She details over 50 step-by-step techniques from start to finish, including selecting the right equipment, choosing and preparing fibers, sheet forming, sheet sizing, and how to employ a wide range of embellishments to create lovely papers of every description. Finished handmade papers from professional papermakers are pictured to provide inspiration and show the practical application of each technique, while full projects appropriate to each chapter allow readers to put the skills they have learned into context.

Great coverage of the many paper making techniques, Sep 11 2008

This review is from: Papermaking Techniques Book: Over 50 Techniques for Making and Embellishing Handmade Paper (Paperback)
This book is thorough, maybe a bit basic for some, but one I would classify as an intermediate papermaking book. It comes in strong as my second (if not tied for first) favorite papermaking book in my library. The images and guidelines are clear, thorough and appropriate for each step. Coverage of the many variations of hand made paper end products is excellent. Review "Search Inside this Book" for the table of contents in order to gain a sense for what is covered in this book. Some techniques covered are normally not found in a book of this level - water marks, batik, dry paper coloration etc. - and I found this refreshing. The way the author describes each process takes the mystery out and leaves you understanding the ease of the process. On the back cover the book provides this statement - "Discover the pleasure of making your own handmade paper!" And I sure did - for it is fun and wonderful to see what you can do with many products on hand in order to make very unique handmade paper.
