The Paris Apartment: Romantic Decor on a Flea Market Budget by Claudia Strasser, ISBN 0060391693
In the Paris Apartment, Claudia demonstrates how anyone can create an opulent yet comfortable living environment that is an exciting mix of personal style and fantasy. Every Paris Apartment starts with a fantasy - Moorish palace, Parisian cabaret, medieval tower, Victorian parlor. Once you find your fantasy, then you can let your imagination run wild. To show you how simple it is to turn a boring, blank apartment into a romantic haven, Claudia takes you through seven Paris Apartment transformations, working with real people and real apartments. While the Paris Apartment truly is a place of wonder, Claudia demonstrates how easy it is to create your own world of mystery and glamour - and it doesn't have to cost an arm and a leg. Step by step, Claudia shows you how to reupholster chairs, do your own rinceau, refinish furniture, paint walls, dye fabric, create drapes and valances, restore chandeliers, and use other fascinating techniques that do not have to be done by professionals. Half the fun of creating your apartment is in the hunt for the right table, chair, vanity, or knickknack. Calling upon years of experience, Claudia shares her flea market savvy, providing useful information on how to tell if your flea market find is a diamond in the rough or truly a dud.

The Dream Dictionary: For the Modern Dreamer by Tim Etchells, ISBN 071563108X
The Dream Dictionary for the Modern Dreamer is an indispensable guide for modern dreamers everywhere. Featuring one thousand new entries and interpretations, the dictionary concentrates on those aspects of contemporary life and dreaming which other dictionaries have neglected. Rather than concentrate on those archetypal features of human existence (chairs, tables, fire, love and falling), The Dream Dictionary is the first significant reference work devoted to explaining the particular, the transitory and the specifically contemporary as they may appear in the world of our dreams. What is the meaning of the dream in which one touches, without meaning to, the hand of a fellow traveler on an underground train? What does it mean to dream of a telethon, a modem, or the former Soviet Union? Or to dream that someone you love dearly is trying to barcode scan your eyes? All these and many other modern dreams are fully interpreted in The Dream Dictionary, that combines abundant exemplification with...

Craftsman of the Cumberlands: Tradition and Creativity by Michael Owen Jones, ISBN 081319038X
Michael Owen Jones's study of chair-making in southeastern Kentucky focuses on rural woodworker Chester Cornett. Cornett found a sense of security, stability, and self-esteem in the structures of his chairs and the virtuosity of their design. Considering other area craftsmen for comparison, Jones explores why people value aesthetic qualities as well as utilitarian ones in the making of everyday objects. He looks deeper still into the nature of the creative process and the traditions that influence it.
