Review: This book gives you a quick overview of tie-dyeing. It provides you with directions, five designs with color pictures and, best of all, sources for tie-dyeing. I read it in one night and was on-line ordering products.

Summary: Tie Dye-The How to Book
Review: This book has excellent illustrations on how to tie-dye but I was disappointed that there were no pictures illustrating the final product. For someone with limited knowledge of tie-dying, I had to guess what the project would look like after it was completed. Otherwise, it is a very helpful guide.

Summary: excellent for beginners
Review: This book was an excellent how-to book for beginners. I found the diagrams of how to tie the fabric very helpful. Great for school teachers, or camp because it also contains alot of history and origens of tie dye. This book gives specific directions and ingredients essential to successfull tie-dye.

Summary: Best starter book
Review: This book was the best starter book I've found on tie-dye. The steps are easy to follow and many resources are given on creating great tie-dye from scratch. I've met the author at craft festivals where they show the clothes. They are amazing people and create incredible artwork. Better than anything out there. The eldest son just inherited the business and I look forward to what new things they create. Their company is Harmony Enterprises and are located at: http://harmonytie-dyes.com

Summary: Good, but not good enough
Review: Virginia has a good starter book for tie-dye, but like the majority of tie-dye content - only skims the surface. I prefer Jacquard's "Tie Dye To Die For & Batik You Can't Resist" book at $5.95 vs. this how-to book. To be fair, I would purchase it to see her lovely tie-dye work, but as a "how-to" I might look elsewhere.
