This is a perfect book. The content is clear, concise, accurate, and hilarious. The illustrations are exactly what you need to figure out what's going on. The size and font are adorable. I have the 1st edition, 1974.
I feel less scared of my loom and yarns.

One of the early and excellent books for teaching all the necessary steps for warping a loom front-to-back or back-to-front, loom setup and troubleshooting tips.

This is a well-crafted book on technique, filled with valuable insights. While it primarily focuses on front-to-back warping methods, I prefer back-to-front warping for my small Baby Wolf loom. Despite this difference, the book offers many excellent tips that I plan to incorporate into my weaving.

I haven't finished winding on (I don't have any of the sticks she mentions!) but I have read the whole thing and it all seems clear and easy! Warping following these instructions has been very enjoyable so far.
Edit: After completing an entire weaving: this was great, clear and easy like I said. The few little problems in understanding that I did have were entirely cleared up by the time I was winding bobbins to start the actual weaving. Now I have to try again with something more complex than a tabby.
Edit 2: this book is so nice honestly! Fully recommend both book and method, I have not been stressed at any part of this besides the part when I miscalculated how much yarn I already had which is not the book's fault.

Where there is a warp there is a way
I was made aware of this book by Cay Garrett through advertisements in Spinoff magazine. If you are just now diving into the world of weaving this book will get you off the ground with a proven method and help, take the mystery out of warping all by yourself “on any loom, any width, any combination of yarns, with even tension.”
If you are an old pro, then you realize that everyone has their particular tricks or methods and that there is no one best way to warp other than your hybrid method.
The visual part of this book is hand-drawn monochrome illustrations that have the theory's zoom-in displays for precise visual demonstrations.
