Julie My vote is for "Tak V Bowes". These are the clearest, easiest to learn from instructions for fingerloop braiding that I've come across so far. This is one book where I think you should have a new/good copy in your library and a second copy in your workroom. I bought the book as soon as it came out a few years ago and I love it. I will probably buy a second copy soon. I highly recommend it.
The book is self-published by someone I think may be on this list. I recommend buying a new copy and supporting the author. I believe we should encourage those among us who have knowledge, talents and skills to take the chance and publish their collected wisdom and information in formats the rest of us can enjoy and use well into the future.

What do you think? I think both are under my $100 limit, even with the pound to dollar conversion rate plus shipping.
