I think this book is great. She shows lots of great color photos of rag rugs, and then in the back has lots of "projects" which show the completed rug and have very good detailed instructions, like warp calculations, and tie-up and drafts, all you need to know to make the rug, just like it's pictured. But all the photos give ideas on how to customize the rug to be exactly what you want. Also the author gives a good introductory history of rag rugs chapter, and tells all about how great, beautiful, and functional rag rugs are. I also can't say enough good things about this book. The best rag rug weaving book I've ever seen.

This is a book of pure inspiartion and aspiration. I loved the color images and the new and traditional options available to the handweaver. I can't say enough good things about this.

The book arrived in great condition and the price was good. I love the opportunity to buy used books which arrive very quickly.
