Great Craft Book!
I'm very new to crafting, and this book is perfect for me! Plus I'm giving it as a gift to friends of mine that are also interested in crafting. Smart fun projects, with lots of instructions. I have gotten so many ideas from this book. They are so flexible I can put my own style into every project. Yes there is an example of how to make an art project from beans. I would never use beans, but ...

The only cookie decorating book you need!
I don't write reviews too often, but this book definitely moved me to write one. I have some time off after moving and wanted to teach myself a new skill, and my family loves sweets, so... cake/cookie decorating it is! Comparing to icing cakes, cookies are a breeze (at least to this novice.) The designs in this book are cute without being too twee, and are relatively easy to do. I made the ...

University Of Chicago Press, 2008

The best guide to research and writing on the market today
I read this book about a month before I submitted my dissertation (in U.S. history) and it convinced me to completely rewrite my introduction. That experience left me kicking myself for thinking I was too advanced for these sorts of guides and for not consulting this book earlier. The sections on formulating a topic (how to turn a general interest into a question/problem to be researched) and ...

Stenhouse Publishers, 2001

A Great Way to Think about Nonfiction Writing in Classrooms
This book is a wonderful tool for writing teachers. Portalupi and Fletcher are very thoughtful in the way that the book is organized so that teachers can share with students lessons dealing with the craft of nonfiction. Since so many writing books deal primarily with narrative writing, this is one of the first I've seen to deal specifically with nonfiction and its craft. This book will change ...

Model Mini-lessons for the writing workshop
I'm a relatively new teacher, and have switched grade levels every year. Teaching writing has been one of the biggest challenges for me. I believe in a writing workshop model, and use a lot of 6 Traits ideas. I knew that both relied on the idea of the writing "mini-lesson" but I really didn't know what those should look like or what kinds of topics they should cover. This book has been a ...

Great book!
I love this book! I have many general craft books but this one is my favorite primarily because it is much more organized. The beginning of the book has a list of different craft supplies and various book pages in which those supplies are used. Instead of having to flip through a book and hunt down crafts that use buttons, I can just look at the contents and see pages 30-33 use them. The ...

Thinking Through Craft
Glenn Adamson

Berg Publishers, 2007

Co-published in Association with the Victoria and Albert Museum, London This book is a timely and engaging introduction to the way that artists working in all media think about craft. Workmanship is key to today?s visual arts, when high ?production values? are becoming increasingly commonplace. Yet craft?s centrality to contemporary art has received little serious attention from critics and historians. Dispensing with clichéd arguments that ...

Just Plain Fun!
This book is great fun, whether you work with metal or not! It's nicely photographed and well written, and the projects are all fun(ky). Very enjoyable experience. I especially loved learning how to patina metals with potato chips... something I would like to try if only I could keep my kids out of the bowl!

Better than spy fiction
Allen Dulles said that "(i)n our time, the United States is being challenged by a hostile group of nations that profess a philosophy of life and government inimical to our own" and "(t)oday's intelligence service also finds itself in the situation of having to maintain constant watch in every part of the world, no matter what may at the moment be occupying the main attention of diplomats and ...

Laurie Carlson

Williamson Publishing Company, 1990

More than a kids' "busybook"
The craft instructions in this book are indeed easy, fun, cheap to do (etc) for kids. But the best part was the discussion in the back of the book on appropriate levels of creative projects for kids of different ages. It clearly outlined what attention span and dexterity level you should expect from kids of different ages. And it had useful advice for adults on how to make the project fun for ...

For the Cocktail Gourmet
If you are into the art of coctails, and want a book that uses no premade mixers, this is the book for you. This book is very informative. Way more than a recipe book, as I read I aspired to be a gourmet bartender. This book makes mixing drinks an art.
