Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

My review differs somewhat from the others. Yes the book has wonderful photos; and, yes, the binding allows the pages to lie flat; and, yes, the text is clearly written. However, the instructions for knitting 2 socks on 1 circular needle take up only (to be generous) 18 pages out of 143 in the book. I would have preferred many more pages of instructions with larger and clearer photographs (as well as longer and better explanations), sacrificing a few of the sock patterns which one can find in every sock book nowadays. Also, I was extremely disappointed to find that the only explanation and all the patterns are for traditional top-down heel/gusset type socks...with no explanations given on how to work toe-up or short-row heel socks (which was primarily what I was looking for). Thus, although it is a pretty book, it is offers me little new advice (except perhaps a few paragraphs for casting on and managing cables for 2 socks) over what I've already learned from Sarah Hauschka's "The Magic Loop" pamphlet. I am disappointed in this book.
