Probably good for new knitters and new sock knitters as there are very detailed written and visual descriptions of "how-to"; not so much to learn for the more experienced knitters and sock knitters, who might have been learning from the Internet and other books.
The "Aloha" toe and cast of - is a matter of taste. Some may love them; to others they might not be that great.
Some annoying errors in the text (old sentences not completely deleted, half words and typos), which should have been corrected a long time ago, as this book is printed in new "editions" at a regular basis (home printer print).
Not a bad book, but not "revolutionary" either if you have been learning/researching about sock knitting for a while.
If you are having problems with getting good socks and don't know why, this book might be able to help as there are good directions for both visual learners as well as reading learners.
One "negative" about the book: There is a lot of 'excess' text to read through at the beginning. It is not a book that is easy to jump into the middle the first time around. ( )

In short, reading the Queen Kahuna guide is like taking a class from an affable, experienced teacher, who will patiently explain every step to you while also offering you handy tips for making things a bit easier. Is it really worth $25 plus shipping? Probably not, but in the final analysis, I'm glad to add it to my own knitting library.
