Very interesting. I send both printed cards and email messages with cards and photos, depending on the recipients and where they are located. My kids also love receiving funny cards and cards with sound.
From April until September, I will be posting a series of articles on finding and working with greeting card sales reps.

Check link. Start & Run a Greeting Cards Business
Book covers starting a card business in the UK.
Good basic info, but financial/measurement info is in different monetary units.
Creative Illustration Workshop
Exercises for integrating illustration with other mixed-media techniques, and scan and layer your illustrations using a computer.
Print Workshop
Hand-Printing Techniques for low budgets. Interesting ways to put imagery on products. Perhaps a good technique for putting our designs on model items to show what they would look like on real products.
Digital Alchemy
Printmaking techniques for fine art and how to transfer images to a variety of surfaces. It includes decals and skins.
Critical Mass
Cutting-edge developments in international printmaking. Since printmaking is fundamental in most surface design concepts, this book's goal is a modern approach on a traditional printmaking.
