Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Designing a Knitwear Collection: From Inspiration to Finished Garment (Paperback)
I think it has too many history pages..practically half the book is on history of knitwear with lots of pictures ...I guess that what you pay for since the book is rather pricy. Overall an excellent book with clear explaination and description.
