Summary: My 2nd favorite book on canes and stick making
Review: It's not quite as good as Stick Making, a Complete Course. There are no pictures of the various trees used, but he gives a good description about how and where to get good stick material.
The latter book is more complete, however, listing sources for suppliers. The former does have an appendix of tips, a chapter on judging, and directions for assembling a ring-horn cane (Horn Disc Sticks). In all other respects, I'd say The Craft of Stickmaking is equal to the latter in information, interest, and comprehension, just not as many color pictures, although there are enough black & white pix to illustrate to my satisfaction.
