Here is the most comprehensive book on baskets ever published. Embracing all that the wholesome weaving world has to offer, this lavishly illustrated tome will take you on a journey into the heart of baskets. Discover examples of history's finest baskets, from ancient times all the way up to modern day. Guiding you on your journey are the Ladies of the New England Basket Weavers Association. An energetic bunch, they are as varied as the baskets they weave. Some weave as a hobby. Some weave to put food on the table. Some are old. Some are young. But all of them are complete bitches. It's up to you to decide who is who and who will survive the inevitable grudge-match and battle of egos which will more than likely tear the fabric of the club apart like a pack of nasty wolves. The format of the book is in the oral tradition. Editor Lacey Noonan has kept the text in its original, conversational form. Just like the baskets discussed, the talk is lively, the talk is in-depth, the talk is interwoven with violent innuendo and blood-boiling baskety rhetoric. So hop aboard the Basket Train. Next stop: Baskets! As Madge Beaverworth says in her wonderful introduction: "Baskets, baskets, baskets!"
