 |
| The Book of Food, GLUTTONY: More is More, is chock full of gourmet history, mouth-watering recipes & delicious paintings. | And the Book of Wealth, GREED & Its Rewards, an artful understanding of the rich and their treasures. | LUST, LOVE AND LONGING is a dazzling compendium of the best that has ever been said about those crazy feelings we call love. |

 |
| Now relax with SLOTH: Ode to Disarray & Delay and discover the picturesque benefits and joys of taking it easy. | Give in to ENVY, ANGER, & SWEET REVENGE: Hey, It Works in Hollywood. Colorfully illustrated stories of stars behaving badly. | And discover the Book of Beauty, VANITY: The Art of Looking Good, where outrageous fashions rule. |
| Even though they are, by definition, deadly, there's still plenty to celebrate about each of the seven sins, and Sin Series from Red Rock Press does just that. Each of the books in this series collects a mélange of quotations, legends, myths and artwork tracing the history of one of the Big Ones (or more, in the case of Envy, Anger & Sweet Revenge). | ||
| "There's not a whole lot of naughtiness here - most of the books would be at home on even the most prudish coffee table - but connoisseurs of both bad behavior and good trivia will relish the wealth of facts on everything from lust in the ancient world to envy in the modern one (see Kurt Vonnegut's quote: "I'd rather have written Cheers than anything I've written.") Copiously illustrated, the Sin Series are a welcome addition to any library of debauchery." | ||
| —Matt Konrad Ruminator Review |
||
| "A fun and lively romp thought the world of the seven sins. The volumes are attractively designed and brimming with full-color depictions of sin from art, photography, cartoons and film. My favorite, Greed & Its Rewards by business reporter Drew Fetherston, features a picture of Suryavarman's Angor Wat temple in Cambodia, a list of the wealthiest Americans, commentary on the films Greed and Chinatown, fables from Aesop, Simon Vouvet's painting, Allegory of Riches, and many other bits of wisdom and beauty"
These books make excellent gifts!" |
