Les cinglés du chocolat by Sandra Boynton, Jean-Jacques Brisebarre, Sylvie Girard.
Published: 1987.
English title: Chocolate: The Consuming Passion.
CHOCOLATE continues to delight chocoholics everywhere. Packed with Boynton's famous hippos, bunnies, pigs, and other animals, this gift-perfect book is a whimsical commentary on the individual's relationship to chocolate, its varieties, and its sources. From the several sorts of chocolate connoisseur-including the gourmoo, who eats only milk chocolate-to the several shapes of chocolate itself (bunny, kiss, glove compartment bar), Boynton's apologia for chocolate misses nothing. Myths are chocolate is not fattening, she argues, especially when the caloric expenditure of carrying it home from the store and hiding it from company is factored in. Directions are to remove stains, lick them. Plus, how to grow chocolate at home, a foolproof method for determining if chocolate is in season (does the name of the month contain the letter A, E, or U?), and a recipe for Hippo Pot de Mousse. "Fourteen out of ten people like chocolate," says the artist. This is the only guide for people who like chocolate the way they like to breathe.
Résumé in French:
Léger, drôle, amusant, le livre illustré avec humour analyse et présente tout ce qui touche de près ou de loin au chocolat : profils chocooliques, fabrication, comment s'en procurer, quelques clichés, quelques recettes, réactions et psychologie … de quoi faire rire une accroc du chocolat comme moi ! Bref, avec une petite touche de mauvaise foi (et de crise de foie) propre aux chocophiles aigus, ce livre est à lire en mordillant quelques carrés de chocolat !

- French Influences Hardcover Book By Betty Lou Phillips Signed First EditionBy Betty PhillipsLocated in North Hollywood, CAFrench Influences Hardcover Book By Betty Lou Phillips, photographer Emily Minton. First Edition 2001 hardcover coffee table book, signed by Betty Lou Phillips. " For Patricia, Vive La France, Betty Lou Phillips" "French Influences" Mention the French and most minds overflow with symbols of their panache: sensuous velvets, leopard prints, toile, silk taffeta curtains, deep bullion trim, and eighteenth-century furnishings. The truth is, it is difficult not to fall under the influence of the French, whose uncommon grace is inherent in everything they do. Explore the captivating allure of French influences with the First Edition of "French Influences," a hardcover edition by Betty Lou Phillips and Emily Minton as the photographer. Published in 2001, this book takes you on a visual journey through the timeless elegance and artistic inspirations of French design. Following on the heels of Provencal Interiors: French Country Style in America and French by Design, in French Influences, Betty Lou Phillips delves into the world of design Francais once again, illustrating through lavish color photography how, room by room, French elegance remains the creme de la creme. From living rooms to kitchens, bedrooms, dining rooms, media rooms, gardens, and baths, French Influences reveals the means for creating French-style rooms in the home. Furniture, linens, floor coverings, window treatments, accessories, color palettes, lighting fixtures, and antiques inspired by their rich cultural heritage, including rock-crystal chandeliers, Aubusson rugs, exquisite tapestries, feather-filled armchairs, and painstakingly carved armoires are all part of this style. The resource guide makes it possible for anyone to locate these objets d'art and decorate a la Francaise, creating a gracious mingling of old-world charm and ease. Author of Provencal Interiors: French Country Style in America and French by Design, Betty Lou Phillips is a professional member of the American Society of Interior Designers. Her design work has appeared in such publications as Southern Accents, Bedroom, Bath & Wall, and Decorating, and has also graced many magazine covers. The enduring appeal of French-country style spans the centuries, a gracious mingling of elegance and ease. After years of largely echoing the furniture, fabrics, and accessories linked with the region of Provence, these days French country is often far removed from the primitive images that hearken back to the early seventeenth century. Room by room, the book reveals the secrets to creating a contemporary French-country look, including textiles, furniture, floor coverings, window treatments, color palettes, wall treatments and lighting, thus allowing anyone to bring the look home. Award-winning designer and best-selling author, Betty Lou Phillips is a professional member of the American Society of Interior Designers. With projects from New York to California, her work has been featured in countless magazines, as well as in her numerous home design books...Category
