This book would be fabulous if the diagrams were more clear. Even looking at the cast on and knitting method that I already use, I found the diagram quite hard to interpret. Still, it has nice big pictures and lots of information. It's very fun to look through and get ideas or possibly some clarification.
I do think that "Knitspeak" is a better "dictionary" for deciphering patterns, but this one can be great for techniques.
