Format:Hardcover
This was nothing like what I expected it to be. It is very thin which means it can not possibly cover very much. It may be suitable for either someone who is not going to take a deep interest in sewing or an expert who merely needs a reference. If you want a real Encyclopedia I recommend the Reader's Digest 'New complete guide to sewing.'

I found this book a bit disappointing in that although a lot of subjects were covered there were no photos and nothing was covered in real depth. I would recommend a beginner to buy Singer Complete Guide to Sewing.
