(Intoxicating Inspiration) 『What an opportunity to flip through the artistic journals of so many creative people. This book is all about the images. Not too much verbage, just pure inspiration. Slightly oversized, yet each page contains quite a bit of "white space" to let the pages pop. If you want to actually read everything presented, you will need a magnifier. Seemingly every journaling sytle is validated in this generous exploration of what others are doing in art journals. I will enjoy curling up with this book for a very long time.』
(expectations) 『This book just wasn't what I expected. May have been a little far fetched to think that the book would have been more scrap book like, but there was just something about the images displayed that gave me that vibe. It's not a bad book, but it's disappointing to not get what you want.』
(Shameless Rip-Off of the 1000 Journal Project) 『If you're interested in learning more about the 1000 Journals Project, don't buy this book. This book has nothing to do with the 1000 Journals project. The title is an attempt to piggy back this publication on the back of the famous 1000 Journals project. Furthermore, the content in this book is pitiful in comparison to the 1000 Journals project.
The real deal is 1000 Journals Project.』
(LOVE this book) 『Can't get enough of looking through this book. It's incredibly inspiring. There are endless ideas and techniques that created by different artists. I highly recommend this book for anyone who loves and enjoys art journaling.』 『
Over 1,000 journal pages presented in one beautiful full-color book
Journals offer their makers a safe place to dream, doodle, rant, and reinvent themselves. They offer viewers rich, visual inspiration. There is a fascination with these revealing and often beautiful pages of self-exploration and personal expression. Journals offer a tantalizing, voyeuristic view of an interior life.
This would be the first book to offer examples of over 1000 journal pages in one eye-catching, visual format, and would attract a wide swathe of artists who fully embrace or experiment with this medium.
Journaling has seeped into popular culture in a big way and this collection provides a wide array of ideas, techniques and themes to inspire and inform mixed media and journaling enthusiasts.

(Good but...) 『I do think this is a great resource for typographic inspiration, the problem is this is just a remake of the same publish in 2005. I purchased this book with the assumption it was the an updated version of "1000 Type Treatments" but it is just in a different format. The photos are much smaller and less fit on the page than the one I already have. It is rather disappointing and a rather bad marketing job on behalf of Amazon! The problem it is since it was such a cheap by it is not worth selling it back, so now I am stuck with two of the same books with different covers and dimensions.
Be aware and make sure you are not buying something you already have.』
(Very Inspiring) 『As a graphic designer, I found this book to be invaluable. It has given many ideas and shown me exciting new ways of using typography in my own designs. I would highly recommend this book to all designers, regardless of your speciality.』
(Great Work, Ruined) 『This is exactly the way a book on design should NOT be designed. And it's a shame because the editors found a lot of great work that would be inspiring if it weren't presented in an overwrought package with tightly-cropped photos on varying and illogically-colored backgrounds with poor labeling. It is simply too difficult to figure out exactly what one is looking at for the book to be enjoyable.』
(Great) 『Loved this book. And it`s great that you can see what font they used on the design. It`s a nice buy :) 』 『
New miniature version!
The ability to wield typography is one of those things that is a clear indication of a talented designer. Being able to craft type well and thoughtfully takes a deep understanding of the inherent complexities and a keen eye for the minute and subtle details. This book contains a collection of 1,000 instances of thoughtful type usage along with credits that note what fonts were used in the design. Like its predecessor, 1,000 Graphic Elements, the photography in this book focuses in on the typography so readers can get an up-close look at the work. 1,000 Type Treatments showcases an array of fonts in a catalog-like format, making it easy for the working designer to practically shop for ideas. The book is organized by style so if a designer has a traditional, elegant, or edgy piece, they can go directly to that section of the book, where they will find a wide collection of fresh ideas in the style they are seeking. Also included is a directory of font foundries and suppliers, providing busy designers with a quick reference guide to where they can find the fonts that pique their interest.

(Worth every penny!) 『A must for any music fan. Not only are the posters all very artistic and, dare I say, cool, but there is a wide array of very good bands represented. I've chosen to display the posters on my walls, and dollar for dollar this is one of the best deals on posters I've ever come across. Highly recommended!』

(Chock full of awesomeness!!) 『From cover to cover, this book contains designs and layouts that cover almost the entire scope of materials, techniques, styles and trends in dramatic design today. A must have in every designers personal library. I highly recommend this book』
(1000 Graphic Elements) 『As a graphic designer, I did not find this book very useful in generating ideas. There is very minimal info about the pieces featured and some photos are unnecessarily close-up and you cannot get a sense for the project.』
(1,000 Graphic Elements) 『A comprehensive display for the experienced and novice alike. Open up your world by seeing the splendid designs of others. A broad picture to the world of design from logos to brands. Yes, this is well worth the price. 』
(Nice Classic Piece for Promoters' Shelf) 『1,000 Graphic Elements: Details for Distinctive Designs In my mind's eye I see this series being originated by a marketing expert that decided to focus and feature their own industry. These books offer frequency in category, classic designs, and creativity that lends to brand building. This series is a collection promotion experts should have as part of their consistently used library. Enjoy...』 『Often, the small, delightful details make a piece shine, similar to the way unique buttons on a white shirt can give it an entirely new look. This book explores 1,000 of these embellishments available to graphic designers across all kinds of projects, from books to brochures, invitations to menus, CDs to annual reports.
Exacting photography, which is accompanied by credits outlining the vendors and materials used, focuses on these details. This book invites designers to literally shop for ideas.

IPhone 3G used's review (Great Textbook to Learn about the Ancient Arts) 『I used the textbook for the Art History One at Cerritos College. It is a comprehensive textbook to use. If your professor requires this textbook, then, it's a must have!』
(Gardner's Art Through the Ages) 『This book is in excellent conditions! I've enjoyed reading it. The text is more than acceptable. The book was basically new! I am more than satisfied with the outcome!』
(interesting, but not up to date) 『this book is great, and is very informative, however it is not the most recent edition of the book. the newer edition is much more thorough.』
(Art book) 『I was quite dissapointed with my purchase. The seller could have stated in his discription that the book had water damage. Pages were stuck together. I would have bought from a different seller had I known about terrible condition of the book.』
(Great and cheap for a College textbook) 『The item was in great condition. This book was very expensive in the college bookstore. It is well worth going online to save money on these college textbooks.』 『The market-leading text for the art history survey course, GARDNER'S ART THROUGH THE AGES has served as a comprehensive and thoughtfully crafted guide to the defining phases of the world's artistic tradition. With this book in hand, thousands of students have watched the story of art unfold in its full historical, social, religious, economic, and cultural context, and thus deepened their understanding of art, architecture, painting, and sculpture. By virtue of its comprehensive coverage, strong emphasis on context, and rich, accurate art reproductions, GARDNER'S ART THROUGH THE AGES has earned and sustained a reputation of excellence and authority. So much so, that in 2001, the Text and Academic Authors Association awarded both the McGuffey and the "Texty" Book Prizes to the Eleventh Edition of the text. It is the first art history book to win either award and the only title ever to win both prizes in one year. The Twelfth Edition maintains and exceeds the richness of the Gardner legacy with updated research and scholarship and an even more beautiful art program featuring more color images than any other art history book available. The Twelfth Edition features such enhancements as more color photographs, a stunning new design, and the most current research and scholarship. What's more, the expanded ancillary package that accompanies GARDNER'S ART THROUGH THE AGES, features a wealth of tools to enhance your students' experience in the course. With each new copy of the book, students receive a copy of the ArtStudy 2.0 CD-ROM--an interactive electronic study aid that fully integrates with the Twelfth Edition and includes hundreds of high-quality digital images, plus maps, quizzes, and more.』

The full-color illustrations are large enough to give you an overall idea without letting you steal the details. However, I was expecting it to be more organized from a design perspective.
Nonetheless, I'm glad I bought it! It's a good source of inspiration for color choices, shapes, and logotypes for signage and POPs. Not a great "reference" book per say, but every designer needs an "idea book" - this one just comes prepackaged! It's a good book at a good price.』
(Awesome Book, Beautifully designed) 『This book is an amazing source of inspiration and ideas. I used it as one of the research sources of my senior project in school and it helped me inmensely. It is also beautifully designed.』
(very good and inspiring!) 『this book shows the most important facets of building an image for a retail business, and has an important chapter about the environment of a retail store, a clue step in creating a powerful image and making a store a really captivating one.』
(Excellent when looking for inspiration on retail graphics) 『I freelance for a lot of small businesses and this book is perfect for that kind of inspiration and market.』

New miniature version!
With designers constantly working for clients and having a limited amount of freedom in much of their work, the chance to strike out on their own and do something truly original and personal is a real luxury. The cards included represent some of the most creative design available so are a wonderful source of inspiration for all types of projects. All designers and design firms, whether in-house or freelance, create their own greeting cards which serve not only as a greeting card, but as an opportunity to show off their work in a totally unique and uninhibited light. In addition, they are the perfect project because they are small enough so they are not incredibly time consuming nor are they very expensive to produce -- even with unique materials or treatments.
