In this definitive work for our generation; Donald Low brings together; for the first time; the words and tunes of all Burns known songs; both `polite and bawdy. The Songs of Robert Burns were; in their authors eyes; the crown of his achievement as a poet. After years of study and investigation; many hours spent listening to old airs; as he recalled the living; daily; song-life of the people of Scotland; and through the creation of some of the finest lyric poetry produced in the British Isles; Burns success is beyond doubt.

The only con to the book is it is small; but otherwise it is full of useful imagery. Basically 57 plates; dragons; koi; leaves; cranes; flowers; trees; bamboo; etc. All black and white. Quite a few pages of historical context.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. I enjoy this oneBy Tabbykitten13A very nice overview of a variety of Japanese motifs. I was a little surprised at the writing inside; until I found it was first published in the late 1800s. The information inside is still very good; aside from a few very quirky translations of Japanese words. I am very glad to have gotten this book.32 of 34 people found the following review helpful. Excellent resourceBy Geetesh BajajThis is the type of book you want to own if you are involved with design. Its great for those times when you need to create something that relates to this school of design - it is also pure inspiration. Surprisingly for a design book; this comes with a text part that contains a refresher on Japanese design.Geetesh Bajaj/Indezine.com
