Book review: Crochet Bouquet Easy Designs for Dozens of Flowers

Great variety of beautiful realistic looking flowers
 
 This 131 page book is filled with great looking flower projects. Instructions are clear, pictures are beautiful, the flowers themselves are wonderful: many flowers are very realistic, some whimsical. This is a best collection of knitted or crochet flowers I found so far. I went to a large book store to find a book with yarn flowers, and originally had another book in mind, but when flipped through this book I immediately saw it was the best option for me. The variety and the prettiness of flowers was heads and shoulders above the other books on the shelves. I bought the book in the brick and mortar store, and later saw that Amazon's price is significantly better.
