4.0 out of 5 stars at last, October 5, 2000
By A Customer
After waiting some time for the release of this book I was both presently surprised and at the same time slightly disappointed.I would definately recommend this book to a beginner of braiding as the reading is interesting and the diagrams easy to follow. The only disappointment is that more than half of the braids pictured are for looking at only. No instructions!!!!How frustrating. None of the braids on the front and back covers are included in the instructions. The basic braiding techniques for all are obviously in the book but if I could work out for myself how to achieve them why would I have sent half way round the world for a book???

5.0 out of 5 stars Pricing, February 7, 2007
I'm sorry but the price that you pay offered by sellers vs. what you could pay for at a regular book or Amazon.com is selfexplanetory. If you've ever gotten this book from from the Library & seen the price at the lower left-hand corner of the book, it's @ three less(@ [...] in regular stores) than the price [...]that the sellers are offering.

I know that times may be hard, but if you wanna sell something quickly like this, you price the item at either the cost of the book or less. Otherwise, you'll have a tough time selling it at all. I can find it cheaper on ebay or halfpricedbooks than here.
