This is an amazing book! I borrowed it from a school I volunteer at, but I'm thinking of buying it myself. If you're looking for a book that will give you tons of inspiration for your art projects, look no further. The Complete Book of Papercrafts contains 300 over project ideas! True, not all of them are terribly original. Some of them are variations of each other- not that I think there is anything wrong with that. You're probably find many ideas that have been tried before in this book. Personally, I don't find that problematic. This is a book that will guide you through paper art &crafts projects, not a book that will teach you everything there is to know and/ or introduce you with the newest paper art trends.

This book explains the principal paper techniques and it explains them well. In that sense, it feels like a complete book. Maybe it is not the most original project book, but it is a well composed and descriptive one. There are no revolutionary or cutting edge techniques in this one. However, the instructions are always clear and the photographs are beautiful. What more could you ask from a similar book? The writing is easy to understand to follow and illustrations are well made. The Complete Book of papercrafts is filled with wonderful paper art and crafts ideas. You can find all kinds of projects in it, anything from origami art to wrapping ideas.
