PATTERN RATING:
Patterns are all full sized, there's an interesting variety, and the patterns are well marked - you won't have to spend forever writing the name of the bear on each pattern piece. The pieces sometimes fall into the ditch, though, and you might have a hard time getting an accurate photocopy without damaging the spine of your book.
INSTRUCTION RATING:
Instructions are well broken down, don't assume you know a lot, and have plenty of photos and illustration to support the instructions - I don't think you can get better than that.
