pms4104 Posted April 21, 2008 #1 Share Posted April 21, 2008 I was browsing the Variety section of the Onboard Gifts portion of HAL's site and noticed that for $15 one can order a coffee-table book featuring the critters. Not much description ... but I would imagine and hope that the book is not just a picture book but includes how-to's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AHB27 Posted April 21, 2008 #2 Share Posted April 21, 2008 We purchased the "Towel Creations" book on the Volendam about 3 weeks ago. It gives detailed instructions for 40 animals (far more than we have actually seen during cruises!) and even tells you what size towels to purchase. Btw, the towels should be washed first for good results... Why not surprise your next staying guests at home ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grsnovi Posted April 22, 2008 #4 Share Posted April 22, 2008 I wouldn't classify the book as "coffee table" - which to me signifies a large format. The book looked interesting but we don't have many over night guests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paticakes Posted April 23, 2008 #6 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Is the lizard and sea turtle in the book? There is a lizard in the book and also a turtle. It really is a cute book and I am anxious to try a few. I won the book at a cruise critic get together on our last cruise. Not sure I would have paid $15 for it but sure was a nice prize!

dr1ce Posted April 27, 2008 #7 Share Posted April 27, 2008 It's definitely not the size of a "traditional" coffeetable book, but it's a nice small version of a pictorial coffeetable style book. It looks like this: Here are a few interior pages, to see how it's laid out: (There are photos of the towel animals I got in the gallery link below).
