I'm reviewing my needlework books for the purpose of downsizing. This little toss-off will be one of the first to go. No, it's not a bad book per se. But its original cost in 1978 was $1.95 and it hasn't aged that well in 30 years. It's one of the very common household 123 Home Guides, made of extremely cheap, coarse paper: the b&w pics are of poor quality with no color in sight except the front and back covers. (In the Images above, the pink one with the woman holding the purse is the back cover. The sampler of pretty stitches is the front cover.) The projects displayed are too "groovy" for today's standards. What the book has to offer is diagrams of several dozen stitches which you might find useful. I can recommend all the books in the bibliography as I own them all.
