To tell you the truth I was very disapointed. I tried to follow the instructions given and I was not able to start knitting. In the end, I had to find someone to teach me to start knitting.
So it might be useless book.
Rating:  - Taught me how to knit!

Rating: - great book for beginners!
I was given this book when I started knitting and I just bought a copy for my sister in - law. the pictures and instructions are clear and easy to follow.
Rating: - A great resource
This is the book that I always have at hand when I'm working on a knitting project: It has provided answers --with pictures-- to every dilemma that I've ever had.

For me (a somewhat experienced knitter) it's an indispensable resource.
Rating: - Everything in 1 book!
I am new to knitting, and although I couldn't understand the first few steps to start knitting (my fault, not the books), this book has been a big help after learning the basic cast on and knit! So many things to learn and GREAT pictures!
