Summary: A reasonably good book
Review: This book has a nice variety of figures in a good range of difficulties. The illustrations are generally quite clear. The written directions, while acceptable, are not as clear as in some other string figure books I've used. My major problem with the book is that the authors did not see fit to include written directions for some of the later figures, and they needed it. The pictures are clear when backing up the words, but cannot stand alone nearly as well. Aside from this, I liked the book.

Summary: Getting started with String games and designs
Review: This book has unique designs to create and explains each movemnt step by step. The designs are creative and will keep anyone entertained for long periods of time as they try to master these string games. The only problem I found was that the various designs required different lengths of string. I ended up making my own string lengths and they work out just fine.
