A Book for Dummies
Not well edited the layout was not pleasing, the black and white photos were of very poor quality they seemed out of focus. There is a color section but I personally find it more useful to have the color photos opposite the crochet instructions. The paper used to print on was was little better than newsprint. The general effect was not appealing which meant that I did have any desire to take a closer a closer look at the rest of the book.

Great How-to Book
I have been crocheting for 60 years or so. This book has good tips even for a seasoned crocheter like me. Some fun patterns. The illustrations on making the stitches, and the written instructions are good and clear. I highly recommend this especially to beginners....but as I say it has some good information for those who have been at it for awhile.
