I took a chance on this book and it was well worth it. I am an international buyer, so English is not my first language but I could follow the instructions with no particular problems. I love almost all of the patterns and will certainly try to make as many as time permits. I also own Amigurumi World: Seriously Cute Crochet and if I had to choose, Amigurumi (Cozy) is my favorite.
