Get The Picture

In Cork Dork, Bianca Bosker trained her insatiable curiosity, journalist's knack for infiltrating exclusive circles and eye for unforgettable characters on the wine world as she trained to become a sommelier. Now she brings her whip-smart yet accessible sensibility along for a ride through another subculture of elite obsessives.

In Get the Picture, Bosker plunges deep inside the world of art and the people who live for it: gallerists, collectors, curators and, of course, artists themselves - the kind who work multiple jobs and let their paintings sleep soundly in the studio while they wake up covered in cat pee on a friend's couch. As she stretches canvases until her fingers blister, talks her way into A-list parties full of billionaire collectors, has her face sat on by a nearly naked performance artist and forces herself to stare at a single sculpture for an hour straight while working as a museum security guard, she discovers not only the inner workings of the art-canonization machine but also a more expansive way of living.

Encompassing everything from colour theory to evolutionary biology, and from ancient cave paintings to Instagram as it attempts to discern art's role in our culture, our economy and our hearts, Get the Picture is a rollicking adventure that will change the way you see forever.

Well Padded, good zipper compartments
Size: 14 Inch, Style: 1-pack
This is a really basic case but it fits and looks amazingly great. This one fit my 15" laptop without any issues. The padded interior provides a bit of protection. The zipper side pockets are perfect. I use this to visit different campuses and holds just enough for field work. The price is right and compared to the name bags, this is a great bargain for a quality case.

Great no-frills bag. Slim and compact, but still holds plenty.
Size: 17.3 Inch, Style: 1-pack
I needed a case for my new HP Pavilion 17" laptop. I didn't need anything fancy or with all kinds of special features. I didn't need one with a lot of extra storage space beyond what was required for the laptop, its power adapter and cord, and a small mouse. And above all I didn't want one with a large, bulky profile, one that would feel like I was carrying--or rolling--a small suitcase. Turns out this AmazonBasics bag was just what I was looking for. It is indeed slim and compact, and it's lightweight to boot (only weighing about 1 lb.). And even when it's filled to the brim and weighs a good bit more, it STILL looks slim and compact. For its economical price point, it is constructed very well, and thus should be quite durable for light to moderate use. The stitching is very tight and clean, with even strong, "zipper-stay" stitching being included on this inexpensive bag. The zippers themselves (which I tend to be picky about) are of very good quality, and open and close without much effort. The zipper pulls are ample in size and weight, and are very strong and sturdy. In other words, they're NOT cheap. I appreciate the case's simple yet thoughtful design. I especially like the single, large, zippered pocket on the front "face" of the bag, where you can easily and conveniently keep oft-used items such as your phone, keys, power bank, and so forth. Too many laptop bags' outside pockets are unzippered, which I find both impractical and unsafe. The AmazonBasics bag holds my laptop snugly and securely, yet I can still manage to squeeze in extra padding (about 3/8" thick and 1.5" wide) all around its perimeter. I do this because the case provides only the most minimal of padding throughout. (Mind you, I wouldn't have expected sufficiently thick padding on a bargain bag such as this one, but it's worth bringing attention to nonetheless.) The upshot here is that, as well constructed as this case is, it's not designed to protect our laptops from accidental drops onto hard surfaces. There simply isn't enough shock-absorbing padding. But frankly I'm not that worried about accidental drops. Rather, for my most pressing general needs--storing or transporting my laptop and keeping it free from dust, scratches, dents and the like--this AmazonBasics bag really fits the bill. It's easy to carry, and it's easy (and quick) to access your laptop. I'm VERY happy with it, would buy another one without hesitation, and I highly recommend it! Finally, my goal as a reviewer is always to try and help others make better informed decisions about potential Amazon products they may be considering. Toward that end, I hope in some small way that you may have found this helpful. Thanks for reading my review. Best of luck with your shopping!

Love this bag.
Size: 15.6 Inch, Style: 1-pack
I love this bag. It was affordable, and it has plenty of compartments to store my cords and portable drives. It is fun to be able to get work done at coffee shops and theme parks etc...

For 12.4 tablet with hard case on
Size: 14 Inch, Style: 1-pack
I got this black carrying case for my tablet and it fits well inside and you have room still if you want to carry like cables or some documents and stuff. Now only thing I wish that it was better was inside padding but for the price it is still decent as I have a case on my tablet and hard one for the matter so I just needed carry bag to carry around and it would be fine for me for anyone else think it thru as padding is not very protective inside but other then that nice quality bag and feels sturdy
