This is the most comprehensive book on tablet weaving i have read so far! Two points only prevent me from giving it a five star rating. The first is that, in the kindle edition, the details of the photographic illustrations cannot be made out and the author relies heavily on photographs of braids to explain his techniques. The second is that the author himself considers advanced techniques such as doubleweave to be pointless as they can be achieved more easily with different weaving techniques (using heddles presumably). Find a print version if you can!
