Lamplighter (Monster Blood Tattoo, Book 2)
Buy Low Price From Here Now
The eagerly awaited second book of the critically acclaimed trilogy!
Orphan Rossamünd Bookchild has been sworn into the Emperor’s service—his duty is to light the lamps along the Emperor’s highways and protect travelers from the ferocious bogles that live in the wild. But he’s found it no easier to fit in with the lamplighters than he did with the foundlings—always too small and too meek—and his loneliness continues no matter how hard he tries to succeed.
But when a haughty young girl, a member of a suspiciously regarded society of all-women teratologists— monster hunters—is forced upon the lamplighters for training, Rossamünd is no longer the most despised soul around. As Rossamünd begins to make new friends in the dangerous world of the Half-Continent, he also seems to make more enemies, finding himself pushed toward a destiny that he could never have imagined.

I love love this series!! Can't wait for the 3rd book to come out in Sept 2010.
By Joshua Busch (Minneapolis)
This book is wildly inventive and deeply embedded in the world in which Cornish has created. I happened upon this series by accident and I don't understand why the series isn't bigger. This series could easily be a movie(s).
By Daniel F. Van Werken (Scotia, NY)
This book is a transition book. We have Rossamund, who was bound and determined from the first book to fulfill his duty to society and his fellows to become a responsible Lamplighter. In book 1, while he had troubles getting to the Lamplighter Headquarters for training, he finally reaches it. While Rossumund had adventures getting there and a job offer any one of us would consider better than being a Lamplight, he stuck to his original plan.
In this book, Book 2, Rossamund does indeed begin training and graduates from the academy to become what he started out to do. However, we can guess that his life isn't going to continue on as a Lamplighter. Otherwise, there'd be no reason to keep reading, right? I mean if it's a story of "travel to the academy, train, work..." we'd not have read any further. The problem is that Rossamund isn't going to stop pursuing his goal willingly.
Therefore, this book is the transition. Rossamund does achieve his base goal, but things go awry. Without spoiling the ending, we find this is the book where the major transition occurs and Rossamund is finally willing to give up his original goal and move on to what we, the readers, consider the more interesting part of the story. Well done.

I suppose that the Harry Potter books have taken up so much of the reading time of pre-teen and teenagers (plus tons of others!), that this series has nearly been overlooked, but it most assuredly should NOT be. I bought "Foundling", the first book in the series, on sale for almost nothing when it just happened to catch my sight and looked 'interesting', but it proved to be a lot more then that. Once I was into reading that I just knew that I HAD to locate the follow-up books. And I did. I found "Lamplighter" for retail price and said, "No way!" to the price. So I came to Amazon and got a wonderful price on it. This series has very good guys, very, VERY slimy, sleazy bad guys, horrid Monsters, and sadly, good, kind and protective Monsters who are seriously misunderstood. I'm not going into the actual storyline here because I want YOU to buy the books and READ THEM for yourself. The third book in the series is due our mostly likely within the year, and I'm finding it hard to wait, but just found out that the second draft is at the publishers now, August 2009. If you enjoy reading about people with increasing courage under dire circumstances, very believable nasty creeps, people coming to see the Truth behind the socially accepted lies about something quite serious, and you just plain liked the Potter books, the "Monster Blood Tattoos" is the next series for you. But one warning..... if you're anything like me..... you'll be up later then you at night, because THIS series is an absolute page turner. And you won't want to stop! ENJOY!

What an amazing journey Monster Blood Tattoo is! It seems that all I did for two weeks was read these books. I just could not put them down.

Vintage Tattoos: The Book of Old-School Skin Art
Buy Low Price From Here Now
Tattoos have gone from badges of rebellion to fashion statements fully absorbed into mainstream culture. They are enjoying a renaissance, with graphic designers and artists creating specialty tattoos for a growing audience, unleashing a revival of interest in the bawdy vintage tattoo. Old school tattoos are being rediscovered (sometimes ironically, sometimes not) by a new generation. Originally embraced by rebels, sailors, and gangsters, these tattoos—broken hearts, naked girls, floral motifs, and maritime emblems—are now showing up on the fashion runway and in music videos. This book chronicles vintage motifs in thematic chapters interspersed with profiles of influential tattoo artists and their distinctive designs: Sailor Jerry Collins, Don Ed Hardy ("the Godfather of Tattoos"), Mike "Rollo Banks" Malone, Bert Grimm, Japan’s Horiyoshi III, and Shanghai’s Pinky Yun.

The images are the same images you find looking at the flash images at a tattoo shop. Nothing original at all about this book. Very disappointing. I am returning it.
By N. Palazzo (Providence, RI)
Vintage Tattoos is an impressive compilation of true Americana. Exploring ink life from the carnival to the navy and throughout a century of beauty, icons, and curiosity, Carol Clerk brings an unbiased voyage of truly personal art and obsession.
By Bombina (North Carolina)
There is no shortage of tattoo books coming out these days.I liked this one because it dealt with old school flash which is my preference.A lot of interesting information and well illustrated.Quite a bit on George Burchett and his work which I found especially good.

This book is acceptably written and edited, but it is extremely introductory. It says things like "There is potential danger of damaging your internal organs or bones, so read up on the subject before actually starting this process." It was certainly my assumption before buying this book that I was "reading up" about the topics covered, but as long as the reader is aware they are buying a shallow, introductory overview of the topics covered, they won't be too disappointed.
There are a handful of good color photos in the edition I purchased (2004) and some decent illustrations, but I would not recommend this book as a primary book to someone who has more than a passing interest. It may be a good book for parents or concerned family members of people who have gotten into piercing or body modification? I don't really know, I didn't have the patience to read through the whole book as I felt like skimming and skipping over most of the sections.
By V. Baldwin
This book knows its subjects. These topics are stated clearly and in good detail. If you want to learn the terminology and get a clue as to why some folk modify their bodies then this book is for you.
By Jerome Yontz (glendale,az)
this book was very disappointing. not alot of information and any information it had was very general. hardly any pictures or anything of value. skimmed the book did not even bother to read it. seemed to be made for people who are not even old enough to get pierced or tattooed.
By Rebekah Sue Harris (West Haven, CT USA)
"The Body Art Book" is billed as a "complete, illustrated guide," which it isn't. It highlights many topics, but none in depth. There are eight pages of color photos, and some black and white illustrations. However, for every thing I found wrong with this book, there was an equal and opposite reaction. For example:
Regarding latex gloves: "Every piercer MUST wear latex gloves when touching sterilized tools or jewelry." Should this read "Every BODY ARTIST?" (After all, NOT only piercers should be gloved!) Furthermore, what about artists or clients with latex allergies? However, pointing out that gloves should be changed if the [artist] picks up the phone was very important.
Regarding piercing guns: not enough emphasis, in my opinion, placed on the fact that professional piercers never use guns. However, the author DOES mention it, which is information that a lot of people don't know.
There were a few snide comments about people who get body modifications to be cool. While that wouldn't be my motivation, if I were the author I might have said something more to the effect of One's body is sacred, so one might want to take that into consideration before making permanent changes for the sake of fashion (in other words, perhaps less condescending).
I'm also not crazy about the layout of the book. Piercing and tattoo information is separated within chapters, instead of being in separate chapters. Also, I don't know why henna and scarification were in the same chapter!
The author seems to have fleshed out an outline, but doesn't seem to have gone much further. It's a shame, because there is a ton of information on the Internet that would have given a great deal of substance to this book.
There IS some incredibly valuable information in this book -- information that many people wouldn't have without doing some research AND information with which most people are not armed before walking into a studio.
(This book was a Wishlist purchase.)

I can not believe that a publisher would agree to call this book 'complete' it is ANYTHING but complete. In fact, it is downright skimming. This shows some poorly drawn illustrations of completed facial piercings/ear piercings and that is about it - there is no 'guide' about it. It shows a few pages of colour tattoos, but clearly was not well thought out. I am returning mine and suggest that if you pay more than garage sale price, youve been taken. My opinion, thats all.
