What a rip-off! After waiting anxiously nearly a year for this book to be published, what do I find? Approximately 12 skimpy pages (out of 148) (really 6 pages of information and 29 photos, most of them small) telling about Mr. Noro (2 paragraphs and a quote) and the Noro Yarn Company . This "Meet the Man Behind the Legendary Yarns" is then followed by 40 recycled projects from Cornelia Tuttle Hamilton's various Noro project books. Unbelievable! She couldn't even be bothered to create new projects for this book! There should definitely be a disclaimer in the book description: WARNING: IF YOU OWN THE AUTHOR'S PREVIOUS NORO PATTERN BOOKS, DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS VOLUME! I have never before returned a book to Amazon, even when I have mistakenly ordered duplicates...but I am going to send back this book. It is a total waste of money. I suppose if you are new to Noro yarns and have none of Cornelia Tuttle Hamilton's knitting pattern books, then you will find it worthwhile. But if, however, you are, like me, one of those knitters who has devoured every Noro pattern that has come along for the past ten years or so, you already have every pattern in this book...so save your money. The 12 pages about Eisaku Noro and the company aren't worth what even Amazon is charging. I am outraged that a travesty like this could even be published.
