SUMMARY- There's always a lot of eye candy in BHG books and special interest magazines. I don't think you can ever be disappointed with an impulse buy of one of their craft publications. This is one of their potpourri of disciplines compilations, and covers a lot of territory. I had to go through it page by page in order to get a useful Table of Contents, and was pooped by the time I got to the list of designers tucked far away from their projects in the back of the book. If you are looking for specific designers and need to know if they are in this book, email me from my contact page, and I'll pull it and look for you. Mom had a second smaller booklet tucked in the back of this one, and it doesn't appear to be patterns for this book, so it may have been a bonus booklet? It's got a pink cover with a filet crochet heart ring pillow w/ red ruffle and lovebird motif on the cover, titled "Tokens of Affection."
