Great book from Barnes and Noble. If you’re interested in selling your digital images to an online Microstock library I highly recommend this book. Douglas Freer makes thousands of dollars by selling his images thru the Microstock libraries on the web, who better to get advice from? He knows the ins and outs of what your digital images need to be accepted by the microstock libraries. He details how to improve your images and his secrets he uses to improve his images.  He gives you tips on arranging the lighting of your object to Photo shopping your images. There is a lot of detailed information but don’t let it scare you because it is written so well it is easy for a beginning photographer to comprehend. The book is very organized and doesn’t jump around in such a manner that the reader gets confused. If you’re serious about the microstock world and have a dSLR you definitely want to read this book. Why not make extra money from the pictures you take?

“Who Moved My Cheese” for kids by Spencer Johnson

I first read the adult version of “Who moved my cheese” by Spencer Johnson and found it exdtremely helpful and inspiring.  I went to Barnes & Noble online to find a copy of the book for my brother and found out they have a children’s version. This is a great story for children to learn how to make the most out of life’s constantly changing world in a simplistic easy to understand manner. The story is based around four mice Sniff, Scurry, Hem and Haw. They are searching for the “magical cheese” when they find it they think it will last forever…we, as adults know it won’t, children don’t grasp that concept yet. That is why this book is so important to read to your children.  The four mice now face a problem, they have eaten all the cheese and there is no cheese left…the four mice all handle this differently, as do many people. The book describes the four different ways the mice deal with their dilemma, as you read with your children they will be able to identify which mouse they are like. I found it easier to explain to my kid which is the best way to handle a situation or deal with change. It opens up a door for you to really help your children out in dealing with change and problems and what the best way to handle it would be or “which mouse takes the best course of action”. This is a must read with your child. There is also a Teen version out which I will definitely purchase in a couple years.
