\ Library JournalBasket styles ranging from utilitarian to artistic are illustrated in these two books. 500 Baskets, one of a continuing series from Lark (500 Wood Bowls) on craft objects as art, showcases the works of many studio artists using basketry techniques. These clever, sometimes whimsical examples involve many types of media. In contrast, Siler's (Handmade Baskets) book is full of practical projects by several designers for traditional baskets made from traditional materials. Techniques are well illustrated with line drawings, and there is a color photo of each finished basket. Both books are recommended for all arts and crafts collections.
