Books are one of the best ways to learn about a subject you're interested in. But a keyword search for "scrapbook" at Amazon.com brings up over 2,000 results. A search for "photography" brings almost 9,000 results! Those are a LOT of books to sort through! Here I'll list some of the best books to start with for each category -- books I personally have enjoyed, books I've heard again and again are the best, and books other scrappers really get behind.

I don't want this section to be just about my opinions -- so I need input! If you have a favorite book in one of these categories, write a review and send it my way! I don't need just a "dude, this book was cool. the end." I want in-depth thoughts, in paragraphs, with details about what makes a book great. If you would like to contribute a review, or you are an author or publisher and would like me to consider your book for review, please e-mail me. I don't guarantee I will post every review, but the reviews I find useful will go up, with your name credits and a link to a bio page in the "Lovin' It" section.
