Hmm. Well, I don't actually have this book, but if I were you I'd check into
The Complete Encyclopedia of Needlework. I have
The Complete Encyclopedia of Crochet, and TCEON is by the same woman, so I am certain it is as good, though not as exhaustive.
Also, check out
www.stitchguide.com, which has video clips & written instructions for both knitting & crochet stitches.
