Any recommendations

for books on crochet?

I only remember ONE crochet pattern (out of 3 or 4 I learned as a kid), and I've found it to be a good stress reliever. I've been making dolly blankets for my daughter... I also bought a Nifty Knitter or whatever and made DH a hat (poor bald head got a shock moving from 80 degree Okinawa winter days to 45 degree SoCal winter days) but I can only make so many hats, and blankets take up a LOT of yarn... I dunno I want to make something useful and pretty, and I don't want all the blankies to look the same, and I SUH-UH-UHCK at knitting for some reason (I drop more stitches than I nail. LOL)

I don't crochet because I don't have the dexterity for it, but my mom does and she gets a lot of her patterns at sewing stores/hobby stores.
