This book was not at all what I expected- from the description I was expecting instructions on how to create the patterns. Instead, the loose sheets at the back have all the construction lines done for you and you use them to trace the pattern lines and colour in the designs. There are no instructions whatsoever on how to create the grids yourself. There is, within the book, one set of instructions on creating a 10-point star but the first step is "start with a circle divided into 10 parts," but it doesn't tell you how to do this.
It would make an interesting colouring book and you can play with the designs and experiment with different patterns that can be made from the same construction grid; if that's what you're after it's a nicely put together book. But if you're after instructions on how to create compass and ruler constructions, this is not the right book.
My (new) copy also arrived extremely grubby so I am returning and am going to try "Islamic Geometric Patterns" by the same author instead.
