The Bumper Book of Papers
Search Press
ISBN 9350800354
RRP £12.99
Consisting of 72 beautiful acid and lignin free papers to cover a multitude of subjects, this book is truly fabulous. Part of a series of ten books designed for the papercrafter, the A4 papers are of a good weight and quality, with a perforated edge and can easily take all that could be thrown at them, from a stamped image to slightly damp Twinkling H20. Each page is highly inspirational; Russian dolls, globes, chillies, and many cater for that elusive masculine card with the use of boats or checks. A range of papers which store easily, are very workable, and won’t break the bank, especially if you buy them from the Book People for £5! Your only difficulty will be stopping yourself from buying the whole range!
