Good review for experienced crocheters too
Great explanations and pictures for the beginner to learn to crochet. Pictures are in color. A great review for taking up crocheting again. Several practice projects are included with photos of the finished item. I would recommend this informative book to beginning to intermediate levels.

Kindle version
A little difficult reading or following directions print too small. But overall good read for a beginner. I will seek out YouTube demonstrations for more detail look.

Best book so far
I've downloaded lots of "how to crochet" books and deleted most of them. This one, however, speaks in simple terms and includes pictures as well. I will certainly check out some other books by Ms. Cousins.
