4.0 out of 5 stars
lots covered here
This is a big book that covers alot of ground, sometimes too quickly and not in depth enough for what I was looking for.

2.0 out of 5 stars
Coffee Table Book
Two stars might be a little harsh, but I barely flipped past the first few crafts mentioned. I was hoping for a bit more detail... it's really just too short. "Coffee table book" is really the best way to describe it; blurbs and lots of pictures. Nothing that you couldn't learn via Wikipedia... Actually, you would definitely learn MORE from Wikipedia.

Not what I expected,

This review is from: Lost Crafts (Hardcover)
While the title and table of contents were interesting, the chapters barely covered the many crafts. I was expecting a more "How to" than just explaining the craft and it's history. I have found more information for the topics on the internet or in a public library.
I recently purchased a book on crafts from a thift store for a dollar that was way more detailed than this.

A bullet list of lost crafts would have been only slightly less informative. Nice photos.
