Crochet Stitch Bible

[i'mhooked]

Does anybody have the Crochet Stitch Bible by Betty Barnden? I am thinking on buying it and want to know if it is worth the cost. Any reviews of this book would be helpful!

I just got it, and so far its really helpful and really easy to understand

There is a review in this thread http://www.crochetville.org/forum/showthread.php?t=70974

 

I have checked it out from the library and found it to be a good book. It is a convenient size and is easy to use because it is spiral bound.

 

There are (IMO ) other books (Harmony Guides) that have more stitches, and that have a greater volume of info overall (Donna Kooler's Encyclopedia of Crochet) but they are not as easy to open flat or hold on your lap while crocheting

I bought it last week and think it is great! Very clear to understand. There are both written instructions and graphs for each stitch. I waited until I had a coupon from my bookstore and got it for $15 bucks. Well worth it in my opinion.

Hello! I nearly fell over when I found one in the local book store on the discount table about 2 weeks ago. I paid $12.00 Australian for it. I am a sucker for books like these and I dont often find them here. I also have a very old book with lots of stitches, but the bible is a good size, and I like the detail in the sample swatches. I dont think there was anything in it that I didnt have in another publication, but the instructions are clear and it is nice to look at.

I think it's great. Ireally like the binder style of it, the pics are clear, the instructions make sense and it even shows you the graph stitches for all of it.

I just had another look. I also like the one pattern to a page and the graph below the photo.
