The Zentangle Untangled Workbook: A Tangle-a-Day to Draw Your Stress Away Description

I pre-ordered this book with the understanding of all the caveats Kass and Northern Lights had stated, such as it was for beginners, more experienced tanglers may not find it as helpful as other books. These comments did not deter me, but they did help set my expectations. I cannot in all honesty give the book a five star rating (because of some of the issues Kass raises in her video, which are all very valid and answer my niggling concerns) but it is definitely worth the money - especially if you know what you are getting, and don't come to it with expectations of what YOU THINK it should be.
Believe me, in many ways, the book went far beyond my expectations. Certainly I do not see it as lasting a whole year, but I relish the idea of exploring each tangle in-depth. By learning to look at a limited number of tangles in a close and careful way, it will inform how I approach other tangles in different circumstances and settings.
A good teacher opens your mind to possibilities - if you were in a class, you would not expect the teacher to explore the whole spectrum of possiblities, but you would expect her to focus on certain aspects, ensure you understood them and were able to use them in the wider world of your creative exploration. This is exactly what Kass has done, but in book form.
There are reasons for the decisions made about spiral binding etc etc. Kass has addressed these very eloquently in a video you can find on her site. I won't try to summarize them, but I urge you to go to her website and just listen to what she has to say.
