Pretty good book overall
This was a nice bood with good illistrations. There was a nice selection of ornaments to look at in the gallery at the end of the book. However, I was a bit dissapointed that the most of the instructions were for miniature bird house ornaments of various designs but, using very similar techniques with minor variations. (10 bird houses and 2 other ornament styles) It woud have been nice to have demonstrated a wider variety of ornament styles like a basic globe ornament, some of the more ornate globe ornaments in the gallery, an inside out ornament, and a snowman would be just a few possibilities.

Christmas Presents
This book is the only one of its kind I know of. Including the shipping, it was less expensive than the local book stores. The content is great. Many plans are fully illustrated and lead to ideas of your own. The ornaments make great Christmas presents. Well worth the price.
