Book Review
Dover Publications

By Jeannie Havel

Whether you're looking for copyright-free images to use for transfers, or just scouting for design ideas, Dover Publications is a goldmine of a source. Not only does this publisher offer an extensive catalog of book titles -- many including a CD-ROM of the same images found in particular books -- but online they offer a FREE weekly sampler of design images.

The Dover Design Sampler provides email subscribers with free downloadable clip art from their collection of over 400,000 designs, illustrations, photos and typography. Here's how it works. Once a week, subscribers receive an email with a link to a special page at the Dover Publications website. This page is filled with a wide variety of free clip art samples from their collection for you to explore and use right away.

If you're new to Dover or are only familiar with a few of their subject areas, you might be interested to know that they have over 8,000 books suitable for the whole family at very affordable prices. The books range from children's activity and coloring books to classic literature, science books, crafts books, and of course, clip art. Dover includes something for everyone.

Here's a link to the current Dover Design Sampler:

I’ve been a subscriber for quite some time and each week I get a new and delightful array of free images to download and use any way I choose. I've included one of the images below, from a recent weekly offering. I hope you will take advantage of this wonderful opportunity to enhance your polymer clay art endeavors.
