His extensive portfolio includes such diverse artists as Heart, the Ramones, Cheap Trick, Blondie, Twisted Sister, Van Halen and the Rolling Stones. Although Chip has photographed dozens of artists, only one band has remained his absolute favorite since he first witnessed their incredible performance at New York's Beacon Theater in 1975. That band is KISS. Enthralled with KISS' unique theatrics and stage makeup, Chip's photographs reveal his strong passion for the band. KISS was so impressed with Chip's imagery they selected him to shoot the cover of their first tour program. Over the years Chip's photos have appeared in KISS albums, videos and their mammoth self-published book, KISSTORY. Read and see how one KISS concert led Chip Rock Dayton to become a favorite KISS photographer. This book contains over 200 black-and-white and color photos.

Review The Letters of Samuel Wesley: Professional and Social Correspondence, 1797-1837 / Oxford University Press, USA:Samuel Wesley (1766-1837) was the son of the hymn-writer Charles Wesley and the nephew of John Wesley, the founder of Methodism. He was one of the leading composers in late eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century England, and the finest organist of his day. He was also a misfit and a rebel, renowned for his outspoken views, his frequently wild behavior, and his irregular personal life. His music has become increasingly well known in recent years, and these letters to his friends and fellow musicians, over 400 of which are gathered together here for the first time, present both a witty, perceptive, and unparalleled portrait of Wesley the man, and an insiders view of life in the music profession in London in the early nineteenth-century.

Review The New Sabin / Whitston Pub Co Inc:In 1886, Joseph Sabin began work on the "Biblioteca Americana, The Dictionary of Books Relating to America," which has been for years the most complete guide to literature and research materials about American culture. Unfortunatly, in the 19th-century travel was difficult, photo-copying unavailable, and descriptive cataloging unhelpful. As a result, Sabin and his successors were unable to examine or, in some cases, learn much about the materials that they describe. Furthermore, there is no subject or title index, nor is there an index of joint authors in the origional work. Thompson has added these indexes, as well as materials that Sabin overlooked, including Mexicana and Canadiana, or of which he was unaware. In addition, he has updated each entry using the descriptive portion of its Library of Congress card.

Review The Correspondence of Dante Gabriel Rossetti, Vol. 4: The Chelsea Years, 1863-1872: Prelude to Crisis II, 1868-1870 / D.S.Brewer:Following the death of Elizabeth Siddal in 1862 and his settling in Chelsea, Rossetti entered on a period of his life - charted in volume 3 - that was marked by renewed activity as a painter and increased financial prosperity. The years 1868-1870 covered by volume 4 culminate in his return to writing poetry and the publication in June 1870 of his long-anticipated and widely-read Poems. However, despite the satisfaction that he could take from his standing as a painter and from the fact that he was about to establish himself as a poet, 1868-1870 were troubled years for Rossetti. Problems with his eyesight led him to give up painting for long periods, and to fear that, like his father before him, he would end his days blind. He consulted Sir William Bowman and other leading ophthalmologists, who eased his mind sufficiently for him to return to his easel. This was also the time when he declared his love for Jane Morris, the wife of his long-time friend and admirer William Morris. In his long, moving letters to Janey we come face to face with the satisfactions and frustrations of their relationship. The letters to Janey provide a context for understanding the many paintings and drawings from this period for which she was the model, and for gauging the biographical origins of the sonnets, written at this time for the sequence, The House of Life, an early version of which was included in Poems. Probably the most rewarding letters in the volume concern the preparation of Poems. The letters deal at length with Rossetti's decision to have his poems typeset for distribution to friends, the exhumation of Elizabeth Siddal's coffin to recover the manuscript of his poems, his obsessive care over the physical appearance of the volume, especially the binding , and his efforts at "working the oracle," William Bell Scott's description of his methodically lining up sympathetic reviewers. [+]As with all of Rossetti's correspondence, the letters in volume 4 are replete with pointed and sometimes humorous commentary on an array of people and events, ranging from Edward Burne-Jones's affair with "the Greek damzel," Mary Zambaco, and Frederick Sandys's appropriation of subjects from his pictures, to his unease over Swinburne's uncontrollable drunkenness, and his ominous hatred of Robert Buchanan, the author of the "Fleshly School" attack on his poetry in the Contemporary Review of October 1871, which became a major cause of the disastrous events of the years 1871-1872.
