Excellent sewing reference book

This book is one of my 2 favorite reference books because it tells you and shows you with excellent pictures how to sew so very well. If I can't remember what it should look like then I go to my books and it tells me how to do it but shows what it show look like which it vital to sewing. This book is always by my side and I'm buying it for my nephew who wants to learn how to sew.
