3.0 out of 5 stars Does not cover pressed flower drying, December 30, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Flower Drying with a Microwave: Techniques and Projects (Paperback)

Some readers may find it helpful to know that this book covers only silica-type drying methods where the flowers are retained intact and dimensional, it does NOT cover pressed flower drying at all.

A good technical read...explains in depth how a microwave works in general and then how specifically it works with flowers. A must for anyone practicing the art.
