This book has pros and cons.
Pros:
There are many many collages illustrated in this book.
The collages are made with a suprising variety of materials, many of which I had never seen, or never considered using in a collage. The combinations of varied elements give the collages rich texture.
The photos of the projects are high quality.
A few of the collages are beautiful.
The collages contain interesting use of overlapping.

Cons:
Most of the collages have the same kind of layout - casually arranged elements strewn at odd angles with lots of overlapping.
In most of the compositions, the intesting mix of textures doesn't quite compensate for lack of a strong center of interest.
