yesterday's mail > more books...

used books that arrived yesterday from amazon & assoc:

alan magee: paintings, sculpture, graphics < love it. his work is very tight & some of it is macabre which i can appreciate. i am intrigued by his output to tapestry & wonder if that is something that is relatively economical in asia - like julia scher's mfg stone scuptures of dogs or hats?
-----------------------
social psychology 2007-2008 (annual editions) < often used as text in college psych/soc courses (how i encounter it). it contains a mix of professional journals, academic research, or periodical article reprints.
chapter headers:
research issues

-------------------------
machine in the studio: constructing the postwar american artist (carolina jones) < don't know much yet...
