This is a wonderful book, but be careful. It is the same book as the hardcover that Amazon is listing as a great book to get WITH this one. They have the same title, but the cover changed with the paperback.

I have books by Graham Rust, Candace Bahouth, Kaffe Fassett, Beth Russell among other notable designers in needlepoint and this is the only one that I want to do every design in the book. The charts are easy to read, with symbols in addition to being colored. I wouldn't recommend it for a true beginner, but it is a fantastic book.

For those who want designs for flowers this book has many wonderful ideas to follow, I am sure that I will be using it often.

I am very pleased with this book. The designs are very beautiful and colorful. I have purchased books in the past that did not inspire me to begin a project like this book.

I was absolutely delighted when this book arrived. Not only are the designs superb, the general layout of the book is excellent too. There are full page close ups, so that you get a really good feel for exactly how the tapestry will look. The instructions and graphs are very clear and the photography is beautiful. I highly recommend this book.

This book was not quite what i was looking for. The other reviews made it sound like it had a larger selection to choose from.

I really like Elian's artwork in needlepoint. She has a good sense of combining colours to bring out the most beautiful floral display. This book was not a disappointment. There are already a few projects that I would like to complete some day. It really is one of my favorite needlepoint book.
