1. When this book was first published, back in the 80s, it was one of the first basketry instruction books I ever purchased. I still have the ragged thing, well worn because of how often I used it.

   Robin's clear pictures and very detailed, well written, instructions made learning how to weave baskets a sheer delight. Step by step, she leads the beginner on a sure path to the ultimate perfect basket. Intermediate basketweavers are also introduced to different weaving materials and techniques. This book offers something for everyone.

   I am very fortunate that my deer antler basket pictures appear in this latest revised copy. They are located on the first page of the artist gallery collection in the center of the book. These photographs are an addition to the original book, with several other excellent basketmakers work appearing in the gallery.

   I am honored to be included in a book that I have always held in the caliber of the Bible. Thank you Robin for the reprint, it will help thousands of beginner basketmakers in their search for excellence!




2. Robin's book was there for me when I started weaving (that was about 10,000 baskets ago) and is still the one I reach for when I need help. Straightforward writing and clear photography combine to make this one of the very best basketry books out there. I've used it as a text in teaching countless classes. It's a book that every basketmaker, beginner or experienced, should have on the shelf.



3. I've got a zillion books on basket weaving; this one is going to the top of my list of favorites.



4. Concise, written fluently and organized; highly recommend.
   
   Not written simply as a hazard of relation.



5. I have to echo previous reviewers of this book, it is in my opinion by far the best all around basketry book, especially for those of us who use natural materials in our work. Robin's details about harvesting and using nature's gifts have been more than informative, they've been invaluable over the years.
   I've always considered this book to be my "basketry bible"... most of what I learned about this art came from Robin's book. Like "wickerwoman" I was honored to have a work of mine included in the updated edition of Splint Woven Basketry... I am sure that this book will continue to inspire artists for a very long time.

1. Easily followed instructions and techniques. Exceptional for a variety of border patterns! Rare to find in other basket books



2. Flo Hoppe has used excellent illustrations and easy-to-read directions so any novice can be making beautiful round reed baskets in no time!! She is the "queen" of making and teaching round reed techniques. This book has many beautiful baskets and she takes you from the most basic basket on to very advanced ones. As a teacher I would be lost without this book. I have had State Fair winning baskets that my 4-H students have picked from this book! Flo has a 2nd book that is even better for the advanced weaver!! Get it now, you will not be dissapointed.

1. This book is a very good addition for a weaving library. It explains very well how to set up and weave overshot.
