Collage SourceBook: Exploring the Art and Techniques of Collage - Quarry Books 2005
I recommend this book filled with many many collage projects and tips for collage and assemblage. The projects range from monotypes to encaustic from photomontage to chine colle giving ideas for printmaking and beyond.

Quote: "A mistake is an unforeseen opportunity.  It is a way to generate previously unimagined ideas and to find and create new possibilities."  Deborah Putnoi
