Lots of valuable information. Glad I purchased it.

Great reference book,

VERY PLEASED -- THANKS ELAINE

This is the most awesome, complete and clear rug hooking book you could find. Gene Shepherd its absolutely amazing!!! The book is full of close-up pictures showing all the basic techniques, step by step, with detailed explanations. A bit of history is also included as well as different styles of hooking the same motif. Theres a big section with directions, color photos and diagrams of the most common designs in rugs, like flowers, fruits and landscapes. It also includes a pattern of roses in original size. Its a wonderful book, full of tips and lovely designs. If I had bought it earlier Id have saved a lot of money, this is by far the best Ive read. If you want to buy just one book this is the one!

This Bible is a wonderful resource for the basics, as well as advanced hooking and dyeing techniques. As a beginner, I was surprised to learn of all the variations in design, composition, and color shading possible. It covers both primitive technique and precision hooking in great detail. This is the one to buy. Id also bought Purely Primitive, and it was just that--the very, very basics. I learned alot more from The Rug Hookers Bible.

The first 3 chapters alone are worth the purchase if you are a new rug hooker. The remainder of the book is a very good reference.

I really liked this book there was lots of good information and it was nicely laid out. It was very helpful.

Very informative for a starter
