The Rug Hookers Bible: The Best From 30 Years Of Jane Olsons Ruggers Roundtable

Beautiful reference book for rug hookers.

This book offered a wealth of information and provided options of tools, materials, and techniques. It provides everything you need to know about rug hooking.

This is my favorite rug hooking book, and I believe I own them all. The photographs are beautiful and so helpful, the instructions are clear and the authors go into the kind of detail that is really helpful to beginners like me, and I expect to experienced hookers as well. The two companion DVDs, if you can find them, are amazing and illustrate the beginning chapters beautifully. Learning by watching someone actually do the hooking is even better than reading about it. A lot of books for beginners gloss over some important steps, and you are left wondering how to correctly put the pattern on the frame, or which direction to hold your hook, or how to turn a corner, or how to fill in a little space,etc. I dont mean to imply that the book is at all simplistic, because the later chapters detail quite advanced techniques. I am only saying that it is detailed in a good way, which is very helpful. I expect to use this book for many years to come.

TONS of info and looking forward to getting the time to really read this book.I havent read as much as I would like because of time but I know I wont be sorry I bought this book.

This book was almost new. Thanks

Wonderful info, great pictures, very complete, easy to understand instructions -- and the Olson/Sheperd senses of humor come through!

awesome book, it really helps

Great reference book,

I am new to rug hooking and love it. However, my work was not up to what I had seen my mother and grandmother create. So, I wondered what corrections I needed to make. This book solved my problem with color photos and clear instructions.

Very informative book. A good book to have in your library.
