This book has a complete introduction to complex braids. Rodrick Owen goes from easy to very complex but amazing patterns. it shows you how to start in this wonderful art with proper and alternative tools and equipments. Braiding work is explained to be completed with both either a cardboard or a Marudai. The instructions are very clear and the photographs as well which show what you will get at the end of the task. Peruvian patterns and their variation are really awesome. I love this book. One of my best seller in braiding art.
