5.0 out of 5 stars Same book, same author - different cover, March 23, 2002

This review is from: Pergamano Parchment Craft (Step-By-Step Crafts) (Paperback)

Are you aware that this book entitled 'Pergamano Parchment Craft' - Step by Step Crafts by Martha Ospina - ISBN 1 85974 877 5 has exactly the same contents as a similarly entitled book which has a different cover and a different ISBN number - 1 58923 020 5.

I have ended up with two books with different covers, different ISBN numbers but with exactly the same contents by the same author.

Both books issued in 2001.

This cannot be right.

I feel conned.

1.0 out of 5 stars Agreeing fully with the comments from the reviewer b4 me, August 22, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Pergamano Parchment Craft (Step-By-Step Crafts) (Paperback)

I totally agree that we can feel conned this way. I bought another book also with a different cover and ISBN but the contents are the SAME! This is unacceptable. We who buy from the web will never have the chance to look at the contents before buying and we rely heavily on the cover and descriptions!

5.0 out of 5 stars Pergamano Parchment Craft by Martha Ospina, August 2, 2005

This review is from: Pergamano Parchment Craft (Step-By-Step Crafts) (Paperback)

This book has a lot of step-by-step instr. that was very helpful to a novice. It goes into how to trace, the use of the colors, clipping(snipping), tools and paper.
I would consider it along with Carla Larter's: Parchment Craft to be a COMPLETE and THOROUGH help and class in this field.
I am glad reading the reviews before me - save me from bying the same book with just different covers. I bought them both used, and they were new! Sincerely Linda
