. . by Juliet Bawden.  I don't know much about Juliet Bawden but know that she is very much involved in crafts and is a lively and very good writer on all sorts of aspects.  This book has been an inspiration to many over the last several years.  When I looked for a copy for a friend a couple of years ago I could only find second hand copies very expensively.  Recently - and this is my reason for letting everyone know - I looked at Amazon (UK) and found several selling very cheaply - even one penny (plus postage).
