If you are looking for basic, simple scarves, and nothing more, this may be the book for you. But for me, the only thing I found of interest were the flowers on the cover. It's by no means a bad book, but I'm looking to take my crocheting beyond the basics. If you are a beginner, or are more zen than I am in crafting, you may want to take a look at this title.
