4.0 out of 5 stars Clear Directions, April 6, 2000

By A Customer

This book is great for someone who has a little experience with baskets already. Someone with no experience can follow as well, but some of the techniques are a little bit harder than in standard basket weaving. The instructions are pretty clear, and if you thouroughly read them, then you shouldn't have any trouble. Overall, this book makes a great addition to a basketweaver's library, and I'm glad that I bought it.

4.0 out of 5 stars A beautiful little reference for any level basketeer., January 21, 2007

By	Gourtrude "cktahoe" (Tahoe City, CA USA) - See all my reviews

This book is a reprint of the original 1903 version. The writing and comments are charmingly dated. The photos are clear, even though in black and white. The instructional drawings are easy to follow.
This will be my reference book for great designs for years to come.
Great buy.

3.0 out of 5 stars Indian BasketWeaving, April 5, 2008

By	D. Beran (Sarasota, fl) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The book was orginally published in the early 1900's this is apparent by the dialect of the text. The information about the different styles of baskets is very interesting, however the photographs as an aid in constructing them leave something to be desired.
