Sharing Your Story: Recording Life's Moments in Mini Albums 3 reviews
Ali Edwards
CK Media, 2008
Mini Albums...love them!
Ali Edwards is one of the people I really admire in the scrapbooking world. Love her style and pretty much everything she does...so her new book was a must have for me. I will admit that when I first thumbed through the book...I was disappointed that it was not all of Ali's work. There was lots of work from others...what? I thought it would be all Ali! But to my surprise, the combo between Ali's ...

The Greatest Album Covers of All Time 7 reviews
Grant Scott, Barry Miles, ...
Collins & Brown, 2008
For Fun or the Music Enthusiast
I received this book for the holidays and wound up reading it cover to cover in 3 hours. The book does a great job of explaining the evolution of the album cover. It also gives great background into what the artist's was trying to portray with the cover. The book covers all genres, as well as, explains covers that were giving social commentary to covers that are just plain silly. Great purchase ...

Encyclopedia Of Scrapbooking (Creating Keepsakes) 30 reviews
Leisure Arts, 2005
Great book - especially for beginners
Just started scrapbooking and it was very confusing to try and decide what I needed and how you go about it. This book explains in detail and gives great ideas and examples. Each sample scrapbook page tells exactly what was used to create the page and has given me lots of ideas!

iPhoto '08: The Missing Manual15 reviews

Pogue Press, 2008
Saving Me Time and Making Lightroom a Joy
This book has saved me a ton of time and answered a lot of my questions about iPhoto and I am only about a third of the way through the book so far. It is a real joy. Questions that Apple staff in the local Apple store were unable to answer to my satisfaction are amply covered in this book. While the first section on fundamentals of digital photography is more basic than I need, still I got some ...

Reckless Road: Guns N' Roses and the Making of Appetite for Destruction 23 reviews
Canter, Marc
Shoot Hip Press, 2007
Every picture tells its story
If you are looking for the picture story of Gn'R (before appetite), this is the one. We should bow at Canter's work. He really did it, when he even didn't know what it was going to become. Marc, you're the man.

Excellent book of ideas!

I'm a die hard scrapbooker and have been for several years and I really ...

School Memory Album by Karen F Goldfuss
We didn't know what School Memory album was until my wife's cousin in Canada mentioned to her. I purchased 4 albums for our grand niece in Sasktchewan, Canada. When we received it was a pleasant surpise. The album was well organized with space for class photos, events, other important activities. After seeing the album, we ordered 2 more for our 5 and 2 year grandsons.I hope they will share thier ...

Jennifer Chiaverini
Simon & Schuster, 2006
More Great Quilting Adventures with the Elm Creek Quilters!
You don't have to be a quilter to enjoy the three stories combined in this volume. Novels 4, 5, and 6 in the Elm Creek Quilters series by Jennifer Chiaverini do not disappoint. If you enjoyed the first 3 novels in the series, you will enjoy continuing the saga in these next 3. I especially enjoyed the first story in this volume ("The Runaway Quilt"). Historical fiction lovers will especially ...

My copy is worn!
I love this book! I have used it over and over for my scrapbooks, for the "blank" greeting cards I purchase, for notes to my children, and bulletin board topics for my classroom! I especially love the friendship and volunteer quotes. A wonderful, organized and varied arrangement of inspiration!

I AM CREOLE AND I LOVE TO COOK. I NORMALLY DON'T USE COOKBOOKS, BUT ONE DAY I WAS AT MY SISTERS HOUSE AND I STARTED READING THIS BOOK.

Statehood Quarter Album (Official Whitman Coin Folder) (Official Whitman Coin Folder)19 reviews
Whitman Publishing
Golden Books, 1999
Very good looking (and holding) album
The album looks good and holds the coins tight. I like they have various albums for various coins in the same format that looks good on your personal library or display. Also, the deep sea-blue (may be just a little too dark) provides nice contrast with the shiny coins.
I like they provided more transparent sleeves than necessary, so if you remove or scratch them, you have replacement.
You ...

True Vision: Authentic Art Journaling11 reviews
L.K. Ludwig
Quarry Books, 2008
Sharpen your art-journaling tools and get crackin'
Maybe it's because my copy is from the second printing, but I didn't find the glaring editing mistakes another reviewer was appalled to find. I noticed a typo or two but that was the extent.
True Vision packs a hefty punch. It will appeal to a mixed audience. There are basic and innovative prompts (on every other page) geared to those just discovering the world of art journaling, or making a ...

The Art of the Snowflake: A Photographic Album8 reviews
Kenneth Libbrecht
Voyageur Press, 2007
High quality novelty, thought-provoking
Since several other reviewers have described this book, and the topic is self-evident, I want to emphasize what a high QUALITY book this is. As a coffee-table size hardback, many of which today are so cheaply made, this one is MADE really well, a pleasure for that alone. Good quality binding and excellent color reproductions. And who would have thought such a simple subject could remain ...

Two for one
As a lover of quilts and the stories which enhance my knowledge of patterns along with entertaining me, I've yet to be disappointed by Emilie Richards.
Touching Stars is not her latest effort but it is the one most recently read by me. The main plot is enhanced by the story within the story woven in as evening entertainment for young people trying their hands at an "archeological dig". Both ...

Wedding Ring (Shenandoah Album)21 reviews
Emilie Richards
Mira, 2005
Not Just A Book About Quilts or Quilting
One of the best light readings since Shell Seekers. A story of three generations of women that can be identified by women of many age levels. It gives the reader an in-depth look into each of the character's lives and personalities. Personal events make up their histories and this is told well by the author. A book the reader doesn't want to put down.
