Reviews
Artist and author Rothamel’s offering is appealing. It is a one-stop annotated and illustrated dictionary of greeting card information, whether the subject is mechanics (accordion fold, wrinkling); how-to’s (past paper, thermal embossing); arcane bytes (deltiology is the art of collecting postcards); or relevant tips (the use and safety of craft knives). Although the book is comprehensive in scope, no one entry is featured in complete detail; a good addition would have been bibliographic citations (for more information). Still, the author provides a good overview of the craft along with profiles of 14 practitioners, a historical time line, and advice for the wannabe professional (such as card submission and composition guidelines). --Barbara Jacobs
