Book Reviews of Extreme Balloon Tying: More Than 40 Over-the-Top Projects
Book Review: it's a better than average reference book
Summary: 3 Stars
I agree with that other person's review, it's a not great, but not terrible book to learn balloon tying.
Pro
1. clean glossy paper with COLOR (many balloon tying books are without colors and it's really hard to understand balloon twisting through a book let alone you have to coordinate without colors.)
2. easy directions - i love the real model pictures and nearly step-by-step illustrations with easy twisting symbols.
3. has a couple of popular and as well as less often used sculptures to learn from
4. the price is pretty cheap
5. My work place loved the Xmas tree I made from this book and it only took me half an hour with most of the time I was just picking colors for the balloon ornaments.
Con
1. I would personally prefer learning balloon tying through a professional/teacher or through watching a video than reading it from a book. It's hard to understand the motion without seeing the motion.
2. i found no use for most portion of the book - the single or two balloon creations. they aren't very appealing, ex. a single colored penguin or a crab is just not quite appealing to me.
