2 comments about Chip Carving Patterns.

1. Some of what is in this book is also in the first book.Technically this book could stand on its own and that's why the repitition. However, this book is more pattern oriented than the first book. It has two more typefaces that can be photocopied and used for lettering projects and more patterns that are somewhat more advanced than the first book. The biggest help for a beginning chip carver is to acquirle a collection of patterns and typefaces to use for any carving projects. This could be used as a starting point for anyone interested in chip carving, but the rosettes and the lettering patterns in the first book are invaluable as well.



2. Book is great for borders and traditional patterns and gives some basic tips, but does not give details on how to achieve the effects shown.

3 comments about Creative Paper Folding.

1. The book arrived promptly. However, some of the signatures were falling out which I had not expected.



2. This book is so great I keep hoping they will come out with a sequal. Here's why:
   1. The directions are extremely well written which makes even the more difficult projects relatively easy.
   2. The projects are innovative and creative -- not your typical origami book.
   3. Many of the projects are good for gifts -- especially the light catchers made of translucent vellum paper and the christmas ornaments.

   Overall, this book gets two thumbs up.




3. Fun and easy projects for young and old. Wonderful 'handmade' card ideas I'm anxious to use during the coming years.

5 comments about Roseville In All Its Splendor.

1. As author of the book, I thank everyone for their kind response. I am sorry that some of the pictures are not real clear but you must remember that these company plates were salesman sample pages some from the late 1900's. The newest pictures are from 1954. Since the book has been selling for six years now and has sold over 20,000 copy someone must be satisfied with the book. Watch for our new Roseville book coming out by the end of the year. It will be a collectors size book with all the pictures and prices plus place for all your information.



2. Somewhat better organized than the other Roseville books, however, the quality of the photos are horrible. Looks like they scanned low resolution images from a catalogs. A lot of incomplete model numbers in the pictures. If you buy this book you need to buy another Roseville book as a companion so that you can validate the information. I doubt the author is actually a collector.



3. This is much better organized than the other Roseville books, and very comprehensive. However, the quality of the photos is much worse since most are pictures of catalog photos. And many have incomplete model numbers in the pictures. Too bad!



4. The Bomms' have amassed the finest single historical description of Roseville's output ever compiled, period. Several other people have produced excellent books but none as complete as Bomm's. They managed to access and photograph a nearly complete collection of Rosevile's catalogue pages which, if not pretty, definitively reveal the item number (get a magnifying glass) of each displayed piece.

   I don't vouch for prices quoted, but the information is irreplaceable.




5. This book is wonderful! As a novice in collecting Roseville, I don't know what I would do without it. "Roseville In All It's Splendor" has given me everything I need to buy wisely. The information is given in an easy to understand format. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't refer to this book. If you collect Roseville this book should be in your library. If you don't collect Roseville - buy the book anyway - it's a great art book!

1. This is a small informative book about many great projects made out of mud. I have not tried the projects yet but am planning on getting my hands in some clay soil very soon. The descriptions, instructions and pictures are clear and easy to follow.
