I own this book in hardbound and use it all of the time for projects, so I was pleased to find the super price on the paperbound version at Overstock and have purchased it as a gift for a friend. This is one of the very best of the crochet books available. The pattern photos give a clear idea of each design and the design diagrams make pattern overviews easy. The written instructions back up the photo and diagram and what is more important.....every pattern that I have used from this book has turned out! The front of the book has stitch instructions and an explanation of the international crochet symbols ( in case the user is not already familiar with this super easy and useful type of pattern reading). Patterns range from very easy/ simple to the fantasticly beautiful complex and are grouped by type (shells, lace, clusters,bobbles,v-stitch etc....) with an overview pictoral gallery in the front. For those who purchase this and discover how wonderful it is, you should know that Lind...
