Sounds like an interesting book!
It is, Mary. Now I want to try out the techniques and materials it talks about.
Thanks for the comment.
Sounds something you are interested in. Good luck with the try out.
Thanks, Mystica. I plan to one day, and I'm already experimenting a bit more with what I have.
I need this book. I have a drop spindle and some wool, but I tried once and didn't do so well! Enjoy!

Julie, this book doesn't have anything for using a drop spindle, unfortunately. For that I recommend the Teach Yourself Visually Handspinning book.
