This long-unavailable knitting classic was recently the Number One best selling craft and hobby book in America. There’s a new generation of knitters hungry for this title to be back in print after being unavailable for so long. Knitters have paid more than $200 for a used copy of the original and the Dover paperback edition at $24.95 (around £15) is irresistible. (Buy it online easily at http://www.doverpublications.com) Dover worked closely with Alice to get the best quality possible for this edition and she even felt it is an improvement on the original editions in terms of the colour repro. She’s also especially happy that the book is a Green Edition.

Scotland’s Fair Isle is celebrated the world over for its distinctive, stranded-colour knitting and Alice Starmore is famous for her expertise in designing and instructing knitters in this appealing regional tradition. This volume is profusely illustrated with colour photographs, plus drawings and charts that illustrate the art's history, patterns and techniques. The book is a reprint of The Taunton Press Inc, Newtown, Connecticut, 1988 edition and an absolute ‘must have’ if you didn’t buy a copy the first time round. It’s a fabulous bible for every knitter, by hand or machine. There are masses of charts and colourways to keep all knitters busy on a desert island for ever.
