SUMMARY: I only have the premiere issue at the moment. They give you an eclectic mix of media projects(though paint comes up a lot), a bunch of which relates to textiles and clothing. Patterns are bound into the book and not on a separate pull-out sheet, so no worries there on buying an issue used. I was pleased with the sophistication of the projects and definitely got ideas inspired by the photography and patterns here - this is a great resource. My only peeve is that too many of the projects didn't have a designer's name given. This is a big red flag in my experience, but without seeing more of the issues, I withold judgement.



HOW TO MAKE THIS MAGAZINE CATALOG SEARCHABLE:
METHOD ONE(downside is it takes some effort and time):
1. Open a blank page in your favorite word processing program.
2. Right click and "SELECT ALL"
3. Right click and "COPY"
4. "PASTE" or CTRL"V" what you copied into the blank page(it could take a while depending on the size of the page)
5. Use the search function as you normally would. Try to stick to only one word, since authors will sometimes use their middle initial, then not, change names, etc.
6. Trash the blank page when you're done.

METHOD TWO(downside is you have to wade through a lot of HTML code to read the entries):
1. Right click and "VIEW SOURCE". This will bring up a second window that will give you a behind-the-stage look at my coding along with the entries. There is a search function on source pages. Use it as you would the search function for a word processor(see METHOD 1). Close the Source page when you're done.
