I'm sure that there other, possible larger, books out there that contain cast on and  bind off techniques, but I really like this one. I find it to be well organized, well thought out and well illustrated. I have already  learned a lot about cast-on and bind-off methods - I've even learned some  new things about my "go to" methods that I had not known before. Methods are organized into categories . For cast-ons: basic, stretchy, decorative,  circular, double sided, multi-color, provisional and tubular and mobius;  for bind-offs: basic, stretchy, decorative and sewn. I like the size because it's easy to keep in my knitting basket and, as always,  I really like the fact that it has a spiral binding so it lies nice and flat or folds  over easily. For me, this is a very useful book and contains information and instructions  that I used to have to go searching the web for. It's a definite keeper for me ! Do you knit? Then you really might want to check this book out!  I bet you too will want to keep it handy!
