> THE ART OF ARCHITECTUREAL DRAWING:
> Imagination & Technique
> By Thomas Wells Schaller
>
> This stunning new book celebrates the power and utility of
> architectural drawing, not merely as a means to an end, but as
> emblematic of the larger process of creative thinking. The author
> thoughtfully presents and discusses architectural images which both
> derive from and inspire the act of building. Beautiful black & white

> of drawing as an exercise of the imagination.

> By William Haig and Laurel Harper
>
> This trailblazing new book provides a comprehensive study and
> foolproof method for creating the most important business marketing
> tool--a winning logo--through that vital communication principle,
> credible persuasion.

>
> For more information about these books, ordering information, and a
> 15% discount, visit: http://www.vnr.com/vnr/adsale.html
> or order by calling 1.800.865.5840

> ** Contest **

win a
