I really loved her first book, which had tips, ideas, projects, and information I could use beyond those projects. This book seemed to be mostly a vehicle for displaying other artists' work that was made with maps. It was nice as a gallery of work but that's not what I was looking for from a book.
great color photographs show what you can do with any type of map. The projects in the book are not very complicated and there are easy to follow instructions. plus they show some creative ways you can use simple map art. If you want inspiration to try more complex projects or wish to see examples of art, there is work from some very creative artist. This is a very nice book.
I received this book as a gift. I am very pleased with it and would highly recommend it. The cover is gorgeous and the art inside, likewise. The book has a beautiful, elegant layout and is well organized. There are 25 inspiring projects, detailed instructions, diagrams and photographs. For even more inspiration there is a outstanding gallery of beautiful art utilizing maps by over 50 artists. I have already made the triangle box for a quick, elegant box for a gift. I look forward to trying more projects soon!
