It's not a carving book. It's a whittling book. These are little things that you can sit and whittle in your garden, on a picnic, round a campfire.
Nicely laid out and explained. Loads of information but delivered in a style that means the stuff you need is easy to pick out.
He just goes to show that when carving and whittling a small simple knife is all you need. Plus the wood of course.

For someone new to whittling, or an experienced carver who needs a refresher course, or fresh ideas, this book is is an ideal fix. It gives the novice all the basics, and the intermediate, new ideas and, maybe a different perspective.
Certainly a choice for a little light reading, which opens up options
