This is well structured and would be very helpful for anyone wondering if they will like this hobby. I was going to say I wish it had at least one or two projects in it as a sample tutorial, but then I saw the book explicitly says it has projects. It does not. But still helpful.

This is a great book for the first time felter! Lots of very clear, basic, step-by-step instructions with helpful photos accompanying each instruction. The book includes some great ideas on how to make first time felting easier as well as less expensive. The author also includes important recommendations on how to protect your body from potential injury from felting and from sitting for long periods. I found the glossary at the back of the book helpful too. Highly recommended!!
