    Does this book have an ISBN? I want to include it in a bibliography I’m doing for Library Journal.

    If I purchase your book in the PDF format, will I be able to print a copy for my own use?

    Many people like “Navajo Weaving Way” by Noel Bennett and Tiana Bighorse. You’ll find that our book, Atł’óhí Binaltsoos (The Weaver’s Book): How to Weave the Navajo Way, is very detailed and is supported by video resources that many people have found helpful. I think that you’ll find both books helpful learning to weave the Navajo way.

    I have finally found what I have been looking for, and have enjoyed all of your questions and answers. I am trying to find a good book to help me get started in weaving of any kind of tapestry. I am a disabled U.S. Navy Nurse (I have MS) with limited financial resources, so I would like to find the best book to get started with. Is ‘Atł’óhí Binaltsoos (The Weaver’s Book): How to Weave the Navajo Way, in your opinion, the book I am looking for? If it isn’t can you point me in the right direction? I have access to lumber and other building materials and can build most anything. Looking at the price of looms, I know that I can build a Navajo loom and would love to be part of a very historic art.
    Thank you for you time and information.

    Mary,
    Hi there! This is a blast from the past. You helped me three years ago when I was on sabbatical. I worked with Jennie. I have been weaving since then but only on portable loom. I have finally gotten time to set up my larger Navajo loom and got out your booklet to do so. 2008 addition. I got to page 34 and realized I didn’t have page 35. I am missing steps 8, 9, 10 in Mounting the warp. Help.
    Could you please email me these. I have a feeling they are really important and I could fake it but…..

    I hope all is well with you and Jennie and that you are not melting out there. It sounds pretty dreadful.

    Give my love to Jennie.

    shalom,
    Alison Halsey
