A gorgeous instructive and inspiring book. So much generous sharing of information here, and the illustrations just make you want to get out there and start collecting for your own basket. The information given in the book lends itself to being able to adapt to countries that don't have much of the species growing naturally... example Australia.
I've made baskets in the past and was looking for a book that gave me back that same impetus to be inspired but also find my own way. And this is the book for me.
