Intermediate Crochet tutorials

I've been looking for a book that is the complete handbook of crochet - like the Montse Stanley handknitting book, but for crocheters. The MS book has about 20 different methods for casting on, the same for casting off etc - when most folks probably only know one or two methods.

So far I haven't found anything, so instead I'm collecting links to useful stuff online. I'm all about the crochet at the moment, it's so much easier!

These are all interesting techniques that aren't in most beginner's crochet books.
