Structures & Forms - Making Handmade Books - 100+ Bindings

Review:Still have this book-I bought it after reading many reviews and recommendations. The book came in good condition, good descriptions, pictures, and directions. Good buy for anyone who wants to make handmade books first timer or experienced artist ?.

I recommend getting a nice sturdy storage box to save found materials to use for ideas in the book-clearance and garage sales too- It's add... Read more

A Nerdy Farm Wife's All-Natural DIY Projects Using Commonly Found Herbs

Review:Jan Berry's books are well planned, clearly written, thoughtful, and concise. This is not the first book of hers that I have purchased and each one is a gift. Each recipe is tried and true and always work. They are interesting and use ingredients that are readily available, or give more common suggestions if more exotic ingredients are listed. Generous book. Read more

Lincoln Cent 1909-1958 Collector's Folder (Warman's Collector Coin Folders)
Lincoln Cent 1909-1958 Collector's Folder (Warman's Collector Coin Folders)

Review:Disappointing. I thought this book would be like the Statehood Quarter book where you can view both sides. This book only has the round slot where you press the coin in & it can only be viewed from one side. I purchased this as a gift and found it to be on the cheap side. Read more

How to Create Stunning Wildlife Art Using Patterns and My Easy-to-Make

Learn Hand Lettering and Brush Lettering - Lettering and Modern Calligraphy

Review:This book is a fun way to learn about calligraphy, but it definitely leans towards “modern” handwriting. Perfect for learning how to write girly cards, canvases, etc. Pages of the book are a little thin. Read more

Everything You Need to Know to Live Off the Land - Country Wisdom & Know-How
Everything You Need to Know to Live Off the Land - Country Wisdom & Know-How

Review:Country Wisdom has a wealth of information on homesteading. I have plenty of homesteading books, including Carla Emery's encyclopedia. I still came away with many new ideas from reading this book, such as mounting nest boxes to the outside wall of the coop. The font is small, and you might want a pair of reading glass if you're going to study a few pages of it. Read more

Creating Physical and Emotional Health and Healing
Creating Physical and Emotional Health and Healing

Review:I watched a video presentation of this author to a live audience. I would never have ordered the book without 'getting to know' the author in this way first, but I am totally pleased with her book full of information and insights. Dr. Christiane Northrup is witty, honest and obviously understands the field of woman's health. The book is helping me get to know myself and the wonderful way God has created a woman's body. I would recommend the book as a 'gradual informational read'. Read more
