Reviews

Fine art papermaking has enjoyed a surge of interest in the past ten years. These two recent additions to the growing body of instructional guides have much in common. Both volumes are filled with low-cost techniques aimed at the individual artist who needs basic recipes and methods of papermaking, from raw fiber to the completion of a high-quality product. Both describe how to decorate finished paper surfaces through the use of dyes, printing, stencils, and marbling. Both cover book making, and both are visually appealing works. Thereafter, these two guides begin to diverge. Shannon includes a broader range of three-dimensional projects such as lamp shades, window screens, and papier mache jewelry, while Blake and Milne focus more on stationery, albums, and decorative picture frames. Shannon offers diagrams that are a bit easier to understand and more text, but with no words wasted; the level of her writing is sophisticated enough to be interesting without being overly technical. For these reasons, her book is the more highly recommended, though both books would be popular in public library collections.

Store Description

With 3 stores less than 1 hour outside the DC/Metropolitan area (1 in Gaithersburg, 1 in Frederick and 1 in Hagerstown, MD), we have the largest selection of books in the tri-state area. Wonder Book and Video has been in business since 1980 and online since 1997. We have over 1 Million books for sale on our website and another 1 Million books for sale in our 3 locations. Items on Abe are not necessarily in stock at our retail locations. Please do not call the stores to place orders for Abe Books sales. We have a very active online inventory and as such, we can receive multiple orders for the same item. We fill those orders on a first come first serve basis, but will refund promptly any items that are out of stock. Since 1980 it has always been about the books. ALL kinds of books from 95 cent children's paperbacks to five figure rare and collectibles. A merging of the old and new is where we started, and it is where we are today. Our retail stores have always been places where a reader can rush in looking for a title needed for a term paper that is due the next day, or where bibliophiles can get lost "in the stacks" for as long as they wish. In 2002 USAToday recognized us as "1 of 10 Great Old Bookstores", and we have been featured in numerous other newspaper and TV stories including Washington Post and CSpan. Members ABAA, ILAB.
