You might not need this book

You might not need this book unless you travel with your sewing machine and you don't already have the big pink version of this book. It is a good book and if you're a serious sewer you'll find a use for it. Like when you're sewing on the way to work or something.

Great Quick Reference

Easy to use since its spiral bound. Nice format. This book has everything that the larger book has except for Advanced Personal Alterations, Tailoring, and I think dealing with Special Fabrics. I end up getting the larger book even though its a little harder to use because its bound like a regular book but I wanted the advanced techniques. This version still has information on making patterns fit your body so I would recommend it for people who dont need the super advanced techniques.
