I liked the book because it gave me lots of ideas to try. There is only one "but" in this review. I learn more by watching and would love to have a CD of this book made available. Hint..hint...

Comment:  On the inside front cover, Susan tells us what she
hopes this book will do for its readers. I can say
without a doubt that it accomplishes that for me.
I think that every cardmaker should have this on
their craft table at all times. It is just that good!
I cannot remember another book I have been
this excited over.

Comment:  Love It! This is a "must have" for cardmakers. I have been putting off the purchased for several weeks and now as I flip thru it and read it -I wish I had this "years ago". I would recommend this book to all cardmakers novice to experienced. I have been making cards for years and now I have new things to try. I am all about making "WOW" cards and now I have new tricks to get this reaction. You will not be disappointed. Buy this book cardmakers especially but some of the techniques could also transfer over to other papercrafts such as scrapbooking and making bookmarks- those are the first 2 that come to mind. Worth the purchase price and then some- I know if I saw this book in a store where I could flip thru prior to purchase I would have been happy to pay twice the actual amount... No Joke!!

Comment:  I had been wanting this book since it's first edition. I finally got it as a gift to myself! I have been making cards to sell and use for years. There were still some particular techniques that make for a very professional look that I wondered if I could be doing better and more exacting. This book was the perfect next step for me as it answered so many of those pressing questions on how to do things neatly and with precision. I got a full set of the templates a while back and a book that shows those in use. It has become a staple in my library also. I call my card selling hobby 'Elegant Cards by Miriah' and now I truly feel that each card can be done to those standards! I find it hard to get back to my scrapbooking these days with all the delightful card ideas coming my way!

Comment:  Wow! This is some of the best money I've spent on scrapbooking tools. This book is LOADED with great advice, design and examples. If you are just starting out, it is a MUST HAVE. If you are a veteran scrapbooker, it will take your work to the next level. If you are a card maker (like me) it will rock your world. (Cards are just mini-scrapbook pages, after all). I am a huge fan of Susan Cobb, and this book is fantastic. I find I am carrying it around with me and studying it at every spare moment. So, excuse me while I go look at it again....

Comment:  I really like this book!
It has lots of wonderful ideas, and even though these are ideas are meant for making cards, I am going to incorporate them in my scrapbook pages. Even though I was expecting pictures rather than handrawn sketches, I still think this is a good reference book.

Comment:  This "Journal of Paper Engineering" is everything I hoped it would be. It was not at all complicated but easy to understand and put into practice. Instructions and pictures are clear and easy to follow and I am no engineer. In fact I am quite the opposite.
I have already made some of the paper embellishments to enhance my cards. Thanks to Susan and to Paperwishes for making this book available. Will use it frequently.

Comment:  This book is fabulous! It makes paper engineering fun and doable. I read the book last night at bedtime...which was a big mistake because I got so excited I couldn't fall asleep. Spent the afternoon today putting the things I'd learned into practice. WOW! One of the very best items I've bought so far. Thanks, Susan, for sharing your expertise with us!

Very easy and simple instructions to make beautiful cards. Very good for beginners. It is definitely worth every penny. It has no limits to what you can create with a little inspiration. Thank you Susan Cobb.
