Many of the earliest books; particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before; are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. Pomona Press are republishing these classic works in affordable; high quality; modern editions; using the original text and artwork.

16 of 17 people found the following review helpful. Stupendous!By A RomeroThis book could encourage anyone. regardless of artistic skills. to become engaged in the art of assemblages. The idea for the book was born when the authors. Tally Oliveau and Julie Brill Molina. challenged a group of artist friends to create specific rooms for a theme house. When the participants finished. the rooms were assembled into a house. Apparently. they had so much fun. that they created a collection of houses - a tree house. a castle. a circus house. and 4 others. Each room is basically a shadow box which is intricately decorated with miniatures. paper dolls. mixed media. and much. much more. The book could be useful for someone interested in a form of self-expression or easily adapted for an elementary through high school project.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Wonderfully CreativeBy KellyFantastic craft and idea book! There are some great tips in here as well as detailed instructions and how-tos. The ideas are quite clever and fun and I cant wait to get started on my doll-house assemblage/fairy garden hybrid. If you are looking for something very traditional such as a how-to on building a Victorian doll-house (for example)..this isnt the book for you. This one is for free-wheeling artist type people.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. ... the physical book out of the public library and liked it. but the Kindle version is a big ...By eva b.I had the physical book out of the public library and liked it. but the Kindle version is a big mistake. I cannot enlarge the photos of completed "houses" and they are by definition small and detailed. The photos of empty cigar boxes and how to cut them with a craft knife are plenty clear--duh. I made the same mistake with another craft book downloaded to Kindle. These books are not suitable for an e-reader.
