But, I had to for this little book. I am truly a beginner. And a complete dummy when it comes to reading directions. I'm a "show me" kind of person. But, this little book is SOOOO easy to understand & follow. It packs a large deal of great information in such a small book. I get frustrated if I have to wade thru a bunch of, what I call "filler" directions. This is straight to the point & easy to understand wording & photos. I can't recommend this book enough. Worth ever penny! Review: così così - ci sono tante illustrazioni passo passo ma non sempre è facile seguirle e spesso cercando su youtube si trovano tecniche più semplici per fare una determinata cosa.
