If you can buy only one book about felting, make it this one. It is clear, complete, and inspiring for the beginner and advanced felter. It has great pictures and explanations. Individual and group projects are photographed. Gallery photos of art felt are included. There have been many lovely, wonderful books on felting published since this one, but this is still the best. (Many, many thanks to Pat Spark for translating it into English!)

This is the best book on felting I have seen. It combines historical information with excellent technical advise. The examples of felt projects are fun and useful. If you are going to get one book on felting, this is it!

I was lucky enough to have someone get this book for me as a gift. I have read it through about 5 times, and can't say I've ever owned a book that had this much useful information in so few pages. Most books about felt will be filled with pictures of things made of felt accompanied by vague instructions of how to copy the particular item. This book will teach you all you need to know to explore the full realm of possibilities within the extremely fluid art of wet felting.

If you could only have one book on how to make felt, it would have to be this one.
