Best Crochet Resource for the Dollar

This book is actually a compilation of materials from Jan Eaton and others. So, the text and instruction is excellent. I have many crochet books, and this one is my favorite. I learned how to do Tunisian crochet using it, and it has some of my favorite Eaton stitch patterns in it. As far as instructional, I thought it did an excellent job. No book will be as good as having a private instructor, but this comes close. I had no trouble understanding the instructions, and I thought the photos were as good as any other book on the market, with the added bonus that it features instructions for Tunisian crochet and has a beautiful stitch library. Also, the binding lays flat, so you can set it down while trying it out. If you have trouble learning from texts, I'd suggest a video or DVD usually available at your local public library. Oh, and I thought the instruction in the book clearer than that of Teach Yourself Visually Crocheting.
