Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I have found the book no use at all. Maybe if you're brand new to any kind of collage or mixed media you might find some inspiration so that you could go on and find out how to implement your ideas on your own. I usually consider a book worth having if I can find at least two projects that get me excited. I didn't find any here. I've been working professionally with mixed media and collage for 7 years, and I was looking forward to receiving such a well reviewed book. There's not much "how to", just a lot of generalities, and the only images that got my attention and thinking, "Hey, now this is more like it", when I turned the page, the instructions are for entirely different pieces. Here's one example of the instructions: Page 78 "Handmade" "Learning Objective: To investigate handmade papers. Materials * Papermaking kit which should include a deckle, mold, and pulp materials as well as instructions. or * Plan a field trip to a paper store and purchase at least five different sheets of handmade paper. Step 1. If the option to make paper was chosen, follow the kit instructions and make paper." I'm only slightly irritated about having purchased the book, and I'll keep it till I clean out my shelves and donate it, but when a book just doesn't cut it, I wish reviewers would review the negatives as well. This system fails when all we do is write glowing reports about everything because those are the only ones that get chosen as "helpful".
