Format:Hardcover-spiral
This book comes with spiral binding, separate pattern sheets, photos and drawings.
More photos of the bags details - especially of the inside - would have been nice.
Also over all more visual guidance would be helpful rather than plenty of written instructions.
Still a nice book with lots of differnt types and sizes of bags.

Format:Hardcover-spiral
This book looks gorgeous, is good quality and the pictures are beautifully shot. The trouble is that I just don't find the patterns particularly inspiring. Several of the bags are huge, most require home dec fabric (and loads of it) which makes them expensive to make and quite a high proportion of the patterns look terrifyingly complicated. I much prefer Lisa Lam's Bag Making Bible, which is a fab general guide to bag making, or Making Vintage Bags which has lots of cute little bags. I adored Amy Butler's previous book, Little Stitches, but was a bit disappointed with this. 3 stars may be a bit low - it is probably more of a 3.5 - but I had high expectations for this book and they were not really met.
