As a seminary student in the midst of a master's thesis, 'The Craft' is a joy. It is helpful, and both easy to navigate and understand.

Incredible
This book has given me so much inspiration! Not only are the ideas in the book great, but they make you think outside the box and come up with ideas of your own. I'm not usually very good at the craft scene but this book makes it easy to make something look cool. GET IT!

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 ...

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 ...

Excellent resource
Although there are many books on writing research or term papers, I have not found anything else which brings together material on planning, reasoning and writing the research paper as well as this book. Ignore any reviewers who make this book out to be a simplistic text. It is an excellent work on well reasoned writing that even most graduate students can benefit greatly from reading. As a ...

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 ...

Excellent book for journalists
This book shows the nuts and bolts about good journalism: writing and interviewing techniques, how to get good story ideas, etc. It has a great deal of examples too. Every journalist should read it at least once. The best thing would be to revisit it every two or three years.

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 ...

Thinking Through Craft

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 ...

For 3 and 4 years old, too.
Exactly what the editorial review and all the reviewers said, bottom line: this book is absolutely amazing. I get most of my material from dollar store or everyday home item. Pictures are vivid and clear even my kids understand what is going on (3 and 4 years old). I'm a very neat, tidy person and these ideas are not messy at all. My kids can do most of these activities

In the midst of a major DIY and craft movement, this book is just the ticket for anyone who has ever thought, "Hey...I could do that." As an graduate from a fine arts college, I left school feeling overwhelmed about how to make it on my own. Taxes, laws, startup, recordkeeping -- ...

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 ...
