Book Reviews of Kites
Book Review: Another silly use of 'search inside' function
Summary: 1 Stars
OK, I am on a crusade here. When Amazon says 'search inside this book' I hope to see the kinds of kites the book teaches how to make. Instead, they are (as they couldn't and wouldn't be in a bookstore or library) blanked out, although some pages showing construction methods are actually, inexplicably visible!
Since art and craft books are really all about appearances, I've decided not to buy books that don't show what things look like. I can understand why they don't want to show details of how the kites are MADE - although that wouldn't be possible in a library or bookstore either.
Get a clue, folks! I - and many others - actually browse books - unfettered and unremarked in real bookstores - before buying them. And then, if we like them, we buy them.
I don't expect anyone to put the entire book online. Certainly not the diagrams and instructions! But craft books are eye candy and we really ought to be able to see what we are buying.
