Summary: A KNITTERS PARADISE-A BOOK LOVERS HEAVEN
Comment: Knitting in America is a joy to open! From page one to the end, each picture, description, technique and style is thrilling to explore. Melanie Falick did a fantastic job researching this book. Anyone who loves history, literature, geography, photography, America, color, texture or knitting will treasure this compilation! Choose Knitting in America over all others if there can be only one: You will not be disappointed!

Summary: Not a must have knitting book, but worth a look
Comment: At first glance this is a terrific book. It features American knitters from all over the country -- very fun to see pictures of some of the designers and learn about them. There are also about 40 designs, some classic and some that are pretty out there. The photography is divine.
Unfortunately, this book hasn't stood the test of time well for me. I tend to prefer knitting books that I refer to over and over again. This book lacks the quality of being a good reference for either technique or designing. I doubt that I look at more than once every six months.
Bottom line -- if you can find a copy for a good price, a nice second tier addition to a knitting library. But if the budget is tight, there are many equally beautiful and much more useful books on the market.

Summary: pretty pictures, not very useful
Comment: This book has beautiful pictures. Its emphasis is mainly on knitting artists in America. It tells their stories, and showcases some beautiful work. BUT... it is not a very useful book. I would say that patterns only take up about a quarter of this book. There are some very special patterns, but I would rather take this one out of the library. If you want to pay for inspiration, this is the book for you. If you want to get busy and knit, this is not a necessary purchase.
