Default BOOK REVIEW: The Little Coin Purse

Title: The Little Coin Purse
by Carol Devlin
ISBN: 0974188700

32 pages, but they're a quarter the normal size of a piece of pape

I seriously thought I got an empty box from Amazon, then discovered
that this book is so tiny it can barely be called a pamphlet.The
material appears decent, but for about the same money I could get one
of Margie Deeb's books, which could keep me occupied for months, and
be used as a reference for years.

This book could have been written in an afternoon, while typing with
one finger. (although I realize figuring out techniques takes a while
- but there are usually some "eureka!" moments which make it go much
more quickly). I'd skip this one, because it really wants to fit in
a Little Coin Purse, not just help you make one.

Your Intrepid Reporter,

Kathy N-V

P.S.: For those familiar with my stories, you could read two of
them, and get about as much content as is in this book.

Good to see you back on board, Kathy. Shame about the book although it did
stimulate your considerable wit!
