I thought this was an instruction book - it's a "how I created great art" book - I was very disappointed

• I'll Never Look At A Rusty Nail The Same Way Again 02 June, 2008
For those of you creating found art for the first time and those who have been creating for years ... this is the book for you. Makes you want to visit junk yards and comb thru the muck just to find that special, odd piece that brings your art to life. Love his stories and humor. Will flip through the pages of this book for years to come.

• A Beautiful Book Of Wonderful, Inspiring Work 08 May, 2008
I LOVE this book, it is filled with so many beautiful images that it has inspired me in many, many ways. The stories behind the pieces remind us to look deeper into the art around us and listen to their stories. I was surprised so many people were disappointed it was not a step by step book, art should inspire you to create, not copy. If you don't get inspired by this book, consider seeing a doctor :)

• Worthless 24 October, 2008
Would not waist a shinny penny on this book. Title very miss leading.
Nothing but junk. Buy a pc of metal object, spray some of that spray foam around it and paint it. Wow that's it.
