The quality of the photographs in this book is beyond horrible. They put badly scanned or poorly photographed low resolution pictures in the book to be scanned by the user to be made into ugly, fuzzy, blurry cards. I collect antique cards so I know what they are actually supposed to look like. Whoever wrote, edited, or photographed this book should be fired. There is no excuse for such sloppy work. In any case this book is awful!

I would give this book a minus 10.

Although I have not actually constructed the patterned cards inside the book, its beauty, material lists and ideas set my imagination on fire. I've been making my own Christmas cards for 25 years and this book gives me more ideas for this year! The Victorian themes are a little "busy" for my tastes, but the ideas and structural details make this a valuable tool to use as a jumping off point. The actual designs are pretty simplistic in comparison to other pop-up books, but if you love old cards, this is a treat. My thanks for sharing the cards and ideas!

Beautifully presented illustrations with well detailed instructions! I only wish that in some regards this book had actual cut-outs to use!
