SUMMARY- There's only one pattern in this book (for a very rudimentary ragdoll), and the instructions are one page simple tutorials. You get a black and white picture giving an example of the doll with the instructions. The instructions take up more than half the book, but it's the first half of the book that is the most interesting. I enjoyed looking at all the dolls made in different eras and materials.
