My Favorite Basketry Book

I am a reader.  I read everything, especially in subject's that interest me.  When I started weaving 7 years ago, of course, one of my first endeavors was to find a book on baskets.  My find was "The Art of Basketry" by Kari Lonning.

In this book, is not are the pictures gorgeous, but it is very well written.  The basic instructions for bases and how to calculate your spokes for round reed weaving is the best I have found.  
Since I started weaving, I have amassed a collection of over 50 basketry books.  But this is the one that I go back to over and over again.
