After weeks of trying to find somewhere to purchase "The Crochet Stitch Bible" by Betty Barnden ( The Crochet Stitch Bible ) I came across this book, which is actually a reprint of the above mentioned book, at a fraction of the price! It is identical to the Crochet Stitch Bible except that it is not spiral bound! It contains so much information regarding crochet and stitches and is a major companion for anyone who is interested in learning crochet or wants to move ahead and try new stitches and designs. Hope this helps XxX

I had 3 other books from the library but I couldn't work out how to crochet. I looked at several books in a craft shop and the pictures in this one helped me the most. It does not use jargon straight away like many other 'simple' books and the layout is simple and easy to follow. It really did teach me to crochet!

Of all the crochet books i've seen, i would definately recommend this one! This book was so helpful! there are pages and pages of crochet stitches - each with sample images, patterns and easy to follow instructions. The book also has an intro to show all the different stitches so if you get stuck doing one pattern, you can refer back to the intro. Also has a selection of crochet trims to learn and instruction on how to change colour yarn etc. Great book!! Didn't think i could ever learn how to crochet, but I've done it!
I'm not sure how helpful this is to a more advanced knitter but there are many fantastic stitches and a great reference book.
