Gourd Book List
With thousands of books on Amazon alone, we have gone through at least a thousand books to select books we would like to have for
artistic inspiration, or to look at some fine detail to see how to do something. These are a series of assorted catagories of books to
help to teach and/or inspire the budding or even the advanced Gourd Artist... Or any artist or crafter for that matter. The selections on
these pages are one's we found of interest, as well as any we deemed viable for the purpose of teaching and inspiring the mind, however
we recommend you personally read the reviews and the information on the books, and make you own decisions. We cannot determine what each
individual may find inspiring so therefore we cannot be held responsible for bad choices.
