Linda;
You need to realize this book was written solely for the blind. He has very detailed descriptions on how to do different items, relating to knitting. Only a high partial might benefit from diagrams. Do not give up on the book. Try to read some of it. If pictures are your preference, after giving it a try, then sell your copy or donate it to some other blind person that would love to learn to knit.

I bought the print copy but was greatly disappointed as there are no photos in it at all. I cannot imagine knitting something that has no photo with it so you would know what it will look like. I have never used the book at all.
