Title: A Treasure to Peruse and Use
Review: This book is a treasure. The black and white basket photos are inspiring, so much so, emphasizing pattern, that when LaPlantz later shows some of the same baskets in full color, the baskets seem to loose some of their power. This book is for intermediate to advanced weavers, and it's of great benefit to those who are looking for something challenging to weave. There are no patterns in the book, but LaPlantz gives the name of the pattern and weaver of every basket whose weaver and pattern are known, so you could go online, find the pattern, and buy it. Weaving just one of these baskets should keep you occupied for a long time! While there are no patterns, there are many diagrams, so that you can see what you're doing with the twill you're weaving. A very worthwhile basket book.
