Grade: A
This is an encyclopedia, in question-and-answer form, for knitters, covering a wide variety of knitting-related subjects, from different methods of casting on to forms of embelishment and even duplicate knitting.
A useful resource, and the volume is small enough to fit easily in your knitting bag.

Grade: B+?
A biographical novel about Elizabeth I of England, and long out-of-print.
