This is a solid little reference book for the basics of tambour.
Ter Welle has written a concise guide for the beginner tambour embroiderer here. They start off with a solid preface and then work through the basics of the stitch in very clear English prose. It covers the famous embroidery houses, the basics of the stitch, and specific applications of the stitch as well as the ancillary tools and supplies. They go on to give some personal commentary about how to think about the whole process which is really thoughtful and very nice to have.
This book is especially good if you are a student who can learn from explanation rather than diagrams and illustrations. And that is the only place this little guy falls short - there *are* color photographs, but they are not as thorough as they could be. I am using this for my sewing classes in Chicago tambour series and it tends to put folks off a bit that there are not more illustrations of the hand position or photographs of the entire sequence of the stitch. It almost requires a live person showing you what they mean. And exactly how to do it point-by-point.
Chapter 5, where they cover the chainstitch itself, is a good example. It shows you the chainstitch in progress using a crochet hook, and it shows you a tambour hook being used, but it does not show you the full dynamic progression of the stitch. This is easier for some, but can be really difficult to divine if you are someone who can't think in a kind of "active progression 3-dimensional" way.
But that is the only deficit here - with the lack of tambour technique manuals out there, this is a handy little godsend. Hopefully other editions will fill out the text with more pictures/images/diagrams of the work in progression. This is going to be the basic go-to for live classes, for sure.
You may want to look elsewhere if you are trying to teach yourself without someone knowledgeable standing beside you or if you expect to use *only* the book and not the online resources they give. A lot of folks will really have trouble if they are trying to rely on the book alone.
