It is so busy visually that it’s completely overwhelming. The ideas got lost in the muddle.

[Rachel · Rating 3 out of 5]

Great photo examples and explanations, cool ideas, fun projects. However, I doubt I'll do any of the projects that require hand saws or sewing machines.

This book was ok. I noticed that some of the ideas were in the magazine by them.
