More amusing than useful given the wealth of spinning books that are on the market now, but still fun to read.

I had to work hard to find a copy of this on Amazon.com that wasn't in horrible shape. I'm so glad I did, and I can't encourage publishers enough to republish this title. Kluger's love of the art of spinning comes through with every paragraph, every chapter. It's inspiring.

This book is a great tutorial in the spinning process and a good read besides. Very informative and helpful. It takes you from sheep to fiber.
