I personally find the Chandler has been superceded by better, newer books. For countermarche or counterbalance looms, I recommend Laila Lundell's "Big Book of Weaving". For rising shed (jack) looms, I recommend Anne Field's "Learn to Weave". Both titles contain a complete weaving course with calculations, drafting, projects, tips, etc.

For begirs who might find it vey useful to follow a pattern, the Swedish books have very nice patterns.  One of the recent ones, Simple Weaves was printed in English.

And now, there is a new one, Tuskaft, which means plain weave, whiich will come out in English next summer, 2018.  It is easy for a beginner to skip over plain weave, but this book has so many interesting fabrics and projects and I think is a very good book even for more advanced weavers.
