5.0 out of 5 stars something for almost everyone, 13 Feb 2008
I'm a great collector of afghan patterns, but this one will become a favourite. From the complex colour of the cover pattern to fast, big hook,thick/ multiple ply yarn designs, there's something here to please the adventurous, the classicist, and those in a hurry.
The patterns include several single colour, textured designs, including a lovely celtic cable. There are a few that use different qualities of yarn in one pattern( mohair and ribbon for instance) and a some that have elaborate block designs. There are many that are rated as easy enough for a beginner, none are really difficult.
US books often have overtly patriotic designs that I resent paying for, but this book has only one, and no cutesy designs specifically aimed at children. I found only two designs here that I really disliked, mostly these are attractive useful patterns that would be appropiate as gifts for all ages .

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful book, clearly written, excellent value, 27 May 2009
This book is a visual treat, and like one of the other reviewers, I found that there are only a couple of the patterns that I didn't like. If I had to pay a euro (or dollar) for each of the 50 patterns, the book would still be excellent value. The photography is beautifully done, making it easy to see how the stitches should look, and making for an inspiring read. This is a book you could leave on your coffee table for people to enjoy leafing through. Anyone who has ever crocheted at any point in their lives will be moved to pick up their hook and yarn and get busy.

There's a page in the back with a reminder (i.e. drawings and text) about the various stitch types, for those whose crochet skills have got a little rusty. The patterns are written in American crochet terminology, but if you're not accustomed to that, don't worry, because there's a conversion table in the back that gives the British equivalents.

5.0 out of 5 stars 50 sensational crochet Afghans & Throws, 2 Jun 2009
By Kofoed P. Helle (Fagerfors, Sweden) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I just bought this book myself because I love to crochet, and I just love it. There are so many wonderful projects in it to make and the only problem will be where to begin. There are great color pictures for all the projects and I think that there will be something here for everyone. I am very pleased with this book and I am sure that you will be too.
