Crochet: The Complete Guide by Jane Davis

This is just such a wonderful book, it is spiral bound and laid out just like I would wish. Each stitch is described with excellently clear illustrations and text with the symbol alongside, the stitch patterns library works logically from easy to harder stitches and the small selection of patterns are simple and inspiring. Unfortunately the book can't be used as a beginners book for the UK because the stitches given are American crochet, what they call single crochet we in the UK call double crochet, their double crochet is treble. My concern would be that if I learned US crochet it would be more difficult to switch to UK crochet. It is such a shame, this would otherwise be the perfect starter book.
