This book is just so handy to have on my shelf. I found the author wants me to gain her experience as well. She is just so amazing!
This book has everything in it with steps to help even the beginner and the advanced user to have new ideas. I loves the section on tension, since that is important for thew outcome of many a craft.
I myself, am still somewhere between beginner and intermediate - and I found the way Dora Ohrenstein explains it helps me a lot!! There is more information for us on shaping, textures, and even finishing. That is where I needed the most help and it was in great color photos and helped explain a great deal.
I am sure the absolute beginner could use this book - I found it was comfortable for me since I am not really a novice at crochet. I enjoyed trying new techniques and felt a bit more competent after reading and using the new choices.
There are also plenty of crafts to try right here in the book. Try something as fun as a bag or scarf - or get more complex into a project for a cowl if the thought moves you. I am keeping this one on the shelf in my crafts room!
