A Complete Dictionary of Essential Stitch Patterns
by Potter Craft
Potter Craft's 400 Knitting Stitches is a dense stitch dictionary offering 400 patterns, from simple knit–purl repeats to Daisy and Moroccan-screen motifs, shown as small swatches with brief instructions. It functions as a visual sampler you consult when you need texture ideas rather than a how-to teaching manual. Best value is quick lookup and idea generation; limitations appear when you want full project layouts, detailed troubleshooting, or larger process photos, because entries assume some knitting literacy.

Consider Accidental Presidents by Jared Cohen. Recommended by 10 sources.
“Accidental Presidents offers eight narrative portraits of men who succeeded to the U.S. presidency without election, using anecdote-rich scenes and readable context to show how personality and circumstance interact with office power. It’s strongest as a set of self-contained stories that make succession stakes concrete for non-specialist readers; it does not prioritize dense archival argument or exhaustive methodology, so expect some interpretive generalizations and repeated themes across cases. Use it for fast historical orientation rather than scholarly deep-dives.”
