Are you reading about improving your golf game, your marriage, your parenting skills, your relationship with your cat? Are you reading about how to lose weight, gain weight, dress better, save money, get organized, sell your home, or relocate to a new country? Are you reading aloud to your cat books about how to sell the dog for the best profit, or how to catify your living space? Are you and your cat reading books teaching you haw to do tai chi or yoga? ...
If your book is about how to collect stuff, how to play chess, or the finier points about how to coach baseball, this is also the place for your book. If your book is about specific athletes or chessmasters you might check out the memoirs/biographies thread, or history if it covers a broader subject than just specific people's stories. If your book is about all the varieties of stamps or depression era glassware, etc., your book may fit better in the Art & Art Books thread.

Laura H | 169 comments Complete Crochet Course The Ultimate Reference Guide by Shannon Mullett-Bowlsby Complete Crochet Course: The Ultimate Reference Guide by Shannon Mullett-Bowlsby and Jason Mullett-Bowlsby. -put this here in the Hobbies category because this extremely detailed kindle book mostly teaches everything imaginable about how to crochet, and also the history, types, etc. with gorgeous photos. The authors are clearly passionate about their subject. The print version would make it easier to use as a reference book.
