[.ca] 300 Papermaking Recipes (ISBN 156477533X)

Paper for beginners:
I recently purchased this book, and had considered (sorry Amazon) sending it back, since it wasn't at all what I'd been looking for. However, after Reading it through, and enjoying the Beautiful Illustrations I decided to keep it. As a practical guide, it is definately well suited for the person wanting to try their hand at paper making, and having no previous experiance at all. It is not a good guide for the intermediate paper maker, or for those looking for detailed information regarding the construction of paper making equipment, or the use of more advanced techniques. A good guide for beginning hobbyists...and a lovely, addition to the bookshelf.

Highly recommended for do-it-yourself papermaking!:
Learn to make handmade papers with this survey of papermaking recipes for producing a variety of textures and colors. Two papermaking artists provide all the ingredients for success and tell how to garnish paper with threads, string, leaves and other accents.

Great source for the first-time papermaker!:
This is a wonderful reference book for the first time papermaker! The techniques are simple and the resource directory is helpful in finding those hard-to-get supplies. Though at first the whole process might seem alittle overwhelming, if you follow the recipes, you will always come out with a georgous paper. I highly recommend this book to the beginner and those who have been at it for awhile.
