Artistic, historical, and a unique gift idea

A great book with incredible artistic photographs capturing the rich history of Miller.  Paul Bialas does a wonderful job of showcasing the proud  and dedicated employees who produce Miller.

I enjoyed learning about the process and seeing rare photographs of Miller that are not available to the public.

If you are interested in photography, history, or learning more about Miller and Milwaukee; I recommend this book.

I had to get a gift for a dinner and gift exchange party.  I saw this and thought it was so beautiful, plus I loved reading the history.  The photo does not do the glass justice!  It is gorgeous, and has the melodic tone when you lightly tap on it.  The receiver loved it and loved reading about the history of it.  I will have to purchase two for me!

Best sort of gift for someone who loves things -- and not the typical hat & mittens set or earrings!

Judging from the feedback received from the recipient, he was very pleased with the content.  The photographs alone made this an impressive gift.  I have not read, nor have I personally seen any of the books.  I am only reporting the feedback I got from the person to whom I gifted the set.  So, although I cannot accurately rate the product, I can definitely state that it made an outstanding gift.

This is really beautiful and different. The quality of the book is outstanding, especially considering the price. I was looking for some ideas and inspirations for my daughter's upcoming birthday party (we're building fairy houses), and ordered this. I didn't realize that it's a book of inspirations for interior design and decorating. But it's so much more as well -- a unique coffee table book with breathtaking photography, a wonderful "read" for girls and boys (big and little) who love fairies or nature, and a gorgeous reference for artists, designers, and decorators. It even includes an individual color chart for those who decide to re-paint their walls (or anything else). Really good buy, and a fantastic, unique, and inexpensive gift!

For the old traditional gift giving at the holidays, I try to find unique gifts for people that fit their personality. For example, a book lover might love the latest Kindle with a gift card for a few books to get started, a Green Bay Packers fan might enjoy getting stock in the franchise, and a music lover will love a musical instrument ornament. This item was a gift to a relative who plays the french horn, is a local community band director, and has more tree ornaments than I think the tree does branches...

But anyways, more about this item. Shipping was right on time, it came well-packaged and not at all damaged. I and the gift recipient loved the plush looking velvet box it comes in - it just makes the simple brass-colored horn look beautiful beyond comparison. It fits well, and the item was just as described. It's pretty much a standard ornament when you hang it up, simple and a very nice addition to the tree at the holidays. It doesn't do anything flashy - light up, spin, or make noise - but I'm not a huge fan of those types of ornaments overall.

To me, this is the perfect tree-hanger even if you aren't musically focused in your life, although that does add a special touch. Makes a great gift, fairly inexpensive, simple yet unique. A+ service as always from Amazon (I heartily recommend Amazon Prime if you regularly buy goods from Amazon and have a Kindle), and a fantastic way to give a unique gift to someone special. Very highly recommended.

Gareth Hinds' work in this graphic novel is nothing less than impressive, though that is not so surprising as you review his collection of works on his website (garethhinds.com) - The level of detail in his images reflects the skill and passion of a refined artist and his respectful treatment of the original text gives a glimpse of a high appreciation of his subjects. This book is magnificently executed and complete. As such, his books are an ideal resource for teachers looking for a vehicle to inspire the elusive hearts of students, collectors looking for new art, or friends in need of a great gift. I recommend that you buy this book, enter into Hinds' artistic perspective of historic literature and then try your best to outdo the praises that were in this recent New York Times Book Review: [...]

The photography catches one's eye; the explanations and history inform and delight.  This book is a perfect introduction for readers who do not necessarily want a long tome, and a piquant taste for those who long to hunger for an archeological, artistic, and historical feast that can be found elsewhere.

I gave this as a gift to my brother in law. I chose it because it was unusual, and it's a work of art.
My brother in law is also part German. I think that he will probably enjoy it.

I cannot say enough good things about this box set! If you love History and Art as well as a little gossip, this is a great choice! I loved it so much that I gave made a gift of it for another History lover.

This book has a variety of historic designs, ranging from very simple borders, to complex portraits of folkloric figures -- in other words, something for everyone!
The designs are beautiful, classic, and well-presented.

Fantastic idea.  This book combines art appreciation together with coloring fun.  It's a great way to encourage students to get acquainted with famous works of art.  The quality paper is thick and the numbers disappear when colored. The pages are perforated for easy removal. It's a fine asset for "Show And Tell" for all ages. I will purchase again for gifts.  I hope there will be more editions. I would heartily recommend it!

This book was well worth the price I paid for it! It looks so small online but when it arrived, I was surprised by its size! There's full-color art, both exclusive to the book and photographs of historical paintings. While it makes a lovely coffee table centerpiece, it's also a good read.

Beautiful and elegant book. It groups art works from around the world with a common theme and then captions the images with the word for the subject of the image in multiple languages. While it has an obvious appeal for children, it is also a wonderful book for anyone interested in how different cultures through history have expressed themselves. Instead of presenting images by period or geographic location, grouping the images by subject highlights how human beings around the world are more similar than we are different. Looking through this book will not only introduce children to artworks and languages, but will also show how the desire to communicate and connect is universal.
