SUMMARY- Patterns are very well broken down and easy to read. Notation is a combination of symbol and written. The diagrams are done in multiple colors and line thicknesses to help the tatter. The photos are large and crystal clear - you can just about count the stitches for yourself - I really don't think you can get better than that! Oh, and it doesn't hurt that Mr. Fikkert is a truly exquisite designer.
