Volume 1: Acrylics to Batik
Page Count: 128
Notes: I'm psyched that Dr. Isaac Asimov contributed to this series. His nonfiction writing is as entertaining and thought-provoking as his fiction. I actively look for the science texts he wrote as the most engrossing way to learn about any subject he cared enough to write about. Yes, I'm terribly geeky - but I'm not wrong. Dr. Asimov was a brilliant writer who could have made shopping lists fascinating. We will never have his like again.
