The book “Halloween Crafts: Eerily Elegant Decor” (2001) is not worth purchasing. Although many of the artwork is cute and some of the vintage images are nice, the general photo quality and lists of ideas are really mediocre. The book does include a lot of information on some Halloween …

I received this book as a gift and to be honest I didn’t give it much of a chance. I use beads pretty much exclusively for making jewelry. I don’t have an idea that I want to attach them to a quilt or make textile art with them. Also, …

Being a member of the Books and Writers Community on Compuserve, I’ve always wondered about everyone’s fascination over audiobooks.
