I borrowed this book from the library, and was so impressed with it I bought my own copy. I wasn't a complete novice when I bought it by any means, but it gave me quite a number of new ideas. I dip in and out of it quite often actually. Some very useful website addresses in it too. A very useful addition to any scrapbookers library.
