Crocheting School a Complete Course
http://issuu.com/talpa/docs/crocheting_school

 This is a great book... It is for beginners really and shows you how to do everything from starting off your knots to making circle projects and square projects. Then it progresses into harder stitches and patterns. It is really like a full crochet course. There is even a section on how to embroider your crochet work and how to make holes for buttons. You also learn how to do Tunisian Crochet... Borders... it is jam packed of all sorts of crochet lessons. I'm not one of those people that can learn by a book... I tried to learn crochet from a book the first time and it was frustrating and got no where... but if you are the kind of person that can learn from books then this is a great book. Check it out at the link above. Even if you aren't a beginner there are probably a lot more stitches and advice you don't know so this could be quite useful for intermediate crocheters too.
