I received the Little Book of Book Making. I have to say I
was looking forward to this book but I was somewhat disappointed. I thought
that it was going to be a book full of great instructions and ideas. I love to
scrapbook and thought that I could get ideas for mini albums.
First, the book is about 6x6 it is beautifully illustrated
and about 181 pages. The first 3/4’s of the book is very nice pictures and descriptions
of various artists’ books. The last ¼ of
the book gives instructions on how to make some of the books that are
illustrated. The instructions are step by step and have pictures to go along
with the steps.
I’m not sure I would pay the $23.00 price for this book. I
was disappointed that there weren’t more instructions and ideas. Although the
artists’ books are beautiful and I suppose gives the reader a good idea what
can be done with the created books I don’t think the price constitutes the
instructions for 6 books and a few stitching and paper techniques.
