I love the book, a lot of great information. I did think that a CD of how to do the stitches was included.

This is a comprehensive book on cross stitch. I haven't seen anything like this before. Detailed explanations of each stitch and how to do it plus clear and easy to understand pictures. Has some patterns which are broken down in segments through out the book. So you can do the patterns in sections step by step. I would highly recommend.
