New books! I've rounded up twelve newly released and upcoming paper art and craft titles that look nothing but enticing. As per usual, paper flowers are popular with makers, and there are three such books included. The same goes for paper folding and origami, with four titles to explore. I've also included a stunning jewelry compendium, two that teach bookbinding, and two expanded versions of the popular international magazine Flow - one for adults plus an earlier one for children.
