4.0 out of 5 stars Great for the beginner, but very short and overpriced, March 3, 2008

This review is from: Making Creative Mobiles (Paperback)

If you haven't created mobiles before and are interested in where to start then you'll probably find this book interesting; it will help teach you the first steps in mobile creation and stimulate your thinking about mobiles.
But I do feel the book is lacking, particularly in that the information seems relevant only to beginners, but also that the book is so short, and for the price this is a big disappointment. Amazon product information shows it as 80 pages but if you subtract the front pages and table of contents it has 73 pages, and of those 13 are blank pages for sketching your own mobile ideas. $18.95 for a 60 page book in black and white with no photos (only sketches) seems a bit expensive to me.
Still, there aren't that many good books on creating mobiles so you may want to splurge on this one.

if you can force yourself to hang (ha!) in there. The poor quality of the book itself is almost offensive - I haven't seen that kind of paper since the pages of coloring books. And he can't draw worth beans. There is nothing visually appealing about this book, which is ironic considering the topic. But read on and you'll find some gems hidden within. It might be worth 5 stars - I don't know. I can't get past the awful presentation (the profit margin on this book must be terrific).

I recommend Bruce Cana Fox's book "Making Mobiles" instead. It is more expensive, but the clear color pictures and concise text make a mobile easier to do.
