    Book was mailed in a thin plastic mailer which the USPS damaged. I was horrified when I retrieved the package from my mailbox. After contacting the seller, he refunded my purchase. The description was very accurate before the USPS received it. The price was excellent. Seller has great communication! Please ask this seller to package the items so that the USPS cannot damage them.

Boy am I ever going to have a fabulous sock collection!!!!! In addition to the beauty of the patterns, they are laid out in a clear and easy to understand and work with manner. And the pictures of the socks are large and well photographed so that the stitch details are easy to see. This increases the ease of noticing any mistake you might be making.
