There is a lot of good information on library research methods and specific libraries to consult for creative people who are looking for book-inspired craft projects. The projects in general did not appeal to me personally, specifically using marbled endpapers as inspiration for a sewn pouch or

illustrations from a children's book as a basis for a child's dress.
