This is a great book and covers basic concepts of needle felting and jointing. I do not recommend this book if you already know how to needle felt unless you just like to look at the beautiful pictures and need inspiration. Basically a book for beginners.
I only liked one thing

There was only one thing that I liked...which is the felted soft toy on the front page. Everything eles seems to be...not cute, practical and dood design. If I was in US, i would have returned this book.
What's all the negativity about? This book is adorable!

I was afraid to order this book, based on the negative reviews some gave it ("tacky projects", "weird stuff", "unfinished looking", etc). But the cute little cover made me "have" to order it. I'm really glad I did, because I love the majority of the projects in this book. Let's face it, wearable needle felted stuff is NOT for everyone, and that includes the flower pin, ring, bracelets and belt in this book. But the rest of the stuff is great, and unlike anything else I've seen in similar books (I own several). In fact, that is what I loved about this book - it is the first needle felting book I've seen where the projects aren't BOOORING, fuddy-duddy and frumpy. In addition, this book contains the most thorough and clear explainations of needle felting and related applications. I LOVE it! I was afraid that needle felting meant you could only make traditional designs and objects that weren't too exciting, and that idea was really turning me off to needle felting. But this book got me excited about needle felting again. It's fresh, cute, easy to understand and not only gives you some great project ideas, but also creates some great jumping-off points for designing your own items. It's my most highly recommended book (out of 6+) on this topic so far!
REALLY GREAT BOOK

I love this book. The color pictures and step by step instructions of the needle felting techniques are wonderful. I really don't understand the negative comments. The projects are imaginative and interesting. I don't use a book to copy projects either, but rather as instructional to apply to my own ideas for crafts. The directions are clear and concise. I'm not a beginner and believe the author did a great job with her book. As with any craft book, not all the projects may be your 'style' but there is plenty to learn on all levels. As someone already said, for the nay-sayers, use the Search Inside tool next time! I highly recommend the book.
