I was very excited about getting this book in the post. There are some fantastic designs, and it's really inspiring to see the variety of styles that can be worked in crochet. The photos are also beautiful. However, I have started making one of the pieces, and unfortunately, there seem to be some errors and omissions in the instructions. I'm hoping I'll be able to work out how to overcome these, but it means that it's definitely not a book for beginners.

This is a gorgeous book and has really revitalised my enthusiasm for crochet but it does have at least one serious error within the pattern for 'Magical Wave stole'. It's so disappointing to be a good way through a new project - using a brand new technique - only to be faced with the choice of unpicking hours of work to start again from a diagram (because the written pattern is wrong) or try and compensate for the error, botch it and carry on. Either way, I can't quite recapture the excitement I had for this project.
The patterns are, for the most part, really quite involved so it's not easy to spot a mistake in the pattern. I'd still recommend because it is an inspiring book with beautiful photographs and interesting biographies of both the crafters and their techniques, but proceed with caution when starting a project.

I bought this with Amazon vouchers & it arrived this morning. Since then I have done nothing but read it & be inspired. It is wonderful to learn of new techniques as I have been crocheting for quite a few years & love something new. This certainly hits the spot. It would be an inspiration to those who have experience in crochet, those beginners wishing to know what they can hope to progress to with practice & the medium stage crocheters who want a change & are not afraid to try one. Each technique is written by an expert in that field, has instructions on that particular method & a pattern. Not everyone of these appeals to me but there is info. on availability of more of these patterns. The photography is excellent & the diagrams clear.,making this a dream of a book. I can't wait to start , the only problem is what first? A great use of my vouchers & an ideal birthday present.!
