Review title: Tips and techniques are sketchy at best
Product review: This book has some attractive patterns, so, if you're just looking for patterns to blindly copy, it is probably fine. Unfortunately, however, it bills itself as offering tips and techniques -- which are very sketchy at best -- and the Resources don't even include Papercuttings By Alison, which is where 99% of US papercutters purchase their supplies. You would HAVE to own at least one other papercutting book to be able to use this -- which is a darned shame, since it would have been very simple for the author to mention the basic things every papercutter knows about using paper, scissors, knives, etc. If you're going to NAME your book Techniques, you really ought to include as much information as possible. Conversely, if she'd named her book Patterns, it would have been fine. I just wouldn't want anyone to think that this is a standalone book on the subject ... It is a book of patterns, with a few tips included.
