For Book Pile

Lisa C just started a Flickr group asking artsy-crafty friends to photograph the books that are "inspiring" them recently. I'm not a crafty-book person--I sometimes look at crochet books at the library, at most. But trying to play along: Top book is called "Structural Package Designs" and I use it all the time to make giftboxes and such. The Barbara Hodgson book SHOULD be "The Tattooed Map," but I've lent that to a friend so I used another one--I'm planning to do some vintage architectural images on some purses soon, and thinking about using old maps/photos of Algiers, Morocco, etc. for one of them, so Hodgson's on my mind. The Biographical Dictionary of Scottish Women is just there because I love biographical dictionaries, and because a lot of my purses are featuring women's history subjects lately. And the Hannah Frank book is related to a recent art lesson I proposed (didn't get accepted, but there's always next year).
