Summary: Worth buying, but slightly anemic.
Comment: If you can afford to pick this up and just want to have all the collage/assemblage/book altering things you can get, by all means go ahead and nab this one, because it is lovely. There's a little Bagby, some Bagley, with dashes of Michel and Perrella and Riesch, so of course the eye candy is there, but I selfishly wanted a little "more" from this one. Some of the other featured art, while certainly very pleasant to look at, just isn't striking enough, IMO, to stand up on its own against the stronger pieces, let alone to have its own step-by-step instructions provided.
One thing that makes me feel a certain lacking is how abbreviated the authors' text seems. Mind you, it's not that what commentary is provided isn't engaging, but it doesn't go as deep as its potential. It's like having a dinner companion bring up something you find intensely interesting, and dropping an intriguing tidbit of their own opinions on the subject, but then realizing others were listening and biting her tongue.
I was left with no doubt in my mind that the authors have so much more to offer than this, but that they were somehow short on time and had to break this project off just shy of reaching its full development. Definitely worth owning, but don't break Mr. Piggy to buy this one new.

Summary: Lackluster
Comment: I was thoroughly disappointed in this book. Based on reviewer comments I hastened to buy it, and then found it uninspiring. It presented nothing new, not an iota of soul and seemed like a simple compendium of collage work with some scattered instructions that may not be sufficiently clear.
Rating: 5
Summary: Collage for the Soul
Comment: If you are a collage artist, you will want to purchase this book. It is not a "how to" book but a wonderful resource of images and artists you might not find anywhere else. Many different styles of collage are represented and I find something new and inspiring everytime I look at it! There are many women creating in the collage world today and not enough resources to find them...get this book and see new images and artists! The collages are shown in beautiful, full page reproductions so that you can study the details. Highly recommend!
