Feb 15, 2018
Botticelli's Bastard + Giveway This my first in this kind of book dealing with art and history. It a good book and interesting. It deals with Germany and take over of Europe in the 1940's. I liked the idea of the painting talking and telling detail about his owners. That what is been so neat about it. I love the fact that Giovanni started with a discovery of stolen art.
Giovanni has some family problems that it so funny in a way that he find a discovery to lift his spirit. The author was good and i enjoyed the book. I rate this book at 4 1/2 stars. Those the painting stories about himself is so funny that you want to laugh. It makes you want to find out more of they mystery of the painting. If you want you can enter the giveaway try and win a copy.

There's a lot of potential on Painting Pictures — the production is consistently stellar, providing shiny, rich-sounding trap backdrops, and Kodak's ear for features is excellent

A great game in so many ways
I've been playing Age of Sigmar since its release and it is a great table top wargame. Combines that fantasy feel with classic Warhammer grim darkness. Whether it's modelling, painting or playing this game has something for everyone. It's also a great way to get out and meet people at clubs and events linked to the hobby. One day you could even find yourself on the competitive scene either playing in Grand Tournaments at Warhammer World or entering the Golden Daemon painting competition.
Great for all ages and abilities.
Would recommend.

Goddess in the Stacks (553 KP) rated Above the Timberline in Books
May 22, 2019
I'm calling this a graphic novel because that's really what it is - it's not a comic, though. Each spread of pages is a mixture of text and oil painting - sometimes just a painting.
If it was just the text, it would be a very lackluster book. There are aspects of the story that are unexplained, and aspects that are explained only by the accompanying paintings. It's really the paintings that make this book unique. It's almost like - an adult picture book, I suppose. It actually reads more like someone found the series of paintings and constructed a story to support what they imagined was happening in the pictures.
Regardless, it's a unique experience. Manchess is a remarkable artist. The paintings are gorgeous, and the book does that thing where the text and art play around each other on the page, creating unique formatting that helps tell the story on its own, like when a full two-page spread of a painting has two lines of text to emphasize them.
Fascinating, beautiful book.
