Rare and wonderful!
I've never seen such a diverse collection of Judaica. There are postcards of the Jewish people from many regions of the world, from many generations, and on many topics. Wonderful! I don't know whether to mail these or save them! ... Read more

Simply Superb.It is far more than it appears to be.
Many people think that postcards are either views of some hotel or museum reproduction of an old master, or an ad for the local politician or car dealership.As a result, most of them are literally astounded when they see the wealth of photography and art which has adorned the picture postcard since the late 19th century and which is still going strong into the 21st.

Nice pictures, but lacking information
This short book does a fair job of picturing the breadth of post cards: from an Austrian 1897 card to a 1990's Barbie card.There are many categories introduced, with some great pictures, but I would have appreciated more information, such as how to buy cards on EBay, or how to send cards. The "Where to buy" section has no dealers in the United States. The US post card history is sparse, particularly in dating cards; for example it doesn't include dates for divided backs(1907).Some basic definitions such as "linen" aren't presented.

Miller`s Postcards:A Collector`s Guide.
I personally found this book sketchy and superficial.Unless you are for example a general dealer who just wanted a few basic guidelines about a subject you previously knew nothing about then please avoid like the plague...

Good beginner's guide
For someone considering getting into postcard collecting and hasn't decided on a specialty yet, this guide is a great overview Read more

So many vastly different types of cats!
There are so many breeds of cats and their characteristics are so different that sometimes the only thing they have in common are their basic shape of a head, body and four legs. There are longhair cats and no-hair cats. There are cats with long tails and cats with no tails. There are mild cats and then there are wild cats. There are some really big cats and some really small cats. Each of these breeds appears in the photographs of this collection. Generally, there are two photos of the breed, one with the cat solo and another where a human is somehow interacting with it. The photography is excellent, making this a book that all lovers of cats and those simply interested in learning more about the various breeds will enjoy.

cats are on their own....
Yann Arthus-Bertrand is an excellent photographer, known for a unique series "Earth from above" as well as for books dedicated to dogs and horses. I bought "Cats" because I am owned by a cat and also because my mother owns another book by Arthus-Bertrand "Dogs". Both books are designed on a similar plan, namely numerous breeds are presented with a brief description, informative and fun, next to a picture of a perfect breed representative with his/her owner(s). The quality of animal pictures is superb in both books, but it is the essential difference in natures of the animals that makes one book a smashing success and another somewhat disappointing. Dogs present striking similarity, or contrast with their owners, each picture looks like a family portrait, - nothing of a kind occurs in "Cats". These are the pictures of gorgeous animals - and different people, owners and cats could be shuffled without any damage to the overall impression. By contrast, looking at the pictures in "Dogs", one can't help but think:"This lady couldn't have had anybody else but Maltese". Nevertheless, photos in "Cats" are exquisite, texts on various breeds are informative and fun and the book surely is a nice addition to a cat lover's library. As for depth of cats' nature - well, it remains as impenetrable to humans as ever. ... Read more
