The patterns in the book are mostly for more experience knitters and for those who know how to use Double Pointed Needles.
If you're a beginner and trying out new patterns--this is not the book for you.

Only one pattern that caught my eye, and it's an easy shawl. The book shows beautiful garments, but each is a very simple and boring shape. Not adding this to my collection.
Nice classic designs by one of my favorite pattern designers. I'll probably end up buying this one, eventually.
I don't necc. aesthetically connect with Avery's designs, but I respect this book because she thought carefully about the history of clothing and knitting when she made it. These are thoughtful designs. Now, to be honest, most of them are too damned hard for me--but even if they weren't, again, they're not quite my style. But I do respect this designer and her work.
I have been going through this book for quite a while. The patterns are really nice. I think the title was a bit misleading for me. I was expecting a rehash of classic patterns. Not so. These are patterns are fresh and stylish.
This had some really pretty projects, but not many I'd realistically sit down and knit. Veronik Avery's style coordinates with mine, so there were some designs I liked.
a few wonderful patterns, but a number of them aren't quite to my taste. instructions are clear enough, and nice text to go alongside.

Lots of lovely patterns in here! Not quite talented enough to knit them just yet though.
Beautiful, stylish and classic patterns.
This book is fabulous.
