MOST HELPFUL REVIEWS

This book is not for beginners to tie dying. While I like the history (of the author/artisan on The Farm), and like the pattern making techniques and the way that set of instructions is demonstrated, the author (for example) makes reference to prepping the shirts and what he does, but not the specifics/measurements of pre-dye solutions, etc... This is explained in the opening section by describing this as the second in a series of tie-dye books. This is a fine idea, except that the first book, on the basics of dying has not yet been written/published, and this fact isn't apparent to prospective buyers, as could have been done by adding to the title with something like "":Advance Techniques" or ":Book 2 In a Series.
With the limitations mentioned above, the book is generally very well put together, organized and illustrated. There are definitely a few resolution, focus, or reproduction issues in the photo's. None of which will adversely effect your understanding of the intent.
The results shown are lovely, the techniques for folding and applying the dyes specific, but this is useful to you if you are well versed in all of the other basic aspects of TD'ing. I strongly recommend getting, studying and using the Tie-Dye 101 DVD video to novices, before taking on a book like this one.

This is an alright book. I tried to make a star but I folded it once to much, it turned out looking like a bulls-eye instead. This method takes alot of trial and error. Not for the beginner tie-dye artist.

This book is not for the beginners but does have some basic tips in the first few pages. I love the detailed pictures in the book. The book covers different kinds of stars and the colors that work best for them.
