"Amos, who has been making spinning wheels and studying handspinning for more than 40 years, has finally distilled this experience into a definitive book deserving of its title."—Library Journal

"A great and entertaining read.... informative and funny with plenty of light-hearted humor thrown in that I found refreshing with the very technical nature of the book."-
Spindle and Wheel

Alden Amos is self-employed as a wheel builder and production spinner and lives outside of Jackson, California with his wife, Stephenie Gaustad.
