This book is a must for anyone into paper crafts. It is very well put together and demonstrates many paper crafting techniques including :

-Quilling
-Decoupage
-Lace
-Teabag Folding
-Iris Folding
-Embossing
-Pricking and Cutting
-Rubber Stamping
-Pop ups
-Weaving
-Stitching
-Punching

It gives a good idea of the equipment and supplies needed for the various techniques. Some of them require specific tools like quilling: needs special paper and lace requires special templates. Others can be done with basic supplies, like paper weaving and stitching.

It also has some beautiful galleries showing the different projects to which these techniques have been applied. While most of the projects are cards or gift tags, there are a couple of pages on scrapbooking. As well,
many of these techniques are vary versatile and can be used in almost any type of paper projects, including scrapbooking.

A good book for the beginning papercrafter. Clear directions and good photos. Good reference source for suppliers of papercrafting equipment. A wide range of papercrafting techniques is included. Many of the projects in this book require specialized tools and materials, though. I was a little disappointed with the patterns in the book. Patterns were too simplistic and there were not very many of them.
