A very helpful book. It has illustrations and explainations for left and right-handed crocheters and shows everything you need to know to get started if you are a beginner or to change over to using UK crochet terminology. It will be a reference work on my shelves for a long time to come.

I learnt to crochet from this book and refer back to it every time I forget. It has the best instructions and diagrams and is basically perfect.
