Plenty of books have hit the market covering all aspects of scrapbooking, the new popular hobby of building a family memory book - but Susan Pickering Rothamel's Encyclopedia Of Scrapbooking Tools & Techniques is about the only reference you really need if you're an avid scrapbook maker. All tools and techniques are described here, from acid migration and its problems to handling bubbling and edging problems with decoupage, understanding how journaling works, and handling photos and paper. A 'must' for any actively involved in producing different scrapbooks.

Someday I want to get my photos out of the shoebox, off the computer and into a book I can enjoy in the comfort of my favorite chair! Not knowing anything about scrapbooking as soon as I saw this book I knew it was a must have! Someday getting here will have to wait a little longer tho. As I went through the book, ideas for cardmaking,(my main addiction) were almost overwhelming! The tips, techniques and ideas in this book can easily be used for making cards and other crafting projects! The information in and inspiration that comes from this book is priceless!

This long anticipated book doesn't disappoint! Beautiful photographs of layouts throughout. Lots of tips and techniques. Every scrapbooker should have this book! There is something for everyone, from the beginning scrapper to the experienced scrapper. A must have!

Can't say enough good things about this book! I ended up buying it for two friends who are avid scrapbookers and they LOVED it as well! There are SO MANY ideas - things we never thought of - and we all refer to again and again for more inspiration and direction! We occasionally take out the other books we have, but this is the one that is the most dogeared! Being the least experienced of the 3 of us, I found it especially helpful that it was easy to read and find information - I appreciated the layout very much. This book brought me up to speed with my more experienced friends!

This book is a must-have for any scrapbooker or cardmaker. I got so many ideas on how to use existing tools that I have.

I will recommend this book to all first time scrapbookers this will help you greatly in being able to produce and create beautiful things. I am proud at what i have learnt

Great book! Every little trick I needed to know to be a successful scrapbooker. I have since discovered even more tools and techniques but I will always need this book for a reference. And the price was unbeatable, too.

Whether you scrapbook, make cards, or do any type of art, this book provides endless techniques and eye candy to tantalize you. Every time I pick it up, there are still techniques I haven't tried yet!!! If you only buy one book, THIS ONE IS IT!!!!

This would be a good book for beginners. It's a little dated & once you've seen one book like this, you've pretty much seen them all!

I would recommend Encyclopedia of Scrapbooking by Creating Keepsakes... It's got more updated techniques & lots of them!

This book gives you ideas, but it's outdated. They need to update the techniques and materials
