Good news: These days, when you’re in need of a website to promote your brand, sell your stuff or display your work, affordable options abound. Bad news: Confusion over a multitude of platforms and decisions about content can be a stumbling block. In Create Your Own Website the Easy Way, Alannah Moore guides readers through the process, laying out the pros and cons of platforms (WordPress, Squarespace, Weebly, Shopify, WooCommerce) with testimonials from small business owners who use them. Even better, she also delivers a crash course in graphic design and writing for the web, with tips for making videos and winning the social media and search engine games. At first glance, the pages and layout may seem busy, but soon I understood that all of the graphics are just screenshots of web pages serving as helpful examples. Though guides like this will inevitably grow dated as technology churns on, Moore’s is one I’m glad to have on hand while thinking about my own web presence.

A budding artist or regular doodler may feel inspiration strike while perusing The Urban Sketchbook, in which illustrator Sergi Cámara identifies social media as the force behind a rise in awareness of the long and influential history of sketching. Now that so many artists are posting their sketches and daily drawing exercises online, more people are getting inspired to pick up pen and paper and give it a try. Cámara looks at sketching as both a journalistic practice and an art form. He explains popular drawing techniques— with illustrations from actual artists’ sketchbooks—while giving plenty of attention to different styles such as natural, realist, humorous and abstract. Though it is less of a straightforward how-to than some other drawing manuals, The Urban Sketchbook includes an educational overview of the available materials and other helpful tips to get creative juices flowing.

Being prepared, like any scout knows, will make your camping trip a success—no matter how luxe or minimal your approach. And if you heed the suggestions of the gorgeous Camp Sunset: A Modern Camper’s Guide to the Great Outdoors, you almost can’t go wrong. From picking a tent and campsite to packing essential kitchen utensils, building a campfire and layering items in a cooler, the first pages serve as a photo-rich and beautifully designed primer. But the highest points come in the second half: the section titled “The Best Camp Food Ever” offers tips on cooking by stove or grill, washing dishes in the wild and even baking. Ambitious? Perhaps. But I’ll be happy to try their Breakfast Shakshouka or Camp Pizza with Sausage and Fontina—tent-side or at home. The “Fun in Camp” chapter is packed with adorable activities and crafts to keep kids feeling the good nature vibes. There’s even a pullout glow-in-the-dark constellation poster for stargazers and a list of 150 campfire songs for the playlist-maker. Just browsing this book made me a happy camper, ever more eager to pack up the car and head out there, ASAP.
