A friend of mine lent me this book and I went right home and ordered it from Amazon. I am new to paper arts and I have a few other books with sections on decorating your own paper (marbling, paste papers, block printing, batik, etc., etc.) This is the only book, though, that gives enough guidance (including photographic images of all the tools needed and the steps involved) to give me the confidence to do the gorgeous techniques on my own. I can't wait to receive my own copy!

Wow - talk about the variety of art projects now available with paper - this book covers them all in moderate depth. I would not recommend this boot for a focus on paper making, but if you are an art teacher and paper is realatively cheap (depending on type and quality), this is a great book and the projects can be adapted to a classroom setting. I have to admit, it did give me ideas useful for for modifying my own handmade papers. I do wish more depth was given to the book on paper making and even on some of the paper art projects - but for the price, it is an excellend deal choice for the many aspects of paper and art. So expand your horizons with paper design projects and get this book!
