If you are an artist who wants to get started in collage, I think you'll find many useful ideas and inspirations here. If you are a craftsperson, who wants to incorporate collage techniques into scrapbooking or card making there are better books, including Nita Leland's Creative Collage Techniques. The techniques in this book are sketchily presented and involve a lot of artistic decision-making. There are a lot of very lovely collages and assemblages by various artists pictured in the book. ( )
