Bill, I received your 2 CD books a little while back, and I sure am impressed with the variety of projects and the clarity of instruction.
I’m pretty much a beginner, but the instructions are very clear and very helpful, especially on how to use a tool for a certain effect. This was a wonderful investment for myself, and I’m very glad I ran into your books. Every time I open another chapter and look, it just amazes me how much use I’ll be able to get out of these books.
To tell you the truth, I didn’t really think I’d care for a book on CD, but just the fact that you can print out what you need and not worry about ruining it in the shop is a real relief. If I mess up a page or it gets tattered, I can always re-print it.
Thanks again,
Fran, from Arkansas
