A definitive book on paper.5
I was and am, absolutely blown over by this book. I had heard through various friends that it was good, well, they underestimated it- it is an excellent book, in MY opinion. Clear directions and LOTS of good ideas, also very well photographed. Some technical terms, but they are explained or described quite well.
I just received my copy yesterday, but as it was Christmas Eve and then today being Christmas Day I haven't had much chance to try out the things in the book. BUT, I sure have my eye on a number of projects that I can hardly wait to start. I have earmarked some of them with stickies, so when I have some free time in the next few days, I will attack this book with relish.
No wonder it went for a second printing...This is one of the best craft books that I have ever come across and I probably have hundreds(sigh).

Julie Andrus has done a stupendous job or simplifying and illustrating the many,many techniques that are covered by this wonderful publication.I have highly recommended this book to everyone I know.
