Martha Stewart's Handmade Holiday Crafts



So here's the thing, I realize that this was an ARC and the publisher had no responsibility to send in the best version of the book to the readers but for a book which is meant to draw a customer in using graphics and photographs, the ARC was a terrible print with the photos in a weird resolution. It made even Martha Stewarts' project look - well - cheap for one thing and amateur for another. Apart from this issue however,I found the book to be interesting and catering to a wide audience. The pictures (if I take them to be in good quality at printing time) draw you in and you wanted to try your hands at the project as soon as you read them. However some techniques (such as easter eggs decoration) were given in too much details while others were just skimmed.
Still, it'd make for a good buy and I liked the inspirations that I got from this book.
