This review is from: Papier Mache Style: One Hundred Step-By-Step Designs for Bowls, Jewelry, Toys, Vases, Mirrors and Other Creations (Hardcover)
This is one of the two or three how-to books focused on papier mache that I use as a real tool. Two reasons: first, it has an in-depth section on the basics of the medium, including a list of all the materials and equipment you might use. (I was surprised by how many ways papier mache can be used for totally different results, both arts/crafts and fine art.) Second, the remainder of the book provides many, many different projects with a list of the materials/equipment you will need and then the step by step process in creating the item. All with clear and beautiful color photographs. I first used the book for the how-to information since I have enough "projects" of my own. Now, I return to it for inspiration as well. Mine is a sturdy hardback book.
