3.0 out of 5 stars Needs More Detail, August 30, 2000

By A Customer

I bought this book on the urging of a friend. I think that the information is really good but I don't feel that there's enough step by step information for the beginner. I do, however, like the great deal of helpful hints. I just wish that the technique section did not look like it was drawn on a very old computer. I find some of the techniques very hard to follow due to the lack of quality picts.

I especially don't like the basket designs. The book does not have a detailed (close up) photograph of the finished product. After weaving, you can't see enough detail to compare your work to the author's (other weavers).

I prefer Lyn Siler books. They have a great deal more detail of the finished product.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good instruction for Beginning to Advanced Weavers, April 6, 2000

By A Customer

As an intermediate weaver, I would recommend this book to weavers from beginning to advanced. I especially liked the thorough diagrams, advice for dyeing, the nice borders, and, of course, the finished products. If you like original basketry, you'll love this book.

1.0 out of 5 stars Addicted to Baskets, December 10, 2002

By	Shirley Jensen (Richland, WA United States) - See all my reviews

This book has fuzzy pictures, it seems to me hurridly written, with supposedly "original" baskets, but these baskets are the most common type with maybe one little difference to call it "original." I have made one basket from this book, just to get my money's worth, and the book is already falling apart. I have many basket weaving books, and this is probably my least favorite.
