Good but vague
Good little read, but i was hoping it was a more practical book. Each craft is visited very briefly and more of a description rather than instruction. But thats just a personal thing and if you're looking to reminisce or even doing a project, and you can get it cheap, it's worth a readVerified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
