5.0 out of 5 stars Great ideas, easy to follow instructions, lovely photographs, April 27, 1999

By A Customer

I loved this book! It had great ideas for a number of different types and constructions of books, but all of them are accompanied by excellent instructions, suggestions for variations, and photographs that further illustrate this craft. Great for beginners, or for those looking to expand their papercraft skills to bookmaking

5.0 out of 5 stars Inspiring!, May 21, 1999

By A Customer

Very inspiring. I made two books shortly after I received the book. Easy instructions and great illustrations. I teach art classes using rubber art stamps. I can't wait to utilize some of the new techniques I learned.

4.0 out of 5 stars Unique & Wonderful Examples, March 11, 1999

By A Customer

What makes this book special is the many unique and wonderful full-color examples, and the suggested variations for each. There are also several unusual book structures, as well as old favorites, to savor.
