Weaving,

This review is from: Design Collection #20 (Handwoven Design Collection) (Paperback)
This only gets three stars, as it looks like it's a bigger book than it is. It is very thin, thinner than a magazine. Was a bit disappointed in it. However, the seller is not at fault in that; they got it to me "right quick" so am happy about that.
