This book is one of our favourites - we have nearly 30 books on the subject ! There are plenty of photos of processes and enough information to get anyone with a creative bent well on their way. Photos of a range of artists' works give additional inspiration and a good glossary gives the beginner a sound grasp of papermaking terms. Definitely recommended as a book all aspiring papermakers and paper artists should have.

This book is great an an idea-starter, and as a reference for what is possible in paper making. It is NOT a good beginning text, and does not contain adequate instructions for a beginner to make that first sheet of paper. It also does not contain a source reference for suppliers, etc.

Wow. Seminal. Packed with inspiration, how-tos, details, instructions and great images. A must for every papermaking and papier maché library - pulp painting, pulp spraying, sculptural techniques with paper (and not of the scissors-exacto knife type). I heard that it's out of print. I am so grateful to at last have a copy after borrowing it over and over from my library. Not to be missed.

This wonderfully illustrated book examines the history of papermaking and also outlines step-by-step instructions for creating distinct handmade paper.

A wonderful resource book for any paper enthusiast!

One of the most interesting books I have ever seen.This is a very important book for all the people who makes handmade paper.In this book we can find since how to make a papyrus sheet, one of the most antique techniques of making paper, till paper sculpture, a very actual and sophisticated work.The explanation about the way to do is simple and detailed, and the photos are very clear, so we can compare the final results when we try to experiment what author proposes.

He tenido la oportunidad de revisar esta publicación, soy ingeniero especialista en celulosa y papel, consultor para proyectos de esta indole a nivel latinoamérica, sugiero que en una proxima publicación se expliquen los fundamentos fisicos, quimicos , de manera que el lector pueda establecer los parámetros de control a cada uno de los proyectos.
