~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There is a lot of content and each
project is described in a step-by-step fashion.
Unfortunately, the formatting doesn’t work well with my kindle. Most of the pictures are blank and the ones
that are there, I couldn’t tell which picture went with which step since they
weren’t matched one to one, but instead all of the pictures then all of the
words. Not a good set-up for someone who
learns crafts visually.
On the other hand, it isn’t sold as
an ebook, so having it submitted to ebook reviewers was probably an error on
the part of the publisher. I’d love to
have another go at it if I had the actual book.
Note: while I was given this book as a gifted ARC,
my opinions are my own and are given freely.
