3.0 out of 5 stars Cost out-weighs content, July 13, 2007

By	Edith L. Banning "Spirited Lady" (Delaware, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I all honesty, if I had gone to the store to see this before ordering it, I wouldn't have purchased it. As noted by the other reviewer, the projects are classic, and the projects (what there is of new ideas) are well done and the photos are good. However, there are other books with more samples and more variety at the same or a better price for the content. I would have returned it but it would have cost just about as much after paying the shipping costs both ways so I just kept it.
