Note: some of the reviews say that the patterns in the book are difficult to copy. However, the book contains instructions on how to obtain a pdf file of all the patterns. They do not need to be copied from the book.
This is a very well produced book that contains a refreshing selection of patterns that are head and shoulders above the usual snowflakes, dinosaurs and nativity scenes that seem to be everywhere else. The skill required for the various patterns ranges from beginner to experienced but all require a steady hand and a good eye. The resulting items will more than reward the work put in.

Bought the book and then emailed the publisher who sent me pdf copies of the patterns.
Much easier than photocopying

Not everyone will understand what makes a good pattern book good. This book is one of the good ones, if you have worked with pattern books before, this one is very easy to work with.

This is the, hands-down, best set of woodworking patterns I have ever seen. I want to do all but one. They are beautiful and labelled by skill level. These could easily be adapted to other types of projects too!
