I’ve been creating these book round-ups throughout 2018 featuring five books a month. It just dawned on me that I’ve written five how-to books, so this post is dedicated to them. You might be interested in the story behind my how-to books. Quite early in my career, an editor at Storey Books saw a listing for a workshop I was teaching at the New York Horticultural Society called Compost Papermaking. This piqued her interest, because Storey published all kinds of gardening books and had recently branched out into crafts. She wrote me a letter (this was before e-mail) and asked whether I’d be interested in writing a book on the subject! Well, that idea became Papermaking With Plants (in hardback), which is now Papermaking with Garden Plants and Common Weeds (in paperback). Click through to read a bit more about each of my how-to books.

Thought you’s enjoy an aricle from The Philadelphia (PA) Inquirer about making paper from elephant dung in Thailand.
