colorful and lots of people stop and read or learn something new from it. It's oversized so there's plenty of room to write. It doesn't extend past the current year; which I think would improve it into Jan/Feb for instance, or even a "last page" for notes to add to next year's calendar.

This book is part of a series about famous people as kids and this work is the best one so far. There's not as many individuals in this book as there is in the others, but the bios go into much more detail here. The artists selected are from various backgrounds and a wide range of time periods. There's also a pretty good bibliography for more reading listed at the end. Adorable illustrations too! Best for middle grades.

Enjoyed the colorful pics and telling of the legend. Would have liked more info on the Goddess-who also appeared in Blue .it does not detract to include all past history .

I just finished reading through this book, and it is a beautiful book, with lots of photographs. It is also informative since it gives a very personal mini-bio of each of the atheletes, and then attach an environmental issue with each of the athelete. Very informative and simple to read!

This would be a beautiful coffeetable book, or a great present for people of all ages!

Also, I believe this book is made from %100 recycled material, and the ink is vegetable ink, very cool!

Just got this beautiful book yesterday, and loved paging through the pictures and seeing not only my father but his friends and cronies.  I would like the authors to know that Duncan was color blind, and that is why he was so good with black and white, and he used values, he memorized the values of the colors to know where they went and how he used them.  In later years he would call in mom or me to evaluate the color for the "right value", I learned so much from him and miss him dearly.  I also appreciated  one of the photos you had of him, I had never seen it.  I loved seeing the faces behind the names, Gibson especially, as Dad had so much respect for him....I heard the name at the dinner table all through  grammar and JR. high school.  You folks did a wonderful job on this book and I thank you!  He would not have been so happy, he was self effacing and modest, but I love it!

This is a gift and it is absolutely wonderful.  Colors are bright and photos are sharp.  Framed it in a dark Green Frame and I am sure he will love it.
