Indian BasketWeaving April 5, 2008 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
The book was orginally published in the early 1900's this is apparent by the dialect of the text. The information about the different styles of baskets is very interesting, however the photographs as an aid in constructing them leave something to be desired.
A beautiful little reference for any level basketeer. January 21, 2007 8 out of 8 found this review helpful
This book is a reprint of the original 1903 version. The writing and comments are charmingly dated. The photos are clear, even though in black and white. The instructional drawings are easy to follow. This will be my reference book for great designs for years to come. Great buy.
Clear Directions April 6, 2000 32 out of 34 found this review helpful
This book is great for someone who has a little experience with baskets already. Someone with no experience can follow as well, but some of the techniques are a little bit harder than in standard basket weaving. The instructions are pretty clear, and if you thouroughly read them, then you shouldn't have any trouble. Overall, this book makes a great addition to a basketweaver's library, and I'm glad that I bought it.
