Reborning Overview
 
Review Date: April 23, 2006
Reviewer: Kelly L. Smith, Garrettsville, OH United States
This is a beautifully photographed book which addresses many aspects of reborning, including assembly, painting, rooting and detailing. I was also very impressed to find a section with instructions on how to open eyes in vinyl and three pages regarding ethnic babies. Additionally, there is an extensive list of suppliers with detailed photos of the various products.

This is a beautiful reference, and would also make a lovely gift or coffee table book.
Great pictures, text not bad either but the typos?? Ugh.

Reviewer: J. Passe, NC USA
This book left me with mixed feelings. It has great pictures and amazing help with color. The pictures speak thousand words. This book helps by just using the pictures as a reference when you are doing your painting. The text is ok, to my opinion hard to follow directions. I like step by step, this is not it. And one annoying thing in this book... the number of typos. Michelle, you have a talent, but PLEASE have somebody proofread your work next time before you publish. It looks very unprofessional and for the cost of this book, these types of typos are unacceptable to me. Hence the four stars, although my tru rating should be 3.5. It's better than 3 but not quite 4 stars.
This book is okay...but not great

This book is also over priced. If you are looking for information on how to do ethnic skintones without using RIT dye, this is not the book. Some of the information is okay, but really, you can get the info in this book online for free.
