Review

This is a great little booklet on how to get started with IT. If you, like me have always wondered about that mystical substance that so many magic men seem to draw their power from but wouldn't have a Scooby Doo where to start with it, this would be as good a place as any.

It starts off with in introduction into thread, the different substances that you can use and ways to camouflage it so it's less likely to be noticed.

It then goes on to cover hooks ups and has a couple of very clever little ideas that I'd never have thought of and finally the last section has a selection of tricks that can be performed with thread.

For me, a totally beginner in the world of IT I found this book fascinating and a grat place to get me started. If you're an experienced threadarian then there probabaly wont be much of all that much use to you in here.

But for that price I can hardly complain and it's given me some great ideas that I'm itching to try out on some poor, unsuspecting soul.

Overall 7/10
