I'm kind of torn here.
There is, potentially, a lot of good information in this. I absolutely LOVE (LOVE LOVE LOVE. Cannot emphasize that enough) that the illustrations tell what size the model is wearing and how much ease is in the sweater. I wish all knitting books did this!
I'm not sure, however, that I think a lot of the designs included are particularly flattering on the models. This shouldn't be a big deal because good information can always be applied to other knitting patterns, right? It does make me question the author's eye and judgment, though. There are some good ideas here but I don't think they're very effectively illustrated.
Also, as one Goodreads reviewer noted, there is no advice for women whose waists are the same circumference as, or larger than, their hips, and that excludes a whole lot of knitters. This is a group, too, who often have the hardest time finding flattering clothing, so skipping them entirely seems like a particularly egregious oversight.
I like that the models are different shapes and sizes. The bottom-heavy girl is not really that bottom-heavy (if you need a bottom-heavy model, just call me. I'm not pretty but if you can make something look good on my figure, you'll have knocked one out of the park).
The scoop neck on the Cypress cardigan (page 30) doesn't really look that great on the top-heavy model. Most top-heavy women I know don't want low necks that call even more attention to their chests; it would look better if it were a little higher and didn't give the impression that her bosom was pulling the sweater down.
