SUMMARY- This was a nice assortment of reprinted articles - not sure which Tower Press magazine they came from. My best guess is "Women's Housekeeping", since a random search for the articles in the Tower Press runs I've already cataloged turned up zilch. I was particularly pleased with the candle-making article. I can't tell from the picture how well the candles actually come out, but it seems like an interesting idea to experiment with doing hand-formed candles - and one I hadn't seen before.
All of Tower Press' publications were printed on extremely cheap newsprint paper, so pictures of samples are likely dark and hard to see detail. Still worth the price of admission. What Tower Press lacked in print quality, they more than made up for in providing creative, beautiful designs and projects.
