I look at a lot of art books, so I was familiar with the kinds of projects in t his book. What really impressed me was the quality of the workmanship. She made simple boxes simply beautiful. I also found the information on the differences between paste and glue, and the instructions about how to cut out and assemble the boxes spectacular. The first section on basic techniques is information I'll come back to again and again for different projects.
