Nancy is one of our preeminent sock knitters. This is a good, solid book, chock-full of a variety of socks and methods, from plain to fancy. Nice hardcover, spiral bound for easy use, and relatively portable, but not very thick or heavy, so a good traveler. :)
A really nice collection of sock patterns. Clear instructions make this one a winner.
