I love books of all kinds, of all genres and in every form. I love stories, interesting information snd detailed steps. A book is a way to go into a topic in depth. I'm sharing some of my favorite books with you here. Mostly this will be books to help explore your creative endeavors, but I can't resist throwing in some of myy favorite reads on other topics or fiction as well. While this page does contain affiliate links for you to purchase books I would ALWAYs suggest you see if you can find it free or less expensive first. If you are fortunate enough to have a local library always check there. Especially if it is an expensive book, read it for free first if you can so that you can decide whether or not to Invest your money in a purchase.
Haunt used book stores and thrift stores for books, you can find some treasures. There are online used book resources as well like Thrift Books, Better World Books, World of Books and Abe Books.
Books that I love that have nothing to do with crafting, just good reads I recommend.
