A most comprehensive collection of crochet patterns. The photos are not the best, but no worries, text and charts make up for them.

Nice!
This is a great book for finding new stitches to crochet. The instructions are clear and the illustrations are interesting. I only had one serious problem with this book and that is the spine broke the first time I opened it. The second time I opened it, I had a large chunk of pages come out in my hand. The publisher would have done better to bind this as a spiral so it could be opened flat.

Great Book
It's a stitch pattern book, and a really good one. There were stitches I didn't have in any other book and have already made two shawls with stitches from this book. Her book on crochet borders is also top notch, and I would recommend it if you enjoy new stitch patterns.
