Some wonderful sweaters in this book and invaluable information on construction and technique. However, the book is (in my opinion) marred by devoting an inordinate amount of space to some really ugly, complex, and ill-designed colourwork: a sweater with an oversized and idiotic looking sunface emblazoned across the entire garment and an over-complex phoenix with so many swirls it actually makes me queasy to look at it (the sensation is of incipient motion sickness). The charts for these monstrosities take up page after page. There is enough value in the remainder of the book, however, that it's worth purchasing if you don't have to pay a premium price for it.
