Review: When I got this book, I was kind of curious, because it looks like a thin book. Boy, was I in for a surprise. Not only do you get to see the finished product for ALL the patterns, but you also get an un-biased history on Santa Claus. The charts are in the back of the book, and offer information on different cloth choices. These charts are printed on glossy good quality paper, the same as the rest of the book, and use the color AND symbol chart methods. Unless you have a thread conversion chart or are not willing to get one, and you don't use DMC threads, don't get this book. On the very back page are instructions of how to stitch on aida and linen. This book is filled with 22 classic and charming pictures of historical and modern pictitions of Santa Claus. It looks easy enough for people who have very little experience in cross-stitch, while offering an enjoying stitching experience for us more experienced stitcher's. I HIGHLY recommend this book. If Amazon offered a sneak peak at some of the pictures, it would definitely be a selling point for this item.
Happy Stitching!
