Very Useful
|
I bought this book to give me ideas on what to do with my old books, i do art at university and found this book really helpful!!! I can use the techniques to make my own sketch books from old novels. I find myself constantly looking back at the book for inspiration and techniques. This book has information on techniques,materials and artists. Very useful if you are doing book-making for artist info etc.
The only bad thing i can say is it shows you images of final pieces, does not show you the work in process, and doesn't actually show you how to book bind and construct the books. You only need to buy this book if your looking for inspiration and artist research.

I discovered the art of altering books early last year when looking for some online collage resources. This is a great outlet for anyone's creativity, be they trained artist or, like me, complete amateur. Holly Harrison's book is a feast of techniques and, more importantly, inspiration. For anyone curious about this odd branch of art/collage/journalling, this book is a must. I would also recommend Gwen Diehn's "The Decorated Page" and "Making Journals By Hand" by Jason Thompson.
