Decorative Wrap Books

I've done a few decorative wraps but would like to learn a bit more about it.

Mudhole has a book by Billy Vivona for $40.00

Decorative Rod Wrapping #1 and #2 for $6.50 each

I looked at Visual Wrap but it's a little pricey for a guy on a small pension! LOL

I also have Tom Kirkman's Rod Building Guide which helped me a lot to get started in all of this,,,,,I don't know weather to thank him or put up a dart board with his picture on it! LOL

I found a free program to help choosing color designs but it's in French so I'm lost there!

I would really appreciate any help and or advise anyone can give me in choosing a good book (or other resources) for decorative wraps.

Thanks,,,
Tom

I second John Powell's advice about getting Billy Vivona's book. Bit pricy, but well written and full of great information.

Thank you for the help and advise.
I will buy Bills book.

I find it difficult to shop on line at times when I can't actually see what I'm buying and to get help from people like you helps a LOT!

There are so many self proclaimed experts out there it's sometimes hard to weed through everything to find someone who really knows what they are talking about!!!

Thanks again,,,
Tom
