Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

From love letters to wedding invitations to birth announcements, everything looks more beautiful and personal written on handmade paper. And setting up a home paper mill is surprisingly easy with these instructions for both beginning and advanced techniques, including laminating, embossing, layering, watermarking, crumpling, marbling, and pigmentation. Find just the right tones, colors, decorations, and textures for every kind of message and gift. Along with several personal stationery styles, the papermaking projects cover samplers, stab-bound books, photo frames, window greeting cards, decorative bowls, sparkle paper, party favors, and paper packages, including a money envelope, pillow boxes, and gift bags.
