Book Reviews of Still Stripping After 25 Years

Book Review: Decent collection of easy quilts
Summary: 3 Stars

This is a great book for a beginning quilter. As is true with all of Ms. Burn's books, the instructions are clear, the book includes a lot of fantastic illustrations and the quilts are easy to make with strip piecing. I have made three of the quilts and they go together very quickly and easily.

I downgraded the book to three stars because of the physical quality of the book. The copy I received apparently contained many, nmany errors, which had been corrected by pasting small pieces of paper with the corrections over the original type - I counted 25 "pastings" in all! The book LOOKED like a patchwork quilt on some pages! It also had some misnumbered pages (that were not corrected), as well as headings that were incorrect (wrong name of quilt in the heading). I also found errata sheets for one of the quilts on the Quilt-in-a-Day website.

This was a hardcover copy and I was very disappointed that the publisher (a) let so many errors thru to final copy; and (b) made me pay so much money for a book that had so many typoes and "patches". I hope that those problems have been resolved in the copies that are now available.
