Fabulous.... one of the best books I have found on crochet

it covers all the basics and then tons of stitches so you can go off and create on your own or just trim a project. Definately the one to get if you are starting out as they give great explainations and pictures to learn from. This is one of the two I always recommend to crocheters as a fundamental to have.... the other is the crochet stitch bible.

A must have reference!

What a wonderful book! Whether you're a new crocheter or one with a lot of experience, this book is FABULOUS!!! Not only does it contain instructions -- clear, concise instructions -- on how to do just about every stitch and motif imaginable, but there are PICTURES every step of the way! That's right, COLOR pictures!! If you're like me and occasionally find even the clearest of written instructions to be cryptic and need a picture for clarification, then this book is perfect!

Very close-up pictures!!!

I have crocheted for over 30 years and there is some steps that I have never heard of--working with beading, jacquard, and more. The best part is that has close-up pictures of every step.
