mean you should write it, or hundreds of them. Yes they are good for some of thier books (Computer for dummies, or whatever) but they do not know everything. I am very disappointed with this book. It is NOT for the New to sewing people. (not for dummies!) It's not the worst books, but I have a few better books in my collection that are great for reference. I think that the Complete Book of Sewing is a clearer book for new sewers. It has a lot of pictures, that the Sewing for Dummies lacks! But it is up to you. I do own this books, but I use it very little, if at all.
