1. This book has no illustrations of the techniques described; all it has are verbal descriptions of how to form the stitches, etc., and for a craft book, that's an inexcusable oversight. It is very difficult to explain handwork with words, and the author's descriptions are completely insufficient to the task.2. The author has failed to consider her target audience. Though the book is supposedly for beginner to expert levels, the author skips over many explanations needed to make these techniques clear for less experienced stitchers.3. When describing each stitch, the author refers the reader to the photographs of finished pieces--unfortunately the photos are of such poor quality that it's difficult to see any detail, and as the projects have no keys to help you tell which section or line is which, it's often difficult to tell which part of the project the text refers to.
