1: A Real "How To---"
This author has done a really superb job in applying the principles of tesselation to pattern design. Anyone wishing to find how to make an original pattern has all the tools in this book. It is a real find.

2: Useful and inspirational in many ways
This is one of my absolute favorite design books. While it's primarily directed to designing quilts, it's tremendously useful for designing patterns in any craft that uses modules or blocks, especially crochet or knitting.
While densely packed with information, it's written in a way which is readily understood, with plenty of examples and illustrations. It's best to work through in sections, taking the time to absorb the principles and play with the ideas, instead of trying to rush through everything.
I showed this book to a friend who's an art collecter and a particular fan of Escher. He ordered his own copy that very day, after I had to pry his fingers off of my copy.

5: Well worth it!
I bought this book with the intent of it being a gift for someone interesteed in collecting "art books" who also likes fiber arts and quilting. I ended up keeping the book as I couldn't bear to give it away after opening it! It is Very readable, the excersies are understandable and useful, and by the end of each chapter you have a firm grasp of that aspect of 2 dimensional surface design. Several friends are waiting to borrow it from my library, but its one that I'll keep track of.
