Oh, this doesn't only seem like a good manual, but I like how it incorporates a bit of history of the eggs too. Thanks for the review!

I love learning new tricks on how to decored easter eggs. This seems like a really great book. You are right n mentioning how it is easier to give and receive verbal instructions so I am glad that the author did a good job with this book. Thank you for an amazing review.

I'm not an avid reader of non-fiction novels, but this book sounds like a really good way to become more creative and it sounds like the perfect book for when it gets closer to springtime and Easter. Thanks for the interesting review.

DIY projects became very popular nowadays, so anything potentially able giving you new ideas is always welcome. Personally I, for example, would really like to try this one out. This book content sounds crazy creative and quite delightful! Thank you for it!

I always enjoy your reviews, Cecilia; they're consistently well-written.

I, too, was impressed with how clear the author's instructions were. I have only read the sample pages, but that was enough to concur with your analysis of the book. Thanks for another well-written review!

Though I don't celebrate Easter, I can see how this book might be of value for people who are into arts and crafts and would rather decorate their eggs themselves, as opposed to buying them pre-decorated at a store.

I bet the artwork on the eggs are very unique and beautiful. Someone who likes creating art, or has tried decorating eggs in the past, I'm sure would find the tips in this book useful. I wont lie I have never really been interested in coloring eggs when i was younger or now, so i probably wont read this one. Congratulations on BOTD.

I am not a very artsy DIY person no matter what I do. I can have the best idea in my head but can never manage to get my hands to recreate it. From what you said though, it seems like the directions are written well and maybe I too could make something that looks better than my toddler's crafting!
