I couldn't rate the projects because many of the materials we're simple unavailable to me, whether this is dated or just international, I'm not sure. The pictures of the projects were very nice.

Pretty to look at, but not much more than that. The only thing I use this book for is visual idea triggers, to maybe jump start my brain! Instructions are vague and it isn't about "Making journals", as the title implies, but more about filling journals.
In a word, this book is boring.

Excellent galleries of artbooks.
Some of the "projects" are better than others, but there are definitely some gems of information here.
I would buy this book if I found it offered from a reliable seller.

I dip into this delightful book every couple of years or so, especially when I'm planning my next big trip and looking for inspiration. Love everything about this book.
