" That's pretty darn arrogant. And judgemental. But I do love my original copy of this book. Donna in Virginia |

Is the book that good? I can't imagine paying that much for a needlecraft
book. I am now on the lookout for one at the second hand bookstores or will see about buying the reprint. "Rosanne" wrote in message oups.com...

I am now on the lookout for one at the second hand bookstores or will see about buying the reprint. It's a very good book, if you're into stitching on linen. It was one of the first books I saw that addressed the history and execution of of various specialty stitches. It has very clear diagrams, and wonderful directions on ending and starting threads. The original edition was spiral bound with a hard cover and a wrapped binding, so that you could open the book to the page that you wanted and it would stay there. I had a copy of the original printing, but never used it. I sold it about four years ago. It's very difficult to find in second-hand bookstores online, as on-line booksellers can see how much it's going for on line. jenn -- Jenn Ridley : WIP: Oriental Butterfly, Floral Sampler, Rose Trio, Carousel (TW) Most recently Finished: Insect Sampler, TicTacToe Sampler, Snow Stitching log: http://jenn-stitch.livejournal.com/ |
