5-0 out of 5 stars Extremely informative
I bought this book after taking classes in making lightship baskets locally, and must admit that without it I would not have been able to continue making them at home.The history of the baskets is excellent, andcolored photographs of baskets as well as the island of Nantucket arenumerous throughout the book.If you are at all interested in baskets,this book is a must!

Completely indispensable text for the weaver, curator, researcher, student, collector or just plain curious.Not a theoretical text; rather, the intent is to enable the reader to identify any basketry work produced by Native North Americans from the Arctic to the Southeast.5-0 out of 5 stars The book I longed to find on this topic.
I first learned of this book from a basket trader in Tucson who was explaining why I could never find any Pima baskets that matched a photograph in a booklet I had. He suspected the photographer used a brownfilter to enhance the appearance. He pulled out a copy of"IndianBaskets" to show me the difference and told me if I was serious aboutbaskets I needed to get this book. In it, I found along with beautifulphotographs large enough to see in detail of many tribes' baskets: anencyclopedia of information including a list of tribes that still madebaskets with descriptions of the designs each uses, detailed drawings anddescriptions of the many different stitches used in baskets, a chart thatcan be used to find which tribes make baskets with your favorite stitches,and even a list of prices for baskets sold a few years ago. It was the bookI longed to find on this topic. The one obvious omission was a list ofsites where tribes sell baskets today, but fortunately that information isreadily available from other sources. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars The Longaberger Consultant and Bentley's Guide
I am a Longaberger consultant and have every Bentley's Guide ever published, including an autographed first copy. It is a great help in promoting the value of our products (the fact that they appreciate, not depreciate)!It has been of great help in increasing insurance coverage, not only for myself, but also for customers.I had one customer who lost items in a fire; we used the guide for the replacement value for the insurance company.I now have customers who purchase their own Guide.

5-0 out of 5 stars The Bentley Collection Guide 8th Edition : The reference too
This was a great book.I wish that I had the book earlier, when I first started collecting Longaberger Baskets. This is a very good reference book I will use for years to come.

5-0 out of 5 stars THE Book for Longaberger Collectors
This is the book to use to evaluate your Longaberger collection or to help evaluate a basket before you buy.A must for any collector that trades on the secondary market!The book is divided into sections by basket type andincludes an index for quick referencing.Take it along to the next basketauction you attend! ...

5-0 out of 5 stars Longaberger lovers dream
This book is absolutely wonderful. It has very nice pictures of the baskets and is very helpful when you are just starting to collect baskets. My only gripe is there are a FEW (a SMALL few) they do not have pictures of. It is a wonderful tool for anyone who loves Longaberger. Very helpful for ebay, etc.

5-0 out of 5 stars Bentley guide is a must-have for consultants and collectors!
I can't be without my Bentley Guide!I am a consultant and I bring it to every show to show my customers how much their investment in Longaberger baskets will grow over the years!It also has allowed me to see older baskets that I wanted and was able to track down on Ebay!LOVE IT!! ... Read more

Editorial Review

Whether tramping through the woods of Appalachia in search of the straightest-grained white oak or wading through the marshes of the Carolina low country gathering bulrush, the basket maker is intimately bound to nature and the raw materials of her craft. Few traditional handcrafts still in practice today, adds Robert Shaw in Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars Handmade Baskets:28 Beautiful Baskets
This book is a great basket book - good, clear instructions.In general, I would recommend Lyn Siler's "The Basket Book" as a better beginner's basket book.The projects in "Handmade Baskets"are a bit more advanced and unusual which for a non-beginner makes this a great addition to "The Basket Book".

5-0 out of 5 stars Love This - Very Good Illistration and Photos
I bought this book when I was beginning to make baskets.This book is amust for the beginner and the advanced basket maker.It has severaldiagrams for each of the basket and has at least one color picture for eachbasket.Ms. Siler even has several photographs of variations of thebaskets.I really enjoy this book and feel that it is a wonderful resourcefor all basket weavers.

5-0 out of 5 stars An excellent compilation of basket-making projects
This book provides plans and directions for 28 baskets in a variety of styles: New England, Southwest, Victorian, etc.The directions are clear and concise with an added section for potential problem areas such as rimming and lashing the basket.I highly recommend this book for anyone looking for projects and plans ...

5-0 out of 5 stars Baskets and Basket Makers in Southern Appalachia
This is the most inspiring book I have found about making baskets. John Rice Irwin covers the subject of producing hand made baskets from scratch with a minimum of tools, and materials found in nature. The author features a great variety of black and white pictures of high quality baskets and makers at work. The book is as much a historical perspective of the Southern Appalachian basket culture, as it is a guide for making your own baskets. The remote areas of the region and the abundance of white oak and other native plants dictate the evolution of making baskets. There are references that indicate the initial designs were adopted by the Cherokee people of the region for harvesting, storing, and marketing their crops. The author has taken great care to include many details about the basket makers, their methods, and reasons for weaving. I was most inspired by the personal stories behind each basket, and the fact that many of the baskets outlive their makers. It is not uncommon for a single basket to last through several generations, carrying the love and thoughtfulness of the maker to those that follow. I would recommend this book for anyone interested in hand made baskets, as well as those who are looking for ways to use materials found in the back yard to create a lasting, usefull, even market worthy product. I have adopted many of the methods, meterials, and designes in the baskets I now make. ... Read more
