Book review


I was dying to have it and finally I bought this book over at Book depository.
The thing I like the most is that they don’t charge any shipping costs. You just pay for the book and that’s it. Wonderful!
PROS:
1) Spiral bound book, comfortable to glance trough.
2) Easy to read and use. Clear large colorful photos, large diagrams and well written instructions.
3) Creative and unusual. Lots and lots of new motifs here in all sorts of shapes: triangles, circles, hexagons, "weird" shapes... Well organized layout by shapes.
4) Nice introduction with hints for use.
5) The first half of the book is not dedicated to learning how to crochet but yes, there are charts and a few reminders, and even a glossary, but it's not overdone.
CONS:
OK, not so many cons. I love this book.I wish there were photos of projects, completed ones. Yes, the book will inspire you, and there are a few pages with cutesy, colored ink drawings, but no actual photos of projects.

Anyway, if you're looking for a book that will inspire you, this one is a safe choice.
I hope you'll find this review useful if you consider buying it.

    Hvala ti puno puno na preporuci za kupovanje knjiga ubuduće, cijene mi se čine odlične, pogotovo s obzirom da nema poštarine :)
    Super si literaturu sa shemama odabrala, drago mi je ako će te još dugo inspirirati i motivirati na heklanje ;) Lila kvadratek je predivan!

    Odlična preporuka za knjigu, mogla bih je kupiti mojoj prijateljici kao poklon za rođendan, ona radi ovakve ljepote kao i ti.
    Hvala ti baš si mi pomogla:)
    Sviđa mi se tvoj današnji rad i boja, krasno!

    Šaljem ti veliki pozdrav s mora.

    Opet je dobra knjiga, bez razlika da nema gotove proizvode. za mene bolje je da imas knjigu koje imas tehnike i takve stvari nego gotove proizvode. Po neko vreme primetis da ne treba ti knjiga sa gotove proizvode zato sto kad imas vise iskustvo onda vidis nesto na sliku i znas odprilike kako da napravis sama to, samo ti treba da znas koja tehnika da koristis.
