2008-08-01 Great little book but...

Got to say this book, at first glance, is excellent, inspirational, quirky, a great idea. With James Dean as my main template I'm also using a number of the clothing patterns to create Eddie Cochran as a gift for my husband's birthday - leather trousers, check shirt and gold lame for the waistcoat, not to mention adapting George Harrison's guitar to turn it into a Gretsch 6120! However, personally I would have never ok'd this book in its current format and this is why I have given a three star rating. As the clothing patterns need to be photocopied in an enlarged form, I would like the pages to be removable as I have had one hellava job trying to copy them, the spine of the book gets in the way etc. Publishers take note! Overall a great little book, and as one person (at least) has said, beats knitting booties!
