A few years ago, a friend of mine gave me '
Great Pumpkins: Crafty Carving for Halloween', by Peter Cole (with Jessica Hurley). It's a very useful and fun 80-page instructional book that takes you through getting creative with your ghoulish gourds!
25 amazing Jack-o'-lantern ideas are featured and each one has a stunning photograph by
Kate Kunath, description, "you will need" list and guide on how to make it. Also, stencils for some of the designs featured are included and all of the pages are made from thick, glossy paper, which enables you to have the book next to you whilst you carve. Handy!
