The Girl in the Green Jumper : My Life with the Artist Cyril Mann by Renske MannWhen it comes to deciding the most tragic British artist of the 20th century, Cyril Mann (1911 80) must be a contender. Mann made a number of genuinely innovative breakthroughs and certainly had the potential to become one of the most important figurative painters of his time. Yet, struggling with mental health problems, Mann had an unerring instinct for turning each moment of promise into bitter disappointment. In 1959, Renske van Slooten fell in

When it comes to deciding the most tragic British artist of the 20th century, Cyril Mann (1911-80) must be a contender. Mann made a number of genuinely innovative breakthroughs and certainly had the potential to become one of the most important figurative painters of his time. Yet, struggling with mental health problems, Mann had an unerring instinct for turning each moment of promise into bitter disappointment.

In 1959, Renske van Slooten fell in love with Mann who was more than twice her age. Renske was convinced she discovered a genius and she promised to dedicate her life to him as muse, model and money earner. Their struggles quickly threatened to overwhelm them.

The Girl in a Green Jumper is not only an enthralling story set against the backdrop of 1960s London, but it also charts in detail the struggles an artist goes through, both creatively and financially. Renske also gives fascinating insights into the way that Cyril's painting technique evolved over time.

An Great Upgrade from the Previous Edition, but a bit yellow
Format: Hardcover, Format: Hardcover
The Zondervan Greek/Hebrew Reader's has been a classic for students of biblical languages, who desire a full biblical text (WLC for OT/Eclectic text (NIV) for NT) with the helps and assist of a Reader's edition. The first edition (black, bonded leather) has been a mainstay for a number of years. This new release (second edition) updates a few things from the previous edition. The second edition comes in a cloth-bound hardcover, which is an upgrade in my opinion from the previous editions bonded leather cover. The cover provides structure to the updated and improved binding. The fonts have been updated across the board, they are bolder and easier to read. This editions brings a lot of great updates and improvements on the first edition. Unfortunately, the glosses provided at the bottom of each page are organized in paragraph form, rather than in columns (UBS5), which makes it a bit difficult to find the footnote number and word you're searching for. Another big change is the paper color. The first edition had a bright white paper, the second edition is a deep creamy yellow paper. While I'm a fan of how readable this edition is (due to font changes), I feel the paper is way too yellow than it should be. (check pics see the difference). All in all, if you can deal with the yellow paper, this is a fantastic edition to have for reading in the biblical languages. **bible graciously provided by Zondervan for an honest review

Very nice
Format: Hardcover
They greatly improved the font (ie. a kappa looks like a kappa) and the yellowish pages are easier on the eyes. I really like it.

Not as good as the first edition overall
Format: Hardcover
The Greek part has used the third edition of the reader's Greek New Testament. But the font is not as dark and readable as the independent reader's Greek New Testament. Also, the words on the opposite page can be easily seen. The Hebrew part is the same as before in terms of content, but the fort is not as dark and readable as the previous editions. Also, the words on the opposite page can be easily seen. The pages are yellow and are not comfortable to read. It is thicker than the first edition, not portable as the first edition. I have been waiting for this new edition for a long time because of the poor font format used in the second edition of the reader's Greek New Testament. After I received it, however, I was very disappointed. You just do not enjoy reading it and using it. It is even not as good as the original edition. It is not worth 60 bucks. I do not suggest you buy it if you want to read it and use it often. If for reference only, 30 bucks may be a fair price.
