Summary: This doily book isn't for everyone
Review: C'mon ladies, let's get real here - anyone serious about doilies will know this book is just doesn't cut it. There are absolutely no chapters on the art of speed crocheting nor doily folk lore. Also, some of the patterns in this book are so elementary they could be created by a someone who is only a class I or II doily maker. If you want a real doily book, check out "Give me Doilies, or Give me Death" by Mike Johnson - you won't regret it.
