The books in this section are usually hardcover and in decent condition, though we'll sometimes offer hard-to-find books in lesser condition at a reduced price. Though we often put images of the book with their original dust jackets, the copies here won't always (or even often) have them. If that is important to you, please call ahead or say so in the order comments! 

"Spools –wooden and lasting, and available wherever there is a sewing box –can be the base for any number of creative projects, and a great variety of them.  For a girl, they can become dolls, doll furniture, picture frames, and jump ropes.  For a boy, they can be made into sky divers, robots, totem poles.

Spools can be used for knitting, or for printing holiday cards and stationery.  They can be made into gifts, like pincushions or mobiles, into stick puppets for plays, or into many kinds of games, directions for which are also given.  They can become party favors and holiday decorations.  The uses they can be put to are limited only by the imagination.

The author of this book, who has had wide experience teaching crafts and writing about them, gives clear and complete directions for each project.  None of them is difficult.  The tools for this unique craft are simple ones, and the possibilities for fun are almost endless."
