The book is the bomb. But I received it a bit damaged, the outer covering was torn a 1/4 length.
It gives me a foundation, something to fall back on when i am stuck.

Great book for beginners!
As a beginner, I have been overwhelmed with the information that can be found online and wanted to find a comprehensive guide about sewing. Before buying it, I have been pretty much self-taught and have tried to work on some easier patterns (which would not go as expected).After buying this book, I haven't started a new project without looking into how elements of the pattern should be done. In my opinion, this book is a great beginner book that shows step-by-step how to achieve certain techniques.I am very happy that I bought it, and would without a doubt recommend it to other beginners.If you're more skilled, this might be a little to basic for you, but you can still use it as a guide on how to achieve certain things as the book is split into beautiful sections that make it easy to find what you need.

Surprisingly in-depth and useful, and full of visuals!
Not only is this a quality made book, but it's full of beautiful and useful visuals that really drive home the techniques and lessons the book teaches. I've been through a few sewing books and was disappointed at most of them. This is probably the best sewing book I could find for any beginner. In fact, even people who have mastered the basics could learn from this book. It has some great projects in it and has a picture or illustration to accompany every detail - super important to someone who learns visually like me!

Fantastic book
At least for a rookie like me this is a fantastic book, it covers everything, and it is all described in both text and clear color photos, they explain all kinds of sewing subjects and after each one you get an example of how to use it in the real world. They explain different kinds of fabrics, how to interpret a sewing pattern, how to use different seams, how to use interfacing and on it goes, you can find pretty much anything in this book, again a fantastic book.
