2.0 out of 5 stars a great ad for Cottage Industry cards and Patrick Green, March 17, 1999
By A Customer
A little disappointing! Some good information but too much sheep care (not the subject of this book) and far too much space extolling the virtures of Cottage Industry carders and Patrick Green's other carders. I'm not used to having to pay to receive advertising!
