Good Encyclopedia5
This is an encyclopedia, not an in-depth review of the techniques included. I thought it was excellent at providing a high-level look at very many techniques, many of which I had not seen since I'm still fairly new to card making. The examples were prepared by talented artists with enough detail about the examples that the reader could take it on. I flagged several projects I want to try and was pleased to see that at the end of the book was a list of other books providing more detail about the techniques covered here.
