And some good stair quotes:

“The vision must be followed by the venture. It is not enough to stare up the steps - we must step up the stairs.” ~Vance Havner

“An escalator can never break: it can only become stairs. You would never see an Escalator Temporarily Out Of Order sign, just Escalator Temporarily Stairs. Sorry for the convenience.” ~Mitch Hedberg

“The ambitious climbs up high and perilous stairs, and never cares how to come down; the desire of rising hath swallowed up his fear of a fall.” ~Thomas Adams

Alice falls down the rabbit hole and her dress poofs up like a parachute
Alice: “Well, after this I should think nothing of falling down stairs.”~Alice in Wonderland

“Away from the world and its toils and its cares, I've a snug little kingdom up four pair of stairs.” ~ William Makepeace Thackeray

I bought the first book because of your review and love it! I enjoy trying new things for cards (especially 3-D stuff I can incorporate into a card), so I'm always on the lookout for idea books like this. Thanks for the heads up on this one - it's now on my wish list at Amazon!

I love paper engineering! I'm off to take a look at this in my local bookstore. I love it when books are bundled with CDs so pages don't have to be scanned for templates!

I was LITERALLY just using Herriot's first book this afternoon, making a few things with my digital cutter and I was wondering when a second volume would be coming. I checked Amazon & they had nothing & then the email from your blog showed up & voila! If book 2 is even half as cool as book 1, it will be so worth the money. I use book 1 all the time. It opens right into Adobe Illustrator & can be tweaked directly from there. Anyway, thank you, thank you THANK YOU for the good news. Now if I can just wait until September when it's released. This is worse than waiting for the next Twilight movie & that's sying something!
