to weave, or not to weave, November 14, 2008
This review is from: The Guide to Basket Weaving: Creative Weaving with Coconut Palms (Spiral-bound)
Please do not waste you money on this one. The photos showing the weaving process are too small and too poorly lighted to be of much good. There are several types of baskets listed in the table of contents but they are only 4 baskets that are truely different. In other words, there is some variation on a theme, but really only 4 true types. If you are a weaver of beginning level, you will have a great deal of difficulty learning anything from this book. If you are an advanced weaver, you will find this book simply annoying. It is a pretty book at first glance and nicely printed, but the publisher should have insisted that the money effort go into better photos and well written instructions. The author should have had the photographer that shot the cover also shoot the step-by-step instructional photos inside the book instead of using his brother's photos. Any other palm frond weaving book would be a better buy than this one.
