The bad news?  When bought new, this book costs $42.95 plus shipping.  it is a paperback book.   It's from Thomson Learning which is based in England.   

 

The good news?  When purchased through Amazon.com there are used books available ranging from Used - Very Good to brand new for less than the $42.

 

This 300+ page book has lots of step by step instructions, good drawing and photos.  I actually purchased my book at a half price store and it was in good condition.  It has basic instructions for all sorts of hair styles and includes how to color, relax and related tips.

 

I am always cautious to rave about a book because I know everyone has different interests and requirements.  However, I do like this book even though I have do not have relaxed hair like the majority in this book.  It also includes weaves.

 

You may be able to find it in a library.  I did notice that some cosmetology schools with libraries have this book in their listings.

 

I would love to hear your feedback about this book.

 

Did you love it/hate it/or had mixed feelings?
