Since 1940, when it was originally published, The Artist's Handbook has been indispensable for thousands of practicing artists and art students. The book has remained continuously in print through many editions and has some more than a quarter of a million copies. It is, as American Artist Magazine calls it, the "artist's bible," an invaluable reference for the painter, sculptor, and printmaker. During the past few years, however, new art movements and new research have led to many changes in the technology of artist's materials. With the assistance of Mayer's widow, Bena, and his colleagues, Viking and Steven Sheehan, Director of the Ralph Mayer Center at Yale University, have prepared this latest revision of the book, which is now completely updated and expanded.

The Handbook does retain its original, user-friendly format. Mayer intended that this encyclopedic volume be referred to frequently, and he therefore gave specific, practical advice on every aspect of his subject. In addition, he compiled valuable lists for the artist: retail sources for materials, a pigment catalog, a bibliography, and an extensive appendix. And the detailed index makes all of this information immediately accessible.

Beautiful, Durable Jewelry Box with Amazing Storage — Everyone Wants One!
Color: White + Gold
This jewelry box is absolutely adorable! We ordered it as a birthday gift for a little girl, but once it arrived, every girl in the house (including me!) wanted one of our own. The outside is beautiful and durable, and it comes in multiple colors. The top is lockable and includes two removable watch holders, which is such a nice touch. Inside, everything is lined with soft velvet that feels really high-quality. There are four different drawers, each with different compartment sizes so you can organize rings, earrings, bracelets—everything. My favorite part is the two side doors that snap open to reveal space for 16 necklaces total (eight on each side). The hooks make it easy to hang them without tangling, and each side has a little pouch to catch the ends. It’s honestly the most thoughtfully designed jewelry box I’ve found at this price. Beautiful, functional, and the perfect gift!
