Not only the best, but the ONLY book you will ever need.
I have been using Verna's book and videos for the past 4 years and find them to be EXTREMELY easy to follow. I have braided many rugs following her helpful instruction. In my opinion her book and her videos are ALL you will ever need to braid beautiful rugs that will last a lifetime.

Not for the absolute beginner
This book was a disappointment. I found it impossible to understand from a beginner's point of view. There are no logical explanations of things like what fabrics can be used, how the strips should be made, etc. It seems to me that this book is aimed at those who already have an understanding of how braided rugs are made. The language and instructions are not clear...

This book was a disappointment. I found it impossible to understand from a beginner's point of view. There are no logical explanations of things like what fabrics can be used, how the strips should be made, etc. It seems to me that this book is aimed at those who already have an understanding of how braided rugs are made. The language and instructions are not clear and the hand-drawn illustrations don't help. I'd suggest checking out other books, as I will, for the complete beginner. I'm returning this one.

Not recommended,
This review is from: The Illustrated Guide to Rug Braiding (Paperback)
I found that this book was not helpful to understand how to braid rugs as a beginner. The instructions are not very clear on how exactly to complete a project. The book contains drawings that are not related to step by step instructions. I could not find any step by step instructions, just mostly illustrations of the types of braided rugs that can be made.
This book is definitely an "illustrated guide" - but not helpful for an absolute beginner. I'll be searching for other step by step resources
