The smooth surface, pleasing shape, and ready availability of the egg make it a wonderful canvas on which to paint, dye, engrave, draw, etch, or batik. This slim book offers basic directions on purchasing, cleaning, decorating, and storing eggs, as well as photos of intricately adorned eggs; although the photos are not top quality, they do show that the degree of detail some of these artists are able to achieve on this small area is at times amazing. Greater depth of detail in the instructions would have improved the presentation, but it does serve as a decent general introduction to the craft for those willing to experiment. --Amy Handy
