Creating Beautiful Wedding Flowers - Review star
If you have a creative eye for arranging flowers, this is one area you might decide to do yourself, or for a friend or relative, to save some money on the wedding budget. This book is ideal for finding ideas for bouquets, centrepieces, buttonholes, and corsages.

If you haven’t read De Bono before and are looking for an overview of his concepts, this book probably serves as a good one-stop summary.

Northern Lights (The Golden Compass) by Philip Pullman star[offsite link]
I´ve reviewed the first book in Pullman´s His Dark Materials trilogy on my personal website.

On Writing by Stephen King - Review star
The story of how Stevie King gradually became best-selling horror writer, Stephen King, is fascinating for anyone – whether a writer or reader. If you’ve ever asked, been asked, or wanted to ask a writer how they do it, where they get their ideas from, here’s your answer.

Painting Light with Colored Pencil by Cecile Baird - Review star
Before I picked up this book, I hadn't really considered producing "serious" artwork using coloured pencils. Painting Light with Colored Pencil is a real eye-opener as to what can be achieved with this underused medium, and I'm excited about digging out my box of pencils and giving it a try.

Papercrafts and Origami - Review star
Papercrafts and Origami is a massive book of over 500 pages and covers 300 papercraft projects. Despite the volume offered, I found this book very ordinary and many of the projects are quite rustic in appearance.

Permutation City by Greg Egan star[offsite link]
I´ve reviewed this hard-core science fiction book by Australian author Greg Egan on my personal website.

Simply Sensational Glass Beading - Review star
Simply Sensational Glass Beading contains 35 really unusual and elegant beadwork projects, including ideas for using beading to create greeting cards. This is an excellent book for both beginners and more experienced beadworkers as there are projects to choose from ranging from easy to complex.

The Art Of Music Production - Review star
If you're thinking of a career behind the scenes in the music industry, you will find plenty of advice and inspiration, while musicians and songwriters will find this book invaluable in making an informed decision on the type of producer you need to work with to complement your skills.

The Home Guide to Craft - Review star
The Home Guide to Craft covers so many crafts, ideas, and projects that it will keep an enthusiastic crafter busy for years. There are two projects included for each craft, complete with step-by-step instructions and matching high quality photographs of the process and the finished item.

The Inspired Heart by Jerry Wennstrom - Review star
The story of the spiritual journey which took artist Jerry Wennstrom from reckless creativity, through destroying his artwork, and into a spiritual awareness and understanding and eventually a return to deeper creativity.

The Simple Art of Chinese Calligraphy - Review star
The Simple Art of Chinese Calligraphy presents illustrated step-by-step instructions and explanations of the technique for producing Chinese calligraphy. The photographs and diagrams are extensive and make the process clear and understandable.
