Reviews
Item is a "zine", a small "fan-magazine", and fits in my bag of girl-stuff perfectly. It demystified a few things for me, and has assured me I'm not doing things "right". That was what I was looking for. This book is a VERY openly written source for everything you need for this. Except MAYBE actual photos, but most are too squeamish and the drawn diagrams generally show what you need to do. Very well written, I recommend for beginners like me.
