SUMMARY- Yes, the book is pricey - but look at all you get. Because these were previously sold as PDFs in her Etsy shop, I've expanded the Table of Contents to include the name of the patterns included here, so you can compare to what you've already bought. I bought most of these as PDFs, and I'm still deliriously happy she put them all in a book. Patterns are diagrammed, and the diagrams are color-coded to aid readability. You also get well broken down written instructions in symbolic notation. And there are tutorials for more advanced techniques that are used in her patterns. Her patterns are beautiful, well presented, and a pleasure to tat. Buy the book. Future generations of tatters will thank you, and you will have a rare and wonderful treasure to show off to new tatters for many years to come.

Robin made her book POD(Print On Demand) at Amazon in both hardcover and softcover in 2021. If you haven't already put out the money for the PDF, I do recommend buying a hardcopy of it for your personal library.
