Disappointed.

The presentation of this pamphlet was, at best, deceptive. The entire text has the feel of a hurried "how-to" one might find on the do-it-yourself sites online. The photographs are awkward, the instruction unclear, and the general technique seems to value techniques which are either totally unexplained or simply ineffective.
It needs to be understood that there is truly a countless number of techniques, styles, methods and approaches which can be applied to the art of whipmaking. This text covers only one method, making no mention of whether it can be modified or expanded. The method described is presented as if it is the standard when, in fact, it is one of the most uncommon techniques I've yet seen. If you must laugh when I say this, do so, but the approach here is literally backwards: Reilly actually instructs the reader to braid from the point of the whip back, which is the reverse of all traditional methods.
Only snake whips are covered, with the barest hint that other types might be possible. There are four main types of whips available to be made. This text attempts to cover only one. In my opinion that puts the scope of this work at 25% of what other instructionals cover. There are no instructions for handle patterning, or design, whatsoever. There are also unnecessary steps, missing information, and outright incorrect instructions.
If this book is to be purchased at all, let it be as only a reference. Take the topics discussed as intellectual curiosity, not literal truths or facts. If I had the choice to title this book at all, I would have called it Making Nylon Whips (Poorly).

i have read this book twice. i don't think i could make a whip from the information provided within this very poorly put together manual. the photos provided are tiny, like they were taken with a cell phone and emailed to the publisher. half the time her huge acrylic nails are in the way of what she is doing. such a rip off for nearly $14. not worth returning, because they charge a restock fee (understandable) this is going either in the garbage or to the goodwill. it's unfortunate crap like this gets published.
i wish i would have read the other reviews before i purchased this thing
DO NOT BUY!
if you REALLY want to learn how to make whips, the best way is to find a teacher, barring that, i would research a book first. if i would have, i would have ended up with How To Make Whips (Bushcraft) by Ron Edwards. Couple of bucks more, but you'll actually be able to make a whip after reading it. Whips and Whip Making by David W. Morgan is more of a history of the trade than an actual how-to book.
Also, it wouldn't hurt to find people on the internet or locally, if you can, that are happy to teach or pass on info that they have come across. Some people actually DO like passing on their craft.
good luck!!

The book showed only one way to approach the project and it wasn't one of the better methods. There wasn't much if any explanations of why something was done the way it was.
