Review

Full of great new techniques for all kinds of home decorating, Woman's Day Crafts for the Home is a terrific blend of full-color photos and step-by-step instructions. As in a cookbook, each craft has a "recipe" list at the beginning--handy for making shopping lists and ensuring you don't get halfway through only to discover you're missing a crucial ingredient. There are plenty of suggestions for unusual furniture refinishing, and there's definitely something for every decorating style, such as traditional vinegar painting or decoupaging your favorite giant-size comics onto dresser drawers. Also covered are all types of fabric crafts (crocheting, quilting, pillow making, and rug design), along with an entertaining assortment of smaller projects for garden or household ornaments such as a patinaed planter and a painted glass plate. At the back of the book, there's a glossary of crafter terms and a list of crochet abbreviations that will come in handy for beginners or those who just haven't had time to "play" in a while. Also included throughout are stencils for various projects in both wood and fabric. Crafts for the Home is designed primarily for folks who've been crafting for a while, as most projects involve knowing your way around the wood shop or sewing machine pretty thoroughly. Some of the simpler crafts, like sewing pillows or curtains, provide newcomers with a simple place to start or are great activities for kids with the help of an experienced adult. With just an afternoon and a few yards of fabric, you and your child can jazz up a bedroom or the backyard patio; save the more complicated projects for when you've got a few days to work with. --Jill Lightner

The spare bedroom was literally boxed in. Then in May of 1991 the garage over flowed and then it happen the books had to go as their was no more room in the house or in the garage. So the Book Shop was opened. Well I'm still here and a lot more books have passed through the door of our shop the Ye Old Bookworm. All I wanted was a quite little used bookstore. Well that's how it was suppose to happen. We started with 69,873 and growing to well over 170,000. we got so many book we don't even know what we got. I never planned on being rich and famous. Well I'm still not rich, but the old man is really cleaning up (he's the janitor) and a lot of folks know us now so were sort of famous. We would like to get to know you too.
