"Nice book for any serious whittler" according to microjoe. There are some dualing reviews here, one reviewer loved the old fashioned carvings and illustrations, one of the reviewers did not like it since it is an older book and felt the instructions were not clear enough. I like it, including the old drawings. The carving challenges are very much the way things used to be, and the items for carving are very nostalgic to me. I posted a picture of the cover, so you can see some of the types of whittling projects there are in this book. It is challengi.
