5.0 out of 5 stars the best ballooning book on the market, September 25, 2000

Tim Chase - See all my reviews

This review is from: Captain Visual's Big Book Of Balloon Art: A Complete Book of Balloonology for Beginners and Advanced Twisters (Paperback)

As a hobby balloonist, I have found this to be the best book on the market. Many other balloon art guides offer the basics, and one or two advanced creations. This book offers the most bang for your buck (or pop for your penny), providing not only the "how-to" for all flavours of folds, twists, seeds, and other techniques, but non-traditional models--motorcycles, mermaids, lobsters, moose, bicycles...the list goes on. From beginner to expert, this book will please all but the most advanced balloonist, and maybe even teach the advanced balloonist a thing or two.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply the Best, November 5, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Captain Visual's Big Book Of Balloon Art: A Complete Book of Balloonology for Beginners and Advanced Twisters (Paperback)

As a working professional balloon twister I have had to read a multitude of books on the subject of balloon artistry as part of by business. This book is simply the best I have ever read on the subject . The matter of how to run a balloon business is not covered in detail, which is something of a bonus, as you get more models, ideas and inspiration for your money than in many other books. THE BEST BALOON BOOK I HAVE EVER READ!
