Format:Hardcover
This book is excellent for the beginner. The instructions are clear and there are alot of step by step photos, so it is dyslexic friendly. None of the pictures need to be enlarged on a photo copier. The book also has a spiral bind so lays flat when you are traceing paterns. Very conciderate. All of the patterns are worth doing and all look effective even for a beginner.
Format:Paperback
Really pleasant book, great for beginners with some interesting patterns for the more experienced. Glad I have it.Never seen it anywhere else to purchase.

Great book to have for Parchers!
2 Aug 2001
Format:Hardcover
The instructions and illustrations are clear and concise. Many step-by-step picture illustrations are included. Book also illustrates the different ways to dorso a plain paper. This is great as I can now have coloured parchment paper the way I need them. If you have problems in cutting the `X', this book goes into detail how to make them. It also provides good diagrams to illustrate correct and incorrect cuts made. In all, there are more than 30 patterns in this book. These patterns will be able to keep any parchment craft lovers occupied for hours. Overall, this book is well-organised and I'm sure you will enjoy the book as much as I have.

Parchment Craft (Art of Crafts) by Carla Larter
2 Aug 2005
Format:Hardcover
I was pleasently surpriced receiving this book. I am a novice in this field, constantly improving after taking a class. This book is EXCELENT. First the book is hardbound, but the pages are on a ringbinder, so when you go to trace or make a copy to enlarge a pattern( for personal use only), you can actually get the whole pattern.
Her instructions are VERY precise, and her teaching was a great help to me, easy to follow, and lots of "tricks of the trade"-hints with expl. Would look foreward to any further books with patterns from this author. Sincerely Linda Fisher

Great book!
1 Jun 2009
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I am a complete beginner and this book has proven more useful to me than any other parchment craft or Pergamano books. The instructions are very easy to follow, and there are plenty of patterns to practice with (or to make projects with.)If I'd gotten this book first, I may not have gotten some of the other books I've spent money on.
What I especially love about this book is that you don't feel like you have to buy a hundred different tools and lots of other fancy supplies just to get started! Looking at other books, you could get turned off by how expensive parchment craft can be.
