Based on 10 years of sample exchanges, this is both a pattern book and
a social history. Each of the sixty braids has full instructions
and is accompanied by a page written by the maker, one of 42 braiders
from around the world. The notes are sometimes personal, sometimes
technical, but always interesting, often with details not found
in an everyday textbook.
Useful appendices give suppliers' addresses and an annotated
book list.
