Taschen books!

[Heidi]

Taschen is absolutely my favorite book publisher on earth. Any other Taschen fans out there? (If you don't know Taschen, check 'em out: www.taschen.com :thumbsup: )

Below (ahem, Call Me Wesley! Attention!) is the book at the top of my birthday wish list:

[Robeson]

1. I agree. I've always loved their books.....

...One can always count on a good book with them. They never disappoint...:thumbsup:

[Heidi]

2. Why am I not surprised

that you also appreciate Taschen? :hug:

[Robeson]

5. Yes, I do.....

...I also like books published by Rizzoli. They are top quality....

[Heidi]

6. I'm googlin Rizzoli NOW!

You're a bad, bad man, Robeson, to tell me that when I'm sittin' on a pile of Christmas cash from my parents. :evilgrin:

[Robeson]

9. Here's their website.....

...http://www.rizzoliusa.com/index.pperl You can browse all their categories. Of course, you could always donate that pile of cash to the "Robeson Foundation". I promise, I'll put it to good use...:evilgrin:

10. Twombly!!!!!!

I don't have this one! Thank you!



This book will perfectly complement my "Audible Silence: Twombly at Daros." :thumbsup:

[CanuckAmok]

3. yeah, I have a few of their...ahem... "art" books around here....

[Heidi]

4. Cool!

I gave Call Me Wesley two volumes of Taschen's "History of Men's Magazines" series. I hadn't seen their Gieger books. (Arrrgh. CMW likes Gieger, too.) :hi:

[CanuckAmok]

7. they had...

...a limited-edition, two-volume collection of Giger artwork, large format (15" x 24" I believe), bound in a BLACK LEATHER BOX. I've been searching the rare book dealers for one for years.

The last one I listed, "http://giger.com", is a good book; it has all kinds of info, and features not just his paintings, but his sculpture, furniture design, his home, the Giger Bar in Japan, and more. Plus the Alien on skis!

[Heidi]

8. Have you ever been to the Giger museum

in Gruyères, Switzerland? His work is a little "dark" for me, but I appreciate his technical prowess and do sort of like some of the furniture he's designed. :thumbsup:

[CanuckAmok]

11. No, but I'd like to see it.

Sadly, the Tokyo Giger Bar has been closed and dismantled, so the museum is on my to-do list.

One of the guys I work with is in "a certain motorcycle enthusiasts' club", and Giger gave him a 10" cast silver Winged-Alien as a gift when they met at a convention.

12. If you make it to Gruyères,

beware the cheese. It stinks. :puke:

[NMMNG]

13. Those look exquisite

But unfortunately they are waaaayyyy outside my price range. :cry:

[Heidi]

14. I have to save up for them, Buffy, or ask for them as gifts usually.

But they're well worth it. :thumbsup:

How ya doin' gf? I'm hit-and-miss this week; no time to maintain a Nighthawks thread just now. :cry:

[NMMNG]

15. I'm sort of off-kilter myself

All hyped up and nowhere to go with it. :shrug:

[Heidi]

16. Kick for the day-crew book lovers. (nt)

[Strong Atheist]

17. I got their Jaybird book...

full of the hirsute that I like ...

[Heidi]

18. OK, post a photo of the Jaybird book, mistah.

(Is this one of the men's magazines book series?)

[Strong Atheist]

19. Yes, it is.

Can't photobucket yet, here is a pick at a web site.

20. CMW doesn't have that one.

I hope we'll have the whole series at some point, though. Anything 60s and 70s, I get a kick out of it. Know what I mean, jelly-bean? ;)

[Strong Atheist]

22. Yes, this has much for the

ladies as well.:-) Who or what is a CMW?

60's and 70's people were "natural", which I REALLY like.

[Heidi]

23. .

CMW is my husband, DUer Call Me Wesley.

[Strong Atheist]

25. Ah, thanks!
