Summary: Ultimate Serger Answer Guide
Review: I agree with the Sew News editor, who states on the cover: "This book should come with every serger purchased." Close-up photography and to-the-point tips show you how to solve just about any problem, no matter what your serger brand, model or vintage. If you own a serger, or are thinking of buying one (shopping guidelines are also included), buy this book. (By the way, I own several other serging books by Naomi Baker and Gail Brown, and this is new information not repeated in those other books.)

Summary: Solid Reference Book
Review: Let me first start by saying I think this is a good book to have, but I don't think it should be your first or only book to have. It is an excellent reference....especially for the beginner or less experienced serger. (but would also be a worthwhile investment for someone more advanced)The book is easily read and has excellent pictures and diagrams. It is soley a problem solver and not a technique teacher (which is why I don't think it should be your only reference book if you are new to serging). This book has an awesome reference sheet on page 79 if you are looking to buy a serger (upgrading or buying for the first time).

Summary: The Ultimate Serger Answer Guide
Review: This book is totally focussed on troubleshooting serger problems. It has good pictures and great solutions to correct all types of problems. It is a wonderful resource to have on hand because it addresses many situations that other books might not. I am glad I bought it and highly recommend this book. Also keep in mind that this book is a great supplement for your other serger books.

Summary: ho hum
Review: this book was a major disappointment. there are very few pages, ugly illustrations, and there should have been more information, such as threading. it is basically a trouble shooting guide for tensions, and it looks very good for that, but "ultimate" it isn't.

Summary: Excellent info on buying and care & feeding of sergers
Review: This is the book that persuaded me that I could profitably use a serger, and that I could deal with whatever gremlins showed up (I'd heard serger horror stories for years-- people having to go to dealers to rethread machines, etc.) But with the clear checklist of features of various sorts of sergers, I figured out what I was going to want to look for when I "test drove" sergers... and picked out a serger I've been very happy with. And the troubleshooting tips (the bulk of the book) have saved me much frustration. One of the cheapest and most valuable serger accessories you'll buy.
