This is a great and easy to use book by the extremely knowledgable needleworker, Hope Hanley. This softcover book provides detailed information for the beginning and advanced needlepointer on a wide variety of stitches. Of special interest is a four page reference section where stitches are listed according to their use as a background, filling, detail, quick to stitch, slow to stitch and best canvas. If you are looking for a great, inexpensive and user friendly guide to needlepoint, this is it! I highly recommend this book to the new needlepointer and the experienced stitcher as well.

I bought this book for a reference, and it is great. The examples are clear, and include suggestions for best use. I like to suggestions about materials, canvas, and needles.

This book does an excellent job of explaining stitches. For the first time, I undersand how to do a basketweave stitch. That alone is worth the price of the book!! The only reason I didn't give this book 5 stars is because the examples of the completed stitches are in black and white. This and the chucky yarn makes it difficult to see the finished stitch.

Good book for beginners. Covers lots of stitches....wish it had more on finishing projects.

This book was exactly what I hope it would be showing clear illustrations of a large number of needlepoint stitches. I would recommend it to others.

Good reference book to have for needlepoint stitches. Samples of the completed stitch are OK; they are black and white photo's making it difficult to see the detail; but the explanation of how to do the stitch is great. Good reference book for needlepointers.

I ordered several used books from Amazon and was exceptionally pleased at their condition, the swift delivery and the product itself. Would recommend to anyone to order via Amazon

Was looking for a supplemental stitch reference. This is an oversized book that is black and white print & photos only, making it difficult to view/use the stitching diagrams. It really isn't necessary to be oversized as almost 50% of the space is blank. For $9.95, I'll keep but would recommend looking for another book if you're an experienced needlepointer.

My book came in good shape, as described on Amazon. It did take a long time to get it - I imagine that is the vagaries of the US Mail.
