highly user-friendly Sharpie marker. Many readers will be surprised
to learn that there are dozens of types of Sharpie available today,
which Goodman (design, Sch. of Visual Arts; coauthor, 40 Days of
Dating) delineates in the introduction. A clever history of the
marker, rendered in Sharpie, introduces the guide included in the
introduction. The heart of the guide is the many short creativity
exercises that are meant to inspire readers to try new things and
surprise themselves. Various artists share their own Sharpie
experiments, with lots of tips and intriguing ideas thrown in along
the way. These permanent markers can be used on almost anything,
giving the reader the sense of open-ended possibility and
immediacy. VERDICT This title holds wide appeal for young, mature,
