Cover and Link to Amazon.com Volcano Arts' Review
Kaleidascope Kaleidoscope
By Suzanne Simanaitis
The editor of ARTitude Zine, Suz Simanaitis, invited over 30 artists to submit projects and articles for this great book. Contributors include Christine Cox, Randi Feurerhelm-Watts, Lisa Cook, Juliana Coles, Marilee Fosbre, Terry Lee Getz, Sylvia Luna, Pilar Pollock and of course, Suz Simanaitis and many others. The projects range widely and the book definitely speaks to the "Volcano Arts Tribe." It's a really fun book and I'm proud to have contributed.
Illuminating the Word: The Making of the St. John's Bible
This book is incredible! It tells about the making of the first fully illuminated manuscript (hand-written) Bible to be made in over 500 years. It details how the calligraphic hand was developed, the quill and parchment preparation and a million details that are of interest to calligraphers, bookbinders (though the binding of the bible isn't covered in this volume) or Bible scholars. A gorgeous book for a very reasonable price.
The (mini) Art Book from the editors of Phaidon

I absolutely love this inexpensive book. I've used it for years as a great quick reference. When an artist's name comes up and I'm unfamiliar with her work I just turn to her name in the alphabetical book and I find out just a paragraph worth of information about her and a photo of a representative painting or other work. What I love most is that, since it's in alphabetical order, it isn't tied to a particular period of time or school of art. You never know what you're going to get when you turn the page! It's a lot of fun to browse.
