Reviews
"Twyla Tharp's amazingly plain-spoken treatise...is a frank, honest, and tough-love testament essentially arguing that art and creativity are matters of hard, old-fashioned work." -- Sid Smith, The Chicago Tribune, " The Creative Habit emphasizes the work habits that lead to success." -- C. Carr, O: The Oprah Magazine, "An entertaining 'how to' guide, The Creative Habit isn't about getting the lightning bolt of inspiration, but rather the artistic necessity of old-fashioned virtues such as discipline, preparation and routine." -- Cathleen McGuigan, Newsweek, "[An] exuberant, philosophically ambitious self-help book for the creatively challenged." -- The New York Times Book Review, "Though its context is a choreographer's world, its principles are universally applicable and sound....It could change your life." -- Elizabeth Zimmer, The Village Voice, "The Creative Habit emphasizes the work habits that lead to success." -- C. Carr, O: The Oprah Magazine

It arrived well packaged and was as described (used - acceptable). Importantly, it was indeed the book I ordered! In my opinion, it was actually in better condition then described. All pages were intact, no problems with the binding or spine and the hardcover was in good shape. The price was much better than used book stores for the same book. Overall I highly recommend Ickabod-Books as a seller!Fossil Collecting in the Mid-Atlantic States: With Localities, Collecting Ti... (#335873202550)
