5.0 out of 5 stars A complete book on miniatures - quality product
The book is full of all sorts of ideas, though it was small on "found" objects for furniture making. As I am new to miniatures, this book had all sorts of ideas for the novice to the master craftsman. Of course the book hawks back to the 70's and the color of pictures reflect this...the ideas were still innovative and creative. Great detail to every aspect of...

3.0 out of 5 stars Old book with old ideas. Okay.
This is an old book with old ideas. It's okay as far as old miniature books go, but there are lots of better books out there to look at: mini books by Helen Ruthberg come to mind for one; newer and old books by Jean Nesbitt for another.
There are lots of ideas and black and white photos to inspire, but none that you haven't seen anywhere else. Compared with other...

This review is from: The Complete Book of Making Miniatures (Paperback)
The book is full of all sorts of ideas, though it was small on "found" objects for furniture making. As I am new to miniatures, this book had all sorts of ideas for the novice to the master craftsman. Of course the book hawks back to the 70's and the color of pictures reflect this...the ideas were still innovative and creative. Great detail to every aspect of the dollhouse, including lighting, room arrangements and period pieces. I look forward to making the beautiful furniture featured in this "old school" book.

3.0 out of 5 stars Old book with old ideas. Okay., March 17, 2011
This review is from: The Complete Book of Making Miniatures (Paperback)
This is an old book with old ideas. It's okay as far as old miniature books go, but there are lots of better books out there to look at: mini books by Helen Ruthberg come to mind for one; newer and old books by Jean Nesbitt for another.
There are lots of ideas and black and white photos to inspire, but none that you haven't seen anywhere else. Compared with other books on miniatures out there, this one comes in at last. There's nothing new in it. If you want to see it, check it out of the library and then decided for yourself.
