Attn: Stefania Ars Canusina

I read about Ars Canusina is this month's issue of RAKAM. Am I correct
in understanding that the book written in 1935 has been recently
reproduced? Can it be purchased do you know? They only leave a telephone
number for more information, and I'd be too nervous about my italian to
phone...

Thank you for any information!

Sigh, sob :-(
I've called the phone number, I've found a very kind person.
The book has been reprinted in 1992 (not so recently, indeed) and has
gone out of print in 1996. It's a book of drawings, without directions
for the technique.
There are some copies in the libraries of the Emilia-Romagna towns
near Reggio Emilia. When I'll be back from my holiday (a six days
course of embroidery in a mountain town :-)) I will try to get it thru
a near public library (not the one in my town because it's too small).

If you're interested in Ars Canusina, there's a book from "Reggio
Ricama" (http://www.reggioricama.org) that has some instructions,
photos, and designs. It's written in italian/english. I don't remember
the price. If you're interested, you should ask directly to them.

Ciao, Stefania
